Shiseido SS 08



At the Shiseido Spring Summer 08 launch party were: 1. Julian benson and Sonia Harris; 2. Chloe Arnold, Yomiko Chen and Jude Dabney; 3. Tara Leniston and Tara O'Leary;4. Avila Lipsett and Emily O'Donnell.



What was probably the first big bash of 2008 was well attended by the social cognoscenti, eager to catch up on all the news from the New Year (not so new anymore I guess). International beauty brand Shiseido hosted a swish soiree to launch its Spring Summer make-up and skincare range. Now that’s what I like, talk of Spring and Summer.



The new Radisson SAS hotel off Georges Street is the newest kid on the block and the people at Shiseido had commandeered the beautiful penthouse Sky Suite. Seven floors up and with amazing views of the city it really is the place to be lately. Indeed I spotted a few well-known faces while dining in the restaurant later that evening.



Among the guests were Chloe Arnold, Triona McCarthy, Julian Benson (dazzling in Cavali), Leanne de Cerbo, Avila Lipsett and Emily O’Donnell, actress Tara Leniston, Maura Derrane and her sister Roisin, all of whom left with an arm full of Shiseido goodies. Perfect for the detox month that is January.
