London street style: Cult Beauty launch

I've been meaning to write about the brilliant Cult Beauty launch at Bloww last week. These two gorgeous birdies caught my eye, so I hijacked photographer Mark Martin to take their pics for Wee Birdy:

Dana, 23, wears a stunning Erdem dress, Miu Miu shoes, Fendi doctor buckle tote, and Belmacz earrings and rings.

Clare, 29, wears Topshop dress, Hooch top, vintage bag and Office boots.

I took along former beauty ed. Ms G, who got busy getting a brand new 20s-inspired hair-do, while I got fitted out with some ultra-glam false lashes by Eylure. They were fluttery perfection! There was also a free nail bar but somehow we skipped that and ended up eating the BEST sesame prawn toast in Chinatown. (Some day I will find out exactly where we went and report back.)

The superlative goody bag was packed full of the best Cult Beauty buys, including Neal's Yard Organic Orange Flower Facial Oil (seriously glow-giving stuff), Dr Bragi Intensive treatment mask, Tara Smith Base Coat Serum, Essie nail varnish (in Wicked – this season's perfect black/red shade), and some super-fancy Belmacz lip gloss, so fancy it's laced with 24-carat gold leaf. There was also a bottle of Shave Foam Gel by The Refinery, but by the end of the night I had swapped it for a Tony Blair cupcake, (don't ask!) courtesy of one too-many Moet piccolos followed by a verrry long night in Soho's various drinking establishments.

(p.s. Dear Mr. Gossip Columnist who had just come from the Tony Blair book launch – you got the better end of the deal, Mister!)
