ITALIAN womenswear house Max Mara is well known for its trendy, exclusive clothing ranges and now they’ve launched a perfume which has a lovely floral, yet musky scent that could suit anyone.
Punctuated by spicy pink pepper tones, freesia, Moroccan rose and creamy woody notes, it also has masculine hints of nutmeg and musk, apparently the first time such distinctive fragrances have been used for a woman’s perfume. In a nutshell, it is sophisticated loveliness.
MaxMara is launched exclusively in Selfridges next month and goes nationwide in June. Eau de Parfum 30ml £30, 50ml £44, 200ml body lotion £24. For your nearest stockist telephone 0845-688 3343.
THEY say nice things come in small packages and that’s certainly true of the mini Bourjois range of cosmetics.
Aimed at the younger market, the colours and clever packaging will be a hit with girls who are just getting into make-up.
My nine and 11-year-old girls loved the teeny-weeny lip glosses you can hang from your mobile phone and the prices are pocket-money size too. In fact, the lipsticks, mascaras and mini mirrors are all mobile-attachable for beauty on the go.
Prices range from £1.95 for the mirror to £3.50 for the mini lipsticks. Then there’s a mini palette of eyeshadows in four shades at £2.95 and loose shimmering powder eyeshadow at £2.95 (not mum’s favourite as it tends to go everywhere in the hands of novice beauty babes). All are available at Superdrug and selected Boots stores.
