Check out The Ladurée Dream below.  A cute video for Christmas.

It's recently been announced that they're coming out with a new colour cosmetics range called Les Merveilleuses de Laduree.  The collection will include blush in the form of cameos, liquid foundation and lip colour.  They already have a candles, home fragrances and face and body creams so this isn't as much of a stretch as it may seem.

Christmas Treats from Paris

Leave it to the Parisians to create a new take on the traditional Yule Log.  Traditional they are not.  They've been reinterpreted to feature flavours such as bourbon vanilla cream, candied lemon and chestnuts, chocolate mousse, lavender, mango and salted butter caramel.   Where else would you find a Yule Log wrapped in leopard print.
