(Relaxnews) - Chanel's Cruise collection at Versailles earlier this week didn't disappoint in the beauty stakes, and now fashionistas will be able to recreate the Marie Antoinette-inspired aesthetic with the launch of Chanel logo beauty spot stickers.

For Monday's runway show, Chanel's creative director of makeup Peter Philips adorned models' cheekbones with black velvet Chanel logo beauty spots, with style.com reporting May 15 stickers recreating the effect will be available for sale in an upcoming line called Collection Versailles de Chanel.

The beauty expert discussed his creative process in an exclusive interview with the publication.

"Last minute I added a subtle highlight with Mouche de Beauté," said Philips, explaining the customized highlighter, a bold pink eyeshadow and CC stickers will form the forthcoming beauty set.

The French fashion house has previously enjoyed success with a collection of temporary jewelry-like tattoos inspired by Chanel symbols, cherry blossoms, and birds.

Other beauty highlights of the 2013 Chanel Cruise collection included candy-colored bob wigs, evoking the pastel hair trend seen at Spring/Summer 2012 shows such as Issey Miyake, Narciso Rodriguez and Thakoon.

(Relaxnews) - The 2012 Elizabeth Taylor Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award will go to Justin Bieber at the upcoming 40th Fifi Awards, while other scents in the running for a gong include Prada Candy and Tom Ford Violet Blonde.

Sponsored by The Fragrance Foundation and held annually since 1973, the FiFi Awards are dubbed the "Oscars" of the perfume world, with this year's ceremony to take place in New York May 21 with Glee star Jane Lynch hosting.

After Justin Bieber's debut women's perfume Someday broke records back in June 2011, earning $3 million in just three weeks at US department store Macy's, it comes as no surprise the pop sensation will be honored at this year's ceremony.

This year, the Board of Directors unanimously agreed the singer should follow in the footsteps of last year's victor Halle Berry in receiving the "Elizabeth Taylor Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award," which honors a celebrity who has embraced and promoted the world of fragrance.

Bieber is also in the running for the luxe women gong, where Beyoncé's Pulse, Bottega Veneta, Prada Candy and Tom Ford Violet Blonde are also nominated.

Ford's Jasmin Rouge fragrance is also nominated in both the nouveau niche men and the nouveau niche women categories. Scents in the running for the luxe men prize include Armani Code Sport, Gucci Guilty Pour Homme, John Varvatos USA, Yves Saint Laurent's L'Homme Libre and Un Jardin Sur Le Toit by Hermès.
