Yesterday we drove down to Philadelphia, PA to shoot a promo campaign for My Beautiful Rocket, an orange lipstick from the upcoming collection. Model Audrey Kitching & myself were photographed by Steve Prue in a make-shift rocket made out of chairs (stuff will be added in post-production).
The concept: a girl gets her very first rocket, similar to how we get our first car. It’s shiny, bright orange, and oh-so-beautiful! Her and her friend go for a wild ride through outer space.
Amazing outfits were designed for us by Jeantrix Clothing Co.
Upon meeting each other, Audrey and I both apologized for not talking much. This was due to being tired and overworked (me from the jetlag, her from shooting 19 outfits in one day) but soldiering on anyway, haha. After the shoot, we talked about how we work too much, but when we stop something feels off. It felt nice to meet someone who could relate for once! Most people just tell me to relax.
Accessories spread (thanks Erica!)
My Beautiful Rocket set will be released in September. By the way, I decided that in addition to a story, each lipstick will have a themed photoshoot attached to it! What do you guys think?
P.S. Remember the mysterious package? This is what it’s for.
ahh everything looks so nice!

Hah! Now we see what that helmet was for. I certainly hope you two had fun shooting through the universe with that stellar orange lipstick. Can’t wait to see the finished images!
So inventive! Love the each photoshoot idea, brill.
I love the idea of a photoshoot for each lipstick. I’m so excited to see the pictures.
The photoshoots sound so fantabulous.
absolutely wonderful Xenia! Cant wait to see the finished product and more!!! <3 ya!
Can’t wait to see the finished images! Audrey is incredible.
Ooh, I love coming up with photoshoot concepts! I definitely think you should do a different photoshoot for each of your new lipsticks. They deserve it!

Can’t wait to see the actual photos. The behind the scenes ones are great.
And you should really check out my frien Jen’s (Betty Sioux) clothing line. You would love it. Very colorful & fun! I’ve modeled in her fashion shows a bunch of times.

These photos are entirely too much fun. On a loosely related note, I’m wondering: What is your sign, and do you think it suits you?
Oh my gosh! Wonderful idea!
I must know about those adorable blue shoes though!! WHERE are they from!?
wow, can’t wait to see the results!
I LOVE the idea of photshoots for each lipstick color. Will you also be doing photoshoots for each product that’s already out, too? Or at least the eyeshadows?
A photoshoot for each lipstick shade? GENIUS! Can’t wait to see the finished photos!

DYING with anticipation!!! I can’t wait to see your theme pics, they are starting to look amazing and gorgeous :) Keep surprising us girl
Much love,

A photoshoot for each lipstick is a fabulous idea! You’re so innovative and imaginative, and I love the image of a teenage girl getting a rocket instead of a car!
Love the photoshoot idea! ^^ Still, I think you should put small icons instead of the full pictures, so the page won’t be heavy!
hugs,
Cacau
cant w8 to see the pics !

you two are my fashion idols and stuff.audrey’s hair looks in the first picture like cotton candy,the outfits are pure awesomeness and the concept is very unique.The photoshoot for every lipstick is the BEST idea EVER. I can’t wait to see them,and I know they will be extremely gorgeous and creative, just like you.
by the way: where are this shoes from?
I love you hair color soooo much… what do you use??
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. LOVE Audrey and her cotton-candy-pink hair. :)
Themed photoshoot for each lipstick sounds awesome! :D
The tutu and heels are like, *BAM* amazing.
Honestly, I don’t like it. Maybe post-production will make it look better, but it looks a little lame to me. It’s over styled, and it looks like you’re trying so hard to be different to other brands, which distracts from the products.
But then again, maybe it’s just that I dislike the orange lipsticks…
I say the more pretty, bright photos that are introduced to this world the better!
ooh are those irregular choice shoes I’m spotting? ;)
I’m loving the idea of themed photoshoots for each lipstick, and I think it would be even better if they matched the stories… anyway, looking forward to it!

The new banner is cute :)
I love that Miso Pretty bag.. Where can I find one like that? I searched online but all I came across were the shoppers and one shoulder bag.. I want!!!
I love the idea of themed photos per lipstick and i even love the idea of using me for one of the shoots*cough*
I absolutely love bright lipstick, im prob the only Black chick not scared to rock it !
Question, the blue rocket ship shoes shown in the accessories spread, what brand are they? Do you know where they can be purchased? I saw them in a store when they first came out, but I didn’t have the money for them at the time. Now I can’t find them anywhere. Help? Thank you!
i LOVE the idea for a photoshoot for each lipstick! its so imaginative and great! just like your eye shadows. most of them have a backstory such as “Circus Girl” or “Empress”. But if we have pictures of you modeling them…WOW~
Ooh! I like the idea of a photoshoot for each lipstick! *hyperventilates in anticipation* I am VERY curious to find out what the last colour will be…I actually had a dream about your lipstick (!!), and in it, the final colour was a shimmery aqua! I think it will be blue or silver though.
Alexis- methinks bright orange lippy would look HOT on dark skin! Doe’s makeup is definitely for The Unafraid! :)
I can’t believe you were in Philly! I wish I could have seen the shoot!
That bag in your accessories photo is too cute! Where’s it from?! I want it! ;o)
I have to know where those blue shoes came from O.O
The photo shoot idea is great! And I’ve always wanted you and Audrey to collaborate…
You are having WAY too much fun, love your new lipstick and tutu is adorable!
A photoshoot would be awesome, especially if they were themed after some of the winning entries.!
Finally! A really decent ORANGE lipstick! Thanks for ever!

That lipstick looks amazing!!! And I would love to see a photoshoot for each shade.
I love you in those bright yellow sunglasses. and the nailpolish was all great with Mybeautifulrocket. Oh and those shoes! I can’t wait for all the photoshoots when do we see this one?

I LOVE THIS! Audrey Kitching is my hero. She’s really the only celebrity type that I truly look up too. You’re one of my role models too. I’m hoping to get some stuff from Lime Crime (sadly I’m 16 and broke!!)and I can’t wait to wear it! You inspire me to push limits and not care what people think. Having a photoshoot for each lipstick is a great idea! xoxo
