Laughter – The Iconic Space NK Fine Fragrance Collection

“The most wasted of days is one without laughter”-E.E Cummings.

Laughter, Space NK’s best selling fine fragrance, is available in a choice of indulgent gifts this holiday season. Rooted in Nicky Kinnaird’s personal memories of childhood, Laughter is an uplifting fragrance inspired by the Spanish Mediterranean Costa del Azahar, where the sun drenched orange groves sweep down to the sea.

Fresh citrus top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and lime are invigorated by the tonic effect of juniper berry, angelica root and verbena with refreshing aromatic notes of rosemary, fennel and coriander. The sensual woody base of patchouli, amber and musk is enlivened by a sweet, spicy bite of ginger.

Laughter Eau de Toilette, $80.00 (50ml)
Laughter Eau de Parfum, $95.00 (50ml)

Introducing the New Space NK Fine Fragrance Collections

Inspired by some of the most unforgettable travel destinations, Nicky Kinnaird introduces four new Space NK fine fragrances for Autumn/Winter ‛08. To celebrate the festive season, these new fine fragrances will be offered in a beautiful selection of gifts.

“Fragrance is one of life’s great pleasures. Personal fragrance and passion are all irrevocably intertwined – the ultimate sensory experience is also a highly sensual one.” Nicky Kinnaird.

The Fine Fragrances: Each fragrance explores the connection between scent and memory, combined with the spirit of travel and discovery.

Tuberoli
Reminiscent of a romantic weekend in Rome, Tuberoli evokes a sense of indulgent femininity and intrigue. A flirtatious, white floral blend of tuberose, neroli and ylang ylang envelop a sensuous base of blackcurrant leaves and luscious peach.

Champaca
Inspired by the breathtaking majesty and exoticism of Rajasthan, Champaca is deliciously earthy and sensual. This beguiling blend of the revered champaca flower and aromatic vetivert is spiced with cedar wood, rich amber crystals and black musk.

Manuel Canovas Paris Les Fantaisies Parfumees

Manuel Canovas Paris Les Fantaisies Parfumees is a collection of 5 perfumes: Pink Riviera, Anse Turquoise, L’ile Bleue, Ballade Verte, and Route Mandarine.

 

My favorite from the Manuel Canovas Paris Les Fantaisies Parfumees collection is Route Mandarine. It reminds me of COCO Chanel which I also love. It smells very oriental and very seductive. Definitely an evening perfume.

Manuel Canovas Paris Les Fantaisies Parfumees in Route Mandarine was inspired by the Orient, and featuring notes of geranium, orange, bergamot, mandarin, clove, citron, cinnamon, ylang ylang, patchouli, rose, muguet, jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood, vetiver, white musk, vanilla, amber, labdanum, incense, raspberry blossom and civette.

All five of the Manuel Canovas fragrances are available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum for $95 each. The line is available at Bergdorf Goodman in New York and at www.canovasfragrance.com

Pink Riviera was inspired by Saint Tropez, with notes of bergamot from Calabria, Italian citron, Greek grapefruit, Italian mandarin, wild mint, Egyptian jasmine, Turkish rose, Indian sandalwood, white musk and amber.

Marta Walsh Interviews Patricia Kara from Deal or NO Deal

Couple of months ago, I had an amazing opportunity to interview the beautiful Patrica Kara for Beauty Interviews.

Patricia Kara is an actress, model, and a TV personality best known as Deal or No Deal’s #9. Patricia along with Tameka Jacobs, were the only ones chosen to be on the new Daytime Deal or No Deal with Howie Mandel, which premiered in September 2008. In addition, Patricia has appeared in over 20 television programs, such as, E! Entertainment’s Wild On, Extra, and the Golden Globes.

Read my interview with Patricia Kara where we chat about her love for hosting TV shows, how Deal or No deal revolutionized her career, beauty secrets, her upcoming calendar, and plans for the future.

Why have you decided on a career in hosting and reporting?
I started out with modeling about twenty years ago back in Chicago. That led me to Florida and New York. When I was in New York my modeling agency started to send me out to auditions for hosting and acting. I started booking jobs here and there. One job led to the next job. Then I moved to LA and kept working. And I love it! Anytime I can talk and get paid for it to, is just great. I find my job real easy, it is what I love to do. With hosting I get to try new and different things, depending on what I’m hosting about, and being part of them in a way most people don’t get to do. For example, if I do a show about wake boarding, I’ll try wake boarding. I’ve done a fishing show. I’ve also hosted a lot of sporting events, such as Kentucky Derby.

Introducing Vera Wang LOOK The New Fragrance

Be the first to get Vera Wang LOOK, the newest fragrance from Vera Wang.

The bold, modern, captivating scent of Vera Wang Look embraces a woman’s confidence and creates a seductive effect through complex textures and layers of fragrance notes. A sparkling scent of mandarin and watery greens are layered with lush notes of lychee and golden delicious apple, filling the top note with a burst of energy and freshness. The vibrant floral bouquet of lily, freesia and jasmine envelopes with femininity. A natural sensuality is enhanced in the drydown with the richness of vanilla and skin musk. Touches of oakmoss and patchouli create balance.
