Amy Marks-McGee of Trendincite took us through her thoughts on upcoming trends.

We had guest speakers, the most interesting of whom was Amy Marks- McGee of Trendincite, who talked about perfume trends. We're getting more of the same and one other thing is being worked on: The idea of taking a pill so your body emits the scent you want. I don't know about any of you, but that sounds a little too long-term, not to mention risky.” The Examiner, International Travel, May 6, 2013Five Fascinating New Fragrance Finds From Sniffapalooza 2013 “Speakers at Sniffapalooza "Spring Fling" 2013 included Amy Marks-McGee of Trendincite who spoke about upcoming olfactory trends.

Women can have crazy nails one day and change them the next, as it is getting easier to accessorize, and it doesn’t require such a big investment anymore,” comments Trendincite’s Marks-McGee.” Beauty Packaging 12/12Innovation Acceleration "Amy Marks-McGee, of Trendincite LLC, notes the complexities of an innovative package in today’s global market. Innovative packaging evokes a ‘wow’ response and often creates an experience and interaction between the end user and the product. It can create a point of difference particularly on the shelf if the category is inundated with similar product offerings and end benefits. The aesthetics of a package can get the consumers’ attention and if the packaging makes the application easier to use or the experience more enjoyable, it can motivate a repeat purchase. On the other hand, if a package looks exciting, but is awkward to use, it can prevent a repeat purchase." Beauty Packaging 12/12Online Exclusive: Eye on Innovative Packaging Amy Marks-McGee, founder Trendincite LLC, always has her finger on the pulse of the latest trends. Recently, Beauty Packaging asked her for her insights on innovative packaging in the cosmetics, fragrance and personal care industry. "Playful, whimsical, iconic packaging that is fun is another popular trend. Many are targeted to a younger audience and distinctively associated with a brand or personality. For example, DOT by Marc Jacobs resembles a lady bug, while limited edition Hello Kitty Wild Thing Roller Girl highlights Hello Kitty's head atop a black and white animal print embedded with crystals. Betsey Johnson launched Too Too Pretty as a flanker to her Too Too fragrance. The bottle uses the same signature feminine figure glass and lightning bolt tattoo, but is dressed in a different color tutu and fishnets. Nicki Minaj's recent Pink Friday scent named after her debut album, is noteworthy since the bottle is a caricature of herself. The bottle features a bust with a gold face, signature pink wig and gold "Nicki Minaj" necklace."
