Laduree Sonny Angel

Ok so I know that this post is entirely beauty un-related, but I felt that I had to share anyway.

For those of you that have no idea what you’re looking at, these little toys are a collectable Japanese (unsurprisingly) phenomenon called Sonny Angel.

The first Sonny Angel doll was launched in 2005 and its popularity has just grown and grown.

To celebrate their tenth anniversary the brand has teamed up with the rather delicious and iconic patisserie, Lauduree to create a super sweet limited edition collection.

 

 

 

The Patisseries Collection introduces 12 new characters, six angels wearing the baker’s signature macaroons and six topped with artistically beautiful pastries, including Saint-Honoré
Rose Framboise and Ispahan.

This collectable range is sold in blind boxes, so you don’t know which angel you are going to get, kind of like a kinder egg! 

I hear that people trade these little figures at school or at work to try and collect entire ranges.

So it’s a little naked angel with a cake on its head, I get that, but there’s something very cute about it too.

 My son is only 10 months old, so is far too young to be ‘into’ these (They are suitable for age 3 plus), but I can imagine them being hugely popular with small kids and of course, die hard collectors!

Each collectable angel costs £13 and is available from Kindtoys.co.uk.

Laduree Les Merveilleuses Collection

While there is still no news on when the Laduree Les Merveilleuses Collection will come to the UK, I still wanted to show you some pictures of the stunning collection!

Laduree say;

The collection is aimed at sensitive, refined women who turn make-up into a ritual, a special, confidential rendezvous that eventually  transforms make-up into a highly sophisticated accessory.

 

This timeless collection will emerge at its own pace, like a luxury that offers itself to all who love beauty as a defence against the trivialisation of daily life.

 Like divas, each colour is magnified in a legendary, extraordinary setting.

At the moment the products are only available in Japan, though they are due to launch in France in Spring next year, we still don’t have a date for the UK.

 Dammit!

  

Still, how pretty are they! I’d give my right arm to get hold of this collection! Its soooooooo  Marie Antoinette don’t you think?

Laduree to launch a Cosmetics Line

 

Just a quick news blast as I thought you’d want to know this!

Heard of Laduree anyone?

Fans of Gossip Girl will certainly have!

Laduree, the exquisite French patisserie make the world famous  macarons of course and as of next year they will be venturing into the world of cosmetics!

It has been said that the collection will comprise of 20 different blush colours in the form of cameos, liquid foundations and lip colours.  

 (Theyre not giving much away!)

Merveilleuses de Ladurée (or The Wonders of Ladurée for those of us that don’t speak French) are set to launch in Japan in February before coming over to Europe later in the year.

If their make up is anything like their delicious macarons, I think we are all going to be in for a real treat!

Speaking of treats, head down to Harrods to try them for yourself and to see what all the fuss is about!
