In the sense of that when you want to wind down and relax and pamper yourself, feel like a mini 'Caribbean Retreat for your feet' :)Tanya Marie - Designer Girl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13668993797132839683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858554416758441430.post-10637569876540400912011-10-15T10:04:02.607-07:002011-10-15T10:04:02.607-07:00i love the subtle references to the caribbean in t...i love the subtle references to the caribbean in the design of the product. there were no coconut trees, no 'sun, sea and sand' but the immortelle tree is just as much a part of our Caribbean landscape. The colour palette as well as you said used clear references. the difference is this product could stand up next to revlon, clinique, estee lauder and look as chic and well designed and not cheap and cliched.<br /><br />i also don't think that EVERY product that comes out of the caribbean has to reference the caribbean in colour palette or design. it depends on the product, the audience and how it is to be used and even the personal aesthetic of the designer/artist.Ayannahttp://ayaroots.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858554416758441430.post-79643210854975865482011-10-13T18:12:34.547-07:002011-10-13T18:12:34.547-07:00There is so much more to it!

Too many people are focused on the bright primary colours, steelpan, hummingbird and hibiscus flowers. There's so much more to a 'Caribbean' feel.<br />Keep up the good workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858554416758441430.post-52919782791960551022011-10-13T05:18:13.372-07:002011-10-13T05:18:13.372-07:00this looks like it'll feeeeel nice on me.knowi...this looks like it'll feeeeel nice on me.knowing too, that it was made just for me 'the caribbean woman' makes me more interested.Crissy-gailhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=636725419#!/crissygailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858554416758441430.post-85592262529741316342011-10-13T01:31:33.876-07:002011-10-13T01:31:33.876-07:00I thought it was quite interesting seeing this pro...I thought it was quite interesting seeing this product.
