A gaggle of Victoria's Secret Angels were on hand at the Victoria's Secret store on Broadway here in New York Saturday to launch The Heavenly Flowers scent. Alessandra Ambrosio, Candace Swanepoel and Miranda Kerr signed autographs, took pictures with fans and cut flowers to hand out to moms in honor of Mother's Day. In addition, shoppers were given the opportunity to get mini makeovers.
The Heavenly Flowers scent is a floral-fruity green fragrance with top notes of Juicy Mandarin Watermelon Sorbet, Sparkling Pear and Guava; middle notes of Blooming Gardenia, Lily of the Valley, Apricot Flower, Peony and Violet Leaf; and a dry-down of Creamy Musk and Blonde Wood. Super juicy and extra pretty. The Eau De Parfum ($49) also comes in a Sheer Fragrance Mist ($22) Softening Body Lotion ($20) and a Solid Fragrance Bracelet ($20). The limited edition fragrance will be available for purchase through June 2010.
I was actually given the opportunity to have a little Q&A sesh with the Angels. Here's what they had to say:
Ferocia: What are some of the beauty products that you can't live without during the summer?
Alessandra: I love Victoria's Secret Daily Glow Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF 15. It gives my skin a pretty glow and I stay protected from the sun.
Candice: I really love wavy hair. Victoria's Secret So Sexy Wave Enhancer is perfect to spritz on at the beach.
Miranda: I love bright red lipstick right now, like VS Makeup Matte Cream Lipstick in Icon.
Ferocia: What's one tip that you would offer to the everyday woman to do to make her feel fabulous?
Alessandra: Smoky eyes make you feel both sexy and fabulous!
Candice: Layering the perfect scent with lotion and spritzing the fragrance on top.
Miranda: I love when my hair is pulled back from my face into a simple ponytail.
Beauty editors and bloggers alike were also given makeovers (in a fabulous VIP section) by two of the artists from the VS Makeup Supermodel Team with products from the Fall 2010 collection, including the VS Makeup Fall Face Kit Collection. The Fall Face Kits are designed for three skin tones: light, medium and deep. Each kit includes 3 eye shadows, an eye liner, mascara and lip gloss along with detailed instructions imprinted on the inside on how you can achieve the look. Priced at $28, it will be available for purchase August-October 2010 and is so new that I don't even have the product in final packaging. However, I will definitely test it out and will let you know what I think. Just from its looks, it seems like a pretty good deal!
Here's my friend April Franzino (beauty assistant at Good Housekeeping) about to get her makeup done at the event. Love her!
