| Artist's impression of the new beauty departments |
M&S have launched their very own beauty hall. The 'Your Beauty' department not only sells their own beauty and skincare brands, but a whole host of carefully selected brands ranging from Dr Murad, Leighton Denny, Apivita, Nuxe, Skyn Iceland, H2O+, Roger & Gallet, I Coloniali to name just a few. A lot of the brands are exclusive to M&S in the UK, and others have released limited edition sizes or sets exclusively for the department.

| The selection of Les Senteurs Gormandes fragrances, I fell in love with the fig one! |
They've also got a very exciting collaboration in the works with renowned perfumer Lyn Harris, the creator of Miller Harris, set to launch in September (SO excited!). All in all I think this is a fantastic move for M&S, for whom beauty has not been a strong point in the past. I think this adds a new string to their bow and will attract young and more mature clientele alike - a big hit in my books!
You can find the very first 'Your Beauty' department on the first floor of the High Street Kensington Store now, but they will be incorporated into over 100 M&S stores over the next year. They've also added the department to their website, including a virtual makeup feature that you can also experience in store.

What do you think girls? Do you see M&S being a new destination for your beauty shopping?
I saw your tweets earlier, but wasn't prepared for so many great brands to be featured! I'm definitely stopping by High St Kensington this week!

Ooh this is exciting, but also very frustrating - The other month I went for a browse in M&S with the hopes of spending a giftcard I received for Christmas from my Granny, had a look at their beauty range and was pretty disappointed! Ended up buying my Mum's mothers day pressie instead!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Just too late! :(

ReplyDeletethis is so cool, please tell me they had a humongous nail polish stand, i don't think any beauty hall is complete without one!

I can see this being a huge hit.
ReplyDeleteI love the exclusive looks it has, much like higher end department stores.
Bang on M&S. I just hope the Oxford store gets one :)

Wow, awesome step. Would love to browse thru there! N maybe pick up a Dr. Murad sample or two? x
ReplyDeleteWow if you hadn't said this was M&S it would've been one of the last places I would've guessed, it looks amazing! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI do sometimes have a look through the m&s beauty, but this just makes it seem more appealing to a younger audience. Great!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea for M&S, I can't wait to see if they launch this in my local one xx
ReplyDeletethis will encourage me to go to m&s more often, and the food they sell is amazing!

ReplyDeletechlo @chlowitty blogs
You need to try their blusher in damson! it is almost an exact dupe for mac harmony!
ReplyDeleteI just wentto the out of town one at Fosse Park the other day - I loved it, I love how they now do more brands (leighton denny nail varnishes tom name one) and how it is so much more appealing to try out there own brand make up.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a few bits from there and will let you all know how i got on with it .
