Jurlique fined for price-fixing

Australian skin care and cosmetic company Jurlique has been fined $3.4 million for price fixing.

The penalty on the South Australian company is the highest ever imposed in Australia for resale price maintenance.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said the company had breached the Trade Practices Act by not allowing retailers to sell Jurlique products at a discount.

Organic body products

I have just started using some great products from Aussie company Natural Instinct. (In fact, their offices are in Bayswater, the suburb where I spent my formative years and went to primary school. A useless fact for you all!)

The products use organic herbs and have organic certification and best of all, they smell gorgeous.

The products contain no sodium lauryl sulphate, no petroleum by-products, no artificial fragrances or colours, no harsh detergents, no animal derivatives, and no harmful chemicals.

I don't usually get excited by organic products or shampoos and body washes but I really love these.

Jon Bon Jovi R.S.V.P

Be still my beating heart...

Jon Bon Jovi has celebrated the launch of the fragrance R.S.V.P (in collaboration with Kenneth Cole) by belting out his hit Livin' on a Prayer. Jon is the face of the fragrance.

The launch also helped raise $1 million for Habitat for Humanity (Jon's favourite cause) through tickets sales for the concert and an auction.

The fragrance is "The embodiment of masculinity that captivates, seduces and guarantees a response. Crisp notes of Grapefruit, Lavender and Wet Grasses mingle with Iris, Orchid and Cedarwood before melding into warm notes of Amber, Musk and Soft Cashmere creating a fresh, oriental fragrance. "

He may be a little short but Jon Bon has my vote for being the "embodiment of masculinity"!

Kylie and Olivier Split

I guess this means Kylie's Olivier-inspired male scent may be a no-go?
