Ever wanted your very own blended lipstick? A customized lipstick or gloss that would be blended just for you with the help of a beauty consultant?

Well, Holland America Line is now offering that lovely beauty option. The cruise line has announced it is going glam with the very first lipstick blending bar at sea.

“Today’s travelers are looking for more than just a vacation,” Carole Biencourt, vice president of onboard revenue for Holland America Line, said in a press release.

“They want exclusive experiences like Blend Bar that feel personal, immersive and meaningful,” she said. “We’re excited to launch the first lipstick blending bar at sea, where our beauty-loving guests can express themselves and create a unique souvenir of their time on board.”

The hands-on Blend Bar experience is guided by an expert beauty consultant who will help guests create a wearable memory of their cruise vacation.

                                          Blend Bar Offers Wide Choices

Blend Bar offers a palette of more than 30 premium pigments, four luxurious finished and more than 20 signature flavors to craft a custom lipstick or gloss.

Perfect for any age and bookable for individual or group experiences, Blend Bar is in the beauty section of the shipboard shops. The Blend Bar experience is $65 for a custom lipstick or liquid matte and $60 per tube of lip gloss.

The blending experience currently is available on Nieuw Statendam, Eurodam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Zuiderdam, Volendam and Zaandam.

The rollout of Blend Bar to the remaining four ships in the fleet will be completed by mid-November.

                                How to Create a Unique Lipstick or Gloss

Working together with the consultant, guests choose their colors to create a one-of-a-kind hue, match a favorite discontinued color or formulate the perfect shade that complements an outfit.

Each tailored blend can be made into one of four finishes – butter, crème, matte or gloss.

Elevating the customization, guests can choose from more than 20 flavors and essences, and dimension can be added with frost, shimmer or iridescent effects.

Once blended, the custom formula is melted and poured into a lipstick mold or glass tube. Guests can create a custom name for their lipstick, which will be applied to the tube upon completion.

In addition, each guest receives their personalized product along with a formula card listing their selected ingredients for future recreations.

Blend Bar uses products with the highest quality/integrity, free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates and GMO’s, as well as cruelty-free, gluten-free and vegan ingredients. The pigments are packed with antioxidants and SPF for everyday sun protection.
