Miami’s Design District got a sweet dose of beauty buzz as cult-favorite brand GISOU landed at Jungle Plaza for its most vibrant pop-up yet. Known for infusing everything with the magic of Mirsalehi honey, GISOU turned up the heat, and the gloss, for a four-day immersive experience celebrating its new Tinted Honey Infused Lip Oils.
Stepping into the Gloss Hour activation felt like walking into a summer dream: interactive installations, exclusive drops, juicy photo ops, and that unmistakable pink-and-gold glow that defines the GISOU world.
And of course, what’s a pop-up without a little culinary flair? That’s where we came in.
Our team was on hand to fuel the festivities, from crispy potato gaufrette chicken nugget bites with caviar to San Gines-style churros served to guests lining up for entry (yes, they were still warm). But the real stars? The custom cocktails, crafted to reflect each new lip oil shade with just the right amount of sparkle.
Here’s what we poured
Raspberry Swirl
Sweet, tart, and topped with edible white glitter — this vodka-forward beauty mirrored the berry-toned lippie with dragon fruit syrup, raspberry syrup, and a soft vanilla finish. Served in martini glasses with a square branded ice cube, it was just as photogenic as the merch.
Bee-lini Peach
This champagne-based cocktail was kissed with peach tea and honey syrup, nodding to Gisou’s iconic honey roots. Finished with ginger ale and a thick slice of peach, it brought the fizz, and the flavor, to the Miami heat.
Glazed Plum
A bold blend of tequila, lemon, and plum, layered with honey and a hint of shimmer. Served over ice with a whole plum frozen inside, this drink didn’t just taste good — it turned heads.
Mocktails were available, too, so everyone could get a sip of the Lippie Island magic.
With branded ice cubes, honey-glazed touches, and fresh ingredients, the drinks were more than refreshments, they were part of the experience. A nod to the new collection, a toast to summer, and a reminder that beauty, like a good cocktail, is all in the details.
