Celebrity Saturday: Kim Kardashian introduces Pure Honey fragrance

Kim Kardashian is introducing a new women's fragrance called Pure Honey.

Weird name for a perfume.

I hear Pure Honey and I'm thinking about food. 

I don't want to smell like food. Do you?

Here's Kim Kardashian on the cover of Hia, the leading lifestyle magazine for Arab women.

Thank you, Helena Rubenstein

The Daily Mail has an interesting article on the life of cosmetics innovator, Helena Rubenstein.

The article credits Ms. Rubenstein with taking makeup mainstream. Until around World War I, only actresses and prostitutes wore makeup. And in the polite society of the day, actresses and prostitutes were considered the same thing. 

I love playing with makeup, so I'm very grateful to Helena Rubenstein. I would hate to have had to chose between cosmetics and my virtue.

Though I've never used the Helena Rubenstein brand, I'm absolutely in love with the design of its mascaras.

It sparkles ever so

Love this image from Bloomingdale's. It's part of the intro to Bloomingdale's online collection of Chanel women's fragrances and cosmetics.
