Vogue – an evening of beauty advice at Harvey Nichols.
11th September, 6.45pm – 8pm, Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge |
|
Join us for an evening at Harvey Nichols where you can learn the latest trends and trade secrets from the experts on the ground floor. With the champagne flowing our soirée will kick off with an Armani ‘how-to’ guide to make up this season before you are let loose on the likes of MAC, Pout, Chanel, and Clinique beauty & make-up experts. You will have the opportunity to indulge in a mini-makeover and you will receive a gift with purchase from some brands, as well as a special goody bag on departure. NB Marc Jacobs dress not included!
Feedback from An Evening at Harvey Nichols:
"An otherwise uneventful Tuesday evening was the perfect time to head to the fabulous Harvey Nichols department store in Knightsbridge and be treated to a truly girlie evening catching up with fellow ex GDST pupils. Firstly we were treated to a lesson in how to create the "smoky eyes" look by Armani's make up artist to stars including Penelope Cruz, all the while sipping champagne and snacking on inventive canapés such as miniature fish and chips.
Next we had one hour to pamper ourselves with two treatments of our choice, from a selection including manicures, makeovers, threading and hand reading. I chose a manicure and make over, and left feeling so gorgeous that I called a friend to come and meet me so I could cameo my new look!This event was ideal as it attracts both Minerva and non-Minerva members, all of whom can enjoy such an extravagant evening of beautifying." | | | |
