Urban Outfitters is launching a new private-label cosmetics line dubbed 'Ohii' that will appeal to the retailer's target consumer with a focus on simplicity, aesthetics and affordability—everything in the line is available for under $25.
In total, Ohii will introduce consumers to 13 new products in multiple shades and scents, including everything from shimmery detoxifying face masks to fun lip glosses with of-the-moment names like Rose Quartz, as well as convenient undereye moisturizing pens and the Ohii Glass Powder, which seems to reference a highly desirable type of skin in the world of Korean beauty.
With its new cosmetics line, Urban Outfitters touts Ohii as a solution to "[fill in the blanks of every beauty routine with thoughtful products developed to work well with others."
