Guess Seductive

Vanessa Choot October 5, 2010

Guess Seductive Eau de Toilette

The sexy GUESS Seductive bottle offers a flirty twist on the iconic brand’s image.  The timeless bottle and cap echo the shape of the world-renowned GUESS logo.  The bottle is enhanced with a crocodile logo panel along with an artistic gold dangling charm in the shape of two eye-catching hearts.  The black, ecru and gold carton is inspired by a vintage trunk, and reflects the balance of modern femininity and retro glamour associated with the luxurious fragrance and the house of GUESS.

Playful yet classic and true to the GUESS brand, Seductive is meant to be a tempting, irresistible scent.  The heart of the fragrance is made up of floral scents as a “fatal floral attraction” while the top notes release fruity scents.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Blackcurrent, Crispy Pear
Middle Notes: Orange Flower, Jasmine, Orris
Base Notes: Vanilla, Olibanum, Cashmere Wood

“Be seduced with the audacious new scent” – Guess Seductive retails for $69 (50ml) and $85 (75ml) at selected drug and department stores across Canada.

Sally Hansen – Nail Art Pens

I saw some Sally Hansen nail art pens at London Drugs the other day. Thought it was cool how they came in 8 different colors – white, black, light pink, hot pink, blue, red, silver and gold. The packaging has inspiring looks about what you can do with your nail art pen – from a black/red checkerboard pattern, to flowers, to diagonal stripes and stars.

Developed to dispense just the right amount of color, the precision-tip pen helps you instantly customize your nails and toes so you can design and go. Create styles seen on celebrities, nail art websites or your own styles – the options are endless. Just press the pen point to activate nail color and start designing your own nails, then seal with topcoat when your design is complete.

Some alternative suggestions includes tipping your nails in different colors – like a french manicure but with funkier colors! Or writing letters on your nails to spell out a message. This product retails for $7.95 at selected drugstores across Canada.
