Ireland’s
beauties and beauty experts gathered for an early toast to Christmas and a
special preview of Lancôme’s Spring Collection, ‘In Love’ at The Shelbourne
Hotel, St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2.
Pop
shades drawn from street-art murals and vibrant tones of nature flirting with
an urban spirit are at the forefront of the collection. Vibrant shades inspired
by the light of spring (neon pink and coral predominate, complemented by
turquoise and violet) contrast with the luminous pastels of urban nature in
abundance (rose petal, almond green).
Guests on
the night included Ireland’s top RTE star Kathryn Thomas, who has travelled the
length and breadth of Ireland in the past week with Operation Transformation
duties, and who’ll be back fronting The Voice in the near future. TV3’s Karen
Koster, spoke about being busy planning her June 2013 wedding, whilst RTE’s
Today presenter Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, caught up with her close friend and
former co-presenter Trevor Keegan.
Triona
McCarthy was glowing as she displayed her beautiful baby bump and was joined by
partner William White. Also there were Irish fashion designer Joanne Hynes, who
gave birth only nine weeks ago, Catherine Allason of Quintessentially
Lifestyle, Darren Kennedy and Marissa Carter.
The
Lancôme Spring ‘In Love’ Collection will be available at select Lancôme
department stores, from 3rd January 2013.
