INGLOT + Disney's The Lion King Savannah Sunset Color Collection

On September 25th, I attended a reception at INGLOT Cosmetics at Chelsea Market in honor of Savannah Sunset by INGLOT, the color collection inspired by Disney's The Lion King, one of Broadway's most beloved Tony-Award winning musicals. Guests enjoyed makeovers, sips and snacks while mingling with members of The Lion King cast. 

The Savannah Sunset Collection consists of INGLOT Freedom System Eye Shadow Palette #606, #108R, and #329, Face Blush #40, Freedom System Lipstick Palette #20 and #21, Nail Enamel in #042, Secret Volume Mascara, and INGLOT Felt Tip Eyeliner Pen.

The Lion King is now in its 17th year, and is the highest-grossing Broadway show in New York history and one of the most popular stage musicals in the world. The Lion King is now playing at the Minskoff Theatre.

INGLOT's The Lion King Color Collection launched in July 2014 and can be found at INGLOT boutiques around the world and inglotusa.com.

Yoana Baraschi Fall 2014 Preview Featuring CHI Hair Care at INGLOT Studio

On February 5th, I previewed the Yoana Baraschi Fall 2014 collection at INGLOT Studio, inside Chelsea Market at 75 9th Ave. Yoana Baraschi was one of the featured designers that showcased her collection at the debut of "INGLOT FASHION FORWARD" during New York Fashion Week, in partnership with INGLOT Cosmetics and CHI Hair Care by Farouk Systems. 

Yoana Baraschi's Fall 2014 collection features dresses and separates in black and  white, with a pop of red. Among my favorite pieces are a black and white colorblock blazer and leather pencil skirt, that incorporates a new elasticized embroidery technique.

Check out my interview with Yoana, as she takes me through her Fall collection, and discusses how her line is petite-friendly, starting at size 0. You can also find dresses and separates from Yoana Baraschi at Anthropologie, with petite sizing available starting in XXS P / 00 P.

During the preview, I met with CHI Hair Care by Farouk Systems for a how-to and styling demo of the G2 Ceramic and Titanium Hair Styling Iron. I've actually never curled my hair with a flat iron, but the G2's plates have a curved design on the edges, making it easier to glide through hair to create ribbon waves. I look forward to re-creating this look with the G2 at home!

Daisy Fuentes Spring 2013

 

Daisy Fuentes Spring 2013 show, part of the STYLE360 lineup during New York Fashion Week, took place on Wednesday, September 12th at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The collection is inspired by The Gypsy as the essential muse, set in the summer, South of Spain, exploring the worlds of Pablo Picasso, Diego Velazquez and Georges Bizet's Carmen.

Scarf prints, handkerchief hems, paisley and patchwork patterns, folk embroideries and peasant lace are seen throughout the collection. Cropped sweaters, leather pieces and sheer fabrics its way down the runway. My favorites include the paisley high low slip dresses and maxi skirts, particularly the red sleeveless floor length chiffon dress with double thigh high slits and the black and gold print bodysuit with chiffon maxi skirt. The collection has a dramatic, exotic flare that is both flirty, sexy and elegant.

INGLOT cosmetics created all the makeup looks for the STYLE360 shows. "Daisy Fuentes strong and feminine collection got its feel from the designer's Gypsy inspiration. For this collection I looked back to fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent and paired mined metal shadows with a seductively smokey eye. INGLOT shadows and gel liners in deep rich shades were applied smokily over smudges of black pencil. the lip and cheek were nude and glossy for a sexy shine and shimmer" - James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and Director of Artistry and Education for The Makeup Show.

The Daisy Fuentes collection includes clothing, accessories, intimates, jewelry and bedding, exclusively available at Kohl's stores and kohls.com.
