Clever beauty: Clinique Eye Makeup Remover Stick

Thank you British Beauty Blogger (aka my ‘oracle’) for the heads up on Clinique Take The Day Off Eye Makeup Remover Stick (£16). File under ‘why has no-one thought of it before’, this is a faff-free eye make-up remover in stick form.

I’m so bored of decanting eye make-up remover into one of those mini Muji bottles every time I travel, because I don’t want to lug a giant bottle around with me. This would be the perfect travel companion. I can’t vouch for its efficacy (it launches 22nd July in the UK, although it’s already available in the US at Sephora and Nordstrom) but if it works, I’m a convert.

How to discover niche fragrances

Perfume departments are becoming all about discovery, mimicking the feel of concept stores like Colette and The Avery Perfume Gallery. Selfridges has taken its cue from this, with a new fragrance and home scent destination on the ground floor, dedicated to a mix of niche brands old and new.

Instead, there are islands of products, with the cult faves Fornasetti, Diptyque, Penhaligon’s and Frederic Malle rubbing shoulders with lesser-known brands, many of which are very new. (more…)

Quote of the day: Agnès b

Agnes b quote of the day

“Since we launched, we’ve always sold the 12mm and 16mm striped tops, and we won’t stop. It’s a garment you know you can keep forever. It works for children, men and women. David Bowie loved it. We have pictures of him towards the end of his life wearing the larger stripe. No one knew it was Agnès b. I never told anyone that we were dressing him.”
Love this interview with Agnès b in the FT, I have bought so many of her tees over the years.

Oh la la Garconne

I never get bored of La Garconne’s editorial shoots, just the right mix of wearable with a bit of… something unpredictable. On my wishlist from this shoot: the Atalantique Ascoli smock shirt, the Lemaire mustard knit and both creamy Acne studios sweaters. (more…)
