beauty news: Hourglass Debuts Flagship Store in Los Angeles

bonjour, beauties! how has your week been so far? mine has been a mix of highs and lows, but i can't complain. that said, i'm especially excited to share the following beauty news with you…

 Hourglass, one of my favorite luxury beauty brands, has finally opened a brick and mortar shop in los angeles!

 "it is a milestone occasion," says Hourglass founder and CEO Carisa Janes. "a brick-and-mortar location is an opportunity to bring the brand to life with state-of-the-art design and exceptional service."

the space, which opened last week, is 1400-square-feet and features a mix of reflective surfaces and captivating materials. the beauty and product visuals mirror the brand's modern luxury positioning, and you'll also find exclusive merchandise, including a new skincare capsule, in addition to unique makeup services.

sounds fabulous, right? and the images confirm it…

"when i launched the brand in 2004 my focus was on advanced ingredients, modern design and exceptional functionality," adds Janes. "now, a decade later, we are elaborating on this concept with an innovative new store. it's strong and clean, with an element of femininity ~ the essence of Hourglass."

the new store looks gorgeous, and i'm sure it will always be packed with beauty fans and brand devotees daily. will you be paying this new location a visit?

 the new Hourglass flagship store is located at 1351 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice, Ca; call 310.392.3409 for more info.
