Born in 1969, she has taken the world by storm and created her own paradise. Becoming a “fly girl” (dancer), on the TV comedy show, “In Living Color” and a backup dancer for Janet Jackson helped propel her into the spotlight.

Starring in the 1997 movie, ” Selena”, and many other movies such as, ” Monster-in Law” and by selling 53 million records worldwide brought Lopez into a national arena. J. Lo’s beauty is evident in the perfumes she helped create-Glow, Miami Glow, Live, Luxe. Deseo, her fifth and newest creation takes J.Lo back to her Latino roots. Her newest creation is set for release in February of 2008, and it has a combination of jasmine, geranium flower, orange blossom, freesia, and sensual musks.

She knows everything about designer shoes. Playing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker became a household name. Starring in Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992 and continually being in movies throughout her career has helped SJP become a woman almost every young woman wants to be.

Lovely embodies the soul of a modern woman. It has a fragrance infused with lavender, orchid, and musk.

Covet is infused with Sicilian lemon, lavender, chocolate, and muget.
Incredibly sweet, sexy gorgeous Jessica Simpson created her own line of Dessert Beauty body products that are so lip smacking good that as Jessica says about Dessert Beauty “they are good enough to eat.” Current boyfriend Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, Tony Romo, gets to kiss the lip gloss right off of Jessica’s lips with her Kissable collection of lip-glosses.
