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.
