Pop diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey visited the island of Oahu last week to film a video for her song, I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time. I was really hoping to run into her at the mall or Matsumoto’s Shave Ice, but, alas, that didn’t happen. Instead, to get my Mariah fix, I listened to some of her songs (Vision of Love was the *jam*, ya’ll) and looked at old and new pictures of her on a few fan sites. One of the things I noticed was how her hair has evolved over the years. I liked her tight, old-school curls, but I’m partial to the big, bouncy curls she wears a lot now.
In other Mariah news (can’t you tell I’m a fan?), Women’s Wear Daily reports that she just recently released a new perfume called Luscious Pink, created in conjunction with Elizabeth Arden. A followup to last year’s M by Mariah Carey, Luscious Pink is a floral with notes of Sicilian bergamot, Tahitian tiare petals, lily of the valley, sandalwood and white musk. I haven’t caught a whiff of it, so that’s off the marketing.
The collection includes eau de parfum sprays in three sizes — 1 oz. for $39.50, 1.7 oz. for $55 and 3.3 oz. for $65 — as well as a 6.8-oz. body lotion for $28. I guess it’s so new that it’s not yet listed on the Elizabeth Arden site. When I get back home this week, I’m going to try to get my hands on a bottle and will let you know what I think. If you get your hands on it between now and then, let me know if it moves you.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I’m not a huge fan of Mariah but I definatly prefer her big round curls. The tight ones are just sooo gross and her face is too fat for straight hair.

Hi there!!
Been reading your blog for a while. Its FAB!!
I had to reply to this, as I love Mariah too!! Must admit, love the big round curls she wears now a lot, but loved her hair darker…..not a fan of the blonde straight hair!!

I so want her big round curls! I tried and tried and tried but all I got was weird hairstyle >_< Her hairstyle during that Mimi time was the best, now it’s not all that.

I picked the big round curls…but old school curly is a close second. Too bad you didn’t get to chill with Mariah. Honestly I am a fan…she has a phenomenal voice…regardless of any craziness in her personal life. I’m still kinda stunned that she and Nick Cannon got married.

Hi Ellery,
Awww, not a fan of the tight old school curls? I guess it’s an 80s thing…
Karen says
Hi Dani,
