Plumping Lip Gels:
“They’re fabulous for all lip issues. There’s a mustard extract that helps to jump start the circulation in the lips for puffing. They have a Chinese herbal extract that helps with the vertical lines around the mouth and then it has red-wintered algae, that helps with extreme hydration. So it smooths the lips and preps them for lipstick and lip gloss. We know, especially with the matte look, this season with the lips, it’s important to get a smooth canvas.”
Blemishes:
“We just launched our Blemish Dots, which are patches for blemishes. If you have a blemish or you feel a blemish coming on, you basically peel them off and place them on your blemish. They come in sheets of 12 and every sheet has these round patches. They’re like stickers. These are great for overnight too. You can sleep with them and they’re clear, so you can’t see them.”
Lines and wrinkles:
“We are also launching our Angelica Line Smoother Pen which is a cream that’s for filling lines and wrinkles. Evacuate the cream, and then use it where ever you have wrinkles. This is a product that’s currently in our line, but we sell it in a jar and we decided it would be really great to do it in a pen so people don’t have to dirty their hands. It’s really easy for transit and application.”
“I’ve just been testing it in my hands. See how the lines are much smoother. It has a matte finish too, but as you apply it, it kind of prevents the light from refracting in the lines and wrinkles, immediately has a filling and smoothing effect. In a few minutes, it really helps to diminish the lines.”
Eye Serum (launching next year):
“We’re going to be launching an eye serum for next fashion week and we’re road testing it today. Basically goes on the outer eye right before you do the eye gels and the eye gels are for de-puffing, under eye circles, and lines and wrinkles. The serum is for resurfacing. It has a drone technology where it takes the actives and delivers them to the area of the cell specifically for anti-aging. The product has 20 different types of peptides in it. It’s a super, high-tech, high-performance product. It’s a way of us to boost the efficaciousness of the eye gels.”
