Chanel reinvents N° 5

In 1921, Ernest Beaux created the No° 5 Parfum for Mademoiselle Chanel. In 1924, the N° 5 Eau de Toilette was launched. In 1986, Jacques Polge introduced the N° 5 Eau de Parfum. This year, N° 5 reinvents itself as Eau Premiere.

Eau Premiere is a rediscovery of the eternal mystery surrounding the timeless fragrance N° 5. Just as it was for the first time, the freshness of an abstract bouquet is haloed with dew. Just as it was for the first time, young buds blossom on every branch, creating the silky passage that leads to the heart of a luminous garden. There, the melody of rose and jasmine responds to the ylang-ylang from the Comoros.

Chanel is available at Rustan’s.

Finesse tips for beautiful hair

To help us have beautiful hair all through the year, hairpedia.com suggests the following tips:

• Drink lots of water. Hydrating yourself is one of the most natural ways experts say can keep hair moisturized, healthy, and shiny. Just keep up the habit of drinking eight glasses of water a day and you are all set.

When you are starting to have split ends, a good conditioner can help combat it. Use Finesse Moisturizing Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner, which gently cleanse dry fragile hair by infusing each hair cuticle with nourishing moisture, leaving it lustrously smooth, shiny, and strong.

• Never rub your hair with a towel after a bath. The static electricity produced by this action can actually damage hair. To avoid this, just press or scrunch the towel until hair is dry enough. But if you really can’t avoid this, keep hair strong and healthy by using Finesse Enhancing Shampoo as it cleans away buildup while its silk and soy protein formula restores the cuticle, enhancing hair’s natural softness and shine. Your hair is left feeling healthy and full of bounce. Apply Finesse Enhancing Conditioner as well to keep your healthy hair in tip-top shape. The silk and soy protein formula used in Finesse Enhancing Conditioner smoothens and strengthens the cuticle of every strand, keeping hair manageable and radiant.

Finesse is available at all leading department stores, supermarkets, and drugstores nationwide.
