Beautiful Inside and Out

Issued: July 2003 for immediate release

Last year, the couture make-up house Cosmetics à la carte launched Lipstick for Life, a fundraising initiative in aid of Breast Cancer Campaign. We are delighted to be running the campaign again in 2003.

This year, Cosmetics à la carte has worked with two talented girls. Nell McAndrew whose fresh-faced, natural beauty contrasts with Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s sophisticated glamour to capture perfectly the facets of this much-loved British brand.

Nell has designed an easy to wear fresh moisture rich blush pink lipstick, shot with a subtle gold sheen to wear day or night. As Nell says 'The shimmer makes your lips look glossy without the tackiness of a gloss and as a lipstick it lasts on your lips much longer; very J.LO, nice and clean looking with a lovely sheen!'.

Sophie has created a colour rich clear flamingo pink lipstick with a fifties retro look and a supremely wearable conditioning texture which she has generously and aptly offered to name 'Read my lips' after her current album! Kiss hello to the joy of a Modern Classic lippie.

Both lipsticks are perfectly at home with pale or tanned skins, whether you go the whole way with make-up or just add these to your trusty staples for a perfect lift.

Each lipstick costs £17, of which £2 will go to Breast Cancer Campaign. On sale from August at the Cosmetics à la carte make-up studio at 19b Motcomb Street, Knightsbridge, via their website at www.cosmeticsalacarte.com and from selected stockists nationwide.

Readers can call 020 7622 2318 for mail order or more information.

Notes to Editors:

It aims to find the cure for breast cancer by funding research which looks at improving diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, better understanding how it develops and ultimately either curing the disease or preventing it.
