Innately Chic.
Chloé’s newly unveiled signature scent undoubtably captures the innately chic, confident, and free spirited sensibility of the entrancingly feminine. While continuing to allure, Robertet perfumers, Michel Almairac and Almandine Marie, infused this luxurious scent with iconic Chloé notes of rose petals, enhanced by lychee, freesia, pink peony, sensuous magnolia and lily of the valley. Chloé fuses classic elements with fresh ideas and an airy sweetness accented with the most perfect woody strength. The honey notes in this gorgeously reinvented yet warmly reminiscent fragrance bring smoothness and comfort, while cedarwood and amber inspire a seductive and ever so cogent spiritedness.
The beautiful Chloé flacon is the creation of Patrick Veillet, who drew on the intricate detail of the sleeve of a Chloé blouse as the inspiration for the delicately pleated glass walls of the square flacon. The oval cap plays off the strong lines while the silver collar adds a nostalgic feel. Even the finishing touch of a loosely knotted petal-coloured ribbon speaks to the definitive elegance and élan of The House of Chloé.
The essential Chloé Fragrance Collection:
- Eau De Parfum 30 ml
- Eau De Parfum 50 ml
- Eau De Parfum 75 ml
- Perfumed Body Lotion 200 ml
- Perfumed Shower Gel 200 ml
Just divine!

The Miraculous Magic Of Beautiful Blossoms.
The Body Shop treats us, once again, to the magical miracles of nature as harnessed in the new Moringa Bath & Body range. The Moringa Bath & Body range is The Body Shop’s newest offering and the first floral member across their vast and considerate product array. This fragrant and highly moisturizing collection consists of 6 products featuring Moringa seed oil.
“First used in Ayurvedic medicine some 4,000 years ago, Moringa seed oil comes from the Moringa tree, which is also known as the “miracle tree” due to its wide variety of beneficial uses. The Moringa tree provides 7 times the Vitamin C in oranges, 4 times the calcium and 2 times the protein in milk, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrots and 3 times the potassium as bananas. Moringa seed oil contains high levels of oleic acid, which is a fatty acid that helps to restore the skin’s moisture levels, protects against drying and keeps the skin feeling soft and smooth. The oil was highly treasured by the ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian civilizations for use in protecting skin and making perfume. It was so good, that they even used it to create their own skin-smoothing product.”
Furthermore, according to folks at The Body Shop, they just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use the miraculously moisturizing and nourishing benefits found in Moringa seed oil, hence the Moringa Bath & Body range was born. The Body Shop uses only the finest Community Trade Moringa seed oil and fragrance from the Moringa tree blossoms, as well as other delectably moisturizing and protective Community Trade ingredients in the new range. By choosing Community Trade ingredients, the customer is contributing to a worldwide program that works to support livelihoods for marginalized communities in more than 20 countries across the globe. Gosh, we love that!

Okay…Now This Is Kind Of Fun!
L’Oréal Professionnel introduced four new Play Ball sprays to their techno-inspired, ergonomically designed, sensorial styling portfolio. Even though all the new Play Ball sprays are pretty fab, Beauty Marked! is especially smitten with the new Soda Sparkler spray by L’Oréal Professionnel. Now this bit of fun delivers a detectible shine that’s gorgeously paired with an uber finely-milled sparkle that can be rocked both day and night. Soda Sparkler is sure to tantalize your tresses (and your fans) with this glamorously glittery cocktail that delivers a natural hold and a defined texture.
The other MVPs in this game are:
- Cosmo Spritzer An extra-strong hold spray used to combat frizz and to deliver a smooth, shiny and secure style.
- Silky Sunrise A spray-on-serum for smoothness, softness, shine, and a silky texture.
- Texture Tonic A texturizing spray for hold and volume that gives that “just left the beach” look.
The entire Play Ball team is available from L’Oréal Professionnel Salons and select retailers nationwide. The game is definitely on now.

It’s Only Books…
Surely it’s only books we shouldn’t judge by their cover, right? If not, you’ll have to forgive me this one indiscretion, because the newest Badgley Mischka fragrance, Fleurs De Nuit, in its ever so couture and utterly gorgeous bottle, absolutely and with great fashionability, translates to the scintillatingly sumptuous scent inside.
Badgley Mischka’s Fleurs De Nuit is an en trend white floral infused with nuances of green notes, fruits, and amber. Fleurs De Nuit, by Badgley Mischka, opens the show with fresh floral scents of magnolia, quince blossoms, and bergamot. The fragrance then moves onto the heart notes which are exquisitely reminiscent of jasmine, white peach, and orange blossom. The finale leaves one languidly luxuriating in the regal dry down of its woody amber scent. Mmm…
Fleurs De Nuit by Badgley Mischka is truly a beautiful fragrance for all seasons (not to mention totally fabulous enough to wear) and on counter now.
