FRAGRANCE
Oscar de la Renta sued Elizabeth Arden last week, claiming that the design of its new perfume packaging infringed on an Oscar de la Renta trademark. Elizabeth Arden responded yesterday, calling the complaint “without merit.” Drama! [WWD]

Thierry Mugler revealed the bottle for its new fragrance, the campaign for which stars Naomi Watts. Looks lovely. [• Have you heard of ScentByMe.com? Neither had we! Apparently it’s like a Netflix but for perfume so you can test out the ones you want to buy. Sign us up. [15 Minute Beauty Fanatic]

• For the first anniversary of Marc Jacobs’s Daisy scent, he’ll release Daisy Black, a limited-edition perfume launching in Europe this August. There’s no mention of when it will come Stateside. Sniff. [Now Smell This]

PLASTIC SURGERY
• Here’s how the cosmetics industry is keeping business going during the recession: lipo discounts! One Website offers $800 coupons. [PRNewswire]

MAKEUP
• We’ve seen peel-and-stick nail polish, and now ColorOn Professional introduces the same concept for eyelids. For $25 a kit on Sephora’s Website you can get your own peel-and-stick eye shadow. It even comes in zebra. We imagine disastrous sweaty nights out. [Nylon]

Diane Von Furstenberg releases a signature lipstick every season. For summer 2008, she made a shimmery, pale-coral shade called Volcano that retails for $18. [BellaSugar]

• Bare Escentuals has ten new shades of its SPF 15 mineral makeup, mostly for darker and olive-toned skin. [Beauty and the Blog/Sephora]

• The fall collection by Nars Cosmetics is full of soft browns and reds. [Kiss and Makeup]

NAILS
• The fall colors from Deborah Lippmann, including white, red, black, and shimmery purple, look very Vegas. We like it all except for Rhapsody in White, a pearly shade that’s a bit tacky. [Makeup and Beauty Blog]
