Vera Wang Anniversary Fragrance
The name Vera Wang is practically synonymous with the word “wedding”, thanks to the her most-coveted bridal designs. So it makes total sense that the brand has launched a fragrance simply named “Anniversary” to celebrate their 20 years of jaw-droppingly beautiful creations.
Vera Wang Anniversary fragrance is extremely romantic, but definitely in a mature way. While some “romantic” scents have an air of innocense, Anniversary by Vera Wang projects sophistication. The notes combined in this beautiful polished glass bottle were clearly combined to drive home the point: 20 years, and we’re still madly in love!
Notes include Sicilian bergamot, red apple leaves, mandarin oil, white gardenia, rose absolute, orange flowers, golden amber crystals and warm cedarwood.
Note to clueless men in search of a gift: YES, this is a fantastic choice for an anniversary present!
Note to clueless women in search of attracting a man: YES, this scent includes notes of AMBER and men LOVE AMBER! (Or, at least in my humble opinion).
Eau de Parfum: 1.7fl oz/50mL $72
Eau de Parfum: 3.4fl oz/100mL $92
Shimmer Rollerball: .34 fl oz/10mL $25

Killer Heat by Brenda Novak
Killer Heat by Brenda Novak crossed my desk due to the corresponding name-sake lipgloss launched by 3 custom color specialists. Did you miss her last book? Had you purchased Killer Heat it when I first posted about the book’s release in September, you would have scored a free gloss!
I hadn’t read a book from cover to cover in 2 years… for real. Since the birth of my second child, I simply have limited free time. I never considered myself a “chick-lit” type, but the truth is that Brenda Novak’s Killer Heat is an addictive page turner, and above all else is a suspenseful murder mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the bitter end.
The relationship between protagonists Francesca and Jonah was interesting, but it was the motley crew of antagonists–with names like Butch, Champ and Paris–that really piqued my interest. I devoured this book in two days flat.

Ring It In: Tarte Holiday 2010

This year’s version is named Ring It In, and contains three shades of their legendary cheek stain in travel-friendly sizes and universally flattering shades.
This year’s added bonus is the outrageous floral cocktail ring that adjusts to fit virtually any finger!
Ring It In Swatches (from left to right): Vivid– medium pink, Luster– a shimmery peachy bronze, Flawless– a subtle ballerina-slipper pink.
