Both Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani debuted commercials for their fragrances late this year, and I noticed more than one similarity: 

*Both scents designers are pop singers.

*Both scents are named after initials - M for Mariah, L. for L.A.M.B.

*Both celebrities are sexily frolicking in the water in their commercials.

*Both scents are available on Sephora.com! 1.7 ounces of L. is $55, and 1.7 ounces of M is $52.50.

Here is Mariah Carey’s commercial for M:

Here is Gwen Stefani’s commercial for L:

Which commercial and/or scent is your favorite?

Hi GLAMonistas!

I’m not ashamed to admit it; another one slipped right past me - thank goodness for YouTube! From tomboy Teena Brandon to double Oscar-winning hottie, Hilary Swank is the perfect poster girl for Guerlain’s Insolence scent. See her super-sexy commercial below.

2007 was big in Hollywood. Aside from the repeat rehabbers, the DUI dramas, and every other gal getting bit by the pregnancy bug, it was also a big year for beauty. Blondes went brunette and vice versa, everyone went snip crazy, and pinup glamour became the look a la mode. Here, myself and Cliff (one of my FAVORITE beauty publicists) count down our favorite beauty moments of 2007.

10. Mariah Is Still Flawless

Cliff says: Does the women even have pores?! Mimi showed off her flawless skin with minimal makeup and a nude gloss and shadow, which go perfect with her sun kissed highlights.
India-Jewel says: This rarely happens, but Mariah’s look is the life and the death of her. She’s found a look she loves and she sticks with it. Baby pink makeup. Tumbling curls. Dumb doe-eyed look. It’d be nice to see you switch it up a bit, Mariah.

9. Beyoncé FINALLY Goes Brunette

India-Jewel says: Maybe it’s just me, but Ms. Beyoncé looks wayyyyyyyyy better with a darker hair hue. She was almost too monochromatic with blonde hair…
Cliff says: Dark is a nice change, but blonde Beyoncé is just more fun, except when she goes too over the top with the bronzer.

8. Rumer Willis Goes Platinum, Then Long

India-Jewel says: Truth be told, the bloggers beat this poor girl up CRAZY! It really seems like she can’t catch a break, which is sad, because she’s young – she should totally play with her look as much as she wants!
Cliff says: I think momma Demi could teach her a thing or two.

7. Alicia Keys Lets Her Hair Down… For Good

Cliff says: Gone are the days of various braided hairstyles, this year Alicia Keys showed us that she can let her hair down… and keep it that way. She’s rocked it bone straight and voluminously curly—and has wowed us all along the way. She always wears the perfect makeup as well. She’s a perfect 10 in my book!
India-Jewel says: I love it. I love it. I LOVE IT. Ms. Keys showed us how to get super sexy without taking a THING off.

6. America the Beautiful is no Longer an “Ugly Betty”

Cliff says: America Ferrera showed us that messy hair, braces, and glasses are really just for the show! This year she has sported sexy up-do’s and barrel waves with flawless makeup; she always manages to look classy and sophisticated without boring us. With awards season about to be underway, I’m sure the best is yet to come!
India-Jewel says: I like America’s pretty girl-next door look. She really blossomed quickly from adorable to flat-out gorgeous. Ugly Betty is really a babe! ‘Nuff said.

5. Jennifer Hudson Upgrades to Glamazon

Cliff says: Jennifer evoked old Hollywood style glamour with these luscious 1940’s waves and extra long lashes; she finished off the look with dewy skin, striking yet subtle shadows and a bright lip, which is BIG these days. And girls, wouldn’t you DIE to have those brows? We see why this is Andre Leon Talley’s favorite girl—Utter perfection!
India-Jewel says: I agree. J. Hudson has the whole 40’s sexpot look down—move over Ava Gardner. Jennifer Hudson stole your look, and Marilyn Monroe’s curves. Double whammy!

4. Victoria Beckham Goes Blonde

India-Jewel Says: I commend Posh Spice for embracing the LA lifestyle wholeheartedly–plus, who else could go from brunette to blonde and back, and look just as fab either way?
Cliff says: I agree, VB has the confidence to pull off any look–she is fierce personified. And is it just me, or does she never have a hair out of place?

3. Kate Moss Is “Banging It”

India-Jewel says: As the Queen of the chameleon clique, I thought Miss Moss would have given up on this trendy look by now. With that said, to see her embrace her brilliant bangs the way she has, makes me want to give her shaggy chic look a go on myself.
Cliff says: Kate definitely makes it work, and her hair is always so shiny and healthy—I’d love to see her go shorter in ‘08.

2. Rihanna Goes “Posh”

India-Jewel says: When photos surfaced of her with a sexy, inky black Aeon Flux-inspired bob, I thought to myself, “This is big for her. Icon status big.”
Cliff says: This edgy cut definitely took her to another level; I love how she occasionally changes it up by adding extensions or bits of color. If this is “…Gone Bad,” then sign me up!

1. Katie Holmes Joins the ‘Bob Squad’

Cliff says: Katie added more bang to her bob with this sexy new ‘do—her eyes are outlined to perfection and the soft lip and cheeks finish the look off without making it over the top—take a hint, Kim Kardashian!
India-Jewel says: Back up Cliff! Some of us LOVE Kim Kardashian’s hair and makeup (Click HERE and HERE to read my interview with her [SHAMELESS PLUG]). Back to Katie – little Joey Potter is long gone. I loved the original bob. I said it before, I’ll say it again – it really looks like a wig to me. A wig that would look fierce on a drag queen, or a much older woman. I preferred Katie’s first bob. (Another SHAMELESS PLUG!)

It’s BobGate 2007! The bob squad just inducted another member, and I think this may have slipped right past us… Hilary Swank turned up in Dublin at the Irish premiere of her newest film, P.S. I Love You, sporting a shaggy chic bob, oddly similiar to Anne Hathaway’s new hairstyle.

Funny thing is, after a quick glimpse at Swank’s WireImage page, it looks as if she cut her hair this past November! 

Am I the only one that didn’t notice, or has everyone’s attention been elsewhere? Hell, I’ll admit it - I’ve been a bit busy trying to keep up my favorite trainwrecks (between Britney, Lindsay, & Amy Winehouse, I don’t know who had a worst year!) 

Come on GLAMonistas - who else do you think will be next to hop on the bob-train?

As usual, this morning I found myself perusing the visual happenings on YouTube, and I came across Kate Winslet in the Lancôme Trésor advert, as well as the Diesel Fuel for Life commercial.

Both are incredibly short (30 seconds or below), and both are oh-so-confusing! Kate’s just running across a bridge and hugging her beau, and the Diesel model is buttoning up her blazer in the elevator. I don’t get it. What’s the actual connection with the fragrances?

Lancôme:

Diesel:

Think you’ve got a bit more clarity than moi? Do share. I just don’t get it.

If Oprah includes it on her “Favorite Things” list, clearly it’s something worth checking into. If you haven’t yet been formally introduced, welcome to FarmHouse Fresh 101.

Who knew lubing up in the morning could be so much fun?!?!?!?!?! Don’t call it a lotion–it’s the FarmHouse Fresh Sweet Cream Body Milk. (It even pours like milk!) This ultra rich moisturizer is chock-full of a plethora of moisture-sealing oil ingredients, including rice bran, jojoba seed, sweet almond, soybean, avocado, and sesame. BONUS: It smells fantastic; it’s the perfect combination of creamy vanilla and warm sugar cookies, without it smelling like ‘sugar overload.’ It also comes in an adorable glass carafe (with a stopper!), making it a perfect gift/cute keepsake for those who’ve proven to be impossible to shop for.

For the gal who likes multi-tasking beauty, the FarmHouse Fresh Strawberry Smash Double Moisturizer is right up your alley. It packs a powerful punch of aloe leaf, shea butter and live strawberry cells full of antioxidant goodness for youthful, supple skin. GlamBlush translation: it’s a cool combination of body whipped cream and moisturizing gel; smashing up this fragrant strawberry scented moisturizer is a fun way to keep your skin soft and smooth, and smelling good. The best part? It comes in a cute glass jar and mixing stick. Doesn’t it look just like a yummy jar of grandma’s preserves?

Don’t forget to visit FarmHouseFreshGoods.com to see what else is cooking “down on the farm!”
