La Prairie is without a doubt one of the most expensive brand of cosmetic products. Their latest offering, Skin Caviar Crystalline Concentrate, does not carry a very high price tag (we still haven’t forgotten their $1,000 worth moisturizer) but it does boast of a diamond essence that will make you skin glow like never before.
Other ingredients in this beauty concentrate, excluding diamond of course, include mica and quartz crystals along with amino acids, plant extracts, peptides, caviar extracts as well as La Prairie’s exclusive Cellular Complex. All these combine to make this nutrient ultra-beneficial for the skin health. It brings back lost elasticity while adding illumination to your face.

Don’t go by the doubtful name of this cosmetics brand. Rather go by its products, and the latest among them will prove to be a value addition to your vanity case. We are talking about Two Faced Cosmetics. And yes, their Lockdown Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow is a combination of their eye-primer with a subtle eye shadow that gives a perfect base for a daytime look.
A very handy cosmetic, this one lets you save some time from your morning make up routine. You can pick from six shades that primarily range between browns and pinks. We think, the brand might just venture into more colorful arenas in their next production of the line.

Ok, so you have planted your house with a rocking surround sound system and plasma TV. The lights further add to the ambience. Right? But one thing is missing — smells! And that is where designer David Sweeney steps in. He presents a way to treat our nose to a virtual reality which he likes to call the smell jungle.
Actually, the gadgets in question works on the fact that smells evoke memories, so much so that your thinking can be altered. So, the smell jungle observes our environment and its Quale diffuser learns to associate a unique lend of smell with a specific event. These fragrances are then played throughout the day.

Amanda Lepore sure has been the face for a stream of fashion brands but this time she has earned a gorgeous fragrance that is dedicated to her. For the uninitiated, Lepore is a famous American transsexual icon and Christophe Laudamiel has created a fragrance called ‘Amanda’ inspired by her.
The limited edition perfume comes in a bottle encrusted with 1,000 Swaroski crystals and will be sold in the markets starting December 6 at $950 a piece. Laudamiel claims that they have done their best to capture Lepore’s elegance, glamour and strength of character.

The mention of Versace is enough to get the idea of the product that could be mentioned which without doubt belongs to the upper crust. And Donatella Versace is never one to skimp on excess. Known for famously stating “more is more,” the designer has just created what appears to be one of the world’s most luxury perfumes. Despite the threat of a worldwide recession Donatellas new fragrance will retail at $2,100.
The 3.4-oz. bottle of the perfume is covered with hand-stitched white leather and it comes in a leather box with silver and gold details. Both the sheath and the box bear metal plates bear the words Gianni Versace Couture, in tribute to Donatella’s brother. The formula boasts citrus accents of bergamot and mandarin blended with red berries and tangerines. There’s a floral feel too with jasmine, heliotrope and almond blossom tones. The base is muskier as Tonka bean is combined with patchouli heart and sandalwood. If the ingredients themselves are heavenly singly, what fragrance would be of their infusion?

Yes, with plain black dress and neck dominated with diamonds and blingy tanzanite heels, you look gorgeous but can you sense that you are still missing something?
