New Collection to Launch in ULTA Beauty Store Nationwide Beginning this Month; London Shares Key Fashion and Beauty Fix-It Items Perfect for Summer Trends
MINNEAPOLIS and NEW YORK, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Stacy London, Style Ambassadress for Hollywood Fashion Secrets, the creator of double-side Fashion Tape® and the Style Essentials product category, today announced revealing news – some of the industry’s best tricks, tips and secrets that are essential for the summer season and its key fashion trends and activities.
“We all know the importance of accessories — shoes, handbags, belts and jewelry — to complete an outfit, but what most women don’t know are the tricks of the trade that deliver undercover wardrobe magic and help us all look perfectly put together,” said London. “Summer dressing, with its skin-baring apparel, is a key time for using these utility tools from Hollywood Fashion Secrets, which has created a collection of expert short-cuts that lift, hide, secure, tuck, tighten and hem. These essentials empower women to style themselves with certainty and try out a new fashion trend with more confidence.”
Here are some top Summer trends enabled by Hollywood Fashion Secrets revealed from Stacy London:
- Sideboob-Baring Silhouettes — “Sideboob is the new cleavage,” said London. Side-exposing tops and dresses are all the rage this summer. Use Fashion Tape to keep just the right amount of breast flesh exposed.
- Light-weight fabrics — from sexy rompers to mini dresses, Summer’s hottest silhouettes are made of thin fabrics. Wear Silicone CoverUps (nipple concealers), which deperkify and deliver a smooth contoured look. These indispensable concealers are self-adhesive, stay in place and are re-usable up to 25-plus times!
- Racer-Back Tanks — when wearing the racer-back style, peek-a-boo bra straps can distract from the look. The Bra Converter Clip is perfect to adjust a traditional bra into a racer-back style and eliminate straps from showing.
- Crop Tops – keep them in place and with less risk of rising with Fashion Tape!
- Strappy sandals and gladiators – keep the straps perfectly in place with Accessory Dots. These little bits of tape are great to keep the thin belt strap intact too!
Beauty Tips:
- Half Moon or Hombre Nails – DIY perfectly with Nail Polish Remover Swabs.
- Beat the heat with fresh-on-the-go “handbag-ready” items like Deodorant Wipes, which let women freshen up with one swipe; Oil Blotting Tissues, to de-shine with a quick pat; and Eye Makeup Remover swabs, for easy touch-ups in an instant.
- Deodorant Removing Sponge – removes deodorant, pet hair and makeup off any type of fabric from Lycra swimsuits to cotton and silk.

Beginning this month, many of these Top-to-Toe Style Essentials, among others, will launch in ULTA Beauty stores in a new merchandising fixture designed to showcase the Hollywood Fashion Secrets product collection in an easy-to-shop system.
