Executive Summary
Twilight Beauty: Concurrent with the release of "New Moon," the second film in the "Twilight" saga based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling vampire romance novels, Summit Entertainment launches Twilight Beauty in Nordstrom and Hot Topic doors across the U.S. Aimed at the saga's biggest fans, or "Twi-hards," brand's Volturi Twilight and Luna Twilight lines offer "more than just makeup, but a chance for fans to look and feel like they are personally a part of the Twilight experience." Products draw upon material from the series - for example, Mortal Glow Blushing Crème, which "call[s] to mind the one thing Bella will miss most about being human," and Reign Scented Body Mist, based on the description of Bella's scent, according to Nov. 19 release. "Visually stunning" packaging for Luna Twilight has "gold shining through the translucent black," representing "the light coming through the darkness, the power of Edward's love for Bella despite the obstacles that stand between them," while all products in the Volturi range bear the crest of the Volturi family, the "most powerful reigning [vampire] coven." Items are available online, ranging from $11 for Foreshadow Eyelid Primer to $34 for First Light Body Glow
