The DEMETER FRAGRANCE LIBRARY is a one of a kind type of fragrance library!  You name the flavor, scent, etc. they make it.  Simple colognes, bath & body, and home fragrances make-up each of the collections.  There are 200 fragrances within the DEMETER FRAGRANCE collection.  Each one of the “pick-me-up” scents will transform you back to your childhood, beach, favorite candy, etc.  I selected a few that tickled my fancy!

Like a dream come true!  I just love the Tootsie Collection and of course my favorite is Tootsie Roll since it is my favorite candy in the entire universe!  The smells of this sweet collection will have you feeling like a kid again!

Another favorite is the Baby Powder scent.  It reminds me of when my daughter was an infant when I used to love nuzzling and holding her tight!  

So stop by and peruse the DEMETER FRAGRANCE COLLECTION and find a new favorite scent or rediscover an old scent from the good-old days!

What a great discovery that I was given a chance to explore! KENZO POWER is a new fragrance for men that is surprisingly simple in scent with a twist of a floral scent at the heart of this fragrance. I was thinking a slight floral scent for men? Really would it work? Well, with the mixture of woody scents and spices - this so works!!! I made my husband try it out, and he smelled wonderful! As the scent dried down, new scents came out. I could not keep my hands off of my hubby - I will make sure he wears this more often!

Top notes of this genius little fragrance is comprised of Bergamot, Coriander, and Cardamom.

Middle notes is the surprising twist of Rose, Jasmine, and Freesia.

Bottom notes of Tolu Balsam, Cedar Wood, and Labdanum finish of this simple, yet lasting scent.

Now, if you are a fan of Kenzo Parfum you will love this new addition to their line of fragrances! KENZO POWER does not launch until October 08, but be sure to also check out the rest of their fragrance line.

KENZO POWER will be available in two Eau De Toilette sizes, (2 oz.) for $55.00 and (4.25 oz.) for $75.00. In addition to the Eau De Toilette, there will also be a roll-on deodorant (2.5 oz) for $22.00.

The wait is finally over for all you Jessica Simpson fans (myself included) - Fancy by Jessica Simpson has officially been launched!  What a wonderful, great smelling scent.  It is a little bit fruity, spicy, and sweet all at once…

Fancy will surprise you with the bold fruity scent that you first get a hint of, this is from pear and apricot nectar.  As it dries your senses are introduced to the light floral scent of gardenia (my favorite) and jasmine.  Now the surprising twist is the sweet scent that finally envelopes you with toasted almonds and caramel.   Lastly, creamy sandalwood, vanilla crème and amber crystals provide the base notes for this unforgettable scent.

Fancy is available as an Eau De Parfum (3.4 fl. oz) for $59.00 and as a Body Lotion (6.0 fl.oz) for $30.00.  With these affordable prices, you cannot afford to pass up the chance to “tickle your fancy”!

Well, this week I decided to write about another foundation that I love for the Fall and Winter months - MAC’s Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation.  Just as I transition from my Summer Fragrances to Fall/Winter ones, I do the same with my makeup.  I have always enjoyed MAC foundations and have tried just about every formulation they have to offer, but the one foundation I now run to is the Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation. 

What I just love about this “mineralized” foundation is that it blends natural light-reflecting properties from micro-minerals with a smooth satin finish.  The buildable coverage from low-to-medium allows me to adjust how much or how little I want to wear- usually depends on the kind of day I am going to have and where I am going…I find that it has lasting power, especially when used with Mineralize Skinfinish powder. 

If you try Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation, it will help your skin to appear more radiant and healthy (mine does!).  And this foundation contains vitamins A, C and E to help nurture and condition your skin. And! Best of all, it will provide you with everyday broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 sun protection!The price of this fabulous foundation is only, $28.00 - a great deal for great looking skin!
