Selfridges gets Panto-tastic with their Xmas 2009 Beauty line up
What does the word panto connote to you? It takes me back to auditoriums filled with sticky excited E numbered kids watching bejeweled men and women dance around in elaborate finery. There would be lewd jokes, men in drag and the obligatory, ‘He’s behind you’ catcalls, combined with the inevitable happy ending and feeling of magic. Cinderella was always my favourite, but I also have a soft spot for Aladdin, and it seems Selfridges buyers echo my feelings of nostalgia.
This year the store is going to be bedecked in gaudy colours and panto-style accessories, with a whole range of beauty products to match! They’re releasing a makeup and skincare line of pantomime themed products and have a selection of other lovely tidbits to offer with names such as ‘the Peter Pan anti-aging night cream for men, for the boy who won’t grow up’ and the ‘Sleeping Beauty transforming night cream for happy ever after skin £15′. I’ve seen the mock ups of the packaging and it’s lovely- think Soap & Glory meets Benefit with some showgirl razzle dazzle.
They have a lot more goodies on offer though, with exclusive collections from some big name brands-here’s what you’ll be wanting under your tree this year!
– Exclusive: Shu Uemura Snow White lashes £25
