HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- FusionBeauty® launched their revolutionary new lip gloss, INFATUATION(TM), which offers immediate and long-term lip plumping effects in six fun and sexy shades, with a day-long extravaganza hosted by Kim Kardashian at Sephora on Hollywood Boulevard on October 15th. The event also commemorated FusionBeauty's partnership with Seven Bar Foundation, the microfinance organization for women, and their "Kiss Away Poverty" campaign which donates $1 of every sale of INFATUATION(TM) and LIPFUSION® to the Foundation to help end poverty among women in the US.

Kardashian arrived in style wearing a silver sequined 7 For All Mankind jacket, a black H & M mini skirt and black YSL pumps and was in great spirits as she chatted with guests, including FusionBeauty® CEO Carolyn Pieper-Vogt and FusionBeauty® Senior Vice President Roslyn Griner, exclaiming, "I've been wearing Infatuation's 'Big & Bare' color and love how hot my lips look!" Upon entering Sephora, which was transformed into an ultra chic lounge complete with a candy bar featuring lip shaped sugary treats, Kardashian created her own commercial with the sexy Dr. Fusion revealing her secret infatuation: "I'm infatuated with really cozy and comfy robes," said the brunette bombshell. "I have to wear one at all times when I am at home." The video can be viewed at http://www.fusionbeauty.com/infatuation/.*

Fans also hopped in the videobooth to make their own commercials with the hot doctor, receiving samples of INFATUATION(TM) for revealing what they are infatuated with. Through FusionBeauty®'s "Dr. Fusion INFATUATION(TM)" contest, fans unable to attend the launch event can still reveal their secret infatuation and enter to win gift baskets worth $200 or the $2000 Sephora shopping spree grand prize by visiting www.facebook.com/FusionBeautyLabs starting Monday, October 19th.

The star continued the night graciously signing autographs and taking photos with her fans only stopping to take some time out to speak to the crowd about FusionBeauty®'s "Kiss Away Poverty" campaign. After presenting the Seven Bar Foundation with a check for $5,000 from sales to date, Kardashian and Jensen gave a Seven Bar recipient beauty tips with FusionBeauty® and Sephora products.
