Holiday season is in full swing and Ardency Inn has 2 eyeliner kits that contain brand new colours that will not be available until Spring of 2015.

From PR:

ARDENCY INN announces the launch of two holiday kits containing the famed MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner, including two exclusive colors not yet available for sale individually.

The kits contain an attractive combination of classic and on-trend colors that can be mixed and matched or worn alone, on and off stage. The combination of deep pigments and rich metallics creates the perfect pop of color to rock in the NewYear. The full-sized trio includes full size liners in Black Dark, Blue and Gold (Gold not available as a single sku until spring 2015).

Known for their professional grade, pigment rich formula, ARDENCY INN’S MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliners contain a waterproof, soft and creamy formula that allows ample time for blending when applied, but stays put well into the wee hours of the morning. Each holiday kit features product illustrations by Juliane Hennes, a German artist known for her high-fashion motifs and creative use of mixed mediums.

Headlining the campaign will be internationally recognized EDM Artist & DJ Audrey Napoleon. A local of TriBeCa in New York City, Audrey created the theme of the campaign: A modern, downtown Cleopatra.

The ARDENCY INN MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner Trio will retail for US$29.00 (value US$57.00) in the US and C$33.00 (value C$66.00) in Canada. The ARDENCY INN MODSTER Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner Travel Duo will retail for US$15.00(valueUS$27.00) in the US and C$17.00 (valueC$31.00) in Canada.

Inspired by downtown NYC music, Ardency Inn aims to go beyond! An introduction…

A little while ago, I attended the official launch of the 2013 WWD Newcomer of the Year,  makeup line Ardency Inn.  Ardency Inn has its roots in downtown NYC and aims to place makeup artistry into the hands of the songstresses and every woman.  By creating high quality, high performance makeup, any woman can be in control of her creativity.  The founders are heavily influenced by music and love the parallels of creativity in music and makeup.  They draw a lot of inspiration from local artists and they love creating amazing looks for performances.  Well-known makeup artist James Vincent is the makeup expert involved with this brand, and for me, I pretty much trust his opinion.

So I was excited to scope out this collection.  At this time, the product line is broken up into three collections – Americana – natural tones that are inspired by the multi-cultural heritage and free spirit of downtown New York;  Modster – Bright colors inspired by the mod subculture of high fashion and all-night clubs; Punker – edgy black inspired by darkly rimmed eyes and fierce attitude of punk rockers.  Pretty much you have all the colors to create whatever look you wanted.  

So check out some pictures below of the event as well as swatches of some of the products.

I have already used a couple of the products in an LOTD, which was music-inspired.  Check it out here.  Wait until you see my next LOTD!!!! Another music-inspiration and the person is one of my favourite artists!

These products are available at select Sephora stores and at sephora.com

Enjoy!

I have been ultra excited to put my hands on the new full colour collection being brought out by Mr. Jacobs! The Marc Jacobs Beauty collection comes out in the US on August 9, at Sephora stores and I heard that they may also be available at select Marc Jacobs boutiques.    They have been teasing us with pictures and Sephora had a 48-hour pre-sale that sold out in mere hours!  I love Marc Jacobs design aestetic and based on the price range, it looks like it will be more of a high-end line, akin to Tom Ford, Dior, Guerlain, YSL and Chanel.  Check out the website for more sneak peeks!
