Kim Kardashian West Pops In at Pop-Up Shop

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian West arrived in style Saturday at her pop up shop, with her mom Kris close by.

After the event, as Kim walked out of Spago in Bev Hills, she told our photog she and Tristan Thompson were besties. Sounds like she buried the hatchet because she was furious at him after the cheating scandal.

Kim showed up at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. -- which carries products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines -- to hang out with 50 lucky fans and their guests at a private event Saturday evening with her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

Kim first went to her pop up where a few fans who were shopping got to meet her and take pics with her. Then she headed to a private rooftop venue to do one-on-one photos with a line of fans. The venue included an open bar and a candy station.

We broke the story ... Kim held a raffle for a chance to attend the celebration with her and Mario for free, and 50 winners were invited to attend. It's a pretty big deal, too ... fans usually pay hundred for Mario's makeup tutorials.

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian West is giving fans who visit her first-ever pop-up store more than just a chance to buy her KKW products ... she's giving them a chance to hang out with her too.

Kim's pop-up will open Wednesday at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. and will carry products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines. We're told there's an added bonus for those who visit in the first week ... a chance to attend a private event with Kim and her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

The shop is hosting a raffle from which 50 names will be picked ... and winners will get to bring a guest to the event at the end of the month to celebrate with Kim and Mario. The best part? Fans can still enter without having to buy a single thing.

People pay hundreds of dollars just to get into Mario's Master Class on makeup tutorials, so the raffle is a sweet deal.

LaMelo Ball Chops His Famous Locks ... I've Got Waves Now!

Published | Updated

LaMelo Ball just changed his image in a big way -- losing his signature shaggy hairstyle ... and replacing it with some killer waves!

There had been rumors LaMelo axed his Odell Beckham-style hairdo after he came back from Lithuania ... but now he's confirmed the change -- posting the pics on Instagram.

Looks like 'Melo's hair inspiration could be his own brother, Lonzo ... who has a similar wavy cut of his own.

It's a bizarre move for 'Melo, considering the hair was part of his signature look -- and helped him stand out from the rest of his family.

Don't expect the new look to 'do -- 'Melo already posted on social media, "I miss my old hair."

Kylie Jenner's pop-up shop damn near shut down an entire major city ... and this ain't lip service.

Kylie was in San Francisco where more than 2,000 crazed fans of the pouty reality star/makeup mogul took over ... as lines snaked around Union Square. How intense and important was this for Kylie fanatics? Tons of fans reportedly camped out and started lining up since Wednesday. Yikes!

Several streets had to be shut down in order to reign in the chaos. The shop opened at 10 AM. The draw wasn't just her famous lip kits, Kyshadows or Kyliners -- but Kylie herself.

According to Kylie ... the pop-up shop featured "custom San Francisco merchandise." Now that's catering to your crowd.

Kourtney Kardashian Meeting With Congress To Talk Cosmetics

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian is about to dip her toes into D.C. politics ... and it's all in the name of cosmetics.

Our Kardashian sources say Kourtney will come face-to-face with several members of Congress Tuesday in hopes of helping to reform the laws that regulate cosmetics and other personal care products. We're told Kourt's teamed up with the Environmental Working Group for the trip.

Kourtney touched down in D.C. Monday, where she was joined by the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" camera crew to capture the meetings. Our sources say the 'KUWTK' staff booked a block of hotel rooms and a conference room, as well, but it's unclear if other family members will join.

Kourtney's been a huge promoter of environmentally safe products in the past -- and she recently teamed up with Kylie for a cosmetics collaboration -- so it seems like Kourt wants to make sure she's putting out a healthy product for users and the planet.

Kim Kardashian West Gearing Up to Launch Lingerie & Shapewear Line

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashain West is wasting no time in getting back into the clothing industry after announcing the end of DASH -- she's already hard at work on her own lingerie, intimates and shapewear line.

Sources close to KKW tell us for the last several months Kim's been developing a new brand that will serve all women. We're told it's not just Kim's name that will appear on the product ... she's had a hand in just about every aspect of the line's foundation -- from design to marketing -- and will run it top to bottom.

Our sources say Kim's teamed up with the same group behind Khloe's successful Good American brand as well as Frame and MR Porter.

Pretty quick turnaround, considering Kim, Kourtney and Khloe just announced on Thursday they'll be closing their DASH stores.

We're told the line should be out by year's end.

The Kardashians DASH Stores Are No More! We're Closing Our Doors

Published | Updated

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are pulling the plug on their boutiques after nearly 12 years of being in business ... TMZ has learned.

DASH stores in L.A. and Miami, which sell the sisters' lines of clothing and accessories, will be closing up shop soon. Kim says ... "We’ve loved running DASH, but in the last few years we’ve all grown so much individually. We’ve been busy running our own brands, as well as being moms and balancing work with our families. We know in our hearts that it’s time to move on."

She added, in a statement on her app, "We have to give a special thanks to the DASH employees and all of the incredible fans and customers who have supported us throughout the years!"

The Kardashians' New York shop closed in December 2016, and on an episode of 'KUWTK' they blamed it on NYC's extremely high rents.

The DASH stores are regularly featured on their show, and even got a spin-off called "Dash Dolls" ... but it only lasted one season.

Not that there's been a lack of drama -- a woman was arrested last year after pointing a gun at a cashier at DASH in L.A. and returning later to brandish a machete ... where she was caught on video.

Gwen Stefani Going Hard In The P8NT With Own Cosmetics Line

Published | Updated

Gwen Stefani's already mastered "The Voice" and now it looks like she's moving on to the face with her own line of cosmetics.

Gwen's applied to trademark P8NT -- as in "paint" -- for her own makeup line. It's a clever name considering it'll include everything from nail polishes to hair color, in addition to the usual eyeliners, powders and lipsticks. Perfumes, moisturizers and sunscreens are also in the mix.

She's got a bit of experience in the makeup department. A few years back she partnered with Urban Decay for a makeup collection. If Gwen's branching out on her own, the collab must've no doubt gone well.

Serena Williams Ready to Dominate In the Cosmetics Game!!!

Published | Updated

Serena Williams wants to serve an ace on yo face ... with a new cosmetics line.

The tennis great filed legal docs to trademark "Aneres" (spells Serena backwards, btw). Serena had already locked down the name a while back, but it was for her clothing line. It looks like she now plans to slap her backwards name on a variety of beauty products. Boss move.

Serena's cosmetics vision includes skin care prep and makeup removing products, colognes and perfumes. There are also makeup kits, bath soaps, lipstick, lip gloss, eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara.

Kylie, your competition has arrived.

Hard Candy Pulls #MeToo Trademark After Backlash

Published | Updated

That was quick ... Hard Candy is dropping its push to trademark #MeToo for cosmetics after getting some serious backlash over the move.

TMZ broke the story Wednesday ... if the application was approved, Hard Candy would put the #MeToo on some of its products, but also intended to donate revenue to the movement. But CEO Jerome Falic now tells us ... the project didn't go over well with some customers.

Angry reactions on social media included claims the company was trying to glamorize, commercialize and capitalize on rape culture.

Falic says they abandoned the application based on the response from the public. Still, he says they were going to donate 100% of profits from the #MeToo sales, and "our objective was to bring greater awareness to this important and long overdue movement."

He adds, Hard Candy will continue to support "the work of this watershed movement and other causes that respect the dignity of women and all people."

Hard Candy Makeup Polishing Up for #MeToo Movement

Published | Updated

The #MeToo movement is about to be way more in fashion ... if Hard Candy Cosmetics gets its way.

The cosmetics giant has applied to trademark #MeToo for fragrances and makeup ... which we're guessing means you'll see the hashtag on lipsticks, nail polishes, mascaras and whatnot.

We know what you're thinking, but CEO Jerome Falic tells us this isn't a straight cash grab. He says the company's intention is to give back to women worldwide. He wasn't more specific than that -- but an industry source tells us the plan is to donate proceeds to the #MeToo cause.

Falic says they're still in planning stages, so it's unclear which products will get the hashtag treatment if the trademark's approved.

Women's March Pussyhats Move Over, Douche ... Pussy Power Getting New Scent

Published | Updated

The scent of a woman will be pussy if a budding entrepreneur can nail down a trademark for her new line of fragrances inspired by the enduring symbol of the Women's March ... the pussyhat.

Fran Moss filed docs with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in hopes of flooding the market with fragrance-emitting wicks, sachets, pet sprays, body sprays and perfumes -- all with the pussy label.

According to the docs, Fran's toying with product names like pussy juice, pussy power, pussy now, and pussy positive. She also wants her trademark to include the "pussy power color" pink, and the pussyhat ears.

Good luck, Fran -- and if you're looking for a spokeswoman ...

Meghan Markle She Can Still Have a Side Hustle

Published | Updated

Meghan Markle has nothing standing in her way if she ever wants to start a beauty line once she joins the royal family.

Reports surfaced Tuesday that Markle was partnering up with Victoria Beckham on a bio-botox line, but we're told they're completely untrue.

Palace sources tell us Meghan's future royal status won't prevent her from diving into her own business once she's married to Prince Harry. There are no U.K. laws that prohibit a member of the royal family from having a side hustle. All she has to do is follow the same rules as the normies, and she's good to go.

And, we're told, Royal protocol does not prohibit business ventures by someone in Markle's position. The Countess of Wessex, who married Prince Edward, ran a PR company after becoming a royal fam member.

Meghan had run her own lifestyle blog, The Tig, but shut it down after 3 years.

Kim Kardashian's Perfume Line Australians Say Somethin' Stinks

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian's Crystal Gardenia perfume line has been a worldwide smash ... problem is, customers in Australia, New Zealand and other countries have plunked down the cash but still don't smell nice.

TMZ has learned the perfume is considered a "flammable/hazardous material" because of its alcohol content and can't be shipped by FedEx and other carriers. Overseas customers have been complaining because there was no warning on Kim's website that there were blackout zones.

Sources connected to Kim tell us she and her people were first told there wouldn't be an issue in shipping the goods overseas. Now that they know, they're in the process of contacting customers one by one who are still empty-handed, promising a full refund.

At the time of this post Kim's website was not updated with the blackout zones, but we're told that will happen STAT.

Kylie Jenner Early Christmas At Her L.A. Pop-Up Shop

Published | Updated

No, that's not a Black Friday mob at Walmart -- it's the opening of the Kylie Cosmetics pop-up shop in L.A. and, so far at least, no one's been injured fighting over a lip kit.

Still, super eager shoppers waited their turn inside the Topshop at The Grove, when the doors swung open Monday for Kylie's gear.

It's one of 7 cosmetics pop-ups Kylie's opening across the US for the holiday shopping season. Others opened in Chicago, Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, Houston and New York.

Kylie wasn't there for obvious reasons, but members of her glam squad were giving makeup tutorials. Based on the crowds ... we suspect Kylie will be able to afford gifts this holiday season.
