Elena and Mercedes are sisters and creators of Zubi, a brand that was born and grew with its travels, which are printed on the cotton pouches, the brand's hallmark. Although they have been exploring new horizons for some time: knitwear, leather, linen, timeless and long-lasting garments. They have the certainty that good objects can make life more pleasant, whether those objects are well-designed trousers, a jacket for a thousand occasions or good cosmetics.
We enter in Zubi's bathroom to discover her cosmetics closet

E: I always dry my hair with a very hot hairdryer upside down, even at 40 degrees.
M: I can't not put cream on my face, neither during the day nor at night. I always have to put cream on or I feel completely stiff. And the cream has to be creamy; if it's gel-like, I avoid it.

E: Foreo?
M: I hear "parabens" all the time and I have no idea what they are.

8. A foolproof makeup trick.
E: Full of highlighter and bronzer all year round.
M: Rlifting your eyelashes is a gesture of nothing, and the eye changes completely.
9. In a bad hair day, what are you doing?

We agreed to carry a RMS blush, a cocoa and a lipstick. These 3 things can never be missing.
You have chosen the Brunjol pouch for this collaboration. Why this model? What does it evoke in you?
We love crazy forests, and this one with those colors is totally Iceland and autumn.
