Chanel thinks small

Lucire beauty

In an age when cellphones, cameras and laptops are getting smaller, Chanel has followed suit with the Twist and Spray version of its Coco Mademoiselle fragrance. In lacquered white with gold trim, the Twist and Spray package comes with two refills (i.e. there are three 20 ml containers) of the oriental fragrance blending notes of Sicilian orange, jasmine, rose, patchouli and vetiver.

New make-up school opens

New Zealand make-up artists Gabrielle Jones and Dianne Ensor have opened the Makeup School in Ponsonby, Auckland, after working with numerous celebrities. The duo have worked on international TV series and films and claim to fill the void in the entertainment area.
Chief executive of South Pacific Pictures John Barnett says, ‘For anyone contemplating a career in this field, the opportunity to learn from these two experts will give them a significant advantage.’
The Makeup School will offer two 17-week full-time courses a year, plus numerous short courses for people wanting to upskill or refresh in areas like airbrushing, prosthetic, wig knotting, wig styling and basic hair cutting. MAC cosmetics and Dermalogica skin care will be used throughout the School.
