This Fall Bond No. 9

 AW-Success_Bottle-Blue-Side

 

This Fall, Bond No. 9 is dropping all pretenses and selling MONEY! (Sort of.) Introducing our latest eau de parfum, Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York, with a $cent as $eductively $weet as a dollar sign.

Just like money, the scent is genderless — a warm and spicey gourmand.  And just like money, it lures and intoxicates all who give it a sniff.  Its spicey-citrussy top-notes — coriander, cardamom, mandarin, bergamot — lead into a throbbing heart of jasmine, tuberose, rose, plum and pimento that seques into an oriental base of vanilla, patchouli and amber. Retail: $220 for 100ml; $145.00 for 50ml. Release date October 1st, 2009.

 

 

 

My Review

The scent is genderless — a warm and spicey gourmand. And just like money, it lures and intoxicates all who give it a sniff. All though I am not a big fan of scents that have patchouli in them this one wasn’t overwelming like others I have smelled such as Gucci. For some reason I can smell anyone wearing anything containing patchouli and it makes me sick to my stomach weird. The bottle is oh so cute! Love this for fall

Who we are…

Jeffrey Lubell founded True Religion in 2002 with the intention of redefining premium denim. His vision was to make quality, American-made, authentic, timeless, great fitting, 1970’s inspired jeans wear, with a trendsetting appeal for today’s consumer.
 
Today, True Religion Brand Jeans is known not only for its denim, but also for its knit and woven sportswear, such as t-shirts, western shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants that all have that vintage feel.
 
True Religion’s commitment to perfect fit, timeless style and that hippie bohemian chic flair have solidified True Religion’s brand position as a leader in premium denim and casual sportswear globally.
 
While continuing to expand True Religion’s line of jeans and sportswear, the company most recently branched out into numerous licensed products such as Footwear, Headwear, Handbags, Swimwear, Eyewear, Hosiery, Socks, and Fragrance.
 
In addition to Licensing, True Religion aggressively rolled out its own branded retail stores across the United States, which have provided the company with a platform to showcase the entire breadth of the product offering.
 
True Religion is and always will be Timeless, Hippie, Bohemian, Chic.

The overall quality was fabulous, the way the jeans were perfectly torn in each area without looking tacky was impressive :)

The crystals on the shirt were of great quality and the cotton was super soft. I say True Religion is a great company who makes quality products!

    My Review T3 Feather Weight Hair Dryer

    Talk about being impressed I was ” blow away” I have fine hair however I have a lot of it. So blow drying my hair is a long process. Not with the bad boy. It takes only about five minutes now and my hair looks like I just spent $45.00 on a blow-out from a salon. I won’t lie the price tag is heafty will run you about $200.00 I say well worth it.

    My Review

    I already had a great T3 flat-iron that had more miles than greyhound. It was time to upgrade so I did. I decided to go with this model. It works like a dream. Again it has a price tag of $160.00.

    My experience

    I fell in love, quicker than I ever have with anything or anyone for that matter. The smell is breath-taking in so many ways.  The oil in the perfume sinks into the skin and leaves it soft as the finest silk. The smell of the gardina sticks with you all day. It’s light and heavy at the same time perfect for day or night. I don’t think I will ever wear another perfume in my life time. I have already informed my family that’s all I want for christmas, Birthdays and any other reason they feel I need gifts.

    A spcial note to Susan D. Ownes: The reason child has done so well is the amount of love you personally have put into this amazing scent. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. xoxo

    My Review

    This eye cream really works, I noticed today while driving home this morning sun blazing in my eyes that the skin under my eyes was glowing. I haven’t slept a full eight hours in a couple of years so I normally have very  tired looking eyes. My eye’s looked rested and ready for the day at 7am… The price tag is affordable as well..

     

    About

    clear_skin_complexion

     

    GliSODin® is a unique non-genetically modified melon extract naturally rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD), combined with wheat protein to protect its SOD activity within the intestinal cells. GliSODin was developed by Isocell Laboratories, based in Paris, France. Isocell Laboratories is a leading company in anti-aging medicine, clinical research, and dermatological advancement and is the owner of GliSODin’s two US patents.

    SOD, also known as the “Enzyme of Life”, catalyzes our natural antioxidant defense system, boosts immunity, and reduces accelerated aging. The production of SOD decreases with age, causing an increase in susceptibility to free radical damage, and thus makes GliSODin an essential supplement for the maintenance of good health and well-being. Oral administration of SOD without the protective barrier of gliadin has been proven ineffective. This is due to the deactivation in the stomach, causing the enzyme to lose its antioxidant capacity. However, studies have shown that GliSODin, which combines SOD from melon with gliadin, will temporarily protect the SOD during its passage through the gastro-intestinal tract to reach the small intestine for absorption.

    GliSODin Skin Nutrients was developed to provide the best internal support for skin vitality and health, and is supported by leading dermatologists and nutritionists. All of our products are carefully formulated with complementary nutraceuticals, natural isolates, vitamins, and minerals for an efficacious product line that enhances skin health and beauty, and supports medical aesthetic procedures.
