Get Your Own Look!
It’s not often that I have a bellyache about my beloved beauty business, but I think today I must. This post is tantamount to a virtual scream into the pillow of profound frustration. Why must we always “Get The Look or Get The Hair of Missy Moo” or any one of the many millions of beautiful people in our beautiFULL world? What’s the matter with getting our own gorgeous look? And your look is gorgeous too.
I am crazed today about this often bantered about slogan of “get this and get that”, because I feel it quite cavalierly bypasses our own innate beauty. Why not get your own look and…Work It Baby!? This is a far better slogan that shows an appreciation for our own infinite beauty and doesn’t prey on insecurities. The great thing about our beautiFULL world is that you are what make it so beautiful. Like it or not Lovely Ones…You Are Beautiful and it’s about time you realized it, got your own look and worked it!

A Little Attitude Adjustment Goes A Long Way.
“When you feel good about yourself, others will feel good about you too.”
-Jake Steinfeld
Generosity Of Spirit.
“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” -Lao Tzu
Innately Chic.
Chloé’s newly unveiled signature scent undoubtably captures the innately chic, confident, and free spirited sensibility of the entrancingly feminine. While continuing to allure, Robertet perfumers, Michel Almairac and Almandine Marie, infused this luxurious scent with iconic Chloé notes of rose petals, enhanced by lychee, freesia, pink peony, sensuous magnolia and lily of the valley. Chloé fuses classic elements with fresh ideas and an airy sweetness accented with the most perfect woody strength. The honey notes in this gorgeously reinvented yet warmly reminiscent fragrance bring smoothness and comfort, while cedarwood and amber inspire a seductive and ever so cogent spiritedness.
The beautiful Chloé flacon is the creation of Patrick Veillet, who drew on the intricate detail of the sleeve of a Chloé blouse as the inspiration for the delicately pleated glass walls of the square flacon. The oval cap plays off the strong lines while the silver collar adds a nostalgic feel. Even the finishing touch of a loosely knotted petal-coloured ribbon speaks to the definitive elegance and élan of The House of Chloé.
The essential Chloé Fragrance Collection:
- Eau De Parfum 30 ml
- Eau De Parfum 50 ml
- Eau De Parfum 75 ml
- Perfumed Body Lotion 200 ml
- Perfumed Shower Gel 200 ml
Just divine!
