FRAGRANCE
• Calvin Klein switched the billboard on Houston and Lafayette Street of Eva Mendes’s Secret Obsession perfume ad. She used to be wearing a sheer bra. Now she’s naked. Upgrade? [Racked]
• French actor Andy Gillet is the face of Kenzo’s Power fragrance for men. In the ad he picks a flower over a naked lady. It’s flower power! [Now Smell This]
MAKEUP
• The Times asks women to translate face-cream ads. In trying to describe the “neuro-cosmetic technology” in Clarins’s Younger Longer Balm, a law student thought it had to do with the brain, as if putting it on makes you smarter. Oy. [NYT]
HAIR
• Sonia Rykiel’s signature hairstyle — a long mane with bangs — inspired the hair at Christian Lacroix. Why it’s … cross-runway promotion! LOVE. [WWD]
• Pink dyed her hair blue. How ironic. [Daily Beauty Reporter/Allure]
