Minuit Enchanté is one of the new limited edition fragrances for women out in the market today. The fragrance is by the creation of Laura Mercier, a popular French make-up artist who specializes on cosmetic lines.

The limited edition Minuit Enchanté Eau de Parfum is a flanker to the original Nuit Enchantées Eau de Parfum. But unlike Nuit Enchantées which provides a scent resembling the moments of the night with its deep incense and rare wood accords, the fragrance of Minuit Enchanté is deeper, darker and more mysterious. Formulated with more concentration than Nuit Enchantées, Minuit Enchanté gives the wearer a stronger scent.

Highly concentrated with the finest, purest and the most luxurious ingredients, the scent of Minuit Enchanté gives the wearer the touch of vintage perfumery where all the different fragrance notes seamlessly blend with one another. With the top notes of juniper, mace, ginger, clove buds, and pimento berry, the wearer’s senses can be greatly aroused. As for its heart notes, tuberose, rose absolue, jasmine absolue and peach nectar are used. The base notes of pure vanilla absolue, musks, labdanum oil, benzoin resin, amber, myrrh, exotic guaiacwood, cedarwood, sandalwood and agarwood accords account for the dry bottom feel of the fragrance.

Contained in a 50 ml bottle, Minuit Enchanté is available at Nordstorm. The fragrance is currently priced at $90 per bottle.

As Laura Mercier’s expertise falls under cosmetic products, her catalog includes a complete range of make-ups, skin care products, moisturizers, scrubs, and body cleansers. Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette fragrances, such as Minuit Enchanté, are offered to be inclusive of body and bath products.

Aside from Minuit Enchanté, Laura Mercier offers the fragrances of Eau de Lune, L’Heure Magique, Neroli, Eau de Toilettes in the scents of Almond Coconut, Crème Brulée, Marrons Glaces, Tarte au Citron and Vanille Gourmande.

Couture Couture, a perfume from Juicy Couture casual wear line, is a scent for the "girly girls". As described by many who are using the perfume, it smells like something Barbie might wear.

This perfume created by Harry Fremont, is the first perfume launched by Juicy Couture and it features watermelon, mandarin, pink passionfruit, marigold, African orange flower, green apple, water hyacinth, crushed leaves, tuberose absolute, wild rose, princess lily, caramel crème brulée, vanilla, precious woods, sandal wood, honeysuckle and patchoulli. As you can guess with its ingredients, Couture Couture is about the sweet, fruity scent. After a while, as the perfume dries down, this certain sweetness is taken over by the scent of the water hyacinth combining with the vague touch of green. Let it stay for a longer time and the scent would be of white floral with caramel and vanilla touches.

Using the standards for Eau de Parfum concentration, Couture Couture's base is rather light. The perfume is formulated in tones which are more cool than warm giving it something to go against the sweetness of the scent.

Juicy Couture is a popular fashion house founded by designers Gele Nesh Taylor and Pamela Skaist Levy. Starting from designing women's clothing, the line extended to a wider range of apparel, then to perfumes. Their first venture was with Juicy Couture Perfume in 2006. Viva la Juicy, Juicy Girl, Frosty Couture Shimmering Eau de Parfum, Eau de Couture and Dirty English for Men are the line's other fragrances. All of these are created by Harry Fermont. Couture Couture for women is Juicy Couture's newest perfume offering this 2009.

Bright, sweet, perky and young, just like something Barbie might wear. If you perfumes like Miss Dior Cherie, Couture Couture is something that might appeal to you. It is the scent you need if you are going for the girly, flirtatious, and romantic aura.

Not everyone is gifted with natural rosy cheeks that simply glow with pinkish tint. Even if you are blessed to have them, losing the face's natural glow because of the many factors that come into play such as stress and pollution. But, thanks to makeup, women who wish to regain youthfulness can bring back the glow onto their faces once more with just a few strokes of blushes there and there. One of the most important makeup tools in this beauty routine are blush ons.

Blush ons, aside from providing a pinkish appeal back to one's cheekbones, help cover up some of the unwanted spots on the face. Blush ons remove the tired and stressed appeal on one's face and replace it with a more refreshed look. If you can notice it, applying blush ons not only beautifies a person's cheeks but also brings out the sparkle of the eyes.

Different types of blush ons are available on market. They are present in different shades. Color is the most important thing to consider when choosing which one to apply on your face. You should pick the one which best replicates the natural glow or blush of your face. Pinching your cheeks to get a natural occurring blush is a trick to know how pink your cheeks can get. Use that shade as basis on how red or pink you want your blush on to be.
Blush ons come in different textures and product presentation too. Picking out the right kind of blush is vital in order to give your face the best look. Powder blush is the most common type of blush to be encountered on market and is the simplest one to apply. Almost anyone with any skin type can wear this type of blush on. Powder blush ons last longer on skin compared to other types of blush ons. The one commonly used by professional makeup artists is the cream blushes. This type contains moisturizers making it suitable for those who have dry skin. Gel blushes are another type and are recommended for normal skin types. Applying it and distributing over your face can be easily done with your fingertips.

Having that certain glow is not impossible to achieve even with a week loaded with work and stress. Sometimes, it all comes down to having the right makeup tool to give you the youthful look you long for.

Mineral Cosmetics have been used over centuries now. Mineral cosmetics are made from colored minerals such as mica, titanium oxide, ultramarine & zinc combined with other natural ingredients. These cosmetics come in all forms from foundation, bronzers, veils, blushes, lipstick to eye makeup. A wide variety of them is available and there is certainly something for everyone.
As previously mentioned, the use of mineral cosmetics have been for years. It started with the Egyptians, who treated fashion and beauty with high devotion. They were resourceful enough to make cosmetic products from the available minerals of different colors in their lands. They collected these minerals and ground up into fine powders to be used as eye shadows and blushes. Using fingers or kohl pencils, the early Egyptians applied these mineral beauty wonders.
Application of mineral cosmetics come with a lot of benefits. First of the list is their state of being natural. Mineral cosmetics are proven to be healthy for the eyes as they tend to give protection against the harmful rays of the sun. The natural ingredients such as natural oils and fats also protect the skin from harsh elements.

Natural powders do not clog pores unlike chemically formulated chemicals. Chemicals found in cosmetic products tend to go deep in the pores especially when not properly removed from the face at the end of the day. This causes skin darkening, skin irritation and other problems.

Mineral cosmetics stay longer on the face which eliminates the need to reapply often. Along with that, they provide a more natural feel while efficiently hiding blemishes and other facial imperfections.

Your color choice basically comes up as the main consideration in choosing the right mineral cosmetics. What you need to take a close look in are the cosmetic brushes. It is advisable to use separate brush for each type of mineral cosmetic. For blending mineral powder makeup, over sized brushes tend to work best with their large, light strokes. Achieving your desired color tone is going to be as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Skin type bears no boundaries with mineral cosmetics as they are good for all skin types, skin tones and are perfect for women of all ages.
