Urban Decay (L) and OPI (R)
Lots of good news on the beauty side today, so decided to do a beauty roundup rather than posting each one separately. Get pretty!
Alice in Wonderland seems to be popular amongst the beauty brands right now, Disney Consumer Products approached Urban Decay and OPI resulting in two beauty collections inspired by the upcoming movie. According to WWD, the collections interpret the characters in director Tim Burton’s take on the Lewis Carroll book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”.
“Burton is dark and edgy, yet everything he does is really beautiful at the same time,” said Wende Zomnir, Urban Decay’s creative director and co-founder. “I felt it was a perfect match for Urban Decay to do a palette based on his vision.”
“Everybody wants to be somebody. If they like an actor or actress, they can associate a nail lacquer with their character, and it gets them closer,” Suzi Weiss-Fleischmann, OPI executive vice president and creative director said. “These collaborations draw the consumer more and more to a movie and a [nail lacquer] color.”
Urban Decay created a limited edition palette, a “Alice in Wonderland” version of Urban Decay’s Book of Shadows products, covered in a pattern with teapots and cups, and opens to reveal a pop-up drawing of Alice, recently shrunken by the “drink me” bottle contents, in the mushroom forest. Inside, there are 16 shadows with “Alice in Wonderland”-related names, such as a bright blue called Alice, and a white shade called White Rabbit, as well as two travel-size 24/7 Eye Pencils and one 0.13-oz. Eyeshadow Primer Potion. The palette retails for $52 and will be sold at Sephora, Ulta and Macy’s.
OPI created four nail lacquers in the “Alice in Wonderland” set: Absolutely Alice, a blue glitter; Thanks So Muchness, a red shimmer; Off With Her Red, a vivid red, and Mad as a Hatter, a black multiglitter shade. Each retails for $8.50 and will be released this month, available at Ulta, J.C. Penney, Dillard’s, Pure Beauty, BeautyFirst, Chatters, Regis, Trade Secret and Beauty Brands.
