Sensational Selects for Little Ones (And Adults Who Love Them)

Now this is something to sing about! Miley Cyrus is now holds the coveted honor of being a part of the Barbie Signature Collector doll portfolio. The beloved artist, who most recently received her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, now has another bright edition in her life of a doll in her likeness that celebrates the transformative sound and cultural footprint she has made as a musician, actress and advocate for self-expression.

“Seeing my Barbie for the first time is a dream come true,” said the Grammy winner.  “We spent so much time really digging into the details. That’s something that wasn’t just important to me in designing the Barbie, but it’s also very important to my own creativity and the way that I represent myself. We did not miss any marks when it came down to the design of my doll from the look, the hair, the accessories, the makeup, and the structure. Every detail was purposeful, and we spent a lot of time perfecting her—not to be perfect, because that wouldn’t be representative of me, but to really get down to the details of this golden Burning Sun look.”

The Barbie Signature Miley Cyrus Collectible Doll will be available on Amazon, Walmart, Target and Mattel Creations.

Beauty Items That Delight

Astonish this season with the intriguing scent of Angel Blush. The Mugler Angel galaxy radiates in the atmosphere this summer when you gently spritz this on. The aura is divinely beautiful as is the perfume’s muse Hunter Schafer. A scent pattern of musky gourmand starts as the foundation which builds a solid house of exquisite embodiment around a delicate almond milk accord and creamy musk.

A sophisticated scent mingles with your being and creates a gentle cloud around you filled with sandalwood melts into Bourbon vanilla and the iconic patchouli signature. “With Angel Blush, our intention was to reinterpret gourmandise through intimacy and texture, creating a seamless gourmand signature that feels carnal yet refined,” says Master Perfumer Louise Turner.

Velvety luminosity is tender on the noise while the look of the brand radiates on your shelf. The iconic Angel talisman star is reimagined in a blush glow that is radiant, and celestial.  Your fragrance for the season and for years to come.

Crafted by the world-class perfumers at the Downy Fine Fragrance House, the line draws from the richness of the botanical world, translating the complexity of flowers, herbs, and citrus into fine fragrance for fabric.

“Scent and fashion have always been connected, but this collaboration lets us celebrate that in a new way,” said fashion designer Rowley. “I was intrigued by the idea of creating a visual representation of fragrance. My family and I have been fans of Downy for years, so designing this brooch to bring Boutique Botanicals to life felt like a full-circle moment.
