In the world of mens shaving skincare there is usually not too much going on, at least nothing in comparison to the women’s cosmetics world. This week we come across an interesting new line – TwinLuxe. The outcome is a fine collection of skincare and shaving accessories, designed by the same designer, who was also responsible for the Rolls-Royce Phantom car line-up, which sounds very promising.

“Founded by identical twin brothers Anthony and Hubert Tsai, TwinLuxe is a comprehensive, luxury men’s grooming brand that caters to all skin types. With a variety of products and tools, the TwinLuxe experience consists of two synchronized elements, Fine Shaving Instruments and Shaving Skincare.

Designed by renowned designer Marek Djordjevic, whose works include exterior designs of the Rolls-Royce™ Phantom family of cars, TwinLuxe Fine Shaving Instruments, including an unparalleled razor and brush, are designed and manufactured with the utmost respect and attention to design, craftsmanship, materials and innovative technologies. Materials used to create the instruments include unbleached silvertip badger fur washed, sorted and dressed in Germany, highly wear-resistant PVD coating and alumina ceramic. TwinLuxe Fine Shaving Instruments are available in the Chrome Edition, Anthracite Edition and Arctic Edition.

TwinLuxe Shaving Skincare includes a variety of multi-functional luxurious formulations that can be intermixed for a customized result. The unique, comprehensive line incorporates a custom blend of ingredients, focusing on scientifically-proven beneficial Asian botanicals, such as Pearl Powder and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, fused with the latest dermatologic offerings. Products available include: Smooth Shave Cream, Renewing Face Wash & Scrub, Booster Serum, Instant Rescue Gel, Soothing Face Balm, Instant Energy Mist, and Daily Detox Face Wash & Mask.”

The complete skincare line is now available from colette.

Last night the new collaboration between Kiehl’s and Jeff Koons was launched at the brand’s New York flagship store.

“Last night, Jeff Koons “A Wonderland of Merry”collection launched officially at Kiehl’s New York Flagship. Since we’re not immune to the lure of art star paparazzi photography – here’s one, just one, of Mr. Koons and Kaws.

The highlight of the event is the window display, and of course Koons’ packaging design. Koons brings a fresh look to the world famous apothecary company (founded in 1851), the bold candy color hearts and flowers fitting the Kiehl’s bill nicely.

Most importantly: 100% of Kiehl’s net profits from the sale of each product will benefit The Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).”

Check out the complete recap of the event here.

Once again Kiehl’s has teamed up with art superstar Jeff Koons to offer some limited edition product for the holiday season, all featuring the artist’s Tulips work.

“We are pleased to announce a collaboration with one of the foremost internationally recognized contemporary artists, Jeff Koons who is using his creative genius to help children in need around the world. With the shared vision of creating safer, more sustainable environments for children, the Kiehl’s and KOONS partnership will raise awareness and funds through the sale of the Limited Edition Creme de Corps Holiday Collection, a four-product collection featuring the newest formulation, Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter.

100% of Kiehl’s net profits from the sale of each product will benefit The Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).”

Giving more importance to their line-up of cosmetics brands, Parisian concept store colette has launched “la pharmacie” – the pharmecie. The space on the first floor of the store brings together all their cosmetics brands, including Kiehl’s, Aesop, Uslu Airlines and many more.

Awhile back we gave you a look at Kiehl’s Earth Day collab product with Pharrell Williams, artist Jeff Koons, surfer Malia Jones and actress Julianne Moore. Today, the NY-based label has released David LaChapelle’s campaign shots of each celeb posing alongside their personalized bottle of Acai Damage-Protective Mist. Stunning. The bottles are available now here, with 100% of the net profits (up to $200,000) benefiting the Rainforest Alliance.

Jeff Koons and Malia Jones photos can be seen after the click.

After having worked with Kaws previously, Kiehl’s has worked for Earth Day 2010 with Jeff Koons, Pharrell Williams, Julianne Moore and surfer Malia Jones as part of their “Friends of Kiehl’s” initiative on the Acai Damage-Protecting Mist in the form of collectors bottles, for which they each contributed the bottle label design. “Friends of Kiehl’s” strives to double their donation from 200 and would like to donate 200′000 USD of the proceeds of the sales to the Rainforest Alliance.

To support the initiative, celebrity photographer David LaChapelle will capture each personality in his unique style. Hopefully we can soon show you images of that as well.

UPDATE: We have exchanged the images for the correct product images, including some great close-ups of each bottle and artwork after the jump.

A while back we reported about the collaboration between Kaws and Kiehl’s. In the mean time it has been released around the globe, but there is more to come from the project. Here we take a look at the limited edition bottle that the artist designed. These special bottles come with a Kaws Companion toy at the top. Furthermore they worked with Harper’s Bazaar Korea on a cover feature and spread in the magazine.
