Yasmin le Bon, as usual looking about 20

Occasionally, angels & urchins blog allows herself out of the house before the bedtime rush (and no, sadly that isn’t angels & urchins blog, on the left). Last week, she was easily lured by the bright lights of a party to celebrate 20 years of Elemis. We like the products, which help skin glow with the help of cutting edge science and top quality ingredients, and even selflessly – sob – donated a pampering pack worth £119 as a giveaway so that a fraught reader could grab some at-home spa time. But never let it be said that it’s only cupcakes, pink champagne and celebrity spotting that has the power to entice into London at night.

As well as celebrating the 20^th anniversary, the party was also held to highlight Elemis’s association with Mothers4children. This charity was set up by Lisa B and aims ‘to provide practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people. To transform the quality of life and provide hope to orphans in developing nations.’ Laudable aims, and ones which have helped Lisa B recruit a flotilla of high profile mums to help her raise funds, including Yasmin le Bon, Tess Daly and Louise Rednapp. Elemis got on board this year and is making donations from limited editions of two of its products; the Skin Nourishing Milk Bath and Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, and expects to raise at least £50,000 for the charity.

Back to the party, blog angels & urchins arrived at the same time as Angela Griffin, and wasn’t sure to be more jealous of her sky-high nude heels or fabulous complexion. A fan yelled that he’d seen her recently on the red carpet (where? TV awards? Anyway, she said she’d got to meet George Clooney, so we can add that to the list of jealous points).  Inside, Lisa B, Yasmin le Bon and Trinny Woodhall snacked on teeny macaroons created by event organisers Rhubarb, veterans of such bashes as the premiere of Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and Prince William tucked into the Bond-themed canapés.  And if the guests got tired with all the partying, poor dears, Elemis therapists were on hand to administer on-the-spot (arm, head and back) treatments in curtained off areas.

So the outing was all for a good cause. Promise. And if you want to find out more about Mothers4Children by clicking here. And if you want to buy one of the limited edition products, visit the Elemis online shop here.
