REVEL by JL recently released it’s Spring Passport collection and in a double whammy, announced former OMG Girl turned solo artist, Bahja Rodriguez as its band ambassador.
REVEL is a vibrant, new cosmetics line by celebrity stylist Julian Lark. The fun and stunning colors are a beautiful compliment to any trendsetter that exudes the glamour of Hollywood and the femininity of a woman.
Inspired by a woman who surrounds herself with style, luxury and glamour, REVEL is a must-have product for the woman who isn’t afraid of taking chances, marching to her own beat and displaying her desirability. The brand boasts of having make up products and tools that are modern, yet edgy and glide on silky and smooth without chapping.
“I wanted to create a brand that combined beauty and fashion and colors that would help take women from day to night,” said Lark, noting that he wanted REVEL to be a sexy, chic and sometimes naughty brand.
When asked what inspired the Passport Collection, Lark said, “The REVEL woman is about fashion and the world she lives in. She’s not stuck in just one place, so I wanted a collection that women could travel with, hence the Passport Collection. The colors are universal and work for all shades, so if you’re looking to be chic at work there are colors like Miss Manhattan, Shanghai and Barcelona. If you’re hitting the beach of Puerto Rico there are colors like A-list and Atlanta Thunder. If you’re out with the girls hitting the nightclubs in Tokyo you can rock Sin City, Upper EastSide or Jet Setter.”
So how did Rodriguez link up with the brand? Lark has worked with Rodriguez a few times before and says that he loved her personality and she embodies everything for which REVEL stands.
“I wanted to represent REVEL because I felt that it connected with me as a woman. I love makeup and all things beauty so to partner with such an amazing brand has been something that I’ve always wanted to do,” said Rodriguez, whose favorite products are the Naked in Milan and Atlanta Thunder lipsticks.
EGL put REVEL to the test and tried out one of the Revel lip glosses in a cool but semi-bright red. It goes on smoothly, but isn’t as pigmented as one might think. Depending on who you ask, that may be a pro or a con. It doesn’t feel heavy and gives you a nice natural sheen to your lips, depending on the color. However, you will have to apply several coats for a noticeable color. The packaging is indeed sleek and chic with prices ranging from $10 to $20 for makeup products. EGL gives it a thumbs up for a nice, everyday wear lip choice.
You can purchase REVEL products on the company’s website and the brand is currently working on its FALL collection and preparing to introduce a few new products this Summer.
