New Marc Jacob Splashes for 2010

Marc Jacob releases a few splash fragrances every year. Often they have are fruit based themes. Not being a huge perfume lover, I tend to look forward to them because they usually are light fresh scents. This year the new Marc Jacobs Splash scents are: Pomegranate, Apple, and Biscotti.

Biscotti???? That is an odd one! I haven’t smelled it yet so I can’t say much about it. I’ll try to find it next week to see if it really smells like Italian cookies. Since Biscotti are traditionally almond flavored, I imagine that will be a focus of the scent. Have you tried it? If so let us know!

We Have Joined The Open Sky Project!

I am very pleased to announce that Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss have joined OpenSky as a shopkeeper!

OpenSky connects readers and shopper with experts and the products they love and use. At OpenSky, you can browse the shops of experts in fields such as beauty, cooking, gardening, health and fitness, fishing, and more. These expert “shopkeepers” recommend and stock their favorite items—items that they can stand behind because they truly love and highly recommend them. So, you as a shopper can avoid wading through the junk and find the gems by browsing the OpenSky shops. It is a great concept, and I am very excited to become part of it.

Shopping at OpenSky is also a great experience. Many shopkeepers provide additional reviews and information about the items that they stock, and some provide video demonstrations of the products. Shipping is often free under various promotions, returns are easy, and you can trust that every product is there because it is special to the shopkeeper. I have already been eyeing the shops there myself, especially in the food and garden sections. There are some really neat items there!

My focus with my OpenSky shop is to provide my absolute favorite products and items that are unique and interesting. There won’t be the everyday drugstore lip gloss there, instead, I’ll offer you something like my all time favorite tube gloss, Murad Pomegranate Energizing Lip Gloss SPF 15, or my go-to fragrance Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash, which you can’t run out and grab at the nearest store.

Open Sky is a fun site and it provides a unique shopping experience. Please come and check it out! You can view my own shop here: Beauty and Fashion Tech on OpenSky.

Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash

Update! through March 9, 2010 get 30% the already well priced Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash in my Open sky shop. Click here to go to my OpenSky Cucumber Splash product page and use coupon code 30jacobs at checkout.

Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash is back! I adore this fragrance. You see, I am not much of a perfume person. I don’t care for most of them, unless they have a very natural and clean smell.

Marc Jacobs cucumber splash is one of those that I really like. This fragrance is light (it is labeled as a “splash”) and while I don’t know that it really smells like cucumber, it has a fresh, clean fragrance that seems natural to me. This is a great scent for everyday wear and for outdoor casual activities.

I also must add that I have had more compliments wearing Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash than I have had with any other fragrance. Actually, I don’t think I have gotten many compliments at all on other perfumes, but cucumber splash has drawn good remarks on multiple occasions.

Another one I really like is Marc Jacobs Grapefruit Splash , which also has a fresh and light citrus oriented fragrance, although it seems slightly more perfumed to me.

These tend to be limited edition (the first cucumber splash was out two years ago for only a short time). So if you want one, procrastination isn’t a good idea! I do note, however that both seem to be sticking around this time, so maybe they are now here to stay.

I like this fragrance so much that I added it to Beauty and Fashion Tech on Open Sky. If you are not familiar with OpenSky, take a look. Experts in various fields recommend provide for sale their favorite, most unique, and/or interesting items. It can be a great way to find new high quality products.
