If Forced To Toss Your Makeup at Airport Security, Would You...
Happy Birthday, Jessica! Looks like the blonde-again Miss Simpson came prepared to fly as she eased her way through airport security with a plastic baggie filled with FDA-approved liquids (that's three ounces or under, for those not-so-frequent-fliers out there). I am dying to see what she's got in that Zip-loc bag, but I can't manage to zoom in far enough to recognize anything.
Brand-New Brand: Just for Redheads
Just for Reheads has just been brought to my attention, although it has been around for over 14 years. It was created by Paula Pennypacker, (a redhead), who felt that fair skinned women with red hair and freckles needed special attention. She invented a line of products that include: cosmetics, nail polish, hair care products, sun and skin care products - all for redheads!New Makeup Alert: Mode Cosmetics
Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Cristina Samuels, co-owner and co-founder of Mode Cosmetics. Mode, which also means fashion in French, is the end result of a sister pair who were raised around the family's cosmetics business their whole lives.
Growing up in Albany, New York, Cristina and her sister Jennifer Isaac would mix their own special colors and create new cosmetics using natural ingredients that they liked for their bodies.
Brand-New Brand: La Bella Donna
When I first read about La Bella Donna in a magazine, the mineral based high end cosmetics line really caught my eye. After doing some research on their website, I've learned all about the ins and outs of this pioneer mineral cosmetics line. Created by the beautiful mother - daughter pair Kathy and Nicole Tracy, they believe that minerals are exceptional for the health and beauty of your skin.
Brand-New Brand: Lipstick Queen by Poppy King
The Australian lipstick addict, Poppy King, is the creator of a posh new lipstick only line called Lipstick Queen, $18. Poppy is no newcomer to the world of lips. After feeling frustrated that she wasn't able to find the perfect red matte shade at the tender age of 18, she created her first lipstick line called Poppy.
New Makeup Alert: Go Light on My Lips
Go Light On My Lips is a fab new company that makes lip gloss, $19, and mascara, $24. What makes them special is that each product includes a built in mirror and a light up wand! Created by celebrity makeup artist Elena George, these fun light up glosses are also really practical.
New Makeup Alert: Hourglass Cosmetics
Introducing LA's newest makeup brand, Hourglass Cosmetics. This new line of luxury makeup is hip, chic and loaded with skincare benefits. It's also on the down low.
New Makeup Alert: The Organic Makeup Company
The Organic Makeup Company is a brand that has been brought to my attention by none other than FitSugar! This brand is comprised of all natural products that contain no synthetic, petroleum or animal based ingredients.
All items are made from earthly ingredients, they are fairly priced and they won't harm your liver.
Brand-New Brand: Serge Lutens
Serge Lutens, 65, former French stylist, make-up artist, photographer, perfumer, coiffeur and costumier has come out with a makeup line called Serge Lutens Cosmetics.
His long and interesting early career as a beauty stylist and makeup artist for high fashion magazine shoots led him to a 12 year stint at Dior where he was asked to create a high end makeup line. His bold color choices really put him on the map as a risk taker - a very successful one!
Brand-New Brand: Jouer Cosmetics
The idea behind Jouer Cosmetics, (pronounced joo-ay) is that every woman should be able to customize her own palette. Each of the colors are sold separately, but can click together sideways and back-to-back to collaborate your favorite colors du jour.
You can put together eight colors for a vacation or you can snap just two together for a night out.
