Lovely

Cosmetics house Bourjois last week launched the lastest in their ever expanding product range. 'Lovely' lipstick was well received by the assembled guests, who were in the penthouse suite of the Morrison Hotel on Thursday morning. Pouting certainly was the order of the day.

An innovative product, the 'Lovely' range continues to moisturise long after it has been applied. It even has a nifty little mirror on the base of each stick to assist with re-application while on the move, so no more excuses for stray marks.

Mixing their lippy with the Cosmos at the event were TV star Caroline Morahan, beauty journalist Anne Boylan, Irish make-up artist Ken Boylan, columnist Sarah McInerney, head of Bourjois Ireland Luca Hickey and music PR Elaine Roddy. All talk was of the races at Punchestown the following day, where Ladies Day was being hosted by Newbridge Silverware.

International celebrity make-up artist Daniel Sandler was on hand to impart any tips he had, and, as he was in contsant company I guessed that he had lots of tips for the interested girls. On yet another flying visit to Dublin, Daniel had been in New York earlier in the week and was returning to London with colleague Lesley Chivers the following morning. I tried to convince them to sample Irish hospitality later in the evening but they were due to appear on breakfast TV show Ireland AM the following day.

I knew that feeling, so I let them be. Afterall, it was OK for me. I was off to the races and didn't have to be up early.
