Bloom is having a warehouse sale with nothing over $15 on at 15-20 Cotter Street in Richmond next Friday (11-6) and Saturday (9-2) only. Perhaps you could score the same ‘Amour’ lipgloss that a certain visiting Hollywood movie star recently picked up for his daughter?
Kit welcomes Make Up artist Arianne Damboise (does that sound like a prettier Parisian version of that chick in ‘Medium’ to anyone else?) to our shores to share her beauty secrets. Over the past 20 years she has experience working with New York fashion week, red carpet celebrity appearances and in the upper echelons of Benefit. Kit is offering “Too Faced” fans the chance to book in for their own 45 minute “mini-lesson” with Arianne and the Kit team which will show you how to highlight and show off your best facial feature. Call1800 705 800 or visit Kit to book. It’s $45 pre-paid which is redeemable on products. Arianne will be at the Myer Chadstone Kit counter on Thursday 9th from 4-8pm, at the Myer Bourke Street Kit counter Friday 10th from 1-8pm and Kit Chapel Street on Saturday 11th from 1-5pm.
