Harry Potter star EMMA WATSON has been named as the new face of perfume Coco Mademoiselle.
Emma, 18, famed as potion-loving Hermione Granger in the wizard films, has signed a two-year, £3million deal to advertise the Chanel scent.

She replaces KEIRA KNIGHTLEY, 23, whose contract with the French fashion house ends this summer.
A source at Chanel said: “Chanel have been dressing Emma for film premieres and parties in recent months to integrate her into the brand.”

Not too shabby only 18 and she has enough money to retire, I think I am in the wrong line of work. Stay at home mom paychecks just aren’t what I thought they would be!

CHANEL launches Sublimage Serum which is an essential regenerating concentrate. This spring CHANEL takes Sublimage, it’s premier anti-aging cream, to the next level by pairing it with a potent new partner. Sublimage Serum Essential Regenerating Concentrate.

 
New-CHANEL SUBLIMAGE Serum.

This lightweight, silky serum maximizes the all-around age fighting benefits of the original, combating wrinkles, loss of firmness, dehydration, lack of radiance, and uneven pigmentation-through an exclusive Polyfractioning technique. Planifolia PFA-the precious oil extracted from the powerful botanic fruit at the heart of Sublimage-is now infused into the enriched Planifolia water, creating a powerful formula that delivers twice the concentration of the cream.

CHANEL celebrity makeup artist, Angela Levin, loves to use the Sublimage Serum to prep the face before she applies makeup. “I always start the makeup process with an application of the Sublimage Serum. I feel it helps to create a smooth, silky and young overall look after I use the base. I usually wait about 5 minutes and let the serum saturate into the skin, before applying foundation. I used the Sublimage Serum on both Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard-and they love it!”

Chanel Sublimage Serum is available at speciality stores and on CHANEL.com from February 2008.
