I was invited backstage to check out Jouer Cosmetics’ look for J.Mendel’s LA Fashion Week show, the Autumn Party. I met their makeup artist, Julie Morgan, who shared her face chart and spilled on some of the products used to achieve this bare beauty look, inspired by raw/unpolished beauty. She used their new & revolutionary Matte Moisture Tint, using their cream tints in bare and poppy to accentuate the cheeks and lips. The eye look was super simple with some creamy eyeshadows in suede and feather, with a thin liquid shimmer eyeliner in sable on the upper lash line. Check out the gallery below to see behind the scenes backstage along with the finished looks on the runway!
Jouer Cosmetics’ LA Media Breakfast
Hey beauties! I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever. 🙁 But, a few weeks ago I went to this great event for Jouer Cosmetics, so I just wanted to post some of my photos from it and give you a sneak peek of what they are launching soon. I have already tried some Jouer products, from my sneak peek blog post– but now I have more to share! I met a lot of awesome bloggers and had a great breakfast learning about their fall collection and launch into Nordstrom Santa Monica.
The event was hosted at Tavern restaurant, which was a beautiful place! The table was strewn with cute place cards that said “Good Morning, Gorgeous,” along with other cute sayings, Jouer mini samples (first picture), and vintage teacups with flowers! Each of the cubicles had a unique design.
Then, as we enjoyed some yummy breakfast, we heard founder and creative director Christina Zilber chat about the brand and their new products for fall/winter. Christina designed Jouer to be a “no makeup artist” line, so anyone can easily use their products. If you don’t know any French, Jouer means “to play,” which is an awesome name, I’d say! Brings me back to me high school French class days…You may already know Jouer because of their Illuminating moisture tint- an award winning product with micro-pearl pigment. But, their new Matte Moisture Tint is revolutionary because it’s light and sheer instead of heavy like other matte foundations. I have the Matte Moisture tint and I really love it, but that’s all I’ll say, since I need to do a full review on it in a separate blog post!
Next, Christina told us about Jouer’s fall Bare Beauty Collection, which includes a nude lip gloss, shadow trio, cheek tint, and their shine removing balm. This kit will retail for $58, which is great for 4 full-sized products. They are also launching a Nordstrom-exclusive pochette, a hot pink suede wristlet that will hold a lip gloss, a smartphone, cards/money, and more…and there is a detachable bracelet! It’s adorable for any holiday party you’ll be going to this season. The pochette retails for $75 and will be available in November at Nordstrom in store and online.
For holiday, they’re launching their own holiday party favor, called Sparkle & Pop! It is inspired by New Years favors for kids. The favor includes 5 holiday goodies: champagne bubbles, a ring, a fortune, a noise maker, and a mini Jouer sample. These will retail for $12, or 4 for $42 for you to gift to all of your New Years Eve party guests! This will be available in November, also!
So that was the event! It was really fun, and I’m super excited to play (pun intended) with Jouer!
An Afternoon with Pauline Youngblood Event Recap and Photos
Last night I attended this Youngblood Cosmetics event (that I told you about here) at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. I had a lot of fun hanging out with fellow beauty junkies and learning more about the Youngblood line! I got a makeup touch-up done with some products I haven’t tried from them before…so now my wishlist is growing! (Their liquid foundation, rice powder, concealer, and minerals in the mist are amazing!)
The special guest of the afternoon was Tara Buck from True Blood. She plays Ginger. I don’t watch the show but I have heard awesome things. She actively uses and supports Youngblood as well (She wore YB to the True Blood premiere!).
Youngblood’s Educator Philip Luque applied the new fall color line to Tara, demonstrating each product for us. I reviewed the fall palette, Moulin Rouge, here!
The event was hosted at the New Beauty Store at Fred Segal, which sells Youngblood products along with tons of other beauty products! Then we headed to a yummy Italian restaurants for appetizers and drinks! It was a great event, and I’m definitely looking forward to trying out more Youngblood products…like what I received in my goody bag!
I received the Mineral Basics kit that’s available on their site, which I’m excited to try! I will definitely do a review of it on here in the future.
Next, in this cute bag, we received a Mineral Primer (which I’ve used before as a sample, it’s awesome, so I’m glad to have it again!), along with the Fall collection. Since I already have the palette, expect it in a future giveaway! Thanks Youngblood!
