Beauty Beat: All the Details on the Marc Jacobs x Sephora Makeup Line

We told you a little over a year ago that Marc Jacobs would be doing a makeup line, and we've finally got some details, plus a sneak peek of the collection! First off, it boasts a whopping 122 products that will come in four different categories: Smart Complexion (foundations, concealer, and powder), Blacquer (eyeliner, lash lifter, and gel crayon), Hi-Per Color (lip products, blush, eye shadow, bronzer, and nail polish) and Boy Tested, Girl Approved (unisex products such as lip balm, brow gel, and concealer).

As for the collection? Don't expect naturals and nudes. If you've ever seen a Marc Jacobs runway, you know the man is a fan of color. He told WWD, "that's a little lazy." Jacobs was part of the whole process for this beauty line. The names of the products, the packaging, colors, etc., were all inspired by his (very colorful) tattoos, favorite movies, and so on and so forth. Basically, it's all going to be very Marc. "We spent a lot of time developing materials and choosing the colors. We work with the technicians at the mills to achieve a certain effect, so we did the same thing with Sephora. The color palette tells a story and that story is based on a spirit. I chose different types of characters, such as an ingenue."

The pricing is a little on the high side, ranging from around $24 for lip balm to $59 for an eye shadow palette. The Marc Jacobs x Sephora collection will debut at Sephora stores and Marc Jacobs boutiques August 9, 2013. Mark your calenders! For now, check out the sneak peek below.










Have a great weekend!

Zac Posen to Design Lower-Priced Line for David's Bridal

Attention all brides-to-be! Red carpet favorite, Zac Posen, is set to design a lower-priced wedding line for David's Bridal! Is that the fashion news of the day or what!? The line is called Truly Zac Posen, and it will consist of six styles that range in price from $850 to $1,350, plus five special occasion dresses that will be priced from $195 to $225.

There is a wide range of sizes too, which is quite unusual when coming from such a high-end designer. Off the rack will be 0 to 14, and brides will be able to special order plus-sizes 16 to 26 too. Another lovely detail? Each one will come with a  tag that reads like a personal little love note from the designer. Nice, right? We all know Posen knows how to knock a red carpet dress out of the park, and he's definitely no slouch when it comes to wedding gowns, so we can't wait to grab a sneak peek of the line. The collection launches February 2014. Until then!

Shoe News: More on Sarah Jessica Parker's New Shoe Line, SJP

We have a couple of little details to add to the Sarah Jessica Parker shoe line announcement that was made last week. And while it's nothing major, at least we're all getting a little bit of insight into what this new SJP footwear (bag and trench) collection will entail.

"We thought [about the metropolitan New York woman]. A beautiful coat, bag and pair of shoes--they all kind of go together. It seemed tight. It didn't seem like we were trying to sell a bunch of junk to people," Parker told WWD.

We also know that there will be grosgrain involved, which is a bit surprising since this is a rather sweet and preppy fabric that we mostly only picture on little girls hair bows, but it could be cute. The other tiny detail is that the shoes won't be shiny. That would be a no-go for Miss SJP, seeing as she also told WWD, "I don't like a shoe to be too shiny. Sometimes it loses its chicness." Apparently she feels suede is the way to go. Well, we're definitely on board with a good chic heel, and hopefully we'll get to see some of these non-tacky details soon. Check back for updates.

The Next Big Designer Collaboration: Isabel Marant for H&M!

This is really happening: Isabel Marant for H&M! The reigning queen of Parisian cool (and creator of the infamous wedge sneaker) is doing a collection for the retailer, and if you couldn't tell, we are kind of beyond excited about it. Marant is the best at creating pieces that we all just want to wear. It's that totally chic girl that looks like she isn't even trying, which is basically what we all want to achieve when it comes to fashion. But, this effortless style comes at quite the price, so we are loving that this collaboration will help make her amazing duds much more accessible.

"I aim at creating something real--something women want to wear in their everyday lives--with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: You dress up, but don't pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be combined following one's own instincts, and my take on fashion is all about personality."

Exactly what we want! The Isabel Marant for H&M collection drops in 250 stores and online on November 14. Stay tuned!
