Counter Culture: The Beauty Closet

Counter Culture: The Beauty Closet

Small and cozy, the Beauty Closet’s range of offerings is anything but diminutive. The woman behind this beauty destination, former editor of Makeup Artist magazine and Beauty Director for Makeup411.com, Shannon Levy, fills her Studio City boutique with the best of the best in cosmetics, fragrance and makeup accessories. Exclusive lines like Kevyn Aucoin, Hourglass, Paul & Joe, and Kai grace the well-stocked shelves, appealing to makeup artist and junkies, as well as individuals who just want quality cosmetics. As if that weren’t enough, Beauty Closet also offers makeup application, eyebrow shaping, lash tinting and facial waxing by appointment.

All this makes us love The Beauty Closet, and we couldn’t miss the chance to hear what Shannon had to say about her big sellers and personal faves:

BEAUTY BLENDER: “I’ve turned so many people onto this elliptical shaped, pink sponge, and now they can’t live without it! It’s really a genius product”

Scott Barnes CHIC PALETTES: “The trio of blushes in each palette are perfectly complementary and go on so velvety. I am obsessed with ‘Honey.’ I think everyone should own it.”

THE LIP SCRUB by Sara Happ: “We love this exfoliating, sugar-based lip scrub. It comes in an array of yummy flavors and keeps our lips flake-free. Ashlee Simpson picks this up from us.”

KAI PERFUME OIL:“This roll-on perfume oil has a cult-following. Even those who experience it for the first time in our shop are quick converts.”

Kevyn Aucoin THE LIQUID LIPSTICK:“This is a perfect lipstick and gloss in one that comes in five gorgeous and wearable colors”

I drove out there from the beach because they offer artists a 30% discount on Scott Barnes and 15% off of everything else. I bought Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX07, Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Moist Glow in Tansoleil, the Beauty Blender pink egg sponge, Scott Barnes Glamour on the Go palette in Stunning and Scott Barnes Luminizing Mist. And I woke up this morning already wanting to go back for more!

I am obsessed with this store. They have something for everyone. The perfumes are to die for, I just purchased the Rosie Baback Vanilla, and I want to eat myself!! The Scott Barnes eye liner is like velvet. I was literally in the store for an hour. Shannon was there while I was shopping, and she was so helpful and sweet. Get in your car and drive to this store. NOW!

the liquid lipstick never looks formal, it gives a young sexy look. These from K.A. are my favorite
