L’Occitaine and GlossyBox Pamper shopping event
Last Wednesday beauty fans and bloggers gathered in Birmingham’s Pavilions shopping centre to attend a great beauty event hosted by Provencal beauty brand L’Occitaine, and Glossybox. The event was a chance to see all the new ranges that L’Occitaine has introduced lately, and also to try some of the products, with 15% discount offered on anything you then chose to buy. I’ve been a huge fan of L’Occitaine for a good many years, loving in particular the floral scents and the Almond Oil products, so this event was perfect for me to get the opportunity to see experience some of the products I haven’t used before. One of the collections…

Molton Brown celebrates 40 years with a collaboration with Giles Deacon
On St George’s Day, it seems only good and proper to celebrate the 40th birthday of an iconic British Brand. Luxury bath and beauty brand Molton Brown is, unbelievably celebrating its Ruby Anniversary this year, and in honour of this, they have collaborated with designer Giles Deacon to create a limited edition snuff lid for its amazing range of candles. With only 400 in existence, this limited edition snuff lid is sure to become a collector’s item.

Flash by Jimmy Choo – now at Debenhams
I have a new favourite perfume. ‘Flash‘ by Jimmy Choo is the 2nd fragrance from the famed shoe designer, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Scented with white flowers, and with elements of pink pepper and strawberry, this is a wonderfully intoxicating and sweet-smelling fragrance that lingers in the air long after you have spritzed it. Encased in a wonderful Art Deco styled bottle that resembles a flashbulb, and with a pretty lavender coloured perfume, ‘Flash’ has the look of something you would’ve found on Jean Harlow’s dressing table. But the scent itself has a modern edge, reminding me of the original Juicy Couture fragrance. The strawberry and pink pepper come…

Next launches a stunning new fragrance range
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a very exciting product launch by Next. To be held at the plush Hempel Hotel in London, and concerned with all things fragrance, beauty and pampering, I was really looking forward to the event when disaster struck. My three-year old bumped his head at school and ended up with an injury that required hospital treatment. Instead of a luxurious pampering event I spent an afternoon in a minor injuries unit. This was a real shame as I am a huge fan of Next fragrance. I have been using Just Pink for many years, and often find it in my Christmas stocking…
