Lise Watier has launched a new fragrance exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart called Something Sweet (Eau de Toilette Spray 50ml/$59 CAD). Now typically if you threw the terms sweet and gourmand at me in reference to a perfume my instinctive reaction would be to gag. I don’t do heavy “sweet” scents. Lise Watier Something Sweet however, was a pleasant surprise. While it does have the sweet element, it is also light and refreshing at the same time. In fact it is quite delightful!

Something Sweet is the cheerful new scent that captures a gourmand’s embrace of youthful vitality. With its sparkling top notes of Champagne bubbles and Rainbow Sorbet, refreshing accents of Melon Fizz and Red Fruit, and a delectable base of Juicy Raspberry and Chocolate Mousse, Something Sweet is distinctive and playful.

As part of the release there are also three limited edition lip balm pots. I have the Yummy Lip Balm (9g/$12.50 CAD) in Berries. It is a light feeling balm with a sweet berry scent and flavour. It has a very, very fine shimmer that gives just a hint of glow to the lips. The Yummy Lip Balm is also available in Chocolate and Pistachio. I would love to see what the Pistachio version is like!

These should be available now at Shoppers Drug Mart. There will also be a Something Sweet Roll-On (10ml/$25 CAD) being released in August 2013.

Shoppers Drug Mart and Lise Watier are also running a really cool contest as part of the Something Sweet release. Lise Watier is on a nationwide search for a young woman who embodies the delectably light-hearted spirit of Something Sweet. To participate simply snap a pic of yourself in the Something Sweet environment at your favourite Shoppers Drug Mart and post it to Instagram (or submit directly). You can register at somethingsweet.lisewatier.com. The five girls with the most votes will be declared finalists and win a prize valued at $1,000 each. From the five finalists they will select an ambassador of Something Sweet and she will be awarded a 6-month contract as the face of the fragrance!

Everyone Deserves Clean, Safe Drinking Water! Support the Giorgio Armani Acqua for Life Campaign!

March 28, 2013 By Leave a Comment

AcquaforLife

March 22nd was World Water Day. I shared with you Biotherm’s Bottle a Day Challenge last week. I hope you joined me! Giorgio Armani takes World Water Day to heart with the Acqua for Life project. Water is an essential condition for sustainable development no matter where you are in this world. Unfortunately, the access to clean and safe supply of water that we are so accustomed to and take so easily for granted is a critical challenge for many countries in this world. The Giorgio Armani Acqua for Life (www.acquaforlifechallenge.org) campaign is targeting two countries that are facing great difficulty in providing access to a supply of clean water; Ghana and Bolivia.

Can you imagine your children missing hours of schooling and risking their lives to travel on long trips to access dirty, and animal-soiled water sources?  The aim of the Acqua for Life project is to develop and infrastructure that supplies safe drinking water within villages, and directly into their schools, to improve the sanitary for schoolchildren and everyone in the community.  4,000 children die worldwide each day from preventable water-related diseases. That is something that just should not be happening!

Their are two ways you can support this amazing and vital campaign:

  • By liking their Facebook page, 50 litres of water are automatically donated to the cause.
  • Purchase one of Giorgio Armani’s specially packaged water themed scents, Acqua di Giò and Acqua di Gioia, and 100L of safe drinking water will be donated.

Lets make 2013 the year of even greater results! 52 million litres of drinking water were collected in 2012, overtaking the 43 million litres reached in 2011, bringing the total to 95 million litres provided to Ghana and Bolivia. In Bolivia, a total of 9 boreholes and 7 rainwater harvesting systems were built in 12 isolated Bolivian villages and the construction of boreholes, hand-dug wells and rainwater harvesting systems is being completed in 12 communities in Ghana. The equipment will provide safe drinking water for about 15 years!

Please help raise awareness for this great cause by sharing the information on Twitter with the hashtag #AcquaforLife2013.
