The dynamic Elizabeth and James designer duo, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, are introducing two distinctive fragrances for her.

Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen’s Dualstar Entertainment Group entered into an exclusive fragrance license agreement with Kendo, a strategic brand development and partnership division of SEPHORA. Celebrating both intimacy and individuality, the twins’ creative direction helped developed two unique scents that reflect the two: Elizabeth and JamesNirvana WHITE and Elizabeth and James Nirvana BLACK. Containing alluring floral musks with notes of peony, the WHITE is perfect and light enough for the day. The sensual, woody scent with notes of violet, sandalwood and vanilla in the BLACK are enticing enough for the night.

“Everyone wants to experience their nirvana,” stated Mary-Kate Olsen. “Ashley and I understand everyone’s nirvana is different so we’re asking our Elizabeth and James girl, “What is your nirvana?”

“Our nirvana is reflected in the juice, bottle, packaging and campaign imagery for Elizabeth and James Nirvana and we’re excited to share it with the SEPHORA client,” said Ashley Olsen.

The architectural lines, rich gold accents and distinctive texture of the bottles, designed by Ashley and Mary-Kate, are stylistically inspired by vintage jewelry and mirror the design elements seen throughout the Elizabeth and James brand.

“We’re excited to partner with Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen to create Elizabeth and James Nirvana WHITE andElizabeth and JamesNirvana BLACK, and bring their unique fashion point of view to life through fragrance,” said Michael McGeever, SEPHORA SVP and GM, Kendo. “The Elizabeth and James brand captures timeless chic with a modern edge, a concept that resonates extremely well with our clients and establishes the foundation for a strong beauty brand.”

Elizabeth and James Nirvana fragrances will each be available in three different sizes- 30 ml ($55), 50 ml ($75) and a rollerball ($22). The fragrances will launch exclusively at all SEPHORA stores and Sephora.com January 2014.

5 Products You Need From Marc Jacob's New Beauty Collection

Unless you were living under a rock these past few weeks you definitely heard the news about Marc Jacobs beauty line launching. It was officially availiable for sale on Friday, August 9th at Sephora (in store & online) as well as Marc Jacobs online. You can also visit his new beauty boutique on Bleecker Street in New York.

The products are even better than I imagined. I was given a sneak peek a few weeks ago and I was immediately impressed by the quality. What I didn't realize what how amazing the entire collection would be. I haven't tried a product I didn't love. I've almost tested the entire line with the exception of the mascara, bronzer, and makeup brushes. Don't worry - it's on the top of my to-do list. So far I'm obsessed and trust me, you will be too.

Beauty News Vol. 1 -- Kardashian's New Makeup Line, Urban Decay No Longer Cruelty Free & More

Welcome to the first edition of Beauty News. In the section, I'll be posting new and relevant beauty news as it is announced. So let's get to it, shall we?

1. The Kardashians Launch a Makeup Line: It's no secret that Kourtney, Khloe, & Kim Kardashian are known for their good looks. Kim, in particular, is a makeup maven having become wildly popular for always wearing a gorgeous smokey eye and nude lip. It was really only a matter of time for the ladies to launch a beauty line. The beauty line will be titled Khroma Beauty and will include everything from eyes, lips to complexion. When I think of the Kardashians and makeup, the first brands that come to mind are NARS (Kim is known for wearing lip gloss in Turkish Delight) and MAC Cosmetics. The ladies are fans of those brands, so I'm hoping they will take inspiration from them. The line is set to launch in December and will even include a product called a Kardazzle compact. Can you say bling bling?

2. Christian Louboutin to Launch Beauty Line: Red Sole lovers beware! Cosmetics are coming. Can we pray for all sleek black packaging with red bottoms? Christian Louboutin is launching "Christian Louboutin Beaute" and will join fellow designer Tom Ford who launched his beauty line in 2011.  The cosmetic line will sell worldwide and is set to launch in 2013.

3. Urban Decay No Longer Cruelty Free: The controversy on the street is Urban Decay will begin to sell their products in China. The Chinese government reserves the right to conduct animal testing with cosmetic products before the products are approved for use by Chinese citizens. Urban Decay has been honest about their brand's stand against animal testing. On June 6th, 2012, Leaping Bunny took away their certification. The beauty community has responded in an uproar about their decision. Will you continue to purchase Urban Decay?

UPDATE: Urban Decay released a statement stating they will not be selling their products in China. Read more here.
