podcast!!: Live Like a Geisha, with Fresh's Memoirs of a Geisha Collection
Hi! Stevie here from Fashiontribes.com. Sorry to be so late but I have had MASSIVE computer problems all week. I didn’t dare chance a podcast till I was fairly sure to get the ‘puter back in order.
New new NEW from FRESH is the Memoirs of a Geisha collection — a tie-in with the movie of the same name. It definitely lives up to the movie and more! You will love this collection and gifting pieces of it to others for holiday will solve a multitude of shopping problems
As a cosmetic collection, FRESH features 2 different products:
The Beauty Face Palette has a lovely illuminating cream to spread across the face– it creates a gleam to wear just across cheekbones and brow bones or to use under sheer makeup. The middle color is a gentle sheer rose blush that’s phenomenal to create a soft glowing blush. The rich berry tone is a Gloss Absolute that’s incredibly glossy and lush on the lips. ($38.00)
The Shimmer Powder with Crushed Pearl is so gorgeous– you might not give this away. It’s dusted on face , shoulders, decolletage or even arms to create a soft luminscent glow/shimmer similar to the luster on a pearl It’s lightly scented and is super silky to the touch. GORGEOUS!!($38.00)
Bath products have always been a large part of the FRESH product line and this collection is no different. The Fresh Sake Bath is a different take from their other SAKE BATH product. This one is mixed with genuine sake as well as other botanicals, minerals and anti-oxidants to create a softening, soothing and reviving experience–much like the Japanese baths where they have used sake in the bath for centuries. ($42.00)
The Memoirs of a Geisha Soap Set is a great deal. Featured in collectible packing especially for the movie, this pair of shea butter soaps are large, beautifully wrapped and priced under $20.00. A real bargain in my book for quality soaps. ($19.50)
There are a number of gift sets for the Memoirs of a Geisha collection– in various configurations.
The Cherry Blossom Set is a royal gift to give–or receive. With a full sized EDP of the Fresh Memoirs of a Geisha fragrance along with the Bath with Sake and the Petal Face Masque. ($38.00) It’s packaged in a collectible box too.
The Dance with a Geisha set features the Bath with Sake, Rice Face Wash and a smaller bottle of the EDP . It’s packed up and ready to give! ($48.00)
The killer gift box is the Kyoto Empress Gift Set. This stunning gift has a full size EDP of the Memoirs of a Geisha fragrance, Sake Bath, Rice Face Wash and Flower Petal Masque packaged in an exquisite box. (personally I am a sucker for great packaging!)
Wondering when I was going to talk about the fragrance and the fragrance? NOW is the time:
The Rice Face Wash is a luscious product that is amazing to the skin. Superfine rice starch and powdered rice bran are transformed in to a creamy emulsion with purifying and regenerative actions
when mixed with water in the palm of the hand. Extracts of white lily, camellia and honeysuckle stimulate and soften skin. Apricot kernel and sunflower seed oils help to restore elasticity. Green tea extract provides potent antioxidants. Peach fruit extract restores suppleness to dry skin while aloe leaf extract soothes inflammation. ($32.00)
The Flower Petal Face Masque is a luxurious treat featuring the exotic scent sheer jasmine flower, white peach and rose absolute. Crushed hibiscus and peony flower petals to help skin retain moisture and tighten pores. Anti-inflammatory chamomile flower extract soothes the skin, while green tea extract stimulates and protects. Aloe leaf extract and jojoba seed oils to nourish and moisturize
An advanced micro micro-algae extract (porphyridium cruentum) helps skin retain its optimal moisture levels and protects against dehydration. It’s sheer perfection for your skin! ($35.00)
Last but most certainly not least is one of my most favorite products in this collection. I use the Memoirs of a Geisha Eau de Parfum almost daily. It’s amazing: light, delicate, sparkling and yet distinctly floral. It captures the myterious sensuality of geisha by highlighting the warmth of the wearer’s skin with a scent that is understated, exotic and completely sensual. You will WANT this fragrance– he will love it! ($48.00)
Notes:
Top: langsat fruit, bergamot, mandarin
Heart: white peach, jasmine flower, rose absolute
Base: iris absolute, musk, white sandalwood
It also comes in a smaller 15ml purse spray as well.
See– it was worth waiting for. This is an amazing colletion. Prepare yourself for the movie launch and snag a couple of these products and immerse yourself in Japanese tradition!
