Fashion designer Aiisha Ramadan just launched her new Spring Summer 2012 collection : le pouvoir de la poudre (the power of powder). I posted this video for many reasons…1) the collection is gorgeous, 2) I LOVE posting about Dubai-based designers 3) I’m a big fan of Tala Samman www.myfashdiary.com and 4) my good friend Samira Olfat from www.fabprofashional.blogspot.com did the makeup for this video. Check out this amazing video of Aiisha Couture:

Michael Kors is definitely one of my favorite designers but also one of my favorite people. I love him, love his style, love his thoughts on things and ooooohhh I love his collections. Check out this interview he did for net-a-porter:

Kristin Chenoweth had a rather peculiar interview on David Letterman…topic of choice “lashes taken from cadavres”. Hmm ok so I love long lashes and wishhh my lashes were longer (even though they’re pretty long to begin with). When it comes the lashes, the longer the better and girls are going out of their way to find different solutions to make that happen whether its extra lengthening mascaras, fake lashes…and now REAL lash extensions curtesy of cadavres! Perhaps thats a bit too far?

Calvin Klein Beauty evokes the ultimate power of femininity and sophistication, while capturing the spirit of a woman who is beautiful from the inside out, with an aura that radiates.Bringing the neo-lily to life, ambrette seeds enhance the spicy warmth, timeless jasmine elevates the floral signature, and a trail of cedarwood brings a vibrant and magnetic beauty to the drydown.
The top note is ambrette seeds, middle note is jasmine and the dry note is cedarwood. I like the perfume its extremely flowery in my opinion in terms of scents so you need to like this kind of juice to like the perfume. One of the best things about this perfume is the fact that once you spray it, it sticks on your skin for hours (I hate perfumes that sink into your skin too quick).
You can go grab one for yourselves or perhaps even for your moms on mother’s day in Faces.

The Sally Hansen new Gem Crush™ Nail Color; high impact bling and full coverage glitter polish. Unlike other glitter formulas, Gem Crush™ Nail Color delivers high-intensity sparkle for a brilliant, multi-dimensional manicure that simply glimmers. Available in eight daring shades, each color brings a major dose of glitz and glamour to your nails. My tip for this nail polish is to put it on top of a another color. For example, the gold glitter would look nice as a top coat on black or brown polish, the pink could look nice on beige or light grey etc. If you use the sparkly nail polish only, I think it looks a bit tacky…but hey that’s just my opinion.
I got some of the polishes (from left to right): big money, razzle dazzler, be jeweled, cha ching.
Best part is, its available in Carrefour, Iconic and Spinneys for only AED 29 in the UAE, Jordan and Lebanon

What man are you? I believe that many small things can determine what type of person you are. For women, I usually look at nails and accessories. With men its more simple than that, perfumes play a huge role in what type of man they are. So, are you a Guess or Calvin Klein man?
Guess Seductive perfume is the first men’s fragrance in the seductive collection. The fragrance contains woody, aromatic and fougere notes. It is intended for seductive, charming, charismatic and magnetic men.
Calvin Klein Intense Euphoria is sweeter and more intensive, less aromatic but significantly more oriental. The notes are myrrh, spices, ambergris, vetiver, labdanum and agar wood. This fragrance is intended for the busy “guy’s guy” on the run cruising the streets at night. This is for the mysterious man that everyone knows and no one understands.
So, which man are you?
Both perfumes are available in FACES Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates.
