    Janell Geason, Aveda Global Artistic DirectorMakeup drew her inspiration for the Culture Clash makeup collection from the colors and textures of different cultures around the world. The end result is a global palette of universal hues that works on all skin tones and makeup looks that are as earthy and exotic as they are street smart and chic. “Culture Clash has a distinct boho vibe with a futuristic flair,” Geason says. “For makeup, this means pairing natural, earthy tones like warm coppers and fleshy nudes with a pop of vivid color, for a look that feels fresh and pretty yet sophisticated.”

    Beauty Preview with Shiseido and Cle de Peau #ShiseidoWaterfall

    The perfect way to break into the reality of Fall and to say hello to November is to attend a Spring 2014 Beauty Preview host by Shiseido and Cle de Peau at the Waterfall Mansion.  Located on the quaint 80th St in the Upper East Side. This venue is stunning!  I knew I had arrived when I saw the front gate that matched the perforated invited I received a few weeks back!

    I knew just a bit about Shiseido because because my mom cannot stop raving about them but I haven’t used any of their color cosmetics and skincare regularly. I was so interested and impressed by this event’s elegant presentation and product showcase!

    One of the really exciting Limited Edition products is this SPF foundation with a traditional kimono inspired design on the top. Each station had a Shiseido beauty expert explain and demo the products thoroughly.

    An actual waterfall inside the house!  How zen and beautiful. Notice the Shiseido logo projected on the waterfall for a really nice touch.  While perusing the spring collection, we had a complimentary sushi bar throughout the entire event, paired with coffee, teas and lychee drinks too!

    So I came home with a HUGE goodie bag of all the products and I can’t wait to try and review them all.  Here is a sneak peek at some of the new shades of the Lacquer Gloss and Lacquer Rouge.
