Shea Moisture:
Australia is expected to go crazy over this new natural beauty brand launched at a very glamorous breakfast at Chiswick. The American cult beauty brand Shea Moisture was launched in Australia recently, and the beauty editors are raving already. The natural, organic, fair trade beauty brand is run by one family, and has been since 1912 when Sofi Tucker, a widow with 5 children created it. Products are sustainably produced without sulphates or parabens. The event included hair stylists, massage therapists, a three course breakfast and plenty of testing of the new products.
The Body Shop #lifeistooshort launch:
Hosted by PR company One Day Dream and held in the beautiful garden like settings of Elizabeth Bay by the water in Sydney, The Body Shop launched their exciting new Body Butter range called Body Yogurt; ten times more nourishing for the skin than normal moisturisers. Guests enjoyed build-your-own brekkie with yogurts inspired by the new products (Strawberry, Coconut and Almond) and a selection of fresh fruits and granola that everybody could add to their bowl. Guest speakers were The Body Shop marketing & corporate responsibility director Shannon Jaquith Chrisp and The Body Shop brand manager Nikole Duong.
