Essie is probably my favorite nail polish brand, every single season they come out with brand new shades that I MUST HAVE! Fall 2010 is no different. Essie’s new fall 2010 collection embodies the essence of these eclectic fashions with autumnal pops of color in six stunning new shades (Stitches, Limited Addiction, Sew Psyched, Merino Cool, Velvet Voyeur and Little Brown Dress) that are a perfect match to fall’s exquisitely refined accessories and finely tailored ensembles.


“This fall, designers are mixing it up, combining sheer fabric with leather along with lingerie as outer wear in deep, muted tones and bold color palettes which is very alluring,” explains Essie Weingarten, Founder/President of essie. “I drew inspiration from the range of elegant, sanguine hues and camouflage tones.”

Edgy Man

Developed for the fashion-forward man, Express Honor reflects the brand’s sexy, alluring persona. Confident and bold, the raw fragrance is inspired by a scene that’s underground swank, a city that’s no-rules cool and a life that never sleeps.

A watery, fresh and aromatic scent, Honor blends energizing top notes of fresh water accord, peppermint and basil, leading to a heart of grapefruit, fig and green ivy. The smoldering fragrance dries down to a base of musk, vetiver and a hint of vanilla.

Housed in an edgy, flask-shaped silver bottle emblazoned with Express’s signature lion logo, Honor captures big-city cool, downtown edge and up-all-night swagger.

Manly Man

Kenzo introduces a new aromatic woody fragrance, with an intense and vibrant trail. The energy of fresh, fusing leaves, mint and basil, mingles with the power of woody notes of vetiver and Atlas cedar.
The fragrance of a free spirit who draws his strength from nature, between sky and earth.
lively start: mint, basil
vibrant heart: Madagascar black pepper, rosemary
intense base: Atlas cedar wood, vetiver

The Tough Guy


The scent represents the qualities of the brave, symbolized by a fist that tells several stories: facing forward, the fist evokes power and energy; upright, it stands for self-affirmation; raised, it signifies victory, success and engagement. The powerful, provocative scent blends lemon blossom, mandarin, amber and ebony wood for a fresh fragrance that your tough guy will love.

Mysteriously Exotic

 Shy & Quiet
An entire organic rose harvest was purchased to create this one-of-a-kind exclusive fragrance. Each year, Stella McCartney reinvents her namesake fragrance with lush new notes, creating a limited-edition take on her iconic rose scent. In keeping with tradition, the designer introduces Sheer Stella, an organic rose version of the classic Stella fragrance developed exclusively for 2010.


Fresh, natural top notes of Green Apple, Frosted Lemon and Bulgarian Rose open a romantic heart of Celestial Rose, Rose Absolute, and Iranian Organic Rose, grounded by a base of warm, sensual Amber.

 Hopeless Romantic


The ultimate elegant and confident scent, Faith by Faith Hill is a sparkling bouquet with dimension and depth, just like the woman who wears it. With dazzling top notes of crisp pear and pink peony, romantic middle notes of southern magnolia, jasmine and gardenia, and seductive bottom notes of cashmere musk and vetiver, this fragrance is sure to mesmerize and entrance your newest beau.

Chad Hayduk, Co-Founder of Three Custom Color Specialists brings you his Do’s & Don’ts for creating a warm, sun-kissed glow that will last all winter.

 Do Know Your Skin Tone.  Cool for rosey-toned skin and Warm for golden-toned skin, plus Three Custom Color Specialists has bronzers available in those two shades, cool and warm making everything easy. 

Don't go Orange! Wearing the wrong shade of bronzer can lead to orangey-looking results.

 Do Think application.  Bronzers look best when applied sparingly where the sun would naturally hit you. Use a fluffy Face Powder Brush to apply bronzer on the high points of the face – the forehead, nose, and cheeks. If you prefer a crème formulation for more control, use a sponge or your fingertips to apply Bronze Crème to Powder Blush (a sunny, shimmering bronze designed with Celebrity Makeup Artist Matin) and don’t forget to blend, blend, blend!
