Estee Lauder beauty event for social networking profile pictures

This is such a good idea that I'm a bit surprised that MAC hasn't got in there first. At least with Estee Lauder you're less likely to get Vegas Showgirl-ed.

Estee Lauder’s Your Beauty. Your Style. Your Profile. is an event where a make-up artist will give you a makeover suitable for whatever sort of site you need a picture for (it might be a social network, career sites, or dating sites for example). A professional photographer will then take your photo and provide you with a hard copy so you can upload it to your social network profile, mobile phone or iPhone.

The event is exclusively at the Estee Lauder counter in Selfridges, Oxford Street from 20 May to 22 May. The telephone number for the Estée Lauder counter in Selfridges Oxford Street is 020 7318 3702 to book an appointment. A booking fee of £15.00 applies which is redeemable against any Estee Lauder purchases made during the event.  (By appointment only, one per customer).

I haven't bought anything from an Estee Lauder counter in ages, and I'm quite tempted by this myself, for my blog, facebook and twitter profiles. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to spend the £15 on?

  3. That's really a good idea.
    For the Lauder products, I would really recommend their Sumptuous mascara, the Daywear Plus SPF line is also very good, I like the advanced eye repair gel and I love the Signature lipstick in Venetian rose - a beautiful pigmented peachy pink, one of those colors that just looks good on, if you're wearing a lot of makeup or no other makeup.
    I hope you have fun if you decide to go!

  4. This is an inspired idea! More makeup companies should do this. You don't need a pro pic though, Lyds, you're GORGEOUS! :D

  6. They held these events here as well but I missed it. I like their Doublewear liners and the paint pot like cream shadow products they have are nice.

  7. to anon: I am aware that MAC is part of the Estee Lauder group, but it is a separate company with a specific (and quite different) identity. Thank you for the comment.

  8. Hi Holly - it's a good idea, isn't it? I'm v tempted.

    Hi Catanya - nice to 'see' you! I wish I could spend it on a TF lipstick, but I think it has to be from the EL brand itself.

    Hi Klara - thanks for the recommendation, I might give the mascara a go.

    Hey Mag - thank you :)

    Hi Michelle - I'll have to have a look at those, thanks. x
