MONTBLANC Legend Intense

MONT BLANC mens fragrance

As the song goes ‘this is a mans world’…  Well it is when a fragrance is this good and it’s created for a guy.  Montblanc’s new ‘Legend Intense’ is everything a man looks for in a fragrance (well I know my guy is crazy for this fabulous masculine perfume anyway).

My guy has been constantly saying, ever since his favourite cologne was discontinued 2 years ago, “there will never be a scent that’s as good as the one I used to have”.  The problem is, he was right (words I very rarely utter) he really did have the most amazing cologne and one that we thought we couldn’t replace.  Not only was it beautiful, it was unique (unlike those scents that you smell on every second guy, you know the ones).  So as you can imagine, trying to find him a replacement seemed near impossible, until now!

MONT BLANC mens fragranceMontblanc Legend Intense is literally the first fragrance that has immediately won him over within the first 2 seconds of lifting the cap (of course the fact that it’s Montblanc – synonymous with style & sophistication, will have helped).  So I figured, when you’re on to a good thing – share the love, should any of you be in the same frustrating position of finding ‘the perfect scent’ for your guy.

It’s generally a matter of style and a point of difference. Men want a fragrance that is both unforgettable and inimitable.  Montblanc Legend Intense is a modern and timeless interpretation of the original ‘Legend’ scent (Montblanc’s signature fragrance launched in 2011) on a spicier, warmer note with the contemporary style and discreet refinement of Montblanc.  Combining strength and contrast, this scent celebrates the seductive powder and charisma of the sophisticated man with an unforgettable signature.

MONT BLANC mens fragrance

Notes:
– Top: bergamot, pineapple, pepperwood, cardamom.
– Heart: jasmine, white cedarwood, pomarose, red apple.
– Bottom: oak moss, vibrant woods, dry amber, tonka beans.

The ‘Legend’ bottle design adds to a final impression of power and absolute refinement by covering the fragrance in an intense new look with a metallic, carbon-coloured body, finished with the famous Montblanc emblem on the cap.

Pricing:
100ml $130
50ml $100

Available in Farmers, department stores and selected pharmacies.

Jimmy Choo EXOTIC…

jimmy-choo-exotic-2014

No longer solely wearing Jimmy Choo’s on my feet – now my perfume matches my footwear!

Jimmy Choo has launched a new Limited Edition perfume aptly named EXOTIC.  It’s edgy, sexy and oh so glamorous.

jimmy-choo-exotic-2014

EXOTIC is a fruity floral perfume based around tiger orchids and patchouli, perfectly balanced by the tart, spicy notes of pink grapefruit and raspberry.  EXOTIC  has “an exuberant character, with touches of bright, frosty colours, like a refreshing sorbet made with red berries and the zest of pink grapefruit,” according to its creators.

Inspired by the iconic previous skins of Jimmy Choo collections, EXOTIC is a sexy, elegant fragrance reinterpreting the original perfume.  Imagined by Olivier Polge (who designed the first Jimmy Choo fragrance), Domitille Bertier and Veronique Nyberg, its floral composition leaves an imprint on skin which is as explosive as it is addictive.

jimmy-choo-exotic-2014

If you love a strong (yet not overpowering), woody, oriental fragrance, you are going to love Jimmy Choo’s EXOTIC. There’s something really quite intoxicating about this scent. It evokes long summer days and balmy evenings, transporting you to a dreamy tropical location.  It’s colourful yet confident, bold yet playful.

Top Notes: black currant sorbet & pink grapefruit.  Middle Notes: passion-flower & tiger orchid.  Base Notes: Raspberry and Patchouli

EXOTIC is available as an eau de toilette in 100ml ($150) and 60ml ($100) sizes.

If You’re A Makeup Artist Or Beauty Junkie You’ll Love This!

Sigma Dry n shape

Sigma have recently released a new product that has literally changed my life!  I’m not exaggerating – THIS IS AMAZING!!  If you’re a makeup artist (like moi) you’ll know just how damned important it is to regularly wash your brushes, and you’ll totally understand how time-consuming (and slightly frustrating) it is to not only properly wash them, but also ensure they dry in such a way that your brushes keep their shape perfectly.

Enter the new Sigma DRY’N SHAPE.  Holy crap, this is genius!  Not only does the DRY’N SHAPE maintain your makeup brushes original form, it dries them a lot faster too.

Sigma dry'n shape

The Sigma Beauty Dry’n Shape was specially designed to completely dry and shape your most dense brushes within 4 to 6 hours, guaranteed. The Dry’n Shape provides the necessary pressure to bristles to re-shape them while quickly and efficiently removing water from every bristle. It is an easy, quick, and effective way to quickly dry and shape your makeup brushes.  The storage facility is pretty darn cool too – no more laying your brushes out across a towel, or several paper towels, as the case may be.

Check out this super quick video to see exactly how it works – if you’re anything like me, you’ll be sold before the video ends!

SHOP IT HERE (enter my SIGMA DISCOUNT CODE MAR2014 to get 10% off when you checkout): www.sigmabeauty.com/Dry_n_Shape

Check Out This Video & Prepare To Be COLOR WOW’d…

prepare to be COLOR WOW'd

prepare to be COLOR WOW'd

I know this phrase is thrown around far too often in the beauty world – but if you colour your hair, or are starting to see grey’s coming through – this product WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Seriously, how many times have you looked at your hair and thought “arghh, I already need my roots done and yet I’ve only just had my hair coloured?”  Or (dare I say it) there are some greys starting to peek through!  Well, if getting to the salon every couple of weeks is just too hard (or perhaps a little out of your price range), then Color Wow Root Cover Up is going to be your new best friend.

prepare to be color wow'd

Color Wow’s Root Cover Up covers roots in just a matter of seconds and leaves hair looking completely natural. Now she may kill me for writing this, but I know first-hand this product works flawlessly, as I tried Color Wow on my sisters hair (yeah she has a few greys peeking through) and they disappeared right before my eyes as I applied it. It has the consistency of what I can best describe as eyeshadow and is applied in the same way (only obviously you’re putting it on the roots of your hair – not your eyes).  It’s a mineral powder with a unique oil-based, non-waxy formula that stays in place, creates multi-dimensional shine and looks totally natural, right up until you wash your hair.  Each shade (there are six shades in total) contains a number of colours and pigments to ensure natural blending with the tones of your hair. Because of its extreme portability and ease of use, it’s ideal for travel and last-minute, on-the-go fixes. And because it’s free of dyes, Root Cover Up is every pregnant woman’s solution to the dilemma of avoiding hair colour during pregnancy.

Check out Color Wow’s demo vid to see how Root Cover Up works…

I think Federici – CEO of Federici Brands summed it up perfectly when he said “Think about it like this, there were phones, then there were smart phones.  There were root retouchers and now there’s Color Wow”.

Color Wow Root Cover Up will be on counter at Farmers department stores from March 23rd 2014, retailing for $49.90.

You’re welcome!

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It’s Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More…

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

This month I’ve had some fabulous beauty products arrive at my door!  And I’ve noticed that many of these items are just a little bit different from the norm, so I thought a beauty round-up was in order to showcase some of the fabulous items that have recently launched, or are very soon to be launched.  From ‘best beauty gadget’ through to the ‘best gift with purchase’, check out some of the standout items in this month’s Simply The Best – Monthly Beauty Round-Up….

Best Beauty Gadget – Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi
I talked about this on social media recently, so if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you will already know what I think of the Scholl Express Pedi. Instant love! Many have been wondering – does this actually work? Is it worth the price tag? In short, YES!  Not only has it saved me a heap of money on spa visits, I’m amazed at how quick and easy it is to use (and if you have been tuning in to my social media platforms, you’ll see that my readers who have since bought this, love it just as much). Simply turn it on, guide it over your feet and let it work its magic.  You’re left with velvety smooth feet and there’s no pain or discomfort whatsoever.  Goodbye foot-file & expensive spa visits, hello Scholl Express Pedi.

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

Best GWP – Clinique’s Travel Bonus Gift With Purchase
Sure, the Clinique ‘Travel’ Bonus Gift With Purchase promotion doesn’t start until March, but hey, what good is hearing about a fabulous promotion, when its ended right?  From 12th March through to 30th March you get the best of Clinique in an 8 piece gift valued at RRP$151.00 with any purchase of two or more Clinique items (for a limited time) at Life Pharmacy & selected Unichem Pharmacies!  This GWP has to be THE best value with all the products you get, and they’re all travel-size, making them the perfect carry-on companion. Whether it’s for your overnight bag, or travelling overseas, this super-cute cosmetic bag, crammed full of fabulous Clinique goodies is an amazing bonus gift with purchase.  Admittedly I’ve already used a couple of these goodies (especially the Chubby Stick Lip Balm – in Roomiest Rose!), but I have saved a few for my travel case too.  Here’s what you can expect to receive when you purchase any two or more Clinique products: Moisture Surge Face Spray (30ml), Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand cream SPF15 (30ml), Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser (30ml), Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief (15ml), Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream (5ml), High Impact Waterproof Mascara Black (3.9ml), Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm – Roomiest Rose (1.2g), Cosmetics Bag.

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

Best Surgery-Free Facelift – Murad Rapid Collagen Infusion
Part of their award-winning Age Reform range, ‘Rapid Collagen Infusion’ provides dramatic and immediate results.  Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in only 2 hours!! (Oh, and this has to be the first face cream, created to erase the signs of aging, that you can apply to the delicate area directly under the eye). Using their famous RepleniCell Technology, along with Winged Kelp (to smooth skin by assisting with collagen production) and Murad’s Cellular Hydro-Lock containing Apple and Lentil Seed Extract (which works to plump skin and help smooth fine lines and wrinkles) Murad has created a patented formula that promotes natural collagen and elastin production.  In a nutshell – Murad’s Rapid Collagen Infusion has all the benefits of a dermal filler with no downtime, the results of an eye-lift, sans the scalpel. Available exclusively at Caci nationwide.

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

Best Body Exfoliator – WELEDA Birch Body Scrub
I’ve chosen WELEDA’s Birch Body Scrub as ‘best body exfoliator’ as not only does it improve the overall appearance of skin, it’s also bursting with the cellulite-blasting natural goodness of Birch.  The refreshing combination of Nature certified ingredients gently exfoliates and smooths skin, assisting in cellulite reduction. And it’s not a bad price tag either, at $19.90 – this is a great buy! Of course, as with all WELEDA products, it smells so clean, natural and good enough to eat! (not that I eat it, I honestly don’t) but their products always smell just so darn delicious. Soft, radiant, healthy, glowing skin?  Yes please!

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

Best Colostrum Based Skincare – theCream
Building on the overwhelming success of their Colostrum based mens & womans skincare, theCream (Nature’s Superfood for Skin) have recently launched five new additions to their already stellar lineup of skincare. If you’re not familiar with theCream – you can read all about it here in one of my earlier posts (I have been an avid user for quite some time).  In line with their philosophy of delivering real living skincare, 100% natural with 0% bull, all formulations contain no chemicals, petrochemicals, alcohol, parabens, preservatives, fillers or added water. New to theCream’s range: theCream Age Defying Eye Serum ($69), theCream Moisturizing Lip Cream ($29), theCream Concentrated Repair Cream ($45), theCream Moisturizing Age Repair Hand Cream ($45), theCream Moisturizing Anti-aging Conditioning Cream ($45).  In addition to expanding the range, two revolutionary actives have been combined (Defensil Plus & DermCom), together with the Colostrum base, delivering exceptional results.  The new additions to theCream’s range have been globally launched here in New Zealand through Health 2000 stores.  For more information head to: www.health2000.co.nz

SIMPLY THE BEST!! It's Our February Beauty Round-Up: Best Beauty Invention, Best GWP, Best Lotions, Potions & More...

So that’s it for February’s ‘best in beauty monthly round-up’.  I can’t wait to see what’s in store for March.

New YouTube Video – Melbourne Shopping Haul: Zara, Victoria Secret, Steve Madden, vintage finds & more…

Youtube video Melbourne Shopping haul

Youtube video Melbourne Shopping haul

I was very recently flown to Melbourne for a “Like A Boss” experience at the 2014 Big Day Out (I know, lucky right?!)  But let’s be honest, there’s no way I was going to visit Australia without shopping up a storm, and shop up a storm I did! I’ve amassed quite a haul!

I love watching other people’s ‘haul’ videos, so I thought why not show you what I bought over in Melbourne via my own haul video.  There’s everything from Victoria Secret to Zara, Steve Madden to Sportsgirl, a few cool vintage finds, plus a whole lot more.  So, grab a cup of tea (or maybe a cheeky vino) and get comfy coz its gonna be a long one (what can I say, I bought a lot of stuff!).

Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel and hit ‘thumbs up’ to let me know you want to see more haul videos.

ARTDECO & SHISEIDO have both launched new 2014 makeup collections and I’ve been lucky enough to get an advanced preview of both.  So I thought why not film a video featuring these two new exciting collections, so that you can get an advanced preview too!  The ARTDECO collection is in-store now (this week) and the SHISEIDO collection will be in-store in March.

ARTDECO has released their new ‘Color & Art Collection’ where beauty meets art.  The colours featured in this new collection are all inspired by fashion illustrator Julia Pelzer.  Julia – the creative vision behind this bright, bold and scorching hot range (who’s freehand motifs have graced the pages of Elle, Glamour and Vogue Magazines) created a range of exciting colours and imaginative packaging in a perfect combination of art and beauty.  The collection features fabulous eye-popping new eyeshadow, liquid liner, blusher, mascara, lip & nail colour shades, all of which will make your heart skip a beat!

SHISEIDO released their new 2014 makeup collection which features a multi-use Sheer Eye-Zone Corrector (this magical pen also works as an illuminator and skin perfector), the Face Color Enhancing Trio (each palette has three well-thought-out shades that enable you to achieve a glowing & lively impression, all whilst sculpting and enhancing – sure to be a huge hit in 2014).  There’s also a fabulous Shimmering Cream Eye Color range (formulated with 3D Jewel Powders) and 2 new lip products – Lacquer Gloss and Lacquer Rouge.

If you like this video, hitting the ‘subscribe’ button on my YouTube Channel is a sure-fire way to let me know you’d like me to feature more ‘advanced preview’ beauty videos 🙂  You can click through and subscribe to my YouTube channel here: YouTube/GurlinterruptedNZ (oh, and my next video will be a huge ‘HAUL’ video, featuring everything I got when I was in Melbourne last week, so make sure you subscribe to my channel to be notified as soon this video goes live – it’s gonna be a biggie!)
