OCC Makeup Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Hey Rosés,

Model Phylicia Jones showcases the new Garden Party collection

Last Friday, I attended the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Spring/Summer 2012 collection launch party at their studio in the Lower East Side. This vegan and cruelty-free brand revealed a new flower and fruit inspired highly pigmented collection called “The Garden Party.” It includes 6 new lip tars, 6 new loose eye shadows, and 6 new nail polishes. The color spectrum ranges from pink florals, leafy greens, and citrus oranges.

My new spring favorites (L to R):
Demure (berry-toned fuschia), Pennyroyal (darkest peach neutral), Memento (plum-toned pink)

Lip Tar is OCC’s infamous best selling liquid lipstick, pretty much magic in a tube! The ultra-saturated lip color has the longevity of a lipstick and moisture of a lip gloss. With just a small bead-size squeeze, you can wear as is for a lightweight opaque look, or blend with other colors to create a customized hue. The all-natural formula is great for sensitive skin, and even hours later and after eating it maintains moisture and color with soothing peppermint oil, vitamin E, and hemp oil.

Check out the new “Garden Party” collection and pics from the event:

Believe the hype and have your own Garden Party this spring! Stop by the store to try before you buy, even though every color is great and can be mixed to perfection…

Thursday night, curly hair experts Miss Jessie’s celebrated the grand opening of their newest salon in Soho called Miss Jessie’s CurlBar. The salon resembles a Parisian hotel, complete with plush chaise lounges, crystal chandeliers, and floor to ceiling mirrors. Glowing shelves filled with the salon’s own delicious curly products, ranging from sudless shampoo, conditioners, creams, and multi-texture gel stock the bars throughout the salon.

CurlBar opens TODAY, Monday March 12th, and offers “Quick Service. Great Prices.” Stylists use Miss Jessie’s award winning product line to cut and condition a variety of textures including wavy, kinky, curly, and even straight hair. The ingredients are great for sensitive skin and allergies: paraben free, mineral oil free, and no irritating sulfates.

Salon owners and product pioneers Titi and Miko Branch were on hand to greet guests and give impromptu consultations as guests sipped sparkling blanc de blancs and exchanged hair stories. The event was produced by The PR Circle, check out pics below:
