The Miss America Organization and its dedication to education and community service was the perfect platform to showcase a cosmetics line that goes beyond beauty and hand-in-hand with Joshua Brands' dedication to social responsibility and bettering communities.  Also, the move poises R.E.I.G.N. to be the Official Cosmetics Sponsor of the 2014 Miss America Competition, which will be held in Atlantic City on September 15.

"Skincare and cosmetics have always been a natural extension of the Miss America brand, but our partnership with Joshua Brands through the launch of R.E.I.G.N allows us to be part of a collection that focuses on the total package of what is most meaningful for young women," said Ike S. Franco, Managing Partner, Miss America Properties. 

The collection launches with products including Galor-ious Lashes Mascara, Blooming Glow Blusher, and Sheer Perfection Pressed Powder.  In an homage to the State Titleholders who compete for the Crown, Lasting Luxe Lipsticks come in luscious tints using actual ingredients from and/or shades inspired by many State Flowers:  Apple Blossom Red, Pink Prairie Rose and Coral Azalea, to name a few.  All products are proudly made in America.
