When you think of Swarovski crystals, you think of sparkle, right? So it only makes sense that Swarovski would take this as their starting point when setting out to create a signature scent. In partnership with the Clarins Fragrance Group, Swarovski developed the aptly named Aura, “a luminous fragrance, which is light and feminine. Described as a fruity floral, Aura is a complex combination of amber, white musk, lychee, white tuberose and pink pepper that would be an ideal choice for your wedding day! In addition to the fragrance (and accompanying body products), Swarovski has also created two lip glosses and a body shimmer that come packaged in crystal-adorned pendants. If you’re still searching for bridesmaids’ gifts these would be perfect! All the new releases will be available this August at Swarovski boutiques and The Bay across Canada.

Bridal Beauty Pick of the Week
I’ve decided to dedicated my Wednesday blogs to a beauty item I’m loving and that I think is essential for your wedding day (and most times your everyday) beauty kit. Kicking off my first post is a fabulous skin-fix.
WHAT: Clarins Flash Beauty Balm ($50 for 50ml)
WHY: Who doesn’t want brighter, tighter skin? This is especially essential in photographs and there’s probably no day in your life you’ll be snapped as much as on your wedding day. Beauty Flash Balm is a Clarins cult-classic, a silky elixir that you smooth (not rub!) on skin after cleansing and moisturizing to give the skin ‘bounce.’ Use it as a primer and apply makeup immediately after application, or use as a facial mask (apply a generous layer and tissue off after 15 minutes) to revive tired skin.

Wedding Do: Think About Your Beauty Look
While you’re still at the beginning of your planning, it’s absolutely OK to start thinking about how your whole look is going to come together — and that includes your hair and makeup. Before you even begin searching for makeup artists or stylists, start gathering images of looks you love. Just like you would with an inspiration board, pull together colours you’d love to wear, hair accessories you like, even dresses you love too. Read the rest of this entry »

Black Swan Inspired Beauty
Natalie Portman is winning raves for her role in the new thriller Black Swan and the film has us loving all things feathery and ballet-esque. I wanted to sneak you a peak at this gorgeous Black Swan-inspired shot from our Spring & Summer 2011 issue on newsstands next week, part of a beauty story called “Look Book” shot by the talented Carly Routh and styled by our very own Nicole. How amazing is feathery dress and plumy hair band? Both are a perfect match for a classic beauty look like a cat’s eye (which Rosie is loving these days) paired with a nude lip. Check out our issue to see more—it’s on stands December 15.
