After joining The estée Lauder Companies in 1977, Ms. breen said she yearned to continue the perfume legacy that Mrs. estée Lauder started in 1953.

Now overseeing 28 brands for North America, Ms. breen uses her innovation and creativity to energize her business. “I’m a fragrance fanatic and I keep learning,” she said. “Sometimes I even wear two a day.”

about: giving women confidence so they can unleash their full potential.

“every day we get to make someone feel better about their self,” Poccia said.

Reminiscing about her past, Ms. Price said, “I began making products in my kitchen… and being on HSN has been a catalyst for my success.”

Ms. Singer outlined some of the curve balls she has had thrown at her throughout her life, but stressed the need to embrace change and create your own destiny. “I’ve always believed the key to success is the ability to adapt,” Singer said.

Thanking her family for being her biggest fans, Ms. Pardo looked down from the stage at her eight-year-old daughter, Gina Li. “I promise you will never run out of pink sparkly lip gloss,” she said. “I think I know where I can find some.”

Throughout CeW’s 35 years, significant strides have been made by companies supporting women in the industry. This year, the first-ever Corporate empowerment for Women (C.e.W.) Award was created to acknowledge companies that develop and support programs contribut-ing to the advancement of women.

Susan Sweet, general manager of Neutrogena, accepted the award on behalf of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc.

Maybelline New York met with emmy Award winning designer Janie Bryant to talk about her

designs, tips and trends at their annual spring preview on September 21.

Known for her costume designs for television shows like Deadwood and Mad Men, Ms. bryant has played a huge role in bringing vintage pieces to contemporary clothing.

“Women in the 50s and 60s had to have the perfect

fit and tailored clothes,” bryant said. “That is the philosophy for cosmetics now. Women need makeup that fits them.”

Making note of important trends, Ms. bryant said she likes rosy pinks and corals for blush, which adds a nice pop of color to the face.

CITYSCENE

Beauty Scene, Macy’s biggest beauty event of

the fall season, brought together makeup artists, beauty editors, executives and shoppers for a cosmetics extravaganza on September 24.

Hosted by Linda Levy, vice president of marketing cosmetics and fragrances

for Macy’s, and Amy Keller Laird, beauty director for Allure, the event featured makeup artists’ demonstra-tions of the top 10 tips and techniques from cosmetic counters and runways using best-selling products.

Executives, editors, makeup artists and beauty lovers gathered at the launch of the Dior Beauty counter at Lord & Taylor

on october 1.

Brendan Hoffman, president and Ceo of Lord & Taylor, Terry Darland, president, North America, of Parfums Christian Dior and Barbara Zinn Moore, senior vice president of cosmetics and home for Lord & Taylor spoke with guests about the featured design aspects of the counter. Two major highlights of the new design are the fragrance bar, complete with brightly lit platforms for dual exposure, and the makeup station, which emulates the feeling of being in a back-stage fashion show type setting.

“It is an entire experience of luxury where the customer can get a real feel for the fashion and the makeup,” Hoffman said.

FIT’s Master’s Degree Program, Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing and Management (CFMM), celebrated

its 10th Anniversary at Guastavino’s in New York City on September 22. The event honored Marc Pritchard, global marketing and brand building officer for Procter & Gamble, and Linda Wells, editor in chief of Allure, for their support of the program and commitment to education.

“Happy 10th birthday to the FIT Master’s Program,” Wells said. “When you marry beauty with brains, that is a killer combination.”

replace traditional advertising, they serve as a necessary supplement to drive brand awareness and remain competitive in today’s dynamic envi-ronment,” said Noreen Dodge, senior vice president of marketing at elizabeth Arden.

In the future, this concept could potentially expand beyond fragrance into other areas such as makeup and skincare.

“At elizabeth A r d e n , w e always strive to deliver some-t h i n g t r u l y unique to the category, and A u g m e n t e d R e a l i t y h a s proven to be a

successful tool to increase brand aware-ness and viral activity,” Dodge said.

When readers visit LollipopBling.com, they can use the ad to virtually wear Mariah Carey’s ring, take photos of themselves in a branded billboard and even lick a virtual lollipop.

“The experience has allowed Mariah’s loyal fan base to interact with the brand in a fun and break-through way,” Dodge said.

Young people, specifically tweens and teens, are targeted with this type of advertising because of the wide-spread use of the Internet.

“Augmented Reality is a cutting edge technology which speaks directly to this demographic and allows them to engage with the brand beyond what is traditionally expected,” Dodge said.

Ms. Dodge also added that Mariah Carey always takes an authentic approach to her fragrances by incor-porating her life experience into all of her brands.

“Lollipop bling was a collection inspired by her husband Nick’s marriage proposal,” Dodge said. “As with all of her fragrance projects, Mariah was extremely involved from beginning to end.”

After months of recession, the beauty industry is back in business and the HBA Global Expo and Conference highlighted new concepts and ideas for consumers and businesses alike. Held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, the event took place on September 28-30 and featured over 600 exhibitors, a variety of seminars and a keynote presentation by Pamela Baxter, president and Ceo of LVMH Perfumes and Cosmetics North America.

Recounting her past career experi-ences, Ms. baxter focused on the risks she took along the way and the key lessons she learned. “I started behind the counter, learning how to interact with the cus tomer,” baxter said. “Now I am figuring out w h e r e b r a n d s belong and decid-ing distribution for that image. It is important to get cross-functional experience.”

S t ress ing the importance of good leadership, Ms. baxter pointed out that it is crucial for employers to find the best talent that they can. “We need to find people that are better than we are and let them flourish,” baxter said.

“We need to stay on top of what is happening out there,” baxter said. “Social media has changed the land-scape and the way communication happens.”

Christie Brinkley received HbA’s Positively beautiful Award for her philanthropic endeavors with the Smile Train.

P r o v i d i n g answers to this key q u e s t i o n , M r. Kre i tzman d i s -cussed the critical element of service at the counter. “Many women base

their decision on the service they receive,” Kreitzman said. “We don’t believe in discounting cosmetics, but we believe in pushing lots of promo-tions, extras and add-ons.”

LAUDER AND HURLEY BCAhas been traveling the globe to acquire support for The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.

With the help of Elizabeth Hurley, spokesmodel for estée Lauder and The bCA Campaign, more than 110 million Pink Ribbons have been distributed worldwide.

“Soon after I joined estée Lauder, I found out my maternal grandmother h a d d i e d o f breast cancer,” H u r l e y s a i d . “She was a victim of a time when no one told any-one about the disease.”

Mrs. Lauder’s approach to con-quering breast c a n c e r h a s become a phil-anthropic mis-s i o n d u r i n g today’s modern and fast-paced culture. The cam-paign, “Connect. Communicate. C o n q u e r . Prevent breast Cancer one Woman At A Time. The Pink Ribbon. Wear It. Share It” calls everyone to action worldwide.

It encourages women and men to connect with everyone they know and communicate the importance of breast health and early detection. And, Mrs. Lauder would like the support to conquer this disease once and for all.

“When I launched the campaign, breast cancer was only spoken about in whispers,” Lauder said. “eighteen years later, countless survivors, sup-porters, politicians and celebrities have joined us in our mission.”

To date, the campaign and its retail partners expect to have raised more than $45 million for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (bCRF),

a not- for-prof i t organization dedi-cated to funding clinical research and finding a cure in our lifetime.

S t rengthening partnerships to raise global awareness, Bloomingda le ’s a n n u a l “ P i n k ” c a m p a i g n h a s raised over $1.4 million for bCRF.

In order to gen-erate additional funding for bCRF, 14 estée Lauder b ra n d s j o i n e d together to contrib-ute 20 products to be sold throughout

october. estée Lauder will donate $500,000 in connection with the sales of its Pink Ribbon Collection to bCRF.

“There is a great deal of misinfor-mation about breast cancer,” Hurley said. “We need to connect with every woman we know—whether it be our mother, grandmother, sister, daughter or friend.”
