L’OCCITANE FLEUR CHERIE LAUNCH
It was a floral affair at L’Occitane’s Fleur Cherie fragrance and make up collection launch yesterday at the Jane Packer flower school. To launch the new Orange Blossom scented collection the press were invited to brush up on their floral skills and create a beautiful hatbox display inspired by the delicious colours and scents of the range which launches in November.
Whist the orange blossom tea brewed, we all spritz the delicious Fleur Cherie scent and admired the delicately scented eye shadows, blushers and lip glosses before donning our L’Occitane aprons and creating some truly fabulous floral displays!

NARS PRESENTS SS10 TRENDS AND THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED…ORGASM ILLUMINATOR
Yesterday, a bevy of online journalists and blogger beauties braved the chill of January’s night air for a peek at the forthcoming SS10 makeup trends straight from the New York catwalks.
Welcomed with a warming glass of bubbles and tasty bespoke NARS cupcakes, press were put through their fashion week paces by International Makeup Artist for NARS, Jane Richardson. Kicking off with a behind-the-scenes video showcasing the NARS team at Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, 3.1 Philip Lim, Derek Lam and Marchesa, followed by a breakdown of the products used and looks created by Francois Nars and his team.
This was more than sufficient to fill the beauties with utter contentment however, as usual, NARS surpassed all expectations as Jane introduced the ardently anticipated Orgasm Illuminator. The genuine shrieks of delight that this aroused, coupled with the stunning luminous glow it gave our fave web writers, assures me that this latest offering is sure to be yet another jewel in the NARS crown. Kudos Mr Nars, kudos.
