EDiTORiAL Back to School Means Back to a Frenetic Way of Life We All Love As much as we love the summer there is something of a relief to get back to those five full days of work. It is the frenetic pace of business when people say, “Wow, you know that there are only an X number of days until the holiday season? We have to make our numbers/quota.” And nothing sets the stage better than the Mercedes-Benz Spring 2014 Fashion Week here in New York, which in of itself is like jamming 5 lbs of tomatoes into a 2-lb jar. On top of all that, this year is the launch of Modern Muse, Estée Lauder’s first fragrance in ten years. This is coupled with the other fragrance activity, like One Direction’s new fragrance at Macy’s—which my sources told me hit the seven-figure mark in its first week of sales. All great news for the fragrance category. Now that we have segued into Macy’s, if you have not seen the main floor lately make it a priority because it looks amazing and has incredible buzz. On another note, the Paule Ka brand has major stuff in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and is now opening on Madison Avenue. I love this brand, and the one to watch is Susan Kelly who will take this to the next ten levels. Sorry to cut this short, but we are prepping for our business trip to Cannes for Luxe Pack—the best show with a unique buzz. We will be blogging from there on CosmeticWorld.com, so check us out! Warmly,
George Ledes President and CEO

Brand at Inter Parfums How has Inter Parfums maintained the identity of the Betsey Johnson brand through its products? Inter Parfums has my spirit and my look throughout the products. With perfume, the packaging has to hook and connect with the consumer—like the Too Too eau de parfum bottle. The idea for Too Too’s packaging started with this little Victorian corset and a bottle. In fact, tutus are my signature outfit. Inter Parfums has made my spirit as the ‘Tutu Lady’ come to life. Too Too eau de parfum couldn’t be more me.

ince 2010, Inter Parfums has maintained an exclusive worldwide agreement with powerhouse fashion designer Betsey Johnson. They develop and distribute fragrances, cosmetics and personal care products under her brand name. At the time of the agreement, Andy Clarke, president of Inter Parfums USA stated, “Betsey Johnson fashion is forever feminine, sometimes whimsical, but always recognizable.” Johnson recently spoke with Beauty Fashion about her relationship with Inter Parfums, her products, and creative process.
Do you have any future plans for the brand? Do you have any ideas lined up for future launches? I’d love to do everything across the board with creams and particularly makeup. Right now, we’re doing a test run on lip and nail colors. In the future we’ll expand in the makeup area. We want to capture girl’s attention and urge them to wear our makeup. The packaging has to be brilliant and visually stunning, to appeal to the ultimate Betsey Girl. It has to be something you love to look at as well as use. It has to thrill them. Is there any ritual or habit you do before you start brainstorming ideas? I keep my eyes wide open and I’m always thinking. I love to collect perfume bottles. I also get a lot of ideas looking at vintage objects. When it’s time to create something new, I look at all the perfume bottles. I observe perfumes, and their packaging in the market and try to find a gap where I can fulfill a need. I fully believe in the ‘if you build it, they will come’ mantra. BF
How would you describe your working relationship with Inter Parfums? I love the people at Inter Parfums because they’re all great and we work wonderfully together. What I like about the working relationship is that they respect me and there’s open communication. They get me. It’s important to connect with a company, or else you won’t be able to do anything well. S EPTEMB ER 2 0 1 3 /

LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER
n an unprecedented and cross-industry gesture of solidarity, 31 of the nation’s top beauty editors assembled on Saks Fifth Avenue’s storied cosmetics floor last month for the second annual Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) Beauty Editors Day. The charitable event benefits LGFB, a program designed to help women battling cancer address the appearancerelated side effects of treatment. For $30.00, consumers can make an appointment with their favorite beauty editor—each of whom is stationed at a specific counter. The 20-minute consultations included trend discussions, insider secrets, beauty advice and product demos—and each participant left with an exclusive gift. Additionally, Saks vowed this year to donate 10% of all purchases made during the event to LGFB, noted Louanne Roark, executive director of the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) Foundation—which established the
Christian Dior’s Terry Darland with LGFB’s Louanne Roark and Deborah Walters of Saks Fifth Avenue.
LGFB program alongside the American Cancer Society and the Professional Beauty Association. “Beauty Editors Day is quickly becoming a powerful way for the entire beauty industry to demonstrate its collective commitment to women in cancer treatment and to celebrate and support them on their journey,” Roark said. Since its founding 24 years ago, LGFB has helped more than 850,000 people with cancer in the U.S. and 1.2 million worldwide—via free workshops and lessons on cosmetics, skin and nail care, wigs, turbans, accessories and wardrobe styling. Added Ronald Frasch, president and chief merchandising officer for Saks Fifth Avenue: “We’re excited to provide our customers with the chance to interact with leading beauty, style and fashion editors and brands, and, more importantly, to support an inspiring cause near and dear to us all: beauty and hope.” BF

inners of the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Beauty Insiders’ Choice Awards were featured during a QVC broadcast last July 19, showcasing a handful of the most innovative and prestigious launches on the market. CEW president Carlotta Jacobson appeared on-air to inform viewers about CEW and offer insight into the industry. Skin, hair, makeup and fragrance offerings were available from Clinique, Dior, Fresh, Ojon, philosophy and more—with Nourish Organic and MOOR both selling out during their network debuts. (MOOR was the first-ever winner of the QVC Beauty Quest Award, honored for its unique ingredient story). “With so many beauty products to choose from, it can be challenging for consumers to distinguish between them,” Jacobson stated. Having CEW’s stamp of approval means that “customers can be assured that they are buying products that meet the highest of standards,” added QVC’s director of beauty merchandising, Claudia Lucas.

Talks Fragrance and Inter Parfums
Anna Sui
C
elebrated fashion designer Anna Sui has taken her fragrance brand to another level with her license agreement with Inter Parfums. The 10-year worldwide agreement to create, produce and distribute her products began in January 2012. Inter Parfums works with Sui and her creative team to expand on the brand’s current global presence. Beauty Fashion spoke with Sui about why Inter Parfums makes a great partner, in addition to her creative inspiration and future plans for the brand. What inspires your creativity? I am truly inspired by everything that happens around me! Whether it is a new place that I visit, a place that I have been to many times but see in a different way, or something that I see on my walk to work. I love art and history too. When I’m interested in something, I want to know everything about it. I really enjoy that process and find that it influences so much of what I do and create. Describe your working relationship with Inter Parfums. How does that relationship benefit the Anna Sui brand? I love working with Inter Parfums. They are a Anna Sui with Inter Parfums’ great partner! They com- founder and pletely get my vision and CEO Jean really understand what I Madar. want to achieve with each, individual fragrance. It is really a team effort when creating a new fragrance—we work together on everything— from the initial brainstorm, to the actual scent, to the bottle design, to the ad campaign and then to the business plan. Are there any aspirations you have for your fragrance brand? As a designer, I am constantly evolving, trying new things and experimenting. That is the most exciting part… that process. Right now we are in launch mode of my latest fragrance with Inter Parfums, La Vie de Bohème. Like this new fragrance, everything comes from my fashion collection and the runway shows. The research that goes into my collections and shows often leads to the inspiraS EPTEMB ER 2 0 1 3 /

tion for a new fragrance or cosmetic product, so there is definitely a connection between all three. I always feel that every product has to be as exciting as the fashion. We pay so much attention to the entire creative process, the fragrances, box, the bottle, and the ad. Do you have a ritual for brainstorming ideas? Each fragrance that I put my name on has to personify the ‘World of Anna Sui.’ When a customer buys a fragrance, it should give them the same excitement as buying a dress from my collection. So when I start the process of creating a new fragrance, I always keep this principal in mind. BF

Kate Somerville’s Michelle Taylor “Complexion perfection” is the phrase that comes to mind when one thinks of the skin care brand Kate Somerville, which integrates scientific and medicinal research to create products that deliver visible results. Products are clinically developed, tested, and proven in the Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts Clinic on Melrose Place in California. Available on katesomerville.com, as well as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, Sephora and QVC in the U.S., the brand has expanded internationally to Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

COSMOPOLITAN ACTIVATES SHOPPING FEATURE A
s a leader in the tablet magazine market—with over 350,000 current monthly readers—Cosmopolitan is pioneering new technology that will allow consumers to shop its pages with a single tap. The global titan, which publishes 64 total editions in 100 countries, has partnered with leading tech firm Shop Advisor to make the editorial pages and ads within its tablet edition shop-able—via a linear and intuitive process that doesn’t take readers out of the magazine’s shell. Beginning with its June 2013 issue, “Shop Now” buttons have been activated throughout the book on ad and editorial pages alike, linking readers to subsequent pages that feature product details, pricing, and vendor information. Finally—and all while remaining in-app—consumers can be directed to retailers’ sites to complete their purchases.
Cosmopolitan’s September issue.
“This new technology is not only revolutionary, but crucial,” said Donna Kalajian Lagani, senior vice president, publishing director and chief revenue officer, Cosmopolitan. “Tablets represent the fastest-growing technology ever—faster than televisions, even—with over 93 million users in the U.S. alone.” Magazine e-readership is also expanding at an explosive rate, she added, of 147%.
“We’ve been on the tablet since day one,” noted the magazine’s associate publisher, marketing, Nicole Mills, “and are the number one magazine on both the Apple and Barnes & Noble newsstands.” And reader engagement with the “Shop Now” feature has been dynamic thus far, Kalajian Lagani shared. 53% of total Cosmopolitan readers use the button, spending an average time of 2:38 minutes shopping. Additionally, 39% of users showed explicit intent to purchase. Tablet magazines are invaluable to the beauty category, Mills concluded, because they offer an intimate interaction with product launches. Video content, in particular—which can showcase product information or how-to tutorials—is being consumed at a rapid rate, with viewership nearly tripling from Q4 in 2011 to Q4 in 2012. BF

ith a reported $60 million in retail sales in the past 12 months alone, five-year old indie brand IT Cosmetics (IT=Innovative Technology) is continually making waves in the beauty industry—creating a cult-like following on QVC, and launching new products. Beauty Fashion spoke with co-founder and CEO Jamie Kern Lima about IT Cosmetics’ backstory, newfound partnership with ULTA, and why she believes the brand is a runaway success.
Being on screen during my career has made me feel at home on camera, but now on QVC for me it is all about showing my own vulnerability and beauty concerns, and connecting and building that relationship of trust with each and every woman that tries IT Cosmetics for the first time. QVC has allowed me to share these life-changing products with millions of women, and each and every woman who gets an IT Cosmetics product home and discovers they truly are different than anything they’ve used. Then they spread the word and that is how we’ve been so blessed to grow so fast as a brand.

Additionally, users can discover new products, looks and tutorials by browsing the site’s feed; by uploading and tagging photos and videos; by starting a discussion with friends, brands and professionals; and by “Pamping” (or sharing) finds with friends that they then may “Adour” (or like). All products that are featured, tagged or shared on Pampadour are linked to retailers’ respective websites for direct purchase—bridging the gap between media and sales. In this vein, brands can use the site as a promotional outlet, too. In addition to a blog called The Daily Pamp, curated by Mr. Hakimian and the editor Carole Hallac, the company also hosts monthly “Pamp Parties” in collaboration with beauty experts and brands, whereby the site provides a charitable donation on behalf of users who participate.

The 120-product line is exclusively available at Sephora and select Marc Jacobs stores. “I always loved color. I wanted to get into makeup because I’ve always loved the ritual of a young woman enjoying creating her look, getting ready for her night out, or her night after her night out,” Jacobs said. He saw an opportunity to branch out into the color category and became heavily involved in the creative process, which he drew parallels to putting together his fashion collection.

“Imperfectly perfect” is how Jacobs defines beauty. “I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfection…it’s unexpected and surprises you,” he stated.

Lilac Path was inspired by the spring bloom at Lauder’s country home, and weaves together notes of lilac, galbanum, creamy jasmine lactones, angelica seed oil and orange flower. Its “Marila” design is a re-imagining of the Aerin line’s signature batik packaging. Ikat Jasmine is the fragrant equivalent of the perfect pair of jeans: effortless, modern and chic. “Like denim, the jasmine note in the fragrance makes it wearable all year round,” Lauder said. Jasmine sambac and jasmine Egypt infusion are enhanced by tuberose fleur, honeysuckle, tuberose infusion and sandalwood. Packaging was inspired by the blue and white wallpaper in the bedroom where Lauder grew up. Finally, Evening Rose contains blackberry, cognac, rose centifolia, Bulgarian rose absolute and incense—the love of the emblematic rose flower being a Lauder family tradition. The “Hither” pattern was adapted from an English Jacobean handblocked linen from the Lee Jofa archives dating back to the early 20th century. The advertising campaign—shot by Lauder’s close friend, Claiborne Swanson Frank—features her on a balcony in Palm Beach bedecked in floral gown by Valentino. Each of the fragrances, launching this November, is priced at $110.00 for 1.7 oz.

fter her namesake brand has spun off to include categories as varied as home décor, shoes and jewelry, lifestyle mogul Aerin Lauder is returning to her beauty roots this fall with the launch of a brand new fragrance collection. The “modern wardrobe” of five scents aims to encapsulate Lauder’s most intimate memories via the “finest ingredients,” Lauder said. The line’s packaging echoes the feminine and modern aesthetic of its founder. Each rectangular bottle is topped with a pastel stone and each outer carton is adorned in an exclusive Aerin for Lee Jofa design reflective of the fragrance within. Gardenia Rattan evokes fresh cut flowers combined with the scent of seaside breezes—gardenias being Lauder’s first-ever favorite flower. The juice contains marine notes, gardenia, tuberose, tiare Tahiti and amber. The outer carton, in a print called “Sayre,” is reminiscent of a summer garden in the Hamptons. Amber Musk is a blend of ambrox, coconut water, rose centifolia absolute, benzoin and musk—capturing a cozy fireside moment during winter. The brown floral “Kenlyn” design on the fragrance’s outer box is a personal take on the beloved home décor scheme favored by Lauder’s grandmother, Estée.

kin around the eyes and lips are delicate and this delicacy makes the areas highly susceptible to wrinkles and lines. This may explain La Prairie’s new Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Contour Cream and Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Perfection à Porter additions to their powerful, multi-faceted Anti-Aging Collection. The brand states that the key to keep eyes and lips refreshed is to use preventative and reparative treatments to restore and replenish skin in those areas.
La Prairie’s Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Contour Cream is designed to treat the age-sensitive contours of the eyes and lips.
Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Contour Cream is a moisturizer containing amino acid complex, anti-discoloration complex, and marine-derived glycosaminoglycans, resulting in smoothed out lines and wrinkles and added volume to age-related hollowed areas. This should be used morning evening, after cleansing and toning, followed with use of a moisturizer. AntiAging Eye and Lip Contour Cream comes in a 20 ml for the suggested retail price of $190.00.
Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Perfection à Porter is ideal for the ultimate beauty on-the-go treatment. La Prairie says that this was “designed with form and function in mind,” packaged in a silver compact with two separate compartments—an eye cream-gel in one and a lip balm in the other. The cream-gel contains marine and vegetal extracts as well as line smoothers to correct visible signs Eye and Lip Perfection à Porter o f a g i n g , a n d Anti-Aging contains vitamins E and C, glycoproteins, reduce the appear- horsetail, ginseng extracts, and more. ance of dark circles under the eyes.

Dolce & Gabbana have two new fragrances for their Velvet Collection—Tender Oud and Desert Oud. Inspired by the sensuality of the unknown, these fragrances will give an enchanting, exotic, and sweetly grounded in nature experience. Velvet Tender Oud opens with notes of almonds, settling on damask rose and rosa centifolia. “All that is mysterious arouses the senses,” said Stefano Gabbana. Velvet Desert Oud reminds one of the Mediterranian and Middle Eastern islands, opening to a wave of incense, and combining with middle notes of dark wood and amber, drying down to musky notes, lingering on the skin.

Repairwear Laser Focus Smooths, Restores, Corrects Having visible signs of lines and wrinkles are not the only concerns of aging—skin texture is a huge factor as well. Tom Mammone, executive director of Skin Physiology and Pharmacology, Clinique R&D, Worldwide noted that patients with lines and wrinkles also had poor skin texture. “This prompted us to re-evaluate the original formula to see how we could improve the serum to address poor surface texture,” he said. To achieve this, the Clinique team added more technology to their Repairwear Laser Focus Serum with the new launch of Repairwear Laser Focus Smooths, Restores, Corrects.

“Summer in the City” featured a beach look with emphasis on cool makeup trends and skin care.
“Summer in the City” was the theme of a recent department-wide event at Macy’s in the Memorial City Mall, where every makeup line featured special treats for customers—from mini-makeovers to facials to gifts with purchase. At the Dior counter, a fashion runway look was created, with a row of director’s chairs, lighted with umbrellas above, ready for clients to try the latest products. Dior’s number one selling product was Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation, which “gives women a cool, quick airbrushed look,” said national makeup artist Jeffrey Sanchez. “Seasonal items are huge,” continued Sanchez, whom has been a makeup artist for nine years. “It’s a big deal with color again this season—a pop of color. Instead of bright, bold colors, it’s light and sheer—colors that are raspberry and melon.” Another popular item was Dior Addict Lip Glow, a moisturizing lip balm in a beautiful case, which goes on sheer, then changes color according to the wearer’s body chemistry. It retails for $31.00. Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush, which also changes color on a woman’s face based Dior’s Jeffrey Sanchez, a national makeup artist, listens to a client’s on its interaction with concerns. her body chemistry, was also a big seller at $52.00. “The pairing of the two has been a huge success,” said Sanchez. “Everything is coloradjusted.” S EPTEMB ER 2 0 1 3 /
A row of director’s chairs resembled a fashion runway for clients getting makeovers.
Mascara, of course, remained a popular item, but Sanchez warned of how not to apply it. “Don’t pack it on. That gives weight to the lashes, and they won’t curl. Instead, start at the base of the lash and work it up,” he advised.

What is the source of inspiration for brainstorming product ideas? We are constantly inspired by the issues that women face, and we never settle for less when it comes to beauty and innovative technology. Our customers have grown to trust in our brand by knowing when they get an IT Cosmetics product home, it does what it says and truly makes her look and feel her most beautiful. One example of us not settling is that we actually decided never to launch a BB Cream as a brand, simply because I know our customers expect more. BB Cream just doesn’t do enough for the average woman with skin issues like I have. So three years ago we skipped over that concept all together and decided to spend those years working on the first ever full coverage CC Cream, that also has SPF 50+ physical only sunscreen for women with sensitive skin like me who can’t wear chemical sunscreen.
