Tangerine Tango: Color of the Year!


I don't need much reason to hit up The Grove, one of my favorite spots to spend a lazy afternoon in the city, but it's been a while since I last paid the tourist attraction a visit. That is until last week, when I headed over to The Grove's Central Park to check out the Sephora pop-up shop introducing PANTONE  17-1463, also know as Tangerine Tango, Sephora + Pantone Universe's Color of the Year.


Tangerine Tango is described as "a vibrant orange reminiscent of the radiant shading of a sunset, the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow." It's one of those colors that looks good on everyone and can can be worn on the lips, eyes, nails or cheeks. It demands attention and can played in many different ways from sexy to just plain fun.


It makes perfect sense - Sephora is the leading beauty specialty retailer, Pantone Universe is the global color authority - why not join together to bring color and trend forecasting and amazing product collections?

The pop-up was filled with  the Sephora + Pantone Universe Capsule Collection which consists of the highly coveted Color of the Year creme lipstick (which I hear is flying off shelves), chrome blush and  lip gloss. The collection also offers gift sets, faux lashes and nail polish. There were also a few goodies from Sephora's own make-up collection  in varying shades of the bright hue.



I love that they even went tangerine cray-cray with the food! Tangerine tarts, fruit salad with goat cheese kabobs and other yummy hors d'oeuvres were served up making an already bright day even sunnier.


How would you rock Tangerine Tango?
