Leslie Blodgett Launches Perfume Diaries.

/

Everyone's favorite mineral makeup maven and creator of Bare Escentuals, Leslie Blodgett, has decided to chronicle her life and travels with scent. Follow along with Leslie in her Perfume Diaries, as she launches her first foray into fragrance with her initial entry, Bare Skin.

Bare Skin is reminiscent of an experience during a trip Leslie took to Mexico.

Leslie said:

When I have an experience, I like to have a scent behind it. Bare Skin, which sis what Mexico reminds me of, is the way you feel when the sun is beating down on you during the day, but then you go out at night and you're still sizzling from the warmth of the day which mingles with the night air and the music.

Exclusive to Sephora, Bare Skin is a very warm, clean and soft, yet sensual fragrance. I know I am the worst at describing scents, but that is the feeling I get when taking in Bare Skin.

Discover Bare Skin:

  • Eau de Parfum - $55
  • Solid Perfume Compact - $35
  • Perfumed Body Cream - $30

Bare Skin is available as a special preview to Sephora Beauty Insiders through the end of the month, when it becomes available to all, at Sephora in November. Leslies' next fragrance journey will begin in Spring, 2010.

I simply cannot get enough of the magnificent beauty from Marc Jacobs. Housing his latest fragrance Lola, these bottles are nothing short of perfume bottle porn. I need them. In both sizes. To put on my mantle for all of my friends to see. And drool over.

A modern free spirit with an irresistible attitude. Lola is an intoxicating swirl of rich layers, wrapping the skin in sensuous florals blooming with a signature note of fuchsia peony. Playfully alluring and irresistibly tempting.

They are even more beautiful in person, my friends. I promise. The perfume nor the bottle will disappoint.

Lola Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum comes in two sizes, 1.7 oz. for $65 or 3.4 oz. for $85. There is also a shower gel, body lotion and body cream available as well. Shop at Nordstrom for the best selection.
