will be posted daily, including feature stories, how-to videos, beauty news, tips, tricks and more. “Our brand strategy for Makeup. com is to speak to women as only their beauty best friend can,” said Farrah Linden, corporate media manager of L’Oréal USA. “We want to stimulate their beauty lives and encourage them to fearlessly step up to the ‘new’ and dare to be just a bit more adventuresome. Our brand tone is one of a best friend; we are playful, encouraging and in-the-know.” The new site—under the direction of consulting editor Ellen Seidman and editor Ayren Jackson-Cannady, both former beauty writers for women’s magazines—will aim to engage all beauty lovers in one space using social and interactive content in a range of topics including face, eyes, lips, nails and skin care. Contributing writers include Sarah Wexler, writer for Allure and InStyle, Jeannine Morris o f BeautySweetSpot.com, and Lauren Cosenza of Divalicious.com. Leading up to September, the site’s featured material will expand to incorporate video and additional viral content linking back to Makeup.com’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. “We’re going to cover beauty for women in a way that no other site can, using a unique mix of professional journalists and influential bloggers who will go straight to the source— professional makeup artists, hairstylists and dermatologists—to offer a personality-packed look at beauty how-to’s, trends and news,” said ■CW Jackson-Cannady.
is quickly raising international awareness with an aggressive growth plan for the brand. The fragrance, a sensual, floral chypre created by Fragrance Resources’ perfumer Steve DeMercado, opens with top notes of rum absolute and osmanthus nectar, a rare Chinese flower with a luscious scent. Bulgarian white rose contrasts with rich notes of leather and delicate jasmine to create an alluring signature in the middle, and base notes of vanilla, patchouli, and warm amber Brazil mix with creamy musk to linger on the skin. “Vince Camuto will be a polished, feminine fragrance that is rich, sensual and effortlessly chic,” said Camuto. “It captures the essence of the modern American woman’s lifestyle—independent and confident, and accessible, yet luxurious.” To create the packaging and bottle designs, Camuto Group collaborated with Parlux Fragrances. Using gold detail, the delicate outline of the Camuto family crest surrounds the cap and appears on a ribboned medallion adorning the façade of the bottle. On the carton, a hot pink seal also features the motif of the crest, which “is meant to pledge quality to

SPOTLIGHT ON… GAIL GORDON
Cosmetic World recently sat down with Gail Gordon , chief m e rch a n d i s i n g officer of Perfumania, to hear her thoughts on her new responsibilities a n d s t ra t e g i e s moving forward. CW: In a fragrance-challenged retail environment, how can Perfumania do more to create a customer-friendly shopping experience? GG: We are already in the process of upgrading the shopping experience from an aesthetic standpoint. Service has and will continue to be an area where we stand apart from all our competitors. A large percentage of our Consultants are certified by The Fragrance Foundation and proudly wear their pins. CW: Why should a customer go to Perfumania for fragrance purchases rather than other retailers? GG: The customer will find the broadest assortment, extraordinary service and a shopping environment that is nice but is being upgraded. In addition, we feature a special value or savings on many of our brands. CW: Are there plans to expand online fragrance sales? GG: Our online business has been growing exponentially, and we foresee this rate of growth to continue. CW: Do you have goals set for your first year? GG: My goals are to continue with t h e e vo l u t i o n a n d u p g ra d e o f the stores that has transpired over the last five years…and more to ■CW come! 184

as few products as possible— stemmed from his desire to create a complete, balanced skin diet for a modern, active consumer.
“Our new Luxury Concentrate Collection is the first and only collection of treatment products containing BioFusion-3S, 22 USDA certified organic extracts, Juvinity and Matrixyl Synth’6,” said Kaplan. “More benefits, means more ingredients.” BioFusion-3S, an exclusive complex of three plant stem cells, helps to increase skin’s stem cell vitality and
capacity to regenerate new collagen, while protecting against photo-aging by building up skin’s UV-tolerance. Juvinity, a newly patented antioxidant based on a 2009 Nobel Prize winning discovery, delays the aging of skin cells and forces existing skin cells to act as younger cells. Matrixyl Synth’6 is a newly patented peptide clinically proven to stimulate all six elements of collagen synthesis for cellular rejuvenation within the dermal matrix, and not just on top of the skin. The collection includes Cellular Rejuvenating Concentrate ($295.00), Daily Moisture SPF 30 Concentrate ($185.00), Night Replenishment Concentrate ($225.00) and Intense Eye Concentrate ($135.00). The new collection is available at select Neiman Marcus stores and kaplanmd.com, and will be launching at Bergdorf Goodman in the fall. ■CW

content for luxury and fashion brands— to reintroduce the brand’s e-commerce website, narscosmetics.com. “This relaunch is a significant step in our strong commitment to evolving the overall digital brand presence for NARS,” said Louis Desazars, CEO of NARS Cosmetics. “We felt strongly that we needed to create a comprehensive online experience that was truly reflective of the brand heritage, coupled with a high-impact luxury shopping environment.” The new site, inspired by the brand’s strong ties to fashion, embodies an elevated tone and feel, with modern design elements that aim to engage users with a technically creative experience. Features include exclusive application tips, product suggestions, how-to guides and expert insight from François Nars, the brand’s founder and creative director. “A dedicated section of the site called ‘World of NARS’ provides a rich behind-the-brand experience with François’ story, his private island, NARS on the runway, product name inspirations, NARS makeup stylists and a deeper look behind the
brand,” said Barbara Calcagni, vice president of global marketing for NARS Cosmetics. “In terms of design, the stylized swatches are the most accurate online representation of color cosmetics currently available, and truly reveal the richness and texture of NARS’ shades.”
Additionally, the site will offer a faster, more streamlined check-out process, optional credit card storage, an auto-replenish option and iPhone/ iPad compatibility to provide a higher level of customer service. The NARS “wardrobing concept” also comes to life on the new site, allowing visitors to create personalized makeup wardrobes for any occasion, compare products and share their favorite looks with friends. ■CW july 25, 2011
