Shiseido-a-go-go
The Los Angeles launch of Shiseido’s Essential Energy, the Japanese beauty giant’s first new collection of skin care in four years, had more of a frenetic Harajuku neighbourhood vibe than refined Ginza (though the “Ginza exclusivity” was reserved for a dinner party for top influencers). The products themselves are designed to bring the company’s commitment to quality and natural ingredients to a broader and younger audience with simple packaging and affordable price points. Products showcased included Essential Energy moisturizing gel cream, Essential Energy moisturizing cream, and Essential Energy day cream broad-spectrum SPF 20.—Elyse Glickman, US West Coast Editor
Meow-wow!
Even with newer, long-lasting eyeliners on the market, however, not all of us have the steady hand required to create that eye-opening look. The Cleopatra Cat Eye Stamp (US$19·99), launched by Swiss cosmetics brand Lyda Beauty, roars in with a perfect solution allowing anybody to create the perfect red carpet-ready wink. The patent-pending device, available in “bold” and “sleek” formats, is a compact, user-friendly applicator resembling an old-school fountain pen that delivers richly pigmented liquid eyeliner to a precisely angled stamp on one end, and a fine-tipped point on the other. The eyeliner is dermatologist-approved and is hypoallergenic, free of toxins and fragrances.—Elyse Glickman, US West Coast Editor
