LIVE TINTED Unveils Its First-Ever Commercial with “It Feels Good To Be Seen” Campaign

Live Tinted

LIVE TINTED, the prestige beauty brand founded by industry changemaker Deepica Mutyala, announces today the launch of the brand’s “It Feels Good To Be Seen” campaign, debuting LIVE TINTED’s first-ever TV commercial, which emphasizes the brand’s role as an innovator and pioneer in inclusive makeup. LIVE TINTED celebrates the campaign launch in partnership with Ulta Beauty, featured in the commercial, as LIVE TINTED sets out to expand to all 1,400 Ulta Beauty stores by Spring 2025. In tandem with the campaign launch, the brand has also welcomed new products to their robust offerings with the launch of the Legacy collection. LIVE TINTED’s “ It Feels Good To Be Seen ” highlights the brand’s mission to bring change and representation to the $570B+ beauty industry. Inspired by Deepica’s own founding story, the 90’s-set commercial depicts two teenage girls of different skin tones experimenting with makeup. One girl, with darker skin, is disheartened when the foundation options are too light for her, reflecting the collective struggle of women of color to find inclusive makeup. The scene transitions to the present day, where the same young girl is now a mother, and she is able to find makeup to match her skin tone with confidence. Together, the mother and daughter explore LIVE TINTED's display of makeup available in inclusive shade ranges at Ulta Beauty, celebrating beauty for all. “The scene in the commercial is representative of moments myself and many other women of darker skin tones have experienced throughout life,” said LIVE TINTED Founder and CEO Deepica Mutyala. “Since I was a little girl playing with makeup in search of a product that matched my skin, I knew I wanted to create a beauty brand where women would feel seen and represented for who they are. Seeing this commercial come to life is monumental for the brand, especially since it airs near the 10-year anniversary of my viral YouTube video that catapulted the launch of LIVE TINTED to where we are today.” The campaign employs a comprehensive 360-degree strategy to maximize impact, featuring influencer and celebrity makeup artist collaborations and engaging in-store marketing assets at Ulta Beauty. Additional efforts include PR initiatives and social media strategies to drive brand engagement and widespread awareness. LIVE TINTED will continue to reinforce the campaign’s message throughout the year to sustain momentum and reach a broader audience. “As the first South Asian-owned makeup brand at Ulta Beauty, Live Tinted has deeply resonated with our diverse community of beauty enthusiasts, especially through its inclusive ethos and versatile products like the Huestick – which went viral on social and is now a tried-and-true staple in our guests’ beauty routines,” said Jessica Phillips, Vice President of Merchandising, Ulta Beauty. “With a shared mission to create new beautiful possibilities for beauty lovers of all generations, skin tones and types, we’re so proud to see Live Tinted’s incredible growth continue to shine and serve as an inspiring success story for up-and-coming beauty brands.” Ulta Beauty has been an integral player in the campaign and has contributed significantly to the brand’s growth since its launch in 2018. The brand first debuted exclusively in select stores in 2021 through the retailer’s Sparked initiative and then went on to be available at Ulta Beauty at Target locations. LIVE TINTED has become one of many fastest-growing prestige brands at Ulta Beauty, taking up six feet of retail space and will now be available to shop in all 1,400 stores across the U.S. by the spring. This will include the brand’s new Legacy collection which launched online and in stores on Thursday, January 9. Inspired by the legacy you dream of leaving on the world, the volumizing eye makeup trio features: Legacy Lash Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara ($26; $16 travel size): A serum-mascara delivering instant volume and long-term lash benefits with clean, weightless ingredients. Clinically proven to boost lash volume by +171% instantly and +113% over time. Legacy Liner Liquid Kajal ($22): Carbon-black-free and eye-safe, this liquid liner features 100% natural bamboo charcoal and a flexible felt tip for precise lines with a satin finish. Quick-drying and smudge-proof, it's been tested against water, tears, and life itself—this liner stays flawless all day. Legacy Eyelash Curler ($17): Wide, curved design for all eye shapes, featuring hypoallergenic silicone pads and a marigold orange tone for enhanced lash visibility. The launch of LIVE TINTED’s “ It Feels Good To Be Seen ” campaign coincides with the 10th anniversary of Deepica’s 2015 viral YouTube video (11M views) showing how to conceal dark under eye circles using red lipstick. The video catapulted Deepica’s influence in the beauty space and championed her as an advocate for inclusivity and representation. She has since been awarded TIME Magazine’s Next Generation Leader in 2022, co-created Mattel’s first South Asian CEO Barbie, and continues to use her platform and vision for the future of beauty to further establish LIVE TINTED as a premier clean, inclusive beauty brand.

3 Reasons Why You Should Invest In The New Transformative Token, Elluminex (ELX)

Elluminex

The world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is evolving at a lightning pace. Protocols like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Jupiter have their respective blockchain ecosystems and have driven tens of millions in revenue. Now, a new contender has arrived with the potential to reshape the landscape of the TON blockchain and the broader DeFi space as a whole — Elluminex. With its cutting-edge features, this revolutionary DeFi hub has the potential to not only elevate the TON ecosystem but also deliver massive returns for early buyers. Let's explore the three main reasons why Elluminex should become a staple in every 2025 portfolio. 1. The DeFi Trailblazer On The TON Blockchain The TON blockchain taps directly into Telegram’s vast network and its massive 950-million user base. The numbers don't lie, with over 100 million registered addresses, TON is one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in crypto. Despite this, the TON network still underperforms when it comes to DeFi. Elluminex will change this by introducing a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem. This platform will address the inefficiencies that have stunted the expansion of DeFi. These include fragmented liquidity and the lack of seamless cross-chain interoperability. By enabling users to trade, stake, and manage assets securely and efficiently, Elluminex has the potential to unlock a whole new realm of possibilities for the TON network. 2. Unparalleled Cross-Chain Interoperability And Liquidity One of the major pain points in DeFi today is the challenge posed by having liquidity across blockchains, which already face substantial difficulties when interfacing with one another. Elluminex solves this by leveraging a revolutionary cross-chain bridge, allowing users to easily trade and transfer assets between major blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana, with minimal slippage, low fees, and near-instant speeds. When Jupiter was first launched, it significantly boosted Solana's ecosystem activity and contributed almost single-handedly kickstarted Solana’s 2024 rally, which culminated with a new all-time high. Elluminex aims to mimic this success by boosting the TON ecosystem, positioning itself as the go-to platform for developers, and investors alike. Additionally, Elluminex introduces staking and farming features that reward long-term holders of $ELX, priming the token for sustainable growth. Combined with its AI-powered portfolio tracker with built-in analytic tools, Elluminex will provide a well-rounded investing experience that empowers users to always have the right information at hand. 3. Exclusive Access To Unlisted TON Projects Elluminex is set to introduce a game-changing feature that sets it apart from traditional DeFi protocols: early access to exclusive TON projects. This feature will allow users to invest in new token launches before they are released on the markets, allowing stakeholders to stay ahead of the curve and granting them the opportunity to secure an early allocation in next-gen projects. Moreover, as this feature is directly integrated into a decentralized ecosystem, Elluminex eliminates third parties, providing users with transparency and control over their investments. Why $ELX Is A Must-Have Token For 2025 The $ELX token powers the Elluminex ecosystem, as it plays a crucial role in the staking mechanism, governance, and cross-chain liquidity. The token is also designed to be deflationary, meaning that recurring token burns will continuously reduce the circulating supply, stabilizing the price in times of market-wide turbulence, while simultaneously ensuring sustainable growth. As the TON network continues to expand and DeFi adoption accelerates, the demand for $ELX is expected to soar as soon as the presale kicks off. Early buyers could have a bullish gem at hand, especially as Elluminex could claim a substantial cut of the DeFi market. Don’t miss the opportunity to invest in a project that could reshape DeFi on one of the world’s fastest-growing blockchains. Keep an eye on Elluminex’s socials and website because the presale of the $ELX will start very soon! For more information about Elluminex (ELX) visit the links below: Website: https://elluminex.com/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/elluminex Telegram: https://t.me/Elluminex Elluminex is a next-generation DeFi platform built on the TON Blockchain and Ethereum, offering a seamless decentralized finance experience with innovative features. Users can engage in staking, farming, and enjoy AI-powered portfolio tools, all while participating in a cross-chain ecosystem. Elluminex is unique in that it is bringing DeFi to the TON Network/Blockchain which at the moment is very limited in this sense with very few options available to its users. Despite this the TON Network is still the fastest growing blockchain in the world and many view it as a future powerhouse to rival Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. By bringing DeFi to the TON Network, Elluminex would immediately transform the chain and take its capabilities and vast reach to the next level. Much like Uniswap did with Ethereum, Pancakeswap did with Binance Chain and Jupiter did with Solana. Cryptocurrency may be unregulated in your jurisdiction.

Altcoin Rush Underway As Whales Identify Emerging Meme Coin As The Best Crypto To Buy Now

Cutoshi

As we move into 2025, the market trend is shifting towards utility tokens, causing the demand for the utility memecoin Cutoshi (CUTO) to increase massively. The surge in demand can be attributed to the crypto whales that have increased their holdings in the emerging altcoin, as its hybrid nature ensures it is unaffected by market trends and offers sustained long-term growth. Cutoshi’s Unique Hybrid Approach Cutoshi is an emerging ERC-20 altcoin that acts as a utility token and meme coin hybrid. It merges the best characteristics of both sectors to provide members with a wholesome meme community and a sophisticated DeFi ecosystem that offers real-world utility, thus appealing to both types of crypto enthusiasts. The meme coin part of Cutoshi is based on the traditional Chinese Lucky Cat, which Asian people decorate in their homes. According to Chinese and Japanese folklore, the cat holds lucky powers and blesses its owners with good fortune. Cutoshi aims to amplify this and make it accessible on a global level. Thus, to spread prosperity worldwide and bless everyone with good luck, Cutoshi has tokenized the cat and brought its powers to the blockchain as its native token, CUTO. Those who hold the token will receive good fortune and abundance in their digital assets and have thriving portfolios. Coming to the DeFi aspect, Cutoshi walks in the steps paved for Bitcoin by Satoshi Nakamoto and aims to create a democratized and sustainable decentralized economy. It promotes Nakamoto’s ideals of privacy and monetary freedom and spreads his teachings through its growing viral meme community. How Cutoshi Is Transforming DeFi With Its memeFi Ecosystem The Cutoshi ecosystem comprises various fun elements and practical components essential for participating in decentralized finance. It serves as a one-stop solution for users' investment needs. Cutoshi wants to boost the mass adoption of DeFi, so it is establishing a learning academy on its platform. In the Cutoshi Academy, community members can access learning materials and courses designed to teach complex Web3 and DeFi concepts in an engaging and easily understandable way. Cutoshi is bridging the knowledge gap for crypto newcomers through this academy to help them adapt and transition smoothly into the decentralized economy. It aims to make the knowledge accessible to all, thus keeping the learning materials free to all community members. Since it is a meme project, Cutoshi will mint limited edition NFTs and distribute them among early holders and challenge winners. A total of 8,000 NFTs with unique DeFi use cases will be made and divided into five classes based on rarity and utility. Members can hold them as a badge of honor and use them for benefits or swap them with other members for profits. Furthermore, Cutoshi plans to introduce a merch shop in the ecosystem, which will sell CUTO-themed everyday items such as hoodies, beanies, T-shirts, coffee mugs, phone cases, etc, so that devotees can keep the lucky cat’s spirit close and harness its powers. How To Earn With Token Farming The Cutoshi token farming is live on Zealy, where over 3,700 members have joined and are currently competing and harvesting CUTO. The farming mechanism has been designed to help boost community growth and token presale success. It includes completing fun quests and challenges to rise through the leaderboard. Members receive CUTO points upon finishing the quests, and those at the top of the leaderboard get more exciting rewards. Once the farming is over, participants can convert their accumulated points into CUTO tokens and receive them in their wallets. Moreover, those interested can also acquire CUTO from the token presale. The presale has raised over $1,500,000 and has progressed to stage four, where the price is $0.031 per CUTO. Crypto whales have been accumulating the token as it has provided steady returns thus far and will continue to generate similar returns throughout the presale.

Dogecoin Whales Betting Big On New Viral Altcoin Cutoshi To Repeat Its 15000% Surge

Cutoshi

Dogecoin has been one of the biggest winners in the latest bull market. Thanks to surprising developments in the US, the token has regained a lot of its momentum. Still, Dogecoin whales are also looking for smaller tokens that can replicate the success of the biggest meme coin. That’s why many are betting big on a new Ethereum-based token. This innovative meme coin comes packed with utility, which helps it attract both memecoin and DeFi investors. Dogecoin Whales Make Big Moves The original meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has attracted significant whale attention. Following Donald Trump’s victory in November, Dogecoin’s biggest supporter, Elon Musk, holds the ear of soon-to-be the most powerful man on Earth. This has prompted whales to stock up on Doge. Notably, whales bought over $500 million in Doge tokens in just 48 hours last week. On January 3 alone, whales bought 1.08 billion Doge tokens, worth $350 million. This activity was fueled by social media enthusiasm for Doge. These rumors are coupled with ongoing speculation over Musk’s companies, like Tesla and X integrating Doge payments. For instance, rumors started circulating of Tesla accepting Dogecoin at its charging stations. While the official Tesla website makes no mention of this, the news caught on. Social media users and some crypto websites amplified this idea. What is more, there are ongoing speculations that X (formerly Twitter) will also enable payments in Dogecoin. While these speculations are so far unconfirmed, they are fueling the excitement over Dogecoin. This activity could propel Dogecoin to the key $0.5 level, and then beyond to $1. Still, it is highly unlikely that Dogecoin can match its gains when it rose upwards of 15000%. That’s why Dogecoin whales are diversifying their portfolios. In particular, many are looking at a new memeFi token Cutoshi. Can Cutoshi Repeat Dogecoin’s Early Success? For years, Dogecoin holders have been looking to repeat the token’s early success. Many meme coins came and went in that period. However, a new token stands out as a strong contender: Cutoshi (CUTO). Thanks to its blend of memecoin and utility, some Dogecoin whales believe it has a chance at repeating Dogecoin’s success. So far Dogecoin whales have poured substantial capital into Cutoshi. Notably, the token already raised over $1.5 million in presale investments, just months after its launch. What appeals to them is Cutoshi’s blend of utility and memes. For one, Cutoshi is both a meme coin and a DeFi token. It is inspired both by the Chinese Lucky Cat symbol as well as Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Like Satoshi, Cutoshi is all about digital freedom, decentralization and empowering users. Its upcoming multichain DEX will aim to make DeFi accessible to all kinds of users, not just the more technical ones. It will also feature key DeFi features, such as self-custody and low fees. With the DeFi space growing faster than ever, this is a major opportunity. With a focus on DeFi, Cutoshi hopes to attract meme coin traders into the world of decentralized technology. Whales are already understanding its potential, and regular users may soon follow. If this happens, Cutoshi is in a good position to replicate Dogecoin success.

The Trending ETH Meme Coin That Early Shiba Inu Investors Are Buying, Can Cutoshi Reach $1 Before Dogecoin?

Cutoshi

The crypto bull market has seen several standout performers, including Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. These memecoins are at the center of the rally for several reasons. Dogecoin, thanks to its connection to Elon Musk, and Shiba Inu thanks to its significant new ecosystem development. At the same time a new token is racing towards $1, and traders are asking whether it can beat Doge to the mark. Can Dogecoin Reach $1? Dogecoin (DOGE) was one of the biggest winners in the late 2024 bull market. Thanks to Donald Trump’s victory, Dogecoin’s biggest supporter, Elon Musk, will likely hold a prominent position in the new administration. While Musk recently took significant criticism from Trump supporters, he still has many supporters. For this reason, Dogecoin was up 361.40% over the last year, with most of these gains coming after the November election. Currently, at $0.3897, traders are now gearing for Dogecoin’s next all-time high. With a previous all-time high of $0.7376 in 2021, $1 is certainly not beyond Dogecoin’s reach. The next potential catalyst for Dogecoin is Trump’s inauguration, as well as Elon Musk’s entry into the administration. Notably, Trump announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), in which Musk will have a key role. Still, the path to $1 may not be smooth sailing. Notably, Elon Musk recently took substantial criticism over his stance on H1-b visas. While Musk argued for more legal immigration, Trump supporters criticized the system over alleged abuses. If Musk loses favor among Trump’s base, Dogecoin will likely suffer as well. Can Cutoshi Reach $1 Before Doge? Amid Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s rise, a new memeFi token is attracting attention. The bullish market has spilled over to Cutoshi (CUTO), which recently raised over $1,572,177.600 in presale investments. This token combines memes with DeFi utility and is attracting a lot of attention. Cutoshi is both a meme coin and a serious DeFi project. It aims to use the appeal of memecoins to bring more people into the world of DeFi. At its core is a multichain DEX, which hopes to make DeFi more accessible than ever. With self-custody, low fees, and an intuitive user interface, it hopes to bring DeFi to the masses. With a presale price of just $0.031, its rise to $1 would be nothing short of remarkable. However, if its ecosystem catches on, and its meme coin traders discover its appeal, it has a real potential to reach this mark. Unlike Shiba Inu, Cutoshi has a very limited number of tokens. This means that $1 is a realistic goal, even at current crypto prices. However, whether or not it can reach that mark before Dogecoin will ultimately depend on whether or not it is successful in creating a community-run ecosystem that brings decentralization to everyone. Shiba Inu Unveils TREAT Token Just like Doge, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been one of the strongest performers in this cycle, cementing its second place among memecoins. In the last five days, the token was up 15.59%, on a mix of market news and the latest ecosystem developments. Most recently, Shiba Inu unveiled its TREAT token, a major step to boost its governance. The Shiba Inu team announced expansive functionality for the token. Its features will include distributing ecosystem rewards, yield farming, decision-making, crypto payments, and more. Still, despite the expected favorable regulatory changes in the US, TREAT will not be for US users. This is likely because the Shiba Inu team believes the SEC would classify it as a security. Unlike Shiba Inu, TREAT is not just a meme coin and has significant utility. For that reason, the current SEC might classify its launch as an illegal securities offering. Still, this could change when the incoming administration unveils new crypto regulations. What this regulation will be remains to be seen, but a more favorable crypto framework stands to boost Shiba Inu significantly. Still, unlike Doge, Shiba Inu will likely never reach the $1 mark, thanks to its huge token count.
