BUT, we all know Agent Provocateur as the incredibly sexy and luxurious lingerie, perfume and toy line by Vivienne Westwood’s son. Agent Provocateur is a well known lingerie brand from here in the United Kingdom. The company now has stores in 13 countries across the globe including major cities such as London, New York, Vancouver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. The first shop was opened on London’s Broadwick Street in Soho in 1994. There has been no stopping the brand since!

Why am I featuring them here on the beauty blog and not on FashioNoa? Well, because Agent Provocateur have three gorgeous fragrances!

Agent Provocateur Maitresse:

The company is known for producing extremely sexy, racy, hot and controversial adverts, such as the famous ads featuring Kylie Minogue in 2001. The advert, which was shown only in cinemas, helped push the envelope on sexual innuendo in advertising media and helped demonstrate the power of internet based viral marketing. The ad was steamy and hot and people just couldn’t get enough!

Lingerie by Agent Provocateur has become popular with celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, and Carmen Electra showering their love on Agent Provocateur, and the company often features stars du jour to promote its fashion campaigns with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss, Maggie Gyllenhaal and the raunchy ad featuring Peaches Geldof and Daisy Lowe (current season).

Looking for a subtle but sexy Christmas present for that special someone? Look no further – Agent Provocateur is sure to provoke the best response!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Body Butter

The deliciously soft Marc Jacobs Daisy body butter!

The spirited and fresh Daisy body butter is elegant, warm and summery all in one.

Since I modelled the Yves Saint Laurent advertisement 3 years ago I have had a soft spot for Yves Saint Laurent Beauté I must admit. I also absolutely love the gold and am already a heavy and faithful user of both the YSL Touche Eclat (#2 – such a must have also at Cheapsmells for 34% off) as well as the Yves Saint Laurent Quadrilumiere eyeshadow (so lovely!), so of course when I saw the YSL mascara I was just “magically” drawn towards and had to check it out! Needless to say this ended in a purchase:

YSL everlong mascara - just perfect!

I had to get myself the Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Mascara (lovely dutyfree duo pack of course)! As a sucker for the gold, my temptations for gold are fully satisfied herewith but also as a sceptic of rubber mascara brushes I have now been converted! This mascara is truly divine, no clumpy bullshit, it truly elongates the lashes and is fine and thin so no chunky clumpy stuff anywhere and you don’t waste any mascara either (its a fine and perfect layer each time unlike the one I had before).

So if you’re anything like me – sucker for gold glam, love French designer houses, love Yves Saint Laurent, are not too gifted when it comes to mascara talent and have been looking for the perfect mascara for ages…voilà here it is – the saviour of your eye make up – the YSL everlong mascara!

Get it now at Cheapsmells for £13.95 and save yourself atleast 30% on RRP!

So the party season is upon us and we’re facing a seasons of late nights, a few drinks too many, too little sleep and still needing to make it in to the office the next day. What part of your face gives it away most? Your eyes of course! Eyes aver very sensitive and the skin around our eyes is very thin and fine too. This part of the face needs a lot of care and nurture to keep those little red veins from showing and those dark rings forming! So here we’ve put together the best eye creams to keep you going te next few weeks:

Clinique “all about eyes rich” – A great moisture-rich formula which helps reduce the look of undereye circles, shadows, puffs and fine lines—immediately as well as over time. This rich and fabulous cream helps boost natural collagen production as well while at the same time de-puffing the sensitive eye region with calming botanicals. AND on top of all of this it even strengthens skin’s moisture barrier against common irritants as well! Any more doubts on why I love Clinique so much?!

Chanel brings us the fabulous Chanel Précision Eye Lift with fully natural horse chestnut derivatives that augment the benefits of microcirculation, while other natural ingredients help restore tissue elasticity while at the same time peach and cornflower extracts soften and soothe the eye area gently.

The fabulous skin care and cosmetics brand Skin Doctors bring us the great “Eye Circle” for “serious” under-eye circles. The formulation of this great product is specifically designed for the age old problem of dark circles under the eyes (which is only to be get worse this party season). Eyecircle isn’t just for temporary tired circles from too many nights out partying – it will help to make dramatic, visible difference to “serous circles”as well.

So, after having put in the links to the store and my other blogs I was at a loss on what to pick to write my very first blog post on…call me superstitious but I do believe the first one has to be good – sort of symbolic for the rest of the blog so to speak…

So, my eyes scanned the internet and my own room…and voila! on my lovely white cosmetics desk stands my little jar of Clinique Superdefense SPF 25 triple action moisturizer for dry to combination skin – and yes, it is my first beauty blog item!

Clinique Super Defense SPF 25 moisturizer - one of the 'super' very best ever!

I picked this lovely moisturizer up at an airport once – you know how it is, its all duty free and the lovely brands…this one just looked and sounded so great I just had to go and spoil myself! And spoilt I now definitely am – I can’t wait to try all the other Clinique beauty products.

This lovely Clinique cream is absorbed into your skin immediately (seriously so quick you wonder if you’re really awake yet) yet it is rich neough to make your skin feel fully nourished within seconds and keeps it feeling great all day long. The SPF 25 is great skin protection and helps neutralize the toxic effects of UVA/UVB rays and rebuild the skin’s natural defence systems.

Nourish your skin and protect it from harmful UVA/UVB rays and free radicals without it feeling the slightest bit heavy – I can only praise and recommend Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer!

And yes, I know you’re thinking – great she bought it an airport duty free, too expensive for me – so NOT true! Get it now at Cheapsmells – an amazing online store based in the Channel Islands: they just won a platinum award for their awesome store and are tax-free too…what are you waiting for?!

Clinique Superdefense – for oily skin as well – get it all now for the best prices at Cheapsmells!
