This week on my beauty radar, there’s a new launch at Mecca Cosmetica, aromatherapy like no other and the final instalment to Alber Elbaz’s animated runway show for Lancôme.

After bringing you the teaser last week, Alber Elbaz has finally released his adorable short animated film for Lancôme Hypnôse.
The extravagant runway show features animated scenes from around the world but centres on the three glamourous mascara bottles ‘dressed’ by Elbaz himself.
“It all stems from the incredibly rounded and curvaceous mascara bottles. The moment I saw them I thought of women’s bodies. So I came to this idea of a fashion show where all you see are eyes in the front row, and the women gradually transform into bottles,” Elbaz said.

For a mid week pick-me-up I recommend, no, urge you to indulge in the art of aromatherapy with the Aveda Stress-Fix™ Soaking Salts. Aveda is no stranger when it comes to delivering the goods, and despite my hectic schedule, there’s always room for ‘me time’ with their innovative formulas for picture perfect skin.
If you need more convincing than the clinically proven stress-relieving formula, the ECOCERT certified organic blend of sugar and mineral-rich bath salts contains 100 per cent of organic ingredients. Keep the worry lines at bay and take a sensory journey with the French-sourced lavender, lavendin and clary sage from all organic farms. Return to reality with exfoliated, smooth and conditioned skin – and your new at home spa solution.

Mecca Cosmetica has acquired a new brand in the form of Sunday Riley. The botanical skincare expert has teamed her love of beauty and science to create a collection that adheres to her belief that modern skincare demands a marriage between botanicals and biotechnology.
Simple and highly effective, it’s little wonder the products have made a name for themselves following exposure at major runways including Helmut Lang, The Row, Jason Wu and Victoria Beckham as well as an exclusive partnership with the New York City Ballet.
I predict the rainbow of on-trend lip colour of the Modern Lip Colour with it’s high-tech pigment delivery system and the Effortless Breathable Tinted Primer with it’s multi-benefit facets for sheer coverage will become cult favourites.
