Check out the HUGO RED for men

RED MEANS STOP. Fronting the advertisements of HUGO BOSS's new scent HUGO Red is Hollywood A-lister Jared Leto. What does HUGO BOSS say about the fragrance?

A dynamic fragrance full of hot and cold tension daring you to be unique.

2013 also marks the 20th anniversary of HUGO, a brand that has always striven to challenge traditional rules and ideals. And I kinda think the way the HUGO RED bottle really stands out.

The Red bottle is coated in a bright scarlet thermochromic paint which changes color when it's touched and the waterbottle-style flask also sports a plastic black stopper for a youthful finish.

The HUGO Red fragrance is built around two contrasting accords: the ‘Solid Chill’ accord and the ‘Liquid Heat’ accord, which reflect the different facets of cold and hot metal.

The ‘Solid Chill’ accord combines grapefruit in the top note with rhubarb in the heart note to create a bitter fresh accord with a metallic accent that simulates the underlying strength of solid metal. While the ‘Liquid Heat’ accord is characterized by cedarwood and hot amber that blend together in the dry-down to convey the heat and fluidity of red-hot metal.

I gave this to my boyfriend and I am really liking the scent on him. It's very masculine and somewhat unique. It's scent is fresh and alluring. Try it in-stores at HUGO BOSS counters :)

Review: September Bellabox

The kind folks at Bellabox is extremely sweet to send me a box a month. And I know beauty boxes like these are of high interest to a lot of people in Singapore, seeing how it's a upward trend. So here I am again, sharing with you what's in my September box!

It's not easy being the folks behind these beauty boxes. People can complain about so many things. The delivery, the delivery timing, the items in the box..., etc.

This month, unlike previous months where there's always an overflow of products, there are only 5 items in the box. The theme is "Out with the Old...In with the New". You can check it out here.

Here they are:

Vichy Bi-White Med Deep Corrective Whitening Lotion (30ml)
I am a big fan of VICHY's products. And I've tried this whitening lotion before as well. Since this came in the box, I am happy that I find myself with a travel sized bottle that I can bring around!

Celmonze Premium Facial Ampoule (2ml, full size)
For restoring skin's youth and vigor, anti aging and great as a base for makeup. For those who don't know, ampoules are small glass cylinders of highly concentrated essence.

Rimmel Volume Flash Eyeliner (full size)
This eyeliner has a stiff felt tip which is great in helping to draw on a lines which are as thick or as thin as you like. I haven't really tried this out yet so I don't know about how smudge-proof or whether it's long-lasting. There has been a lot of complaints about how this product was manufactured 2 years ago (11-11-2009). But through Bellabox, Rimmel has assured us that this is the same product selling in Watsons and an unopened product's shelf life is 5 years.

Lifecella Essence Sheet Mask (1 piece)
For skin that is patchy, freckled, dull & spotty, the Toumei-hada essence sheet mask is it. It blocks melanin production for effective whitening and helps improves elasticity in skin with the marine-derived collagen. This mask is soaked in rich essence (17 ml per mask).

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Sample (1.2ml)
A blend of sophisticated and sweet: vanilla, honeysuckle and sandalwood. It's a really nice scent.

**

And... that's all. A perfume sample, a mask, a full size eyeliner, a 30ml lotion, and a 2ml ampoule.

I got to say that I have to agree with most of the other receivers of the September Bellabox that this month's contents aren't really impressive. I recall August's box to be EXCEPTIONALLY good though. I guess there's ups and downs and this month, mostly down.

Well, that's all I have for you today. Before I sign off, do join the rest of the beauty junkies here at Bellabox's Facebook Fanpage! :)

DKNY Eau So Intense: Smell as delicious as apples!

In many parts of the world, it’s known simply as The Apple: Le Pomme, La Manzana, Ping Guo, Ringo, La Mela, Der Apfel... but fans of DKNY's popular "Be Delicious" fragrance would be happy to note that DKNY has amped up the concentration of the ingredients and presents to you it's most tempting iteration yet - the Delicious Eau So Intense Collection.

Be Delicious Eau So Intense: The original structure & balance is maintained. DKNY simply amplified its strength in the fragrance to give it a higher concentration so it has more overall impact both on top and in wear so your Be Delicious is longer lasting!
Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense: DKNY enhanced Fresh Blossom by bringing the Rose and Muget notes to the forefront of the floral bouquet as the top notes, changing the overall structure of the fragrance while keeping the core elements alive.

And I have to share some photos of the lovely venue where the launch was held:

Such a lovely bundle specially prepared for us by DKNY!

DKNY Eau So Intense

The location was at Barracks@House. We were seated inside this green house with aircon and flowers and plants all around. And DKNY brought so many green and red apples along with them to decor the place! :) Even the table mats & drinks were apple-themed!!

And then there was Sheilla Lee, fellow MFP Blogger :D !

DKNY Eau So Intense

Thanks DKNY for a lovely event! :)

DKNY Eau So Intense

Globally, over 4 million DKNY Delicious apples are sold a year. That is over 10,000 bottles a day, 6-7 every minute. Every 10 seconds, someone, somewhere, picks a Be Delicious apple off of the shelves and takes a little slice of New York’s vibrant, sophisticated, optimistic spirit home. And now I have one too!

THE DELICIOUS EAU SO INTENSE COLLECTION

Be Delicious Eau so Intense EDP 50ml $102, 100ml $135

Be Delicious was the first to be derived from an apple extract, which was then layered with grapefruit, magnolia, sandalwood and white amber. A delectable new fragrance that is the pick of the crop, Be Delicious Eau So Intense is a higher concentration of our classic Be Delicious fragrance accentuating the key apple note—resulting in a more intoxicating scent that resembles the first bite of a fresh picked apple.

Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense EDP 50ml $102, 100ml $135

Rose and lily of the valley notes get more attention in the new Fresh Blossom Eau So Intense. The once-delicate floral, inspired by the fragile but potent blooms on an apple tree, made more nuanced by ramping up the concentration of two of the most celebrated notes in perfumery. The result is a more textural, intense floral bouquet that is long lasting and fresh.

Delicious Eau so Intense Collection, will be available exclusively at Metro Paragon from 17 August to 23 August, and islandwide from 24 August 2012. Join DKNY fragrances on Facebook!
