Immortelle-ity

It’s not often we get a scoop like today. Although we’re known for our in-depth research, thorough investigations and incisive reviews (we don’t like to brag), sometimes things just fall into the Premium lap… and we’re not complaining.
Gentlemen, we must warn you: we’re about to talk about make-up. If you’re into that sort of thing – as you were.
If Carnival make-up is personified by excited bursts of fluorescent colour, spurts of glitter dust and bodies canvassed in paint, Immortelle Beauty is its ethereal older sister. Advanced and elegant, this exclusive cosmetics brand mirrors the Caribbean woman, exuding a glowing softness and sophistication. And as far as exclusives go, Immortelle Beauty is supplying the Tribe band – and only the Tribe band – with items from its new Carnival Collection. While you take a minute to think about switching bands, we’ll tell you about the goods. After last year’s glitter debacle, you would do well to pay attention… or at least take it under advisement.
Immortelle’s Carnival 2KShine Glitter Gel paves the way for glitter application. We’re talking Mariah Carey-type glitter - but better, and without the bad reviews. Its long-lasting, rub-off-resistant nature guarantees shine throughout the day (moonshine, fortunately, is something else). Ever heard the saying: one man’s perfect day is another man’s sunburn? The Carnival Collection also provides, with the masquerader in mind, a Carnival Cool-Down Lotion; just your friendly, neighbourhood protection from Trinidad’s temperamental rays… with a calming fragrance. But you’d be especially fond of the Soothing Foot Soak and the relief it brings after two full days on the road. Combining Bolivian Pink Salt and traditional sea salt, infused with the essential oils of lavender, bitter orange and Jamaican allspice, we can’t help but think it’s what Givenchy would do with Epsom salts.
Beyond Carnival you can look forward to a range of cosmetic products from Immortelle Beauty, targeted specifically toward the Caribbean woman. This technologically sublime brand includes hair and skin care, and colour cosmetics that were engineered to cohere to the climate, lifestyle and tastes of the Caribbean woman. But if you’re not in Tribe (we do expect some gestapo tactics), you’ll have to hang on to your St. Ives a little while longer: Immortelle Beauty is keeping mum about its launch date and outlet location.
We could just tell you, but what fun would that be?
