Here in SHEmazing! we've been like a gaggle of kids before Christmas in advance of Olivia Palermo's planned Dublin appearance. 

So it's with a seriously heavy heart that we have to break the news that the star has in fact CANCELLED her meet-and-greet event in Brown Thomas Grafton Street this forthcoming Saturday.

The 29-year-old was all set to launch the highly-anticipated Olivia Palermo X Ciaté London make-up collection, but recent surgery means she's not fit to travel.

A representative from Ciaté London said this afternoon: "Olivia recently had a minor surgery on her back and due to a slower than expected recovery is physically unable to fly to Dublin this weekend."

Adding that the star hopes to shortly reschedule with a new date, the company continued: "Needless to say, Olivia is very disappointed that she has to cancel at short notice."

Brown Thomas went on to say that it also wishes the star "a speedy recovery".

As guest creative director of the Ciaté brand, the New York native has expanded the collection from nail polishes to also include a load of makeup products. 

Indeed the new range, which is housed in luxurious black and gold packaging, includes four satin lipsticks; a smoky eye palette in nine of Olivia's favourite shades; two gel kohl eyeliners with blending tips, and cheekbone blush/bronzer compacts. 

And while we're obviously devo that Ms Palermo won't be in Dublin's fair city this weekend, we'll keep you posted as to when the rescheduled appearance will be taking place.

Brown Thomas says that those customers who have purchased from the Ciaté London range and received a wristband to attend the meet-and-greet with Olivia Palermo will still have the opportunity to meet her on the forthcoming rescheduled date.
