The NEW Makeup Line You’ll Be Obsessed With!

March 4, 2018

EVER Skin has created a makeup line, that is designed to get you out the door in minutes (while being cruelty free and using non-toxic ingredients).

“The goal of Ever Skin was to marry luxury and efficacy with affordability and accessibility, with clean skin care that delivered transformative results. It was only natural to expand beyond skin care, and apply these same principles to makeup,” ~Ever General Manager, Ani Hadjinian

First we have the Out the Door makeup palette which featured numbered eye and cheek shades infused with

  • Antioxidant-rich Magnolia Oil extract, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter to condition skin and help protect against environmental stressors.
  • Diamond Powder, was added to give a brilliant dimension on the cheeks and eyes
  • Mineral Radiance Boosters help to smooth and highlight for a naturally soft glow. The shades were designed to be universally flattering shades for all skin tones and you have two palette options.

BOLD & BRAVE: Modern neutrals for deep skin tones or worn as dramatic shades for a night on the town.

ELEGANT & EMPOWERED: Modern neutrals for fair to medium skin tones. Flattering tones to complement any day look

Next we have Whiplash Mascara, a rich black, volumizing mascara that dramatically separates and lengthens your lashes quickly. CLINICAL STUDY RESULTS: With just 3 coats, Whiplash™ Mascara increases lash volume more than 8 times! Wow factor!

FLASH™ Power Plumping Lip Gloss is quite the multitasker with semi-sheen finish and luscious lip-plumping power. Available in 6 luxe nude tones for a pretty hint of color. Available in: If you use: Try: Sugar Nude, Blush Nude, Rosé Nude, Cameo Nude and Mocha Nude

And last but not least, no makeup collection would be complete without a fabulous brush set. EVER Color introduces a collection of 3 custom makeup brushes designed to make your makeup application as easy as 1,2,3. These brushes take the guess work out of looking fabulous – match the brush number to the corresponding eye or cheek shade and follow The Order of Beauty™!

Order yours here at EVER Skin!

Burberry to launch cosmetics line

April 25, 2010

In July 2010 fragrance and apparel retailer Burberry will launch a new cosmetics line in Nordstrom department stores nationwide. The collection will have 96 pieces, some of the items such as the lipliner which will retail at $24 and a foundation compact which will retail at $59. Some of the other items included in the collection will be eye shadow, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, bronzer, liquid foundation, blush and translucent powder.

Burberry’s creative director, Christopher Bailey told WWD: “Like the trench coat, it can be worn anywhere and at any time”

Christopher Bailey told WWD: “It started because I felt that, at shows and the shoots, the whole [Burberry] attitude is epitomized through the shoes, the bags, the clothes, the accessories, but then the face was the one thing I really struggled with. When we were doing makeup, I felt like we weren’t able to get the right attitude. It was either caked-on makeup or then just the wrong colors, the wrong tones, the wrong spirit for makeup. I wanted it to be this kind of effortless elegance.”

This should be no surprise..I am all over this line the minute it hits Nordstrom. Will you be sampling this luxurious line?

Review: tokidoki mini haul + swatches

April 2, 2010

Welcome to the world of Japanese inspired edgy makeup, welcome to tokidoki. If you are not familiar with tokidoki, it’s a brand that’s been around for about 5 years that makes apparel, footwear and accessories using art and playful characters. tokidoki is a high-end brand that has partnered with other brands such as Levi’s, Mikasa, Skull Candy, Lesportsac, Smashbox and Hello Kitty to create everything from sneakers to children’s clothing.

When I learned that tokidoki was going to create their own makeup brand I was really curious as to what it would be like. I was anxious to see if they would could quality products, the types of products they would be creating and especially what the packaging would be like.  I read that Sephora was going to be the exclusive carrier of this brand so I decided to go into the store and take a peak. I spoke with one of the sales people and she told me that this was one of her favorite new brands and she gave me some swabs and told me to try everything out and have fun. I had a great time testing everything out so take a look at what I ended up buying:

tokidoki Royal Pride Inferno Bronzer

tokidoki Royal Pride Inferno Bronzer
Inside: tokidoki Royal Pride Inferno Bronzer

I do love a good bronzer and I probably have at least 10 at home now. When I tried tokidoki I just loved it, the color was that I chose was Royal Pride which is a has a slight gold shimmer to it. The color goes on light but you can build it up to your preferred shade of bronze. This compact retails at $22

tokidoki Monkey Pirate Prisma Gloss

Swatch: tokidoki Monkey Pirate Prisma Gloss

The second item that I loved were the lip glosses – there were so many that I did not know which one to choose. I decided to go safe and get a neutral tone and I went with Monkey Pirate which is brown. This lip gloss is a must have item – for one it smells and tastes like blueberry and has a really good amount of shine to it. The gloss goes on really smoothly and is not sticky! My lips were very moisturized which is a big plus for me because my lips can get pretty dry. The applicator is a clear flat paddle that gives you a smooth application. The packaging is beyond beautiful, the gloss cap has a tiny character inside – it’s like a mini snow globe

There are 16 shades that you can choose from so you’re bound to find a great shade that you will love. The glosses are very reasonably priced at $15. How can you not swoon for glosses with names like Strawberry Latte, Diamante Dark and Adios?

tokidoki Kabuki Brush

The last item that I purchased was actually the first item that caught my eye, a bright purple and white Kabuki brush. This face and body brush has antibacterial bristles and unique square base adorned with tokidoki characters. The brush is soft on my skin and picks up just the right amount of powder. This brush retails for $28.

I must say that tokidoki is one of my new favorite brands, I am very  impressed with the quality of their makeup. My only regret is that I did not pick up more products like the Perfetto quick-drying eyeliner pen and the Cromatico quad eyeshadows. Now that I’ve tried their products and I  know that they can deliver I am heading straight to their section in Sephora. Have you tried out tokidoki? I’d love to hear your feedback.

Tarina Tarantino: Live the Sparkling Life!

March 9, 2010

Conditioning Lip Sheen

Accessory designer Tarina Tarantino “The Queen of Irreverent Luxury” has delved into the beauty world with her new line of glamorous makeup and luxe packaging. Tarina is a former makeup artist so it was no surprise that she would eventually come up with a makeup line of her own. When I passed by the Sephora store on Madison Avenue and saw the huge sign in the window announcing that Tarina’s line would be sold exclusively at Sephora I walked right in to check it out. The displays inside the store were eye catching and most of the makeup had already been sold out but beauty the product junkie that I am I still wanted a little something for myself. I picked up the conditioning lip sheen in Cameo because I loved the nude shade and because you can never have enough makeup!

The packaging on the products is just gorgeous, I especially loved the high intensity eye shadows, the cases are encrusted with crystal gems, purty! I adore the names of her products:

  • Sparklicity Pure (a highlighter for eyes, cheeks and lips)
  • Dollskin Cheeks (High definition blush in 5 colors)
  • Eye Dream Hyperliner (shimmery waterproof eyeliner)
  • Sparklicity Shimmer Dust (hair/body glitter)
  • Conditioning Lip Sheen Paramour (medium pigment lip color)

These are some of the items that I was able to try out at Sephora and I absolutely loved them. I’d be curious to see if anyone was able to snag a few of her products and what they thought of them. I’m a fan of Tarina’s makeup already and I will be coming back to pick up a goody of five of her new line. Perhaps I’ll  even have a little giveaway…

Sparklicity Pure $19
Dollskin Cheeks $25
Eye Dream Hyperliner $17
Sparklicity Shimmer Dust $39
Conditioning Lip Sheen Paramour $22

All items are available exclusively at Sephora.
