Pink, but not for breast cancer

Lucire beauty

October is a month where we see a lot of pink, to help promote breast cancer awareness. One exception is this débutante from Mariah Carey, a new fragrance called Luscious Pink. It’ll be available for a lot longer, of course. High notes feature Sicilian bergamot, Ocean Breeze accord and Bellini accord. The heart sees Tahitian tiare petals, delicate lilly of the valley and pink peony blended together. The basenotes feature sun-kissed woods wrapped in white musk. Body lotion from NZ$49, eau de toilette (beginning at 30 ml) from NZ$72.

Keep your lips moisturized

Moisturization seems to be a big theme in lipsticks this year—Elizabeth Arden emphasizes it with its Color Intrigue Effects lipstick, along with long wear. It claims that the lipstick won’t feather or bleed and that it has a high refractive index—it reflects light better. At NZ$43.
