Bergdorf Beauty Fall Preview
Last month, I channeled my inner Blaire Wardorf and headed to Bergdorf Goodman for a lovely breakfast and sneak peek at some of the great beauty launches coming this fall! So many of the brands featured have been on my radar such as Bakel, Lancer and Illuminage but prior to this event I haven’t had a solid chance to speak to the brand representatives to get the 411. Many of the products featured below, some of which are Bergdorf exclusives are available now. Otherw, you’re going to just have to wait until the fall!
BAKEL – Bakel launched at Bergdorf’s in January. They are a Biotech line from Italy that has been in Europe for the past 9 years. They use 100% active ingredients and use no preservatives, silicone, fragrance, parabens. Derived from botanicals it’s an all vegan, organic certified line that uses no emulsifiers.

Tell @Bergdorfs: How do you Jason Wu + Meet the designer
I have such a strong appreciation for Jason Wu, he’s one of the few designers I’ve had the pleasure of following since attending his very first runway show in 2006. Since then Michelle Obama wore his gown for the presidential inauguration and the flood gates opened. Then came the Target line and now? Hopefully an expansion into home starting with Nest Fragrances Jason Wu Orchid Rain candle!
Isn’t it chic? In perfect Jason Wu fashion, the frame is adorned with a signature orchid-floral print inspired by his Spring 2012 runway collection. While the scent is unmistakably feminine, there’s a unisex appeal to the design that makes it fit for any shared spaces with your spouse or otherwise… The Orchid Rain candle, combines white orchid with nashi pear, pomegranate and goji berry to create an airy, fruity-floral scent that enhances any room both in fragrance and in aesthetic.
With that in mind, Bergdorf Goodman invites you to print a picture of it, cut it out and style it for your chance to win it!
The contest is open through June 13th. To enter, tweet @bergdorfs a picture of JASON WU Orchid Rain (using the DIY cut-out above) styled in your surroundings. . . the setting can be home, office, wherever you see fit – just remember to be really creative! They are looking for the five best submissions. When sharing your picture, be sure to tweet at @bergdorfs & use the hashtag #BGJasonWu. For complete details visit the Bergdorf blog or click HERE.
Meet Jason Wu & have your candle signed! Additionally, Bergdorf Goodman is hosting the designer for a meet and great on June 14 from 5pm – 6pm on the Beauty Level at 5th Avenue and 58th Street. If you would like to attend, RSVP at [email protected] OR by calling 212 872 8764.
As for how I styled this little marvel… In the bedroom.
NOTE: This candle is too pretty to just disregard after it’s burned out. Clean it out and re-use it as a holder! It can hold anything from a collection of markers or pens, hair elastics and bobby pins, jewelry and pins, loose change… the possibilities are endless!
The Nest Fragrance Jason Wu Orchid Rain Candle ($48) is available at BergdorfGoodman.com. Approximate burn time 45 hours.

Beauty Brief
Here are some headlines that caught my attention this month:
* Francois Nars launched his latest book 15×15 (only 1500 copies!). Get it while you can.
* This weekend, Bernard and Ruth Madoff’s government auction brought in over $1 Million. The proceeds will go toward reimbursing victims who lost their investments in the Madoff scam. PETA wanted Ruth Madoff’s furs to be donated to the homeless, to keep them warm this winter.
* Privately owned, highly regarded (just ask Prince Charles and First Lady Michelle Obama) fragrance brand Creed will open it’s first doors in the US on Madison Avenue in December.
* Tim Burton’s exhibit officially opens today (and will be up until April 26) at MoMA. Burton’s influence on film and art has had a heavy impact on the fashion industry. WWD reported last week the Dollywood trend for Spring 2010 is no doubt attributed in part to Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland premiering March 5, 2010. I’m so excited!
* Gossip Girl’s costume designer Eric Daman will launch his latest book, You Know You Want it: Style-Inspiration-Confidence, on December 15. Available on Amazon now to pre-order. You know what I want? That dress Serena wore to Rufus and Lilly’s wedding. Oh and Jenny’s sequence dress that she’s wearing in the group shot on their website, and-I’ll stop. I could play this game all day.
* James Franco joins the cast of General Hospital for 2 months. Drool!
* Kate Moss’s motto, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. Well she must feel great!
* Concerns/rumors of Sammy Sosa’s sudden change of skin tone being due to a skin infection or byproduct of alleged steroid use have been put to rest. The former Chicago Cubs slugger was reported saying “It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some.” Keep that cream away from me! Pictures HERE.
* After 25 years, Oprah is ending her run of the Oprah Winfrey show in 2011. But considering the debut of OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) slated to launch in 2011, perhaps a new talk show will be in the works.
* Tomorrow, November 23, Bergdorf Goodman unleashes their holiday window! You know where to find me.
