Event | L'Oreal Paris Spring/Summer 2013 Product Showcase: Make Up, Nails, Haircare, Tanning, Skincare & More

Tonight I popped along to a swanky venue (which is actually someone's swish real-life home!) for a preview showcase of L'Oreal's Spring/Summer 2013 products.

There was an exhaustive array of lovely brand new products and new shades and formulations of tried and tested favourites.

I haven't ventured out to a blogger event in a while but I bumped into the lovely Gemma and Jen and met Ree, who were all so sweet - you probably already follow them but check out their links.

I'm most excited about the Nude Magique CC (colour correction) Creams (£9.99), BB Blush (£7.99) and Glam Shine Stain Splashes (£7.99) which are a lipstain/lipgloss hybrid and will be available in 8 shades.

My pretty manicure is Color Riche Dating Coral with Gold Lurex topcoat.

I won't go into detail on the products now, but I'll be playing with these all over the next few weeks and will let you know how I get on and what you really have to look out for when they launch over the next few months in your highstreet.

Drop me a comment below on which products you'd like me to review first.

Event + Perfume Review | GHOST Moonlight

GHOST Moonlight EDT* 30ml £25.00, 50ml £34.00, 75ml £46.50

Launching in January 2013

In the past few weeks I've started heading out to blogger events again, and the launch for the new GHOST Moonlight eau de toilette at 24London club was definitely a highlight. I'm new to the GHOST brand but have always admired their pale floaty dresses, promising myself that when I finally kick the baby fat I will wear one! Pipe dreams eh?

More than anything I'm a fragrance junkie (35 bottles and counting) so I was really excited to get my nostrils around GHOST Moonlight described as a flirtatious, elegant and ethereal new fragrance. While most perfumes can be easily characterised into spring/summer or winter, day or night, girly or sexy, GHOST Moonlight is pretty enigmatic at once being fresh, spicy and complex.

The gourmand base of white chocolate builds into a floral oriental with notes including ginger, Bergamot, Cantaloupe, orange blossom, pink Peony, Lily of the Valley, Amber and Sandalwood.

The elegant bottle design and colour graduation from light to dark reflects how it could easily transition from day to night. To give you a scent reference, it reminds me of Armani Code for women.
