Celebrate Valentine’s Day With “Pretty Woman” Perfume

Posted by The Girls at BSW on 6th February 2010

BSW was on the scene this Thursday, February 4, to celebrate the welcoming of Barbara Orbison’s highly acclaimed perfume “Pretty Woman,” at the Whole Lotta Loving event at Apothia Fred Segal located on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood.

Apothia Fred Segal at Pretty Woman Event

Apothia Fred Segal at Pretty Woman Event

The beautiful Barbara Orbison had just walked the famous Hollywood Blvd. to receive a Star for her late husband Roy who is known world wide for his many hits like Pretty Woman, which is still just as hot today as it was when first released.  Barbara was glowing and felt that her fragrance (which she has been wearing for 20 years and just now decided to bottle it), said that the name suited her scent since she so strongly felt that “all women are beautiful on the inside and out.” Which of course is BSW’s motto, so Barbara and I were off and running into a deep conversation.

Barbara began to tell me how in her German family background the women were all known for creating fragrances and concocting things.  (another thing in common we had!) She explained that she would buy other fragrances but they were always missing a certain ingredient.  It took her decades to find the perfect mix of florals, crisp bergamot with rich notes of amber, patchouli and cedar. Every day some one would stop her to inquire “what scent she was wearing.” According to Barbara, “some women would actually hug me so they could get my scent onto themselves!”

I just loved talking to Barbara and felt inclined to tell her my parents love story…On June 19, 2010, our parents will be married 50 years! Our father still refers to our mother as his “pretty woman” and in her honor plays Roy’s famous song to her every day! When I told Barbara this she immediately insisted on giving me her late husband Roy Orbison’s “Definitive Collection” to celebrate their anniversary. This lady was truly the epitome of her fragrance!

Ella, Te-see & Barbara Orbison

Now I could go on about this woman but this post would be endless!  The gals at Apothia Fred Segal along with Barbara gave my 7 year old daughter Ella some roll on perfume which she has been wearing every day mind you, and gave one to her teacher Heather the very next day!  We’ve also been listening to Roy’s discs in the car and Ella knows all the words “thanks to poppy Jerry…”

Pretty Woman is currently available at:  Studio Beauty Mix at Fred Segal on Melrose and in Santa Monica, Ron Robinson Apothia, Korres in NY, Planet Blue, Private Edition in Nashville, Stanley Korshak in Dallas, Cos Bar in Aspen, Woodley and Bunny in Williamsburg, and The Peninsula Hotel in LA.  You can also purchase it at www.prettywomanperfume.com.

Remember girls, one spray of “Pretty Woman” will empower you, making you feel strong & confident all day long!

BSW will be giving away a bottle of “Pretty Woman” to celebrate Valentine’s Day and the beauty within all women next week.  So, please check in…:)

Not sure what to get that someone special for Valentine’s Day???  Well, no worries…BSW has a few suggestions that might take away some of the pressure.  Keep checking in since we will be featuring many products and ideas for the big V-day

top 10 valentine's day

Every girl/guy needs a good manicure kit that the professionals use.  Sometimes it’s easier to do our own mani/pedi’s and to be quite frank…cheaper:)  So, why not get The Manicure Salon Kit by Kiss.

Professional Manicure Salon Kit by Kiss

This manicure kit comes with nail scissors, nail brush, nail clipper, cuticle nipper, cuticle pusher & cleaner, 4-way buffer, nail file & manicure sticks. Let me tell you, this manicure kit is the bomb.  I used it the other day and gave myself the perfect pedicure! It’s only $9.99 and available at all major drug store chains & other mass retailers.  For more info visit Kiss.

Another great gift idea is Lauren Lukes Smokey Classics Palette. This single mom and entrepreneur started a youtube beauty site to teach women how to apply makeup.  Now she has her own line of cosmetics!!!

Lauren Luke's Smokey Classics

Lauren Luke's Smokey Classics

Lauren’s kits are available in:  my smokey classics, my luscious greens, my sultry blues, my vintage glams, & my fierce violets. Retails for $32.50 and are available at Sephora and Lauren Luke.

Lip Lights Ultra Shine Gloss

Lip Lights Ultra Shine Gloss

And how about a little added shine to say “I love you” or “you rock my world“…give the gift of Lip Lights Ultra Shine Gloss by Modelco. This glamour gloss has in-built lights & side mirrors so you can reapply all night long.  Also much easier to find in your clutch purse while you are out on the town dancing the night away.  This ultra-shiny, creamy gloss comes in pink sea shell, sienna sunset, coral, crystal dawn, indian summer, and summer nectar. It retails for $28 and is available at CVS Beauty 360, Henri Bendel NY, and Modelco.com.

happy shopping…
