Designer Charlotte Ronson is known for her “effortlessly chic” downtown aesthetic and has firmly established herself as a fashion icon for the unique modern woman. This September, she translates her fashion philosophy into a new lifestyle beauty collection presented exclusively at Sephora:  Charlotte Ronson Beauty.

 

“I’ve created this beauty collection for girls who believe that less is more: they love beauty products, but keep their routine relatively uncomplicated for a natural, effortless look. All of the products are fun and easy to use, with unfussy palettes and quality formulas for the right application no matter if you’re on-the-go or getting ready for a special occasion. The collection was created with my friends and family in mind and each product is named after their unique style and beauty. I’ve always wanted to design a beauty collection, and SEPHORA-with their incredible creative insight and expert knowledge of the industry- have been the perfect partners to create this line.”

 

Inspired by the concept of effortless beauty, under any spotlight, The Charlotte Ronson Beauty collection products are created with Light Filter Technology™ to diffuse and filter light. Like your own personal “lighting guy,” these formulas automatically adjust to changing light, giving your skin radiance and flawlessness under any spotlight. Charlotte Ronson also collaborated with her celebrity friends and muses, like Nicole Richie, and sister, Samantha Ronson, to ensure products met the needs of a fast-paced lifestyle. They asked for it and she created it: portable packaging, buildable formulas and universal colors that are flirty and feminine with a decidedly downtown feel. Experience Charlotte Ronson Beauty, presented exclusively at Sephora.

Sephora Collection’s Colorista Custom Makeup Palette

by Diana Ajih on June 9, 2011

in beauty

Come Christmas time, Sephora Collection’s all-inclusive annual Blockbuster Palette — which includes everything from lipsticks and liners to blushes and shadows in every shade of the rainbow — is my #1 go-to gift for all the makeup collectors on my list! But why should an avid beauty buyer have to wait till the busiest shopping season of the year for a new bargain-beating Blockbuster palette (especially when my 2010 palette’s tiny eyeshadow pans are past the point of just scraping the metal at the bottom)? Luckily the wish-granters at the makeup mothership itself, Sephora, don’t want to keep us hanging, and have rolled out a summer edition of their famous Blockbuster! The Colorista Custom Makeup Palette isn’t just season-festive with loads of fun brights — it’s customizable with pop-out metal pans and magnetic backing so you can switch out the mini palettes and create your own portable compact. Whether you want only certain shades for on-the-go touch-ups or insist on hauling the entire thing with you on your summer vacay, the Colorista palette has you completely covered for only $36 (a $155 value)!

Too Cute! Hello Kitty For Sephora’s Memoirs of a Kitty Palette!

by Diana Ajih on June 3, 2011

in beauty

Don’t get me wrong — as a huge Hello Kitty fan, I normally think she can do no wrong, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed by the recent release of her debut makeup collection for Sephora. Sure, some choice items were cute, like the brush collection and the tiered palettes. However, there are only so many candy-colored shadows and glitter eyeliners a girl can own before it becomes painfully obvious that I’m only buying them for my love of HK. That’s why I was curious, but still a bit skeptical, when I found out that the collection would continue with special edition seasonal items. I mean, maybe this was the Kitty’s chance to step up her game! And in the case of the Memoirs of a Kitty collection — namely the Say Hello tiered palette — she does not disappoint this time! Inspired by the pretty, feminine colors of Japanese cherry blossoms, the palette boasts a cute blossom print and inside, a series of 4 coordinating shadows in soft browns and peaches and 2 pretty pink blushes. Together it makes for a softly smoldering look with just the right amount of edge (love that dark smoky brown shadow!), and let’s face it — that printed Hello Kitty case is too cute to pass up!
