Lila Grace Joins Marc Jacobs
Proving herself a chip off the old block, supermodel Kate Moss’ daughter, Lila Grace, has signed her first campaign. The 16-year-old is the new face of Marc Jacobs Beauty and the announcement was made via an Instagram photoshoot shot by snapper Davis Simms. The image, reminiscent of an old Dutch painting, shows the teen sporting an exaggerated, purple cat’s eye flick and showcases her luminescent skin. Lila Grace will represent the brand in its 2019 campaign.
Fenty Beauty Does Christma.
New from Rihanna’s brand is a little something you might want to request from Santa. Fenty Beauty’s Chill Owt holiday collection features a new powder puff ornament that’s pretty enough for the tree. The limited-edition Mini Fairy Bomb comes in iridescent pink and is pre-packed with body glitter. It’s sure to be a collectible.

Dove Goes Cruelty Free
If you love the feel of Dove’s lush shower gel and skincare products but were reluctant to purchase a brand without the cruelty-free jumping bunny, the wait is over. Long an advocate of non-animal testing on its own products, the company has now rescinded permission for others to test products and ingredients on its behalf, therefore qualifying it for the cruelty-free symbol from PETA. Look out for the seal of approval on your favourite Dove products from 2019.
Available at leading retailers.

Lush launches Ariana Grande Goddess Bath Bomb
This has a fab back story – apparently a fan tweeted Lush begging for a bath bomb resembling the singer’s God is a Woman music video. Lush responded and now, it’s finally here in all its shimmering holographic Goddess-like gorgeousness. It’s scented with oud and jasmine, so it smells as good as it looks. And, as you would expect from Lush, it’s full of nourishment for your skin.
Available at Lush.
