Folded and pleating shoulder detail. 3/4 length sleeves. Scoop neck.

Super fine 100% cotton is whisper light and sleekly fitted, with exposed seaming detailing and delicate shell buttons accenting one shoulder. Great for layering, yet polished enough to go it alone.

This Sex and the City inspired belt has been one of our best selling exclusives. Carrie sported the studded accessory countless times throughout the movie.

Flippy, flirty, and feminine, the softly textured fit and flare skirt shimmers subtly, shaped with asymmetrical seaming and a sense of movement at the hemline

Add a little "Wit. Wisdom. Serious Fun." to your ensemble with this satire tote by Jessica Kagan. 100% cotton canvas with inside pocket.

The classic wide leg pant, glamorous in its tailored simplicity, is rendered in subtly gleaming, shadow-striped sateen, with wide waistband and front hook and bar closure and clean, no pocket likes for the sleekest silhouette.

Softly tailored in a subtly shimmery midnight black, the romantic blouse blooms with rows of raw-edged pleated ruffles and antique filigree buttons down the front placket.

Gold and silver plated multi-layer chain and crystal necklace with custom magnet closure.

Leather Jacket with rivet detailing in black.

Edward Bess Exclusives, Special Offers & An Extra 10% Off at Zuneta!

Glamutante — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:33:46 -0700

EDWARD BESS - LIP WARDROBE

Lip Wardrobe was the first 'product' that Edward launched with, back in 2006, and has since become a signature part of his collection.
This is the ideal gift for the beauty addict, the woman who has it all or the woman with impeccable taste!

The lip wardrobe is a range of 10 lipsticks and 5 lip glosses, which all come beautifully packaged in a sleek black box. The box itself comes in a high quality, thick satin bag. The entire gift comes in a sophisticated Edward Bess gift box.
Special Offer Price £310.00

EDWARD BESS - PRIVATE EYE

This is the Lip Wardrobe's little sister.
Edward has combined 5 of his best selling eye shadows with his two shades of Pure Impact Mascara. The result is a beautiful, sleek black box that will fulfill all your 'eye' needs. With shades ranging from everyday naturals through to smokier, more impactful options, your needs are perfectly catered for.
The mascara lengthens the lashes and comes in both a beautiful dark brown, ideal for day time, and a deep black - guaranteed to make your lashes stand out come the evening.
Special Offer Price £175.00

EDWARD BESS - ULTRA LUMINOUS BRONZER

Bronzers can be a disaster if they are too orange or if the powder isn't finely milled.
The Edward Bess bronzers are designed to be extremely natural once applied. The end-look is lovely and subtle. A gentle sun-kissed vibe.
We love the sleek compact and the fabulous formula.

Edward says the following about his bronzers:
'Inspired by the endless sunsets of an exotic island escape. Capture the natural glow of skin bathed in warm sunlight. Long-lasting, ultra fine powder delivers sheer luminosity.
Special Offer Price £36.00

EDWARD BESS - ULTRA SLICK LIPSTICK

This is the product that shot Edward Bess to fame.
His super creamy lipsticks are not only moisturising and hydrating, they are an absolute pleasure to apply. Sadly, you won't be reapplying too often as the colour also lasts for a decent chunk of the day.

This is what Edward has to say about his lipsticks:
'Seduce the curves of your lips with irresistible, radiant color. Creamy, long-wearing formula delivers superior hydration. Smoothes and shapes with an exclusive treatment for a sensual pout'.
Special Offer Price £24.01

EDWARD BESS - PLATINUM CONCEALER

These concealers come in a clever little magnetic tube, ensuring that they click closed easily. The formula is soft and blendable, making it easy to apply with your finger.

All the shades are neutral/yellow based so that they counteract any redness you may have with your blemishes. They also cancel out any darkness from the under eye area.
Special Offer Price £30.00

EDWARD BESS - PURE IMPACT MASCARA

Mascara addict? Then you need this in your collection.
The first thing you will notice about the mascara is how luxurious the packaging feels. The vial has some weight to it, making the product feel very premium. Almost like it's made out of metal.

The fibre brush captures each and every lash, ensuring application is even.
The formula is lengthening, stretching each lash to it's full potential.
A definite must for any beauty regamine.
Special Offer Price £24.00

EDWARD BESS - LUXURY FACE BRUSH

Special Offer Price £44.00

EDWARD BESS - LUXURY EYE BRUSH

Special Offer Price £32.00

Investing in good brushes is always worth it. As with the rest of his collection, Edward has kept his collection edited with only a luxury face brush and a luxury eye brush. The majority of his collection has been designed to be easily applyable with your fingers.

This is what Edward says about his brushes:
'Experience ultimate luxury for the face. Perfectly designed to define and accentuate. Expertly crafted with hand-shaped, natural bristles set in sleek weighted metal for superb application. Presented in a signature black box'.

EDWARD BESS - ULTRA LUMINOUS EYESHADOW

Edward is a big champion of the smokey eye. This range of eyeshadows is nice and simple, with 6 wearable shades ranging from the Nude base that can be used as a primer or a little 'pick-me up' for when your popping out to the shops, through to the darker and more dramatic browns and greys.
The formula is soft and buttery, easy to blend and easy to apply.
Special Offer Price £22.00

EDWARD BESS - DEEP SHINE LIP GLOSS

The super impactful packaging and Edward Bess branding make these lip glosses hugely appealing. The shades go from everyday nudes through to more lively reds and pinks.

Here's what Edward has to say about his lip glosses:
'Lavish your lips with seductive, brilliant color. Luminous finish provides radiance and hydration to the lips. Nourishes and protects with an exclusive treatment to ensure fullness'.
Special Offer Price £22.00

Madly in Love with Designer Penny Auctions (possibly more addictive than sample sales)!

Glamutante — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:18:21 -0700

It's true! We can't get enough of auctions featuring 100% authentic (guaranteed) Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada bags for up to 95% Off.

Wondering how that's possible? Well, it really quite genius.

Membership is absolutely free and most penny auction sites also offer up to five free bids when you join, to get started. In order to bid on Neiman Marcus, Saks and Barneys gift cards (we won a $200 Nordstrom gift card for 1.03!) or hot bags and accessories from designers such as Chanel or Marc Jacobs, you must buy bids.

After you purchase the desired amount (starting at around $20, PayPal accepted), you can then proceed to place bids on any auction. The clock will count down and members have a chance to bid against each other until someone wins.

In order to be fair and ensure that all members have a chance to win, most designer penny auctions sites designate certain auctions as 'beginner only'. Meaning, only members who have not yet won an auction may bid. There is also a daily or weekly win limit. It can be so easy to win that they want to make sure everyone has a chance. I personally seem to reach my limit every time I log on. Every time I win, I always share the auction with friends on Facebook and earn extra bids. Want even more? You can upload a video, bragging about the new Louis Vuitton bag you won for $11 (as Angela, our intern did)!

It seems that more and more penny auction sites are popping up all the time. As experienced shoppers (and now bidders/ winners) we're recommending that you stick to our top 4 for now.

#1. Oohilove

(Use code 'ILOVE2' for 2 Free bids)

#2. Lucky Chic

#3. Fashion Bay

#4 Luxe Win

(5 Free bids using invitation link above)
