    Summer can be the busiest time of year for many of us. Three months of vacation, travel, weekend excursions, surprise visits and spontaneous road trips! All those days at the beach, evening concerts and other balmy night activities sure are fun, but keep us busy and running all around! What is the best way to stay looking and smelling so fresh and so clean (clean) if there's no time to stop by the house in between things? There's travel size cosmetics, blotting papers, compact mirrors, mini hair brushes and even dry shampoo! But what about perfume? The last thing you want to do is stuff your already bulging tote with the Nordstrom's fragrance department! Some mini perfume solids and oils have become my favorites, but at times, I just want to smell like my favorite perfume... the one that only comes in a spray-on version. The latest trend in perfumes and scents is the travel size tube! These are glass vials that hold about 0.3 oz of your favorite scent, so you can grab a familiar favorite and slip it easily into a purse or pocket and smell like your freshest you anytime and anywhere. More and more stores are providing this simple and sweet solution in scents so check out your favorite beauty store! Still not sure if you'll be able to find your specific favorite? Check out the slideshow for some classic favorites.

    For the first time since the Private Blend Collection was launched in the spring of 2007, Tom Ford Beauty is adding another revolutionary fragrance to the line. Italian Cypress, the new sartorially inspired scent is being launched this summer in honor of the new Tom Ford store in Milan, Italy. Created for true connoisseurs of fragrance, all of the scents in the Private Blend Collection deliver original blends of the most fascinating notes in the perfumer's lexicon. In the world of fragrance, Tom Ford scents are as distinct and instantly recognizable to the well-trained nose as a Gucci purse is to even the most untrained eye. Italian Cypress blends woods and resins, delivering the robust essence of Italian quality and sophistication. This truly complex blends lingers with final notes of labdanum, Icelandic moss, ciste absolute, and Indonesian patchouli.

    Have You Seen The Chanel No. 5 Short Film With Audrey Tautou?

    Watch the new short film for Chanel No. 5 on the product's official website! It stars Amelie's Audrey Tautou and is set to debut as a TV advertisement soon. The mood is definitely romantic with its train setting, longing looks, and its exotic Istanbul locale. Amelie director, French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet, brings a softer, romantic side to Chanel No. 5 -- a stark contrast to the glitzy and glamorous ads starring Nicole Kidman, as well as the ones from the 80's with Carole Bouquet. Chanel No. 5 becomes a soft, artistic, and sophisticated lady thanks to Audrey Tautou. On a side note, I love the delicate star necklace she's wearing in the last scene! What do you think?

    Hot In The Hive: Pacifica Solid Perfumes

    image
    Ida Hsiang on Apr 9, 2009 6:17 AM PDT
    I am a self admitted fragrance addict and love to match my daily scent to my mood. I love body-sprays and eaux de toilettes and never feel like I have enough perfumes on my dressing table! My biggest worry in that department is that, even after multiple spritzes, the fragrance disappears five minutes after I walk out the door! I want to smell good all day but don't want to lug a huge glass bottle in my purse for touch-ups. The mini sample sizes are cute but run out before half the day is even over! For that very reason, I was excited to discover solid perfumes. Solid perfumes are more oil and wax based, as opposed to alcohol-based, which means they stay on the skin longer instead of evaporating like spray perfumes. Pacifica Solid Perfumes come in a variety of exotic, sophisticated scents like Tuscan Blood Orange, Tahitian Gardenia, Egyptian Bergamot Rose and many more, making it easy to find a personal favorite! Made from organic soy and coconut wax and all natural and essential oils, you can smell good AND feel good about using it! With their beautiful packaging and tiny (but long-lasting!) 0.3 oz. size, they travel well in a purse or coat pocket. Affordable at $9.00 each, you can mix your own signature scent by layering a few scents or more, or get a grab-bag of these solid perfumes for an attractive and unique gift for a friend! Each scent also comes in a variety of other beauty and scent products.


    Price: $9.00
    Who Found It: Idabone was first to add the Pacifica Solid Perfumes to the Hive.

    Ready For Spring Already? Stylehive's Stylescopes Has Your ...

    This winter season may be trudging along as slow as ever, giving us only minute peeks at what we have in store for springtime, but that doesn't mean that you should have to live in limbo like the weather seems to be! The signs insist that spring will be here before we know it (you didn't lose an hour of sleep for nothing!) so you might as well kiss the "blahs" goodbye and forge ahead into festive florals and bright colors fit for the (hopefully) sunny weather ahead! And while summery clothing may not be the wisest way to kick the season into gear (it is still a little too cold for flip-flops and tank tops), there's no reason why your beauty regime can't be warmth-inspired to channel the blue skies ahead! You'd be surprised at how easy it is to perk up your mood (and your look) with springy eye-brightening liners and highlighters, complexion buffers, and even scents! Pisces can spread the spring fever with a peppy floral perfume by Marc Jacobs, Virgos can play up their peepers with some stylishly long lashes, and Cancers will learn how to fake a golden glow with Smashbox shimmery bronzer! Check out the slideshow to see what beauty boosts your sign has in store this week!
