I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I do it all the time, and sometimes those books are really good. That’s why I’m holding out hope that Van Cleef & Arpels’ latest fragrance, Féerie, smells wonderful, because I sure do love the bottle. I’ll be honest. The delicate fairy perched atop a silver twig is what did it for me. For those of you who are more interested in what’s inside the bottle, expect top notes of violet, black currant, and Italian mandarin. Féerie is $110 to $150, and it’s available at Neiman Marcus.
Not me. I love Stila products. And even though the economy stinks, I love Stila even more for helping us to get our cosmetic fix by offering free shipping and a 20% discount on any web site orders of $30 or more from now until December 16. It’s the perfect time to get some holiday shopping done without breaking the bank. Just go to www.stilacosmetics.com and use code ECYX12 when checking out.
You may have seen the Soap & Glory display at Target (god I love Target), and if you have, you know that this company is campy, super fun, and oh-so-affordable. Today I’ve got Clean of England Spa Body Wash and Big Butter Body Butter. The former has a yummy, unisex, subtle bergamont and mandarin scent; the latter is scented with lemon, flowers, and orange. If you love it, you can buy these products as a gift set in a darling spa bag for just $29.99. E-mail me to enter and I’ll notify the winner on Monday. Good luck! Oh, and props to John Gay for his tricked out Friday Giveaway photo!
