FRAGRANCE:


• Commenters offer mixed reviews of Marc Jacobs Cucumber perfume. One says it smells like “cat piss,” while another calls it the first perfume she’s loved in years. Such a fine line there. [Beauty Addict]

• Thierry Mugler will launch a new limited-edition fragrance called Alien Eau Luminescente by early April. It’s a spin on their 2005 Alien fragrance. [Now Smell This]

SKIN:
• Benefit releases sheer facial tint ‘Talk To The Tan’ with the tagline “Who needs makeup when you’ve got tan-i-tude?” Oh, har! They claim it doesn’t make you orange, but the girl on the bottle looks, well, orange. [Beauty Reporter/Allure]

NAILS:
• The Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen polish colors are fun for spring, and affordable. Tunisian Sand, the color used in Reese’s show, is just $6 a bottle. [Bella Sugar]

• Nubar’s Passion Fruit Cuticle Oil is great for hydrating winter-dried cuticles. It also has Jojoba. [15 Minute Beauty]

MAKEUP:

• Goopy eyeshadow in the creases of your lids? Yes, it looks gross. But! Urban Decay’s Primer Potion ought to prevent it. [She Finds]
