Each autumn, Estee Lauder adds to its wildly succe Each autumn, Estee Lauder adds to its wildly successful Advanced Night Repair franchise. For 2025, the beauty brand is offering what it describes as a ‘non-invasive eye lift’. Introducing the ANR Eye Lift & Sculpt Cream, a targeted treatment that takes a multi-dimensional approach in four key areas around the eye: lid, inner corner, crow’s feet, and undereye. An exclusive Night Peptide helps optimize skin’s natural rhythm of renewal, while a 2HA Volume Filler helps micro-cushion against eye lines. To re-plump lost volume, Lauder has developed a combination of two types of hyaluronic acid, in both high and low molecular weight versions. And to target dynamic lines caused by facial movements, the cream boasts Sculpting Hexapeptide-8 that provides a stabilizing and smoothing effect. The formula is described as their most advanced eye innovation yet. #davelackiebeauty @esteelaudercanada #esteelaudercanada #eyelift+sculpt #taptreattransform

Serge Lutens is a pioneer in the world of niche pe Serge Lutens is a pioneer in the world of niche perfumery. The 83-year-old artist is a French fashion designer, photographer, filmmaker and hair stylist. But he is arguably best known for his artistic fragrance compositions. It was in 1962 that Lutens moved to Paris, where Vogue hired him to create makeup, hair and jewellery. He flourished in the role and went ton to work with photographers Richard Avedon, Bob Richardson and Irving Penn. In 1967, Christian Dior hired him to create a makeup line. 

Throughout the 1980s, he shot numerous advertising campaigns and films and designed makeup and packaging. These works won him two ‘Lions d’Or’ awards at the International Advertising Film Festival. He was a true visionary.

Over the past two-and-a-half years, Serge has composed innovative fragrances from his home in Marrakesh, Morocco. These are often bold, thought-provoking and assertive scents built around a theme or inspiration. This month sees the launch of his Royaume des Lumieres fragrance collection, five truly beautiful scents that demonstrate a light hand with bold ingredients.

Bois Roi d’Agalloche is a gentle oud scent balanced with amber, vetiver and patchouli essence. Sidi Bel-Abbes blends tobacco, Russian leather and honey. Zurafa gives the leather-themed scent are new spin thanks to iris and white musk accords. So does Cracheuse de Flammes with Damask rose and musk notes. And finally, Tarab layers rose, cyprus and oud for a hypnotic-woody effect. Each is beautifully blended. At Holt Renfrew. #davelackiebeauty #sergelutens #nicheperfume #fallfragrances

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the E October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Estee Lauder Companies is once again stepping up with an impressive campaign featuring a number of its most popular brands. What I love about this program is that each brand donates a significant amount of money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation which is making big progress in the fight against this terrible disease. It funds the world’s most promising research. Founded by the late Eveyln H. Lauder in 1992, this campaign supports lifesaving research, education and medical services to create a breast cancer-free world. I met Evelyn years ago when I was editor of Cosmetics magazine and her passion and commitment to this cause was so genuine and heartfelt. She was truly inspiring and wanted to help women around the world.

You can support this worthy cause by purchasing one of the brands’ Pink Ribbon products this month. You can find them on each of the brands’ e-comm sites now. (I recommend shopping early as these products sell out quickly.)
