Red, sumptuous lips are a key trend this season - we think Dita Von Teese may have something to do with it (we can't take our eyes off hers). Unfortunately the need for our lipstick to remain perfect and in place is just as key, so Harvey Nichols are introducing a revolutionary new lip colour collection from Laura Mercier. The new re-formulated lip colours give a lightweight comfort the minute it touches your lips. Quick release colour gives complete and lasting coverage with a modern sheen. The lipsticks include a lip complex that is so smart it is able to moisturise, anti-age, anti-oxidise and plump your lips all at the same time, whilst boosting the performance of the crème lip colour and enhancing you lips appearance. Lips are also protected from the elements and dehydration is abated as the all singing, all dancing lip colour cares for your lips like skincare. Better yet, when you press your lips together (or against someone else's!), the exclusive Laura Mercier Lip Complex is revived and releases a micro-burst of illuminating emollients giving the lips a just applied look. Application remains fresh and flawless throughout the day. Read the rest of this entry »

Fashion's favourite son Marc Jacobs, whose design tune the fashion pack loyally dances to each season, has recently developed a similar cult following for his sensitively and innovatively created fragrances. This season sees the launch of Daisy, a light, spirited, sunny and youthfully uplifting scent that fuses perky aromas of wild strawberry, violet leaves and ruby-red grapefruit with white-mood musky vanilla. And of course Marc never completes a project without first adding his signature quirky touch. This comes courtesy of Daisy's delightfully simple bottle, crowned with a circle of retro-cool daisy petals baring a central gold Marc Jacobs hallmark. Read the rest of this entry »

“Exclusive” doesn’t even describe the low-profile the Serge Lutens Beauté makeup line keeps. Think trying to get a limited edition lipglass set from M.A.C times 100.

American brand Orly definitely trademarked the term here in the Read the rest of this entry »
