Stock Up on New Spring Cos Bar Favorites

Mark your calendar: Spring is only a couple days away! That means you have the perfect excuse to update your cosmetics bag with the latest looks for the new season. According to Andrew C. Petersen, assistant manager of the Cos Bar Charleston, the look for spring is "simple," with a pop of color on the lips and eyes.

"One of my favorite products has been Laura Mercier's Bronzing Gel. It works with all skin tones, and it's a liquid formula so it's mistake-proof."Petersen says. 

As the weather turns increasingly humid, you'll also find yourself in need of a good primer. "It gets very humid in Charleston, so primers are important for making sure your foundation and makeup stay on," Petersen explains. "We love Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer. It has a flawless finish and keeps your makeup on all day."

But while Petersen believes that "less is more" for spring, especially in Charleston, he says his clients love a pop of color on the lips. "We've been selling Natura Bisse's NB Ceutical Lip Recovery Balm like crazy," he says. "We prep the lips with that, then add color. YSL's Sheer Candy lipsticks are amazing for a pop of color on the lips — they let you be a little daring with color, but since they're sheer, everyone can wear them."

Finally, your spring look is not complete without a fresh, signature scent. "My favorite go-to spring fragrance is Givenchy's Dahlia Noir," Petersen says. "It's a spring bouquet of fresh mimosa."

Cose Belle Featured at Fashion Under the Stars Event

Charleston fashionistas love any opportunity to see and be seen in their chicest summer finds, particularly when the stylish fete in question benefits a good cause and involves dramatic rooftop views. Crowds of beautiful people donned stilettos and made their way to the Rooftop at Vendue Inn for cocktails, great music, and an up-close and personal show of this season’s hottest looks at the Fashion Under the Stars Event. Guests mingled during the extended cocktail hour before eventually taking their seats and waiting for the evening’s main attraction to begin.

Escapada Living, Monkee’s of Daniel Island, Kenneth Beatrice, Coral Swimwear, and Cose Belle each stomped their way down the red carpet to DJ Moo Moo’s awesome beats with applause and catcalls erupting periodically throughout the show. Flashes lit up the night as the last model posed at the end of the red carpet, and the night began to draw to a close. Many guests lingered for one last cocktail before making their way home.

Fashion Under the Stars benefited Darkness to Light, a local organization that  works to end childhood sexual abuse through prevention, awareness, and education.
