PAUL & JOE BEAUTÉ CLAIR DE LUNE LAUNCH

For the launch of Paul & Joe’s beautiful A/W Claire de Lune Collection (translated as moonlight) we couldn’t take our fave journalists to the moon but we certainly tried to teach them to walk on it…

The press were invited to the famous Pineapple Dance Studio, where International Make-up Artist Craig-Ryan French introduced them to the stunning new collection; a combination of playfully chic packaging and an array of divine hues, which left them all utterly radiant. We then put on our dancing kicks and were taught the routine to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller,’ combined with the ‘Moonwalk.’ Suffice to say the event was definitely a ‘Scream’ – whilst we tried our best to copy the ‘Man in the mirror,’ our attempts at looking like a ‘Smooth criminal’ were more than a little…‘Off the wall… (enough puns for now – Ed)

NUXE PRESENTATION

Long have we secretly coveted the simplicity and elegance of French style, their ability to nab a certain sexy kohl-eyed American pirate and their sophistication when it comes to skincare. So imagine our delight when MDW were approached by NUXE to represent the much adored and respected French beauty brand for the second time.

In the subterranean comfort of The Haymarket Hotel, MDW hosted a press breakfast to showcase the full NUXE offering including celebrity favourite Huile Prodigieuse and best sellers Baume Levres Réve de Miel and Crème Fraiche Serum.

The range is available from Space NK stores nationwide and we can’t wait to get our hands on all of it – well anything to help in the quest for our own Capt Jack!

JO WOOD ORGANICS… EAU MY, HOW FRAGRANT!

Yesterday the glamorous green queen Jo Wood visited the Modus office to launch her two new sumptuous fragrances; Tula & Langa.

Press listened intently as Jo presented her enchanting new fragrances; tantalizing Tula with its delicate and exotic white floral scent, and refreshing Langa, a bright and zesty fragrance. This pleased even the most discerning of senses but the fact that the fragrances are made from pure organic ingredients and essences made them all the more divine.

Thus, in sum, the event was aromatic, beautiful, exotic, organic… Eau so Jo Wood!
