Escada Taj Sunset

This is not the first time that a major company has been inspired by India when developing a new fragrance, Kenzo and various other companies use Indian notes such as sandalwood and jasmines in their fragrances regularly. Escada Taj Sunset is a limited edition fragrance for 2011. As per Sephora, Escada is described as a scent of tropical sensuality, it opens with a burst of citrusy blood orange and the exotic, fruity aroma of the Alphonso mango—the first fragrance to capture this unique note. Next, floral and fruity heart notes emerge, including watery blossom, sweet primrose, and raspberry. The scent lingers on a sexy, beach-inspired base of coconut cream, musky notes, and sandalwood. This fragrance takes you on an exotic and sensual adventure, evoking a summer spent in Goa, the region in southern India known for seducing visitors with stunning beaches, white sand, and a feeling of relaxed warmth. The fragrance has notes of Alphonso Mango, Blood Orange, Watery Blossom, Sweet Primrose, Raspberry, Coconut Cream, Musk, Sandalwood. The bottle has a gorgeous henna-flower paying homage to India.

On the latest issue of Femina, Zarine Khan amped up the glam factor a couple of notches! Subhash Vaggal the make-up artist for the shoot said, "I was going for a warm and glowing monochromatic look, and really took my inspiration from the S/S '11 runways." One of the key components of the makeup? He blended NARS South Beach Multiple with orangey undertones onto Zarine's cheeks, and topped it off with NARS Orgasm Illuminator to make her skin glow from within.

Make-up Trend: Crimson Lips

On the latest issue of Verve, Sonam Kapoor shows us how to work crimson, almost black lips this winter. To get her look, apply a charcoal-silver eye shadow to your lids and contour with a matte black eye shadow ever so slightly. Make sure to blend the shadows well to avoid the eyes looking too heavy against the dark lips. Use a black liquid liner, rim the top lids, staying as close to the lashes as possible. Extend the lines up and out just past the outer corners, about 1/8 of an inch. To finish off, brush on a deep crimson lip stain over a base of lip balm and finish off with a clear coat of lip gloss.
