One more sleep til the Christian Louboutin Beaute? pop-up at Selfridges. As pop-ups go, I predict this is gonna be a biggie. To recap: Christian Louboutin is launching his beauty empire Christian Louboutin Beaute? with an iconic red nail colour. To experience it in the flesh, head to Selfridges Oxford Street tomorrow (ideally not all at once) where you can buy the astonishing dagger-heel shaped bottles from a dedicated ‘Loubiville’ beauty space.

BRAND NEW SMELLIES: JO MALONE LONDON, SHAY AND BLUE, AESOP

Jo-Malone-Wood-Sage-Sea-Salt

I’m literally drowning under new fragrance samples right now, but I’ve narrowed down my current three favourites that are launching this autumn. They’re all very different and I do admit to being swayed as much by the branding as the scent in some cases…

JO MALONE LONDON WOOD SAGE AND SEA SALT

Jo-Malone-Wood-Sage-Sea-Salt 2

WAH Nails launches a full product line
