On Friday afternoon I decided to visit and review Bite Beauty’s pop-up “Lip Lab” boutique in SoHo. I’ve always been curious about Bite’s lip color line (food-grade ingredients! shades named after different wine varietals!), but I usually find the atmosphere in Sephora too chaotic for any sustained browsing.

Have you read The Perfume Lover by Denyse Beaulieu? If you haven’t, and if you’re a perfume-lover yourself, you should seek it out.
Denyse will be visiting New York on the occasion of the United States publication of her book, and she will be signing copies at Aedes de Venustas on Friday, March 22nd. If you’re located in the New York City area and you’re interested in attending, you can send an RSVP e-mail to aedes@aedes.com.
You can also visit Denyse’s fragrance blog, Grain de Musc, for further information and related reading.
As you may know if you’ve ever read my perfume reviews and shopping reports on Now Smell This, I love rose fragrances and I love shopping at Aedes de Venustas in New York. Naturally, I’m looking forward to stopping by Aedes sometime between February 12th and 14th, to “experience an enchanting display of rare roses”—the shop is always decorated with the most beautiful floral arrangements, so this should be extra-special!—and to “get a taste of Genova’s old-world confectionary Pietro Romanengo’s rose drops.”
Aedes is also offering “complimentary floral gift wrap (a $19.50 value) with any purchase starting at $120,” so if you’re a New Yorker and you’re planning on giving someone perfume for Valentine’s Day, this is something good to know!
Aedes de Venustas is located at 9 Christopher Street in Manhattan; visit the Aedes website here.

I just received a promotional mailer for Barneys New York’s winter 2013 gift-with-purchase event. From February 13 through February 16, if you spend $200 in-store or online on cosmetics and fragrances, you’ll receive “a cosmetics bag filled with our favorites.”
This beauty bag offer is taking place at Barneys locations in New York (naturally), Beverly Hills, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Scottsdale, and Seattle.
Are you tempted to splurge on a fragrance or some fancy skincare that’s been on your wishlist for a while?
(If I learn anything about the contents of the gift bag—it’s usually a secret until the event actually begins—I’ll post an update!)
