Which is Your Favourite Women’s Celeb Scent Flacon?

SJP NYC is currently leading the pack in the Favourite Women's Celeb Scent category, but has the heavily-patterned bottle got what it takes to beat the uber-kitsch Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties to most fabulous flacon?

SJP NYC is currently leading the pack in the Favourite Women's Celeb Scent category, but has the heavily-patterned bottle got what it takes to beat the uber-kitsch Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties to most fabulous flacon? Maybe Beyoncé's fierce and fiery Heat bottle will pip both to the post, but then it could also go to Christina Aguilera's flower-adorned By Night or Halle's iridescent looking Pure Orchid. Who knows, only you can decide . . .

Just like yesterday, even if you haven't spritzed your way through this year's fragrance releases, we still want to hear your thoughts on their too-hot-to-handle ad campaigns.

Just like yesterday, even if you haven't spritzed your way through this year's fragrance releases, we still want to hear your thoughts on their too-hot-to-handle ad campaigns. SJP NYC was just so Carrie. So NY. And so glam. The textures, the dress, the hair. Sigh. Did it catch your eye?

SJP Talks Luscious Locks and Being Bad at Makeup

I've just about gotten over not being able to meet Sarah Jessica Parker in person like US Bella did.

I've just about gotten over not being able to meet Sarah Jessica Parker in person like US Bella did. Just. I shared with you earlier that all it takes to please Ms. Parker is a good foot rub and that she's as obsessive about moisturiser as us (good to know), now she's opening up about that gorgeous mane of her and trying to tell us that she's bad at makeup!

From big and blonde to bobbed and brown, SJP isn't afraid to mix up her style (she even had red hair in the early '90s) but what matters most to her is healthy hair. I think I love her even more.

Tell us about your hair: I'm lucky enough to get to work with Serge Normant (HUGE star in hairdressing land) and he and I have the mutual objective of trying to keep my hair as healthy as possible — which is hard given my particular line of work, when they want to just beat it up every day and put heat on it and blow-dry it. And I like to try colour and things like that, so it's hard to do. I am not complaining because it's part of what I've chosen to do that I love. Keep reading . . .

Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Her Beauty Must-Haves

To coincide with the launch of her new fragrance SJP NYC (which hits shelves here on May 16) US editors were invited to catch up with the leading lady herself.

To coincide with the launch of her new fragrance SJP NYC (which hits shelves here on May 16) US editors were invited to catch up with the leading lady herself. Most unfair. Lucky Miss Bella USA went along to chat with the Queen of Cool to find out her must-have beauty products and biggest beauty indulgences, which kind of makes up for not being invited personally. Kind of.

What beauty products can't you live without? Moisturiser (which she carries with her), "any kind" of lip balm, and mascara. "I love mascara and I'm on an endless search for the right one," she said. "I would like it all — length and volume — with the exact right brush. Every time I find one they discontinue it. How does that help a business?"

What's your biggest beauty indulgence? "Every now and then, there is this place called Angel Feet [that I go to] that's amazing. It's a reflexology place. I don't know about any of that — that doesn't really matter me. The fact is that someone will rub your feet for an hour. I don't care what they find out about my insides or different organs. That goes in one ear and out the other. The fact of the matter is that they will rub your feet for an hour. You just have to find the hour. It's not inexpensive, and it's not highway robbery. It's right in the middle there. It's worth every penny, I will say!"
