Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift: Ivanka Trump’s New Perfume

May 11, 2013 @ 12:00 pm

The most meaningful Mother’s Day presents are the ones that show mom how well you know her, but what if you’re short on time? Ivanka Trump has the perfect solution: Perfume. “Fragrance is the best Mother’s Day gift! It’s very personal, and I think we all know our mothers on that level, so it’s something we can buy for them to show that,” she told us at the New York City launch of her scent. “It’s also a great luxury, it’s something that’s truly about beauty and feeling good about yourself. Fragrance makes you feel pretty, powerful, and sexy!” Since fragrance has such close ties to memory, keep in mind the perfumes she favors, and stick to that specific scent family. But if you’re stuck, Trump’s eponymous blend of jasmine, rose, and peach blossom holds an elegant aroma she’s sure to love. Pick it up for $78 at lordandtaylor.com .

How to Temporarily Switch Your Highlights Color Like Kerry Washington

May 10, 2013 @ 2:45 pm

That was fast! Only days after sporting dark purple streaks at the Met Ball, Kerry Washington stepped out in gorgeous caramel highlights at the Los Angeles premiere of her new flick, Peeples. Since the change happened so quickly, we’re thinking that the violet additions were created by swiping a temporary hair color over her tawny highlights. Try out the look yourself by spritzing Rita Hazan’s Pop Color ($18; sephora.com) onto individual pieces, or tint small sections using a liquid version like Streekers ($12; ulta.com). Or, you could opt for clip-in pieces like HairUWear’s ($10; ulta.com) so you can switch things up depending on your mood.
