Model Elizabeth Jagger who was signed as one of the faces of Lanc�me last year, has helped L'Or�al, the firm's parent company, to beat growth forecasts.
The world's biggest cosmetics company yesterday reported sales from January to March this year had slipped 1.1% to �3.68bn (�2.5bn) after foreign exchange rates wiped out the benefits of organic growth in emerging markets and new launches in the US.
However, on a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, growth was a sturdy 10.4%, and the group aims to notch up a 19th year of double-digit profit growth in 2003.
L'Or�al chairman Lindsay Owen-Jones said first-quarter sales were "extremely encouraging", showing the group had made good progress despite "limited difficulties" in some areas.
Its shares, which have lost 21% of their value this year on worries over currency effects and the impact of Procter & Gamble's purchase of haircare rival Wella, rose 4.9% to �61.05.
The news was gloomier from British women's fashion chain New Look which reported slower than expected sales growth yesterday. Shares fell 15p to 223.5p even though the group said it would meet profit forecasts for the year. New Look said like-for-like UK sales growth was just 1.5% for the 10 weeks to March 22 from forecasts of 3%-7% growth.
