Alison Raffaele Cosmetics to Launch in Holts Colour Studio
New York, NY, March 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The new “naturally evolved” Alison Raffaele cosmetics line will make its debut this March at Holt Renfrew’s innovative Holts Colour Studio in Vancouver, Canada.
Created to highlight the most sought after brands emerging on the global scene, Holts Colour Studio was designed to encourage trend-driven customers to experiment with new cosmetic products in a “laboratory type setting” that is also friendly and fun. Set center stage within the cosmetic department, Holts Colour Studio allows consumers to try cutting-edge make-up and skincare products while enjoying a unique shopping experience.
The new Alison Raffaele line was a perfect fit for the concept due to its unique positioning as the first makeup artist-developed brand committed to creating professional-quality, environmentally-responsible products. Formulated without parabens, talc, mineral oil, gluten or fragrance, Raffaele’s new 22 sku line features her proprietary “Frutta di Vita” anti-oxidant complex which contains bio-transformed pomegranate, goji berry and resveratrol extracts to shield the skin from environmental stressors. The newly launching line of products will offer recyclable, recycled, biodegradable and Forest Stewardship Council certified packaging to reinforce the brand’s commitment to being “eco-friendly”. According to Raffaele, the line “is something I feel good about offering and also something socially aware customers can feel good about buying.”
About Alison Raffaele: Alison Raffaele began her career as the head assistant to internationally celebrated makeup artist Bobbi Brown in 1992 and quickly climbed the ranks to become Bobbi Brown’s first National Makeup Artist and International Trainer. In this position, Alison lent her expert advice and artistry to print and television media, including Cosmopolitan, InStyle, Allure, Vogue, Town & Country, Rolling Stone and Glamour.
