New Beauty Haven Alert – Philvert

Published by

“It’s Friday, I’m in love!” Well, in this case it’s almost Friday, but I am in love nonetheless! Today saw the launch of a brand spanking new beauty webshop, Philvert, and it’s like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter have rolled into one for this skincare lover. As it would befit a true beauty haven, Philvert is helmed by one of the most knowledgeable skincare connaisseurs out there, Philippe Bijnens. Created when his own extensive search for a Belgian webshop offering effective and organic niche brands skincare fell short, he set out to select the most effective of organic brands with that price / quality ratio we all love, and introduce them to the Belgian market.

Vicky B has come a long way… Long gone are the days of her Posh Spice persona, of black sheath Prada and Gucci dresses and of austere, tight lipped half smiles. Ever since the launch of her eponymous fashion brand, Mrs Beckham, ever the epitome of understated elegance, has proven collection after collection that class is in the  details, in the cut of the pieces, the choise of fabric and quality thereof, the understanding that less truly is more. If anything, Victoria Beckham has well understood that lesson and has, in the 6 years since launching her own brand, shown multiple times that she is a sartorial force to be reckoned with.
