SMASHBOX IN LAGOS

Smashbox being in Nigeria may not be news to some of you guys that follow me on instagram and snapchat (Usernames: BeautyInLagos), because I shared a picture and videos of this space last year, I believe. But for everyone that didn't know, SMASHBOX IS HERE IN NIGERIA!


Although I may have mentioned it last year, I hadn't actually gone in to explore yet. So, a couple days ago, I went in to take pictures and also find out the prices of a few products. I have to point out, I was informed by the Sales Assistant that their product prices were going to be reviewed, so I'd advice you use these prices for reference purposes.

Enjoy the pictures and as always, the store details will be provided at the end of the post.

YVES ROCHER NOW AVAILABLE IN NIGERIA

So this week I'm taking 'BiL Out and About' to ABUJA! Yves Rocher No. 1 cosmetic brand in France just opened it's first store in Nigeria, at Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja. If you are like me and are struggling with the pronunciation it's 'Eve-Roshay'. I've got pictures of the new store as well as some shots from their launch event, but first let me share a little information about the brand.

Yves Rocher's philosophy is to work in harmony with the environment, as each tree and each plant does with nature. The botanical beauty brand offers a range of skincare and fragrances composed of natural and vegetal ingredients, for both men and women. The brand's commitment to botanical beauty ensures that every ingredient and formula is guaranteed to be safe and effective. All active ingredients in Yves Rocher products are extracted from plants.

WELCOME TO NIGERIA | ESTEE LAUDER @ THE NAIL STUDIO LAGOS

Last weekend I attended a very exciting launch at The Nail Studio (TNS) in Victoria Island. Most of you will know TNS as one of the first ever nail salons in Lagos (they've been around since 1986), but did you know they have a beautiful well laid-out beauty room as well? Well, now you know and their beauty room is now the home of Estee Lauder products in Nigeria.

I absolutely love it in there: spacious, well-lit and white! Just like the beauty/skincare section in upscale department stores abroad. There are samples laid-out for you to try and knowledgeable staff on-hand to offer advice and answer questions.

The entire Estee Lauder range of products is available, from makeup to skincare. In this post I will be sharing with you some of the products that are available in-store as well as the prices. I get a lot of price-related questions, so I asked for prices of the popular products to give you some idea of the price point. Product list and prices are at the end of this post.

PRODUCTS & PRICES
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation: NGN6,400
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Compact Powder: NGN10,700
Advanced Night Repair 30/50ml: NGN15,00/18,000
Day Wear SPF50: NGN8,600
Double Wear Light: NGN10,700

I for one am excited that Esteé Lauder is now available in Nigeria! I got matched to the Double Wear foundation while on holiday, got a sample but never got round to purchasing a bottle. They did not have my shade yet at TNS, but  promised it will be in-stock very soon! Will get that and possibly type-up a review.

PS: If anyone was after the moisturiser I mentioned I use on my face everyday in my skincare post here, it's the 'Day Wear SPF50' I listed above and it's the one in the tube on the left. The one in the tub is the exact same thing just with a lower SPF30.

COMING TO NIGERIA | ELIZABETH ARDEN

Hey Everyone!

Got some exciting news to share today. I'm pretty sure you've already guessed from the title of this post... Elizabeth Arden is coming to NIGERIA!!

Source: elle.co.uk

Elizabeh Arden Inc. is a global prestige beauty company that aims to make beauty accessible to all women. Miss Elizabeth Arden herself said "To be beautiful is the birthright of every woman", and the MD Elizabeth Arden in Africa says they are excited to give the Nigerian consumers the opportunity to experience the brand.

I believe, by now, I know you guys quite well, and every time I've shared such information the 3 most popular questions are:

1. Will they be bringing in their entire range?
2. Is it a stand-alone store or counters?
3. Where will they be located?

Source: elle.co.uk

So answering your questions from the top, yes they will be bringing in their full-line counters. And by 'full-line' they mean skincare, colour and fragrance products.

They will not be opening stand-alone stores, but rather counters. And these counters will be located at selected Montaigne Place outlets nation wide

And to answer the last question, the specific Montaigne outlets that will house the Elizabeth Arden counters will be:

• Montaigne Place, Ikeja City Mall, Lagos
• Montaigne Place, MMA2 Domestic Airport Airside 2, Lagos
• Montaigne Place, Polo Park Mall Enugu

Details

Montaigne Place, Ikeja City Mall

Tomorrow is the official media party for Elizabeth Arden launch in Nigeria, and she's going to be there. I'll be sure to bring you guys anymore additional information I get at the event.

Any Elizabeth Arden fans out there?....

What's your favourite product from Elizabeth Arden?
