Sephora beauty and Pantone LLC have joined together to create an amazing partnership to change how women wear, feel and think about color. This is the first year, spring 2012, they have launched the Sephora + Pantone Universe collection. This is the first ever Color of the Year (COY) beauty collection and the color of 2012 is PANTONE 17-1463 Tangerine Tango. This vibrant color easily transforms any look with bold and playful textures that compliments eyes, cheeks, lips and nails. What’s great about the 2012 Color of the Year is it’s versatility. Tangerine Tango looks amazing on all skin tones!

To celebrate the launch of the Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year collection, Sephora introduced the Pop-Up Color Shop at The Grove in LA where myself and other members of the media were able to see, feel and experience the collection first hand and as a fan of bold and bright colors (especially lipsticks) I was obsessed with Tangerine Tango.

This was the first time a Pop-Up Color Shop was done and it was beautifully executed. There were Sephora artists who were demonstrating how to wear each of the pieces and how to incorporate them in to your daily routine, which is helpful for women who are not use to such bold colors in their daily routine.

I was able to try the Tangerine Tango eyeliners, the creme lipstick and the both the matte and shimmer blush. Each items was better then the next, with my favorite being the lipstick. Very bright and bold and easily gives any woman a beautiful and bright sun-kiss look.

The polishes above are to die for and for any girl who loves to keep her fingers bright, these are a mist have!
