Launch of Clerys new Beauty Hall

Oh ladies, did I have me a morning. Yup, I went along to the official launch of the brand spanking new and extremely fabulous new Cosmetics Hall at Clerys on O'Connell st.

They've spent €2.2m on the renovation, and all puns aside, it's more than merely cosmetic. The windows to the front of the store have been opened up so from the outside so you can now see all the delights within, and the hall is now almost twice the size it used to be. It's now got a whopping 7,500 sq foot of gorgeousness. There is gorgeousness in spades.

And speaking of even more gorgeousness, Clerys have scored a huge coup in securing the Dianne Brill range of wonderfully glam and quirky slap. I've blogged about it before, and for any of you ladies who love Benefit, Paul & Joe and Pout, you're going to ADORE this range of fun, sexy slap. Clerys have also secured new Smashbox and Origins counters too as well as a gorgeous new Benefit stand, and they're now also stocking Shiseido for the first time as well.

That's not including all the brands who were already present - Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Dior, Arden and tons more have all been given a new lease of life with lovely new counters and displays. It doesn't end there either - there's also a special Mind, Body & Soul section which is stocking natural and organic treats from REN, Neals Yard, Nature's, Dr Hauschka and more.

Men are catered for too - they've got their own special section carrying a good range of skincare and fragrance. Get yourselves in to Clerys - with the quickness. It's set to be the new destination for the discerning product shopper!
