J Lo followed up on the success of her first fragrance, Glow, with two limited edition variations, both repeating the shape of the original bottle and including the requisite bling accessories.

The ad will remain on billboards and in magazines. (via prnewswire) Update: see a review of Sean John Unforgivable.
Mariah Carey will launch her first perfume, a white floral, later this year…
