NARS PURE MATTE COLOUR MATCHING AT SELFRIDGES
Yesterday saw 22 of our favourite beauty bloggers treated to an evening of champagne and all things matte at the NARS Pure Matte colour matching event, held at Selfridges Oxford Street. Celebrating the release of NARS’ brand new Pure Matte Lipstick available in 6 to-die-for shades (We’re already collecting), bloggers were colour matched to their perfect Pure Matte shade, from the palest nude of ‘Tashkent’ to the deepest rouge of ’Volga’ by one of three NARS stylists at the pop-up NARS counter on Selfridges 3rd floor. Lucky enough to be matched by one of the talented NARS team, I have fallen utterly in love with blushing rose shade ‘Tonkin’…
The NARS Pure Matte lipstick range is available now exclusively at Selfridges during September before rolling out nationwide; visit the NARS counter to be matched to your perfect shade and check out the Pure Matte video featuring the gorgeous Heather Marks as the face of the NARS Pure Matte campaign we posted yesterday below.

NARS Infinite Reflections - Behind the Scenes from Modus Publicity on Vimeo.
NARS announces the release of its first short film, Pure Matte: Infinite Reflections, to celebrate the launch of this fabulous collection of lip treats.
The film’s director Tim Richardson created a bold and glamorous film, featuring model Heather Marks, based on the original Pure Matte campaign, photographed by François Nars. “I wanted to combine two essential qualities of NARS. One is the graphic, strong nature of the brand, and the other is the idea of iconic glamour,” said Richardson.

MUTED TREATS FOR THE HANDS AND FEET!
It’s that time of the year again. The leaves start to fall, the temperature drops and nails inc. bring out another gorgeous new collection of Autumn/Winter season’s must-have shades.
The A/W trend reports are complete and the verdict is in. This season the overwhelming message from the dazzling world of haute couture is clear; the hottest must-have colours are variations of black, particularly an array of gorgoeus grey tones. Never one to let a fashionista down, nails inc. have got this trend covered (and glossed!) with their new range of darker, muted shades to compliment the luscious hues spotted on this season’s catwalks.
These four limited edition colours also boast THE must have nail colour for A/W - Lowndes Square. This perfect shade of lilac mink will, without fail, make every ‘look’ sizzle this winter!

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.

MOROCCANOIL ON THE RED CARPET WITH NAOMI WATTS
Naomi Watts seems to keep getting more beautiful by the day. Supporting Liev Schreiber, at his premiere for Salt on Monday night, Naomi looked beyond fabulous as she showcased a shorter, dramatic new blunt bob with layered side-swept fringe.
Inspired by the lines of the metallic strapless Gucci mini-dress that Naomi wore, hairstylist Robert Vetica created a sleek look that referenced 60¹s British pop with a Studio 54 vibe refined by a soft, natural mood.

LIZ EARLE LAUNCHES HAIRCARE RANGE
Yesterday, after six years in the making, Liz Earle finally launched her highly anticipated Hair Care range. Dubbed ‘Cleanse & Polish for the hair’, the range consists of one shampoo for all hair types and 3 conditioners – Normal, Oily and Dry/Damaged - mirroring the same ethos that was adopted 15 years ago when Cleanse & Polish first launched.
At the flagship King’s Road Liz Earle store, Liz, along with Jennifer Hirsch, the brand’s in-house botanist talked beauty press through the birth of the range and the task of testing over 100 different formulations to make sure it was perfect.
The only down side? We will still have to wait a little while longer before we can get our hands on the finished products as it won’t be hitting the shelves until September!
