    It’s rare that a flanker within a fragrance coll It’s rare that a flanker within a fragrance collection eclipses the original, but in the case of Salvatore Ferragamo’s new Signorina Libera, the new eau de parfum is a triumph. Credit perfumer Jerome Epinette for blending a modern floral-musk-gourmand that literally dances from the bottle. The scent opens with sparkling velvet pear and Calabrian bergamot mixed with the aromatic freshness of elemi. (Elemi is a pale yellow fragrance resin tapped from a tree that has a sharp balsamic-spicy, almost lemony aroma.) The heart is built around rose absolute and plum nectar which pairs nicely with sweet Italian orris butter and candy accents of pink sugar. Comforting cashmere woods and amboxan provide longevity. It’s beautifully crafted and executed. When I recently showed this fragrance on Cityline, the response was instantaneous. The audience members were raving about it from first sniff. And Tracy has decided it is her new spring scent. Stock up on this one. It’s a winner. #davelackiebeauty #signorinalibera #ferragamofragrance

    Each spring, French luxury brand Guerlain pays tri Each spring, French luxury brand Guerlain pays tribute to the Hanami ritual in Japan in the form of an exceptional, limited and number flacon of its fresh and floral Cherry Blossom fragrance. To mark the 170th anniversary of Guerlain’s iconic bee bottle, the beauty brand invited prestigious Parisian embroidery house Ateliers Vermont, to craft the magical adornment of the Cherry Blossom Bee Bottle. The results are breathtaking. You’ll notice this métier d’art edition features a slender, elegant cherry tree branch adorned with blossoms. The branch is embroidered with a slender golden thread that secures golden pearls and tubes that form the body of the branch. The delicate branch is set on a powder pink grosgrain bow. It’s the work of skilled artisans using Parisian Haute Couture techniques to celebrate a Japanese tradition. The scent itself layers notes of bergamot, green tea accord, almond, cherry, powdery lilac, jasmine and white musks. A true work of art. #davelackiebeauty
    Fans of UK-based celebrity makeup artist @lisaeldr Fans of UK-based celebrity makeup artist @lisaeldridgemakeup will be excited to learn she has just launched eight new shades of her innovative lip gloss that combine a sheer wash of colour with replenishing oils and butters. Think of it as a lip treatment with colour that leaves lips plumped, smoothed and cushioned thanks to Wild Mango Kernel Oil, Acai Berry Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Vitamin E Oil. What I like is that you can shop by pigment level. Translucent Shine offers subtle pearl effect with no pigment. Light promises a natural pigment level. And Medium Impact adds a little more colour. “Dancing Rose”, a Translucent Shine is a standout with a hint of pink pearl. Available on Lisa’s website. (She does ship to Canada) #davelackiebeauty #lisaeldridgemakeup #lipglosstrend #springbeauty

    There are so many similarities to the craftsmanshi There are so many similarities to the craftsmanship of fine watches and luxury fragrances. Both start with a concept and a creative brief (which always includes lots of sketches and design ideas) Next the hard work begins – crafting the product. Selecting the finest materials and inspiring the world’s top artisans to create something truly special. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Rick Ostrom last week. He’s managing director for Tissot in Canada and he kindly showcased the hottest trends in watch design. I’m holding the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 watch that boasts the most incredible ice blue dial that elevates the entire impression. It’s this shimmering glacial blue with a grid pattern background. Like many of the fashion collections hitting the catwalks in New York, Paris and Milan, this slim design was originally launched in 1978 and maintains a 70s vibe. It’s self-winding with 80 hours of power reserve thanks to an innovative Nivachron hairspring. In fact, Tissot has mined its archives for several 70s designs that it has updated for a new generation. It was great to catch up with Rick. I actually worked with him at my first job as a special events coordinator at Hudson’s Bay’s flagship store in Toronto. He was overseeing the Swatch brand marketing and my job was to help coordinate the special events and limited edition launches. The first event we did together was to launch a Queen-themed Swatch where there were only 15 available for sale in Canada. As you can imagine, the frenzy of fans begging to buy the watches was unbelievable. To create a spectacle, Rick hired a horse-drawn carriage (with two white horses) to come down Yonge Street on a Saturday morning complete with a model dressed as a queen. She descended from the carriage in front of the store carrying the watch on a velvet cushion. She and her pages paraded through the store and stopped in front of the Swatch shop to greet fans who had lined up. It was sensational! And this was even before social media. Rick’s an icon in the Canadian watch industry. #davelackiebeauty #tissotcanada #tissot

    How Starbucks is influencing the beauty industry How Starbucks is influencing the beauty industry Starbucks is launching its Spring 2023 menu today and the company remains the biggest influence in the beauty industry. If you want to see the future of makeup and fragrance, step into a Starbucks café anywhere in the world. From the choice of beverage flavours, cake pop themes, coffee shots, packaging and even lighting, no other retailer or company has a bigger influence on fragrance, makeup and skincare products today. How has the Seattle-based coffee company influenced the $40 billion-a-year beauty industry? (Read my feature story on my website) Spring 2023 Starbucks Menu New Iced Strawberry Oat Matcha Tea Latte This Canadian-exclusive creation blends matcha green tea, refreshing strawberry and creamy oat milk. Matcha offers a complex flavour profile with mellow vegetal, grassy notes and an inherent nuttiness that is slightly bitter. Strawberry is bright and sharp. And oat milk has a rich flavour. “We were inspired to bring together the grounded earthiness of matcha, that first bite into a ripe, juicy strawberry with subtle notes of cucumber and a hint of lemon for a refreshing and balancing beverage experience when sipping on the new Iced Strawberry Oat Matcha Tea Latte,” explains Matthew Thornton, Starbucks beverage developer. The new Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew is sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with cinnamon caramel foam and a dusting of cinnamon dolce topping. Building on the love of Starbucks Cold Brew, which is handcrafted in small batches daily, slow-steeped in cool water for 20 hours, without touching heat, the new beverage delivers a gorgeous cascade of cold foam that is velvety smooth. “Taking inspiration from salted caramels and gooey sticky buns, the new Cinnamon Caramel Cream Cold Brew is a lovely balance of decadent baking flavours with a delicate and creamy cold foam topping that seamlessly blends into the coffee with each sip,” says Erin Marinan, Starbucks beverage developer. #davelackiebeauty #starbuckscanada @starbucksanaa @starbucks #starbucks
