New at Jo Malone

Fans of Jo Malone will be delighted to hear that a new fragrance is to be added to the collection. English Pear and Freesia Cologne launches on 1st September.

Perfect for Autumn, the fragrance has hints of ‘mellow fruitfulness’. Think of beautiful bouquets of freesias coupled with juicy ripe pears. There are also some warming notes of patchouli, amber and wild roses. It’s so English, so fresh and so natural. It’s so Jo Malone!

Head to the Jo Malone store in The Village to learn about fragrance combining – layering and matching scents to suit your mood. You can also get a complimentary hand and arm massage in the new English Pear and Freesia fragrance (or another of your choosing).

English Pear & Freesia Cologne, 30ml col. £34, 100ml col. £68.

Look out for a Body Crème, Body & Hand Wash and Home Candle, all featuring the unmistakable English Pear & Freesia scent, launching alongside the cologne.

Long live summer

Here at Westfield HQ, we’re not ready for summer to be over. We’re desperate to keep that warm, sunny glow going for a while longer.

When you think of orange make-up, you may think of bad fake tan. Orange skintone is not one we covet. Being Tango’d is so last decade. But, despite what you may think, you really can wear orange make-up. In fact, orange lips look great with a tan. They also work really well on with fair skins – just experiment to find the shade that works for you.

The same can be said for orange eye shadow. Play around to find out what suits you – peach, coral or citrus. Not feeling that bold? Make a statement with some bright orange nail polish.

Fresh, citrus fragrances can bring back those sunny, holiday memories too. One waft of scent and your mind is cast back to Mediterranean orange groves or even just that fruity cocktail you sipped on from your sunlounger. Orange fragrance is known for its uplifting properties too, so it’s ideal to combat post-holiday blues. Start your day with a citrus-scented shower gel or spray on a luscious perfume, and you’ll feel brighter instantly.
