Usher VIP by Usher
"I consider fragrance to be one of the most important tools of engagement for seduction. With Usher VIP I created a gentleman's scent, which would also appeal to women," said Usher. "Women tell me they love the scent of a man, and I wanted to create that sense of confidence and style that women desire. VIP is a state of mind which about what you do with that confidence and how you make an impact in the lives of those around you."
What it is: A sensual, aromatic scent. Woody warmed by spices of nutmeg and exotic saffron. Constructed around a rich suede note, fresh clean bergamot, tangerine and kumquat.
What we say: Not a fan. Maybe this scent is the REAL reason he's getting a divorce? (lol ok, j/k..it's not that horrible, but definitely nothing to write home about) He's also set to launch a new album this fall as well.

NEW Heidi Klum For VS Makeup Collection


You all know by now my obsession with Victoria's Secret models (in a completely non-lesbian way, of course).
So I was secretly dying when I attended the VS Beauty holiday launch event on Monday afternoon and there, in the flesh, was VS model Heidi Klum! Not only is she the cutest pregnant lady ever, but she was super nice. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take any pics at the event of Heidi (boo!) but it was enough for me to be able to sit at the same table as her and bask in her beautiful pregnant-lady glow. Sigh. She even asked us if we were attending the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards that night (um, negative! The pic above is of her on the red carpet at the awards).
But back to the big beauty news: VS Makeup will be launching new products for The Heidi Collection 2009!
Entitled Exotic Jewels, the collection was inspired by a recent trip she took to Varanasi, India and the Indian-themed vow renewal ceremony with her hubby Seal in Mexico last year.

The collection includes:
-Lip Gloss in Passion Fruit ($14)
-Perfect Lipstick in Exotic Spice (a glimmering nude, $16)
-Glitter Liquid Liner in Majesty ($12)
-Luminous Face Powder Gems in Moonstones (an illuminating powder in pinks, nudes and champagnes, $22)
-Eye Shadow Palette called Hidden Palace (champagne, nude, berry, violet and black shades, $24)
-Extra-lengthening Mascara in Amethyst (purple, $13)
*All products will be available for purchase October 2009 at Victoria's Secret stores and VictoriasSecret.com
