Brand-New Brand: 17 by Jonathan Saunders
Ok, so Boots 17 isn't exactly a brand-new brand. But its collaboration on a makeup product line with fashion designer Jonathan Saunders is. And according to a recent press release, Anna Wintour was quoted as calling the designer "London’s hottest It boy."
Brand-New Brand: J. Blossom
J.Blossom is a brand with a clear mission, and a warm, fuzzy one at that. Founder Jamila White created the bath and body products with children of color in mind, looking to keep kids both clean and carefree. In a recent interview with Afrobella, White explains her motivation:
"I felt like little girls’ self-esteem was under an all-out assault.
Brand-New Brand: Tallulah Cosmetics
I've had some bad experiences with lip-plumping glosses that sting or irritate my mouth. So I'm very interested to try the new volumizing lip glosses by Tallulah Cosmetics. Founded by a first-grade teacher from Kentucky named Amy Wheeler, Tallulah launched Glossary — its first product — in December.
Brand-New Brand: Wise Woman by Body Shop
I love this new trend in anti-aging products (like Dove's Pro-Age) wherein cosmetics brands are celebrating mature beauty rather than trying to deny the effects of aging. Appropriately named Wise Woman and clad in subtle gold packaging, the Body Shop's new skincare line is designed especially for women over 50.
Released just in time for Mother's Day, the line includes eight products designed to keep skin moisturized, radiant, and resilient.
Brand-New Brand: Boots Health and Beauty
Cheerio, mates! Boots, the wildly popular British cosmetics and skincare brand, was developed way back in 1849, but it has finally made its way stateside. Actually, Boots started sneaking into the U.S.
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!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.
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!
