Dolce & Gabbana Fragrance Anthology
October 6, 2009 If you're a Dolce & Gabbana fan, you can now round out your runway ensemble with a fashionable scent from their new Fragrance Anthology collection. The names of the five unisex fragrances were inspired by tarot cards (1 Le Bateleur, 3 L'Imperatrice, 6 L'Amoureaux, 10 La Roue de la Fortune, and 18 La Lune) and each one is represented by an iconic model.
Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, Fernando Fernandes, Noah Mills and Tyson Ballou are the faces behind D&G's fragrance line.
Most of these are more on the feminine side, but I prefer 6 L'Amoureaux (The Lovers). The masculine notes (bergamot, juniper berry, pink pepper, cardamom, birch leaf, orris root, musk, and wood) is like catnip to me. It doesn't smell overwhelmingly woodsy as some of the other men's fragrance out there - perhaps it's lightened up so women can wear it easily.
If you do like florals, you might like the 10 La Roue de la Fortune (gardenia, jasmine, tuberrose) or 18 La Lune (lily, rose, tuberose). 3 L'Imperatrice is a bit fruitier with watermelon, kiwi and red currant, and 1 Le Bateleur is a sporty fragrance with watery cedar and vetiver.

I so want these Dana R satin pumps. It may be in black, but the ruffled side decoration and sexy feathers will turn heads all evening. They just scream 'Paris chic' to me.

And who can resist these Emma pumps? These sassy satin and patent leather heels are totally great on their own, but you can also get a custom pinwheel added to your shoes for that extra special accent.

For you American shopaholics, I've got great news. Vouelle just started selling their lovely shoes in the U.S.! If you're in the Las Vegas area, the In Step boutique inside the Wynn's Encore resort will carry some of their exclusive designs. Call them at 702-770-5490 for more info.

The facial features a patented HydraFacial machine that performs a really efficient surface exfoliation. The HydraPeel tip planes off the dead skin cells, revealing brighter and softer "baby" cells (don't worry, it won't hurt at all). The tip also flushes your skin with a special blend of antioxidant-infused fruit acids. A custom mask and additional protective serums are then applied, ensuring all pigmentation and anti-aging issues are addressed.
I haven't seen this type of exfoliating machine anywhere else, so I think they're the only ones that have this special treatment in the Bay Area. I couldn't believe how butter soft my skin is. This is as close to baby skin as I'm going to get!
This day spa is really a zen oasis sitting on the edge of the Presidio. They really emphasize wellness and holistic treatments to heal your body and soul. They even have a wellness coach to help you address your personal needs. How cool is that?
There is a special skin care package going on right now at SenSpa. The first 50 folks to book the new Polarity Peel will receive a free full-size bottle of the new SkinCeuticals Retexturizing Activator ($70 value). What a deal.
Another promotion, called the SenSpa Road to Recovery, is another sweet deal to think about. From now through September 30, when you enjoy 4 treatments (valued at a minimum of $110 each), you'll receive a SenSpa gift card worth $115. You don't need to pay for all 4 treatments up front - just pay as you go.
They're also hosting a 
The Antique Gold is a deep gold sparkle that will be a great base for all those evening looks. The Starry Night is a pretty navy blue sparkle that is pretty sheer - great for layering. It didn't slide, crease, or fade off one bit. You do need to apply it quickly before it dries off, otherwise it might be tricky to re-touch. You also need to be real diligent about cleaning the shadow off. It's super glittery, so make sure you use a good eye makeup remover.
I also really liked the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Caviar Ink. It's one of the smoother gel liners in the market, and it comes off pretty easily. I hate to admit it, but I like it better than the Shu Uemura painting liners. I also liked the matching Eye Liner Brush - it makes application so easy-peasy. I love drawing a thicker line, so this brush is perfect for it.

This line is aimed at fighting early wrinkles, so it's more for younger skin (ages 25-35) or those with relatively low levels of skin damage. The Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correcting Lotion SPF 15 provides a weightless texture that your skin will just drink up. It's so light I almost had to check if I'm actually wearing the lotion. This is ideal for oily skin, but it's suitable for all skin types.
The Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream also has shea butter to give an extra moisturizing oomph. I like the texture of this cream a bit better. This comes in three formulas: All Skin Types, Dry Skin, and Normal to Combination.

The hotel also provides in-room spa treatments (massages, body scrubs, reflexology and facials). All you have to do is throw on a robe, sit back and enjoy the pampering treatment. There's no need to walk to any spa treatment room outside. I got the Cheval Signature Massage and it was so relaxing I caught myself drifting off to dreamland.
The concierge was really accommodating. We arrived right before the huge dinner rush and she was able to score us last-minute reservations at the totally awesome
