Celebrity perfumes always enjoy fashionista’s great admiration thanks to their love towards their beloved icons. This time, it’s Eva Longoria’s turn to make her fans happy, as she is preparing to launch her second signature scent called EVAmour. It was back in 2010, when she released her first fragrance, Eva. EVAmour is more complex and bold than the previous scent of the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star, and it targets women trying to smell and feel seductive and sophisticated.

“I’m not used to something that is so layered, and the second one is pretty layered with some pink lady apple and red currant. The first fragrance is a little simpler,” she told WWD. “It is like when you start drinking wine. I started with white wine and have gone into the more complex, red wine. I am taking baby steps into the more complex notes.”
EVAmour has been created to reflect the real Longoria and it comes to celebrate the self-confident and sexy woman.
“You have different fragrances for different moods. If you are feeling seductive and sophisticated, wanting to go out and make a bolder statement, you wear the second one. If you are working around other people in an office, the first one might be more appropriate,” the actress explained.
Speaking about the reasons that made the gorgeous actress develop her own signature perfume, Eva said: “I have always been somewhat allergic to all perfumes and really wanted to create something that every woman could wear. So I decided to create my own fragrance that is light, fresh and unique. I think the scent of a woman is extremely sexy and this scent will prove that.”
“I wanted something clean and fresh. Something that smelled like you just got out of the shower. And that’s how I came up with the scent,’ explained the actress.
Developed by perfumer Annie Buzantian, EVAmour has a romantic and seductive floral – fruity ” musky character. The fragrance is composed of the juicy notes of bergamot blossom, pink lady apple and red currant that fall over tiger lily, rose, frangipani and pink peony representing the floral heart of the perfume. The bottom notes of the fragrance come to be pleasantly warm thanks to the woody and musky tones, amber and vanilla orchid.
“When we saw it [the perfume], we just fell in love with it. It really reflects who she is. It is very seductive, but there is also this playfulness to it that plays off her personality. The red colored bottle represents what she stands for in terms of women, power and amour. It all ties back to who she is, and I love when there is that deep connection between the fragrance and the person,” says Betsy Olum, general manager of beauty and merchandising strategy at HSN.
Eva Longoria’s EVAmour will be exclusively available at the Home Shopping Network (HSN) on March 29.

Lately vintage seems to have become the mainstream trend everywhere, both in fashion and makeup, and it manages to draw the attention of more and more women worldwide. One of the hottest trends in makeup is a retro, feminine look inspired by AMC’s American dramatic television series “Mad Men” created and produced by Matthew Weiner. Thus renowned beauty label Estée Lauder teamed up with Matthew Weiner to develop a special limited edition makeup line based on this new makeup craze. The result? An absolutely bewitching two-piece makeup collection that will make each and every woman look unique and charming. Composed of a glamorous cherry-red lipstick and a creamy blush, the exquisite Estée Lauder Mad Men makeup collection looks back to the legendary Estée Lauder ’60s collections for inspiration to get the chic, vintage designs of the products.

“Quite frankly, we’re crazy for the show. We’ve always felt like there’s a connection between Mad Men and the Estée Lauder brand and Estée herself; the sixties were our heyday as well,” says Jane Hertzmark Hudis, global brand president of Estée Lauder. Hertzmark Hudis also adds that they were interested in collaborating with Weiner because they could do it in “an authentic way. We were there in the sixties ‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√ë‚àö√Ü it’s not creating something inspired by the sixties; we have stuff from the sixties!”

Inspired by the Award Winning AMC Drama MadMen‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√´¬¨¬¢, this classic blush is light, creamy and easy to blend with a dewy, smooth and natural finish. It instantly manages to create the iconic rosy cheeks of the era of the movie: just a single touch and you’ll get sexy, healthy looking cheeks. Compact and carton of the blush are inspired by the famous Estée Lauder 60’s collections.
Estée Lauder Mad Men¬¨¬®‚àö√ú Collection Lipstick in Cherry
It’s not a problem now to get the same bold and sexy lips as spotted in Mad Men. With this glamorous lipstick in cherry you are sure to get the iconic red lips of the era. This limited edition lipstick will kiss your lips smoothly due to the cream satin finish, while its rich lipcolor will add a ladylike touch to your pout. The carton and case of the product again draw inspiration from the legendary Estée Lauder 60’s collections.
Speaking about the beautiful packaging, Jane Hertzmark Hudis stated: “The product and the packaging were inspired by a concept that we call ‘handbag elegance’ ‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√ë‚àö√Ü beautiful things you take out of your purse.”
Gorgeous model Constance Jablonski is the one featuring in the ad campaign for the new Estée Lauder Mad Men collection, looking absolutely chic and iconic of the ’60s retro style. Estée Lauder’s creative makeup director Tom Pecheux said: “The sixties basically had everything in the way of femininity,” adding that, “It’s the perfect balance between a forties contour and a healthy glow.”
Both the products featured in this special line will go on sale starting Match 18, just in time for the much-expected debut of the show’s fifth season scheduled for March 25. You can get the products exclusively on Estée Lauder and Bloomingdale’s Web sites. The great news is that another limited-edition collection from the movie’s sixth season is already in the works.
