I've already spoke about this fragrance launch before but I now have a little more information. "UK platinum selling artist Cheryl Cole (?) has announced the launch of her debut fragrance, StormFlower. The scent was created to capture the many facets of Cheryl's personality, comprising top notes of mandarin and nectarine, with heart notes of freesia and peach blossom, while vanilla, white musk and sandalwood form the base. The bottle design reflects the unexpected beauty that can come from a tropical storm, encased in rose gold with a single flower with opened petals as the cap. The scent is accompanied by a Body Wash and Body Lotion of the same fragrance. The fragrance launch is supported by a TV commercial and campaign shots, photographed by renowned British photographer Rankin." It will launch on the 27th of August.

I think this is all anyone has been able to talk about today "Luxury footwear designer Christian Louboutin has announced the launch of its début into beauty, launching Rouge Louboutin Nail Colour, the exact colour of the brand's red sole. The product cap is 20.5cm tall, the same height as the Ballerina Ultima, the highest heel Christian Louboutin has ever designed. Each bottle of Rouge Louboutin is enclosed in a black patent leather-like presentation box with a red reveal. More shades of Nail Colour will follow the launch of Rouge Louboutin and will be enclosed in a nude-coloured soft-touch box with a reveal to match the cap from each colour family. 30 additional shades will follow across three colour families including Nudes, Noirs and Pops, inspired by an iconic Louboutin shoe or handbag. In addition, there will be a Nail Care Kit comprising Loubi Primer and Loubi Gloss (sold together). Products will be sold on the shoe floor, not the beauty floor."

In September this lipstick line is all that any beauty lover is going to be talking about! "Cosmetic brand Charlotte Tilbury has announced the launch of Matte Revolution Lipstick. Enriched with papaya and orchid extract, it has the feeling of a nourishing hydrating balm but contains 3D glowing pigments to create the illusion of wider and full lips, creating a high-performance finish. Triglycerides and a blend of waxes and oils ensure the product glides on, forming a satin texture that enables users to build colour up from a stain to a full block. The lipstick features a square, angled tip to mimic the shape of a lip brush, making it easy as possible to achieve precise application and defined shape. Each new shade partners with Charlotte’s 10 make-up looks and include: Lost Cherry (pastel fuchsia), Sexy Sienna (golden coral), Amazing Grace (rose), Birkin Brown (chocolate cream), Glastonberry (sheer blackcurrant), Bond Girl (natural berry), Red Carpet Red (ruby red), Walk of Shame (berry tinted rose), Love Liberty (rose flush) and Very Victoria (taupe nude).
