Elizabeth Arden beauty experts jetted into Dublin last week to share new discoveries from a portfolio of luxury products. Twenty invited guests were treated to a sneak preview of stunning Christmas gift sets and a range of new fragrances from the exclusive beauty emporium. I unfortunately had to miss out on what appears to have been a fab event as I was ensconced in London (it could be worse I guess!)

Dublin’s elite attended the launch event at the Dylan hotel including a selection of media personalities and VIP’s. The glamorous guests took home a goody bag full of gorgeous gifts including items from the Red Door, Juicy Couture and Britney Spears collections.

Guests sipped on champagne and bespoke Elizabeth Arden cosmopolitan cocktails and dined on a sumptuous three course meal cooked by head chef at the Dylan, Richard Carmody. Those in attendance included included Elaine Butler Doolin, beauty guru Triona McCarthy and Beaut.ie blogger Kirstie Mc Dermott.
