Last week singer/actress/model/DJ/fashion extraordinaire Solange Knowles splashed the cover of TimeOut NY Magazine in full orange tangerine. What I love most about her spread is the flawless execution of mixing and matching tangerine clothing and beauty. Bright orange tangerine lips can be hard to pull off for any skin tone…

…Enter the Sephora + Pantone collection, great for all skin tones: deep, medium and fair. They have warmer and cooler hues of the orange sensation. There is a wide range of products from lipstick, powders, eye liners, false eye lashes, and nail polish.

Sephora.com even equips you with a shade matching tool so you can pick the best tangerine shades for your skin tone. Be daring, take a leap with Tangerine Tango this summer!

Sephora Sends Private Preview Invites For New Beta Site

For the last few weeks, Sephora has been sending out private links to select customers for access to the new beta website. For those not in the tech world, a beta launch is essentially a preview, where a select group can test the site, provide feedback and identify any bugs before the full site is released. Without giving too much away, the new site is sleeker and has a cleaner layout. The product finder and search capabilities are more intuitive, including a new in-store inventory look up – which is clutch during new releases and holidays when you need that last eye shadow palette for your mom!

Conflicting reports say the new full site will launch in a few weeks up to later this year, so sign up for a launch announcement here.
