Beauty Swellness: Ralph Lauren Big Pony fragrances for women x Essie

A fragrance and nail polish (and nail art!) collab? Yes, you’ve got this beauty lover’s attention.

Ralph Lauren’s collaborated with Essie to create four exclusive nail polishes for the RL collection of Big Pony fragrances for women.. There’s four fragrance personalities: sporty, sensual, free-spirited and stylish — each in bright coloured bottles and the Essie polishes matches each shade.

all four nail looks

And taking it to another level, Essie Canada also had their lead nail artist, the lovely Rita Remark,create custom nail art looks for each personality. For a tutorial on creating the sensual nail look (my fave of the four) clickon over to Fashion Magazine. Fragrance-wise, though, the sporty #1 is calling my name. I don’t think of myself as sporty, but the freshness of the scent seems just right for spring. Spring does make me want to be sporty, come to think of it.

In stores now, each set comes includes a 50-mL fragrance and matching Essie polish in a drawstring bag ($47 each at the Bay and Sears). In Quebec (my hometown province, what, what!), a the bag includes a 30-mL fragrancem, a 50-mL body mist and the matching polish ($67 each exclusively at Jean Coutu).

What personality are you? Sporty, sensual, free-spirited or stylish? And does your fragrance preference match your nail art style choicer?

Beauty Swellness: The new Marni fragrance

Marni fragrance

What I’ve been wearing…

The new Marni fragrance, which I got to learn about weeks and weeks ago but only now am able to post about (media embargo til the end of last week and all!).

The top notes are spicy (including pink peppercorn, ginger and bergamot) and at its heart, rose, cinnamon bark and cardamom, while woodsy notes complete the fragrance. It’s eclectic yet also classic.

The polka dotted bottle, stout with a red topper, stands out, much like the designer’s covetable jewelry. And how cute is the Huggy Doll that comes with the purse spray? (I so regret not buying a Marni doll necklace when I saw them at the outlet outside London in the fall…Why didn’t I buy it? I do not know. Silly, silly me.).

Marni fragrance collection available at Holt Renfrew (from $52 for the Shower Gel to $175 for the 120 mL Eau de Parfum).

Flower power

Three of my favourite florals this spring:

Tommy floral dress, $129. Love the bold, bright blooms.

Banana Republic Wildbloom, $60. A fresh, fruity floral (notes include pink grapefruit, pear and camellia) that’s really easy to wear every day.

Ricardo Cuisine Rose Shaped Cake Cups, $6.99. Here’s one of the lavender rose cakes I baked this weekend–yummified and oh so pretty.
