REVIEW: Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire



"Inspired by the elegance and eternity of a little black dress, the perfume exudes Parisian chic and gracefulness."

The new fragrance from Guerlain- La Petite Robe Noire. Back in 2009, the exclusive La Petite Robe Noir was launched as a limited edition scent. Along came the 2nd limited edition in 2011 and now the House of Guerlain have decided to relaunch the original to the broader mass market. This has been modified and developed by their in-house perfumer Thierry Wasser.

REVIEW: CHANEL'S First Beauty Boutique

"Does the sight of interlocking Cs set your heart aflutter?" In the words of Stylist's Beauty Director Joanna McGarry- Covent Garden is to expect a stampede of CHANEL obsessives rushing to the tube station. That's right, you heard those rumours correctly- CHANEL is to open its doors in their first pop-up beauty boutique!! Launching and opening to the public from the 24th of July, customers can enjoy a sneak preview of the A/W12 collection, receive make up lessons from global make up artists Kay Montano & Mary Greenwell,facials and pampering, as well as witnessing the first CHANEL nail bar!! (Run by Marian Newman and Sophy Robson). The store is 50 luxurious square metres of pure intoxicating pleasure that is a must to visit whilst it is here in the Capital. Not only that but there is an outdoor area that will recreate the look/atmosphere of being backstage at one of the label's catwalk shows. There's also a very special festive surprise come Christmas!
Make sure that alert on your phone is set for this once in a lifetime opportunity and get in line now before its too late! You'll have to get past me first!!

                                                
                    
Located in the Old Covent Garden Market.
Closes in December.

REVIEW: It's NARS time...Fall 2012


NARS have provided us with a sneak peak of its latest collection- Fall 2012. 

The collection is "at once bold and breathtaking: Icy shimmer enhances modern colors to create a stunning, ethereal effect. Eyes are piercing in smoky jewel tones accented with lavender and amethyst sparkle. Skin glows subtly in nearly nude pink with a whisper of silver. Lips are strong in striking metallics or soft in warm brandy and rose shades. Grey nails lend final sophistication to a look that’s exhilarating, evocative, and, as always, strictly NARS."
For the campaign, Nars chose to photograph iconic ‘90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy. Having worked with Kristen in the past and for his first book, “X-Ray,” he felt that her beautiful, often otherworldly look completely epitomized the fall collection.
