Calling all cat lovers … HOW cute?!! The new spring collection from trés, trés chic Paul & Joe Beauté, inspired by designer Sophie Albou’s pussycats!

… well, maybe not quite yet, but the cover of the February Vogue gives a taste of brighter days and sizzling colours on the horizon … Aren’t they a breath of fresh air? One thing’s for sure, poster paint-bold colours are going to BIG news on make-up counters this spring/summer – lots of them have ... Read more.
