thePULSEWhen it comes to formulating natural beauty essentials, Brook Harvey-Taylor draws inspiration from her passion in perfuming, which led to her deeper understanding about natural ingredients, evident in Pacifica’s latest color collection for Spring 2013.
The vision for this collection stems from a story of Brook watching her 10-year-old daughter putting on makeup in the mirror, mimicking her mother’s routine as she colored outside the lines. That adoring moment sparked a light bulb for Brook; she was inclined to create a make-up line for women to embody the playful essence of that little girl in front of the mirror that each of us has within.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” says Brook Harvey Taylor, co-founder and creator of Pacifica. “I want women to look and feel like their absolute best self when they put our makeup on, while knowing they made the right choice in natural beauty.”
Each “supernatural” product is designed to deliver a unique emotional experience, by putting the sexy back into natural. Committed to using highly effective mineral-based ingredients and nutrient-rich formulations, including hydrating coconut water, Pacifica strives to simplify and elevate daily beauty routines with fun, playful, sensual offerings.
The Pacifica Natural Mineral Color Collection will launch exclusively on Pacificaperfume.com. Products include:
