New Skin Caviar Liquid Lift

It is the 25th anniversary of the launch of La Prairie "caviar standard" of age defying skincare and we are celebrating with them. They joined the inimitable golden caviar pearls with a unique Recovery Complex that alters the skin's basic structure for long-term firmness. The new Skin Caviar Liquid Lift now offers the highest concentration of pure Caviar Extract of all La Prairie's illustrious Caviar Collection treatments. And the results for us? Transformed look and feel of our skin to a degree previously unattainable by a skincare product. We only have to wait until September, when it launches at Selfridges and selected House of Fraser stores nationwide. Just a couple of days more until we can try this sublime serum! Can't wait!

Most expensive nail polish

This nail polish is simply sublime. I have just been shopping with one of my fabulous friends and she just returned from Los Angeles where she heard about this - Azature jeweler is manufacturing the most expensive black sparkle nail polish, which will only be distributed in Fred Segal department stores this month. The bottle of it contains 267-carats of black diamonds and is priced at $250,000! Luckily for us sparkle lovers, they will be selling it in 0.5 ounce bottles too, costing affordable $25/bottle. Whether you can spend a quarter of a million on black diamon nail polish or just wish to have the affordable version of it, it is for sure a must have for all sparkly fashionistas.

Marchesa launches its first fragrance

Finally I can immerse myself into a decadent fragrance by the one and only Marchesa. The scent is far from sweet and sticky, but it is dark and glamorous, just like Marchesa's haute couture creations. It has top notes of iris, freesia and young violet leaves - dreamy!

Sadly enough, we will not be seeing it in the UK anytime soon, since it is a Sephora exclusive at the moment, but it is indeed a fabulous excuse to fly to Paris or even better Monaco and enjoy some decadence there too.

BB venom EYE for your Diva eyes

As you all know, there is one thing that is worse than a hangover after a party night, and that is: PUFFY EYES! Luckily enough, for all of us socialites, the Rodial brand has an exciting new product to solve all the usual problems: BB venom EYE!

It is simply exquisite care for your delicate face, while it helps concealing the dark circles and reduces puffiness around the eyes. What is even more exciting, it hydrates and moisturizes the skin around the eyes, which will help you rejuvenate and feel brand new in no time. 

Follow my lead and go to Harrods, where you can buy all Rodial products and continue being the social butterfly you are!

Aromatherapy Associates Facial

It is difficult to describe the utter comfort and super-human results that come as standard with an Aromatherapy Associates treatment - you'd need the tactile equivalent of smelly telly just to get started. But I'll do my best… 

So, the nice thing about an AA treatment is that you're not backed into a corner when you book weeks in advance by having to specify your chosen ritual. Instead, you talk through exactly how your skin has been feeling and behaving over the past few days on arrival, highlighting areas of concern for your therapist to focus on. It means the treatment is totally bespoke and you don't waste time having a mask, massage or melt (tenuous, I know) that frankly your skin doesn't need. 

Obviously, the whole experience is simply divine. But what really tickled my fancy, darlings, is the magical bed. With its sumptuous duvet and squiggly mattress, it feels more like you might be going for a nap than a treatment. And it just keeps getting better. Inexplicably, the bed forms the perfect wiggle underneath you in the exact shape your body secretly craved without even telling you. You begin to wonder how you've ever before been comfortable without this robbo-bed. This is a see (or feel)-it-to-believe-it jobby. 

Aside from the genuinely results-driven treatment (my blemishes have literally packed their bags and left since my deep-clean facial yesterday), the whole experience is all about the details. You're treated to any number of upper-body massages, from head and shoulders to hands and arms, maximising your time as a treatment mask sets. And once in the post-treatment vanity room, there are ghds, hairdryers, and massive mirrors - it'd be rude not to preen! 

We tried out our technical expertise and booked through wahanda.com, which is an online interactive directory for where to go and what to do. Kind of like Facebook for beauty. Fabulous.

Christian Dior Golden Jungle

Calling all jungle divas. The delectably Parisian Parfums Christian Dior has unveiled its Autumn Winter collection, and it's a little bit wild. Golden Jungle is feline, sensual, and exotic - a luxe take on the glamorous urban jungle.

Leopard print (one of Christian Dior's favourite themes), is given a sophisticated twist with the brand's signature infusion of gold - 5 Couleurs Designer (in khaki, of course), 3 Couleurs Glow Palette (Ivory Glow or Nude Glow), the 3 Couleurs Smokey Palette, Dior Vernis in Amazonia and Bengale, and the Golden Jungle Crocodile Leather Effect nail duo. 

You might be spotting a trend here, darlings. 

The collection's piece de resistance, though, is the Golden Jungle Palette, an on-trend texture clash of shimmer and matte, teamed with a mini gloss. The palette is available in Golden Browns or Golden Khakis.

It is ultra-chic, wearable, and the perfect addition to Autumn Winter's layer-tastic fashion. Play, build, and wear with that signature Christian Dior suave. Grrr.
