Jemma Kidd is all grown up.
The London-based makeup artist, wife of an earl (making her a countess) and sister of model Jodie Kidd is moving past her drugstore roots and is entering a higher echelon of cosmetics by bidding goodbye to UK retailer Boots and moving into Space NK.
Adding to her Jemma Kidd Make Up School line, the blonde beauty launched her Skin-Intelligents range yesterday, in conjunction with announcing her retailer move.

Candles just got a little bit more masculine. And sexy.
Tom Ford launched a line of limited-edition wick burners to his acclaimed Private Blend Collection, a set of 12 unisex scents. Don’t expect girly smells like lavender and grass here — this set wafts of Oud Wood, Tobacco Vanille, Noir de Noir and Neroli Portofino. The candles burn each release one of Tom’s blends into any room you like with the strike of a match (or flick of a Bic).

Estee Lauder is one of those storied cosmetics brands that evokes memories of grandmothers and gold compacts in the same vein.
Of course, the grandmother is chic and and the compact is gilded.
The brand, over years, reached out to newer, younger demographics but still remained luxurious in its successful pursuit — they did, after all, bring on Tom Ford to helm his Tom Ford for Estee Lauder limited-edition collections.
