Artists Levi and Gabrielle see a new
way to represent the Caribbean in black
and white. The couple gets their inspiration
from everyday life; they photograph
scenery and then digitally transform it
into something that expresses their unique
creativity. For Gabrielle, her art is for those
who love the Caribbean, especially the
folks living abroad who crave for a piece of
the islands! Visit www.emirco-studios.com for more details.
The name Calvin French is one that’s synonymous with gorgeous photographs.
Trinidad-born French has worked with several international magazines including
Vogue, GQ, Bazaar, Cosmo, and Gentleman¹s Option and many other publications
throughout the Caribbean, not to mention your very own Caribbean Belle! In person,
French is as colorful as his photographs in both his mannerisms and speech.The words
‘fabulous’ and the ‘b’ word litter his conversations often before or just after he lets out
his raucous cackle of a laugh. His book Saga Boy represents French’s photographic
take on the fashionable Caribbean man as seen through his lens.
What's it all about?
Joli is a mineral make-up line that's
tailored to beautifully enhance the skin
tones of Caribbean women. From the
four major undertones-golden, warm,
cool, and neutral---eome twelve standard
shades of mineral foundation that
you can get custom-blended to match
your complexion, no matter how
unusual it is! The Joli mineral make-up
line also includes mineral veils, blushes,
eye shadows, and lipsticks.
Why we're thrilled about Joti!
Let's face it. The cosmetic needs of
women living in the tropics aren't always
satisfied by run-of-the-mill offerings. In
addition to satisfying the need for unusual
shades of make-up, loli also contains a
natural SPF to protect you from the sun's
harmful rays, and has a much longer
shelf-life and staying power-simply ideal
for our humid climate.
We're also happy about it being allnatural,
because that can't ever be bad
for your skin. Made with high-grade
minerals found naturally in the earth,
the make-up contains no additives,
preservatives, fillers, perfumes or
chemicals. It's non-comedogenic, which
means it won't clog your pores or cause acne, and it’s also
very gentle for even
the most sensitive skin.
To top it all off,
we’re also really
proud that Joli
was launched by
Trinidad and
Tobago’s very own
Jamie Rampersad!
Must-have goodies
from the Joli line
In addition to getting your perfect
shade of foundation, be sure to try out
Joli’s mascara primer, eye shadow primer,
and lip primer. These products battle
against our climate’s humidity so that your make-up lasts much longer!
