Diet coke gets Breton and cheeky..

This is not like me to want to blog about something which can be sold at Harvey Nichols (I actually only been in a 'Harvey Nicks' at they say only once in my life and swiftly left the shop as I felt out of place) But I would like to make this sumptuous release my exception. I have just heard about this collaboration on Pampered and Polished and I just had to post about it too.


Jean Paul Gaultier poured some of his genius creativity and redesigned the look of diet coke bottles. The result is absolutely gorgeous and very sexy!

Wait. There is more!
People have said for many years that the shape of a bottle of coke is evocative of the curves of a woman well the creative team went a little bit further. They went on to paint the design of the bottle on two models, who wore, nothing but the design on their bodies, posing live in the shop window of a Harvey Nichols in London. Let me reassure you, the result is nothing seedy, just a little bit cheeky and superbly well done I thought.

The women who went on to fight for the 'Miss UK Beauty' competitions to be banned in England (and probably their descendants) will probably be up and arms about this publicity coup, claiming this is exploitation of women, and treating women like cattle yadi yada, but I absolutely love it!
Great creativity, great make up and just the right amount of cheekyness.

The things you do to sell perfume & soaps

I know very little about Tom Ford and their luxury fragrances. All I know is that he's quite famous for his racy raunchy promotional pictures. Introducing 'Neroli Portofino' Collection for bath soap and beauty products.


woop




“The Neroli Portofino scent draws upon the dramatic landscape and jet–set sophistication of Portofino. Tom Ford's reinvention of a classic eau de cologne features Tunisian neroli, Italian bergamot, Sicilian lemon, winter yellow mandarin, lavender, orange flower rosemary and amber “
From Selfridges

To give you an idea of the prices, the eau de parfum spray 50ml retails at £118.00 and the soap is 25 quid. I'll have 5 of each please. Sarcasm aside, British Beauty Blogger can't show you all the pictures on her website because they are a bit too racy. But I can, because I am feeling cheeky and rebellious.

Too racy? I think so, but it definitely piqued my curiosity and even got the budget girl in me writing about luxury products.

Speechless Saturday (well nearly…)

Good job, those women tried the product on both eyes, imagine the uneven effect *cough*
This was supposed to be one of these ‘wordless wednesdays’ à la lipglossiping and bicky, but I just can’t help saying something. On these photos it actually look like the AFTER picture was the BEFORE picture and that the ageing/wrinkles were added afterwards. I mean, look at the woman on the picture right above, who gets overlapping hanging skin like that just located in the inner corner. Never seen anything like it before in my life.


Radialabs: you’re letting yourself down. Your pictures are so unrealistic that it really puts me off.
