 When I first started blogging for Makeup.com, I was obsessed with Narcisco Rodriguez For Her, the eau du parfum verison in that simple, modern, pretty pastel pink bottle.
Narciso Rodriguez had me at hello. Or at least first sniff.
Rodriguez is going to make Spring ‘09 a whole lot better me and a lot of scent-loving ladies with his new Essence Eaux De Parfum Collection, which not only has a fragrance but a deodorant spray, body lotion and shower gel, too.

 When it comes to color, Pantone usually has the final say.
It appears the color of the year for 2009 is mimosa, as in not the alcoholic beverage preferred by ladies that brunch, but an orange-hued yellow bright enough to sear a cornea.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, says, “The colour yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance. Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”

 Reese Witherspoon is America’s Sweetheart — and, boy, did she ever look elegantly sweet in at the recent Country Music Awards.
I got the chance to speak to Lyle Remier, a makeup artist for M.A.C. (and co-designer of the clothing label Evan & Dean), about how to replicate Witherspoon’s enviable CMA look.

 Jean Paul Gaultier brought back the cone bra in the 80s, thanks to his fashion collaboration with Madonna, and recently announced his intention to launch a children’s clothing line this coming January.
JPG is now turning his design sights on making sure everyone drinks that necessary life elixir and skin-saving liquid: water.

 He’s the man behind the brand with that iconic white Rhino, a New Jersey boy who went on to found one of the most successful hip hop-infused streetwear brand Ecko Clothing.
Marc Ecko turned his clothing brand not only into various sub-brands — like G-Unit, Avirex and his Cut & Sew collection — but into a full-on production company called Marc Ecko Entertainment, Complex Magazine, videogame products, art, philanthropy and now a fragrance line with Parlux, the company behind Paris Hilton, Andy Roddick and Jessica Simpson celebrity scents.

 A few weeks ago, I posted that cosmetics company Uslu Airlines — founded by makeup artist Feride Uslu — was getting ready to collaborate with worldwide DJs (think Ed Banger and Rolleryboys) on a club-influenced range of nail polish.
Now comes word of Uslu Airlines’ second-round nail color collabo with German-born designer Bernard Willhelm, who is an industry favorite, having worked under iconic designers like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
The Uslu Airlines x Bernard Willhelm line, based on common airport destinations and hues from Willhelm’s current collection, dropped at OAK in New York recently.

 Celebrity designers are a bit old hat these days, whether it be a celeb launching their own line (like Fetish by Eve) or a celeb teaming up with an already-established label (Rachel Bilson with DNKY).
A road a little less traveled is the celebrity makeup line — the only ones I can think of off the bat are Mary Kate and Ashley for Claire’s Accessories and Stuff by Hilary Duff for mass retailers (think Wal-Mart and JC Penney).
Leave it to model, supermom, television host, skivvies schiller and branding machine Heidi Klum to team up with long-time employer Victoria’s Secret for “The Heidi Klum Collection” for the brand’s Very Sexy Makeup line, the new collection which she debuted at the Grove in Los Angeles last week.

 No one else defines edgy, low-key downtown style the way Erin Wasson does, simply by being Erin.
The bicoastal skater girl-turned-model-turned-stylist-turned-designer has gone from mugging for squeaky clean Maybelline cosmetics to styling designer it-boy Alexander Wang’s Fall ‘08 runway, designing her LowLuv jewelry line, starring with Justin Timberlake in his “I Am William Rast” ad campaign and co-designing a highly-anticipated collection with skate lifestyle brand RVCA.
Cutoff shorts, chunky flat boots, feather headdresses, oversized blazers, men’s tees, carefree hair, enviable accessories, smokey voice, beanies and black define Wasson’s personal style, something that has since been well-documented across the hippest of hip fashion sites (Style.com), blogs (Fashion Toast) and magazines (NYLON).
