Leah Kateb, the runner-up of Love Island USA Season 6, has launched her latest fragrance, Pomegranate Princess, as the chief creative officer of Skylar. During a recent appearance at Sephoria in Los Angeles, Kateb shared insights into her journey with the new scent and her personal beauty routines.
The 26-year-old reality television star is known for her glamorous appearances across various high-profile events, including Milan Fashion Week. She credits her polished looks to one simple principle: preparation. “Honestly, I always do my own glam, so probably just giving myself enough time,” she remarked, emphasising the importance of allowing ample time for preparation ahead of public appearances.
A particularly noteworthy aspect of her makeup routine is her use of the Mac Studio Fix powder. She elaborated, “I always bring a powder puff with me. It’s just the best for not looking oily. That’s probably my biggest hack. It blurs your face.” With a busy lifestyle, Kateb has cultivated a knack for balancing her various commitments while ensuring she looks her best.
Beyond her glamorous persona, Kateb thrives on activity. She exclaimed, “I love having things to do, especially when it’s something that I really love and enjoy. I feel like it just makes it easier. It doesn’t feel like work.” This ethic has driven her current focus on developing the California-based fragrance brand, Skylar, which she describes as entering a new era under her leadership.
The launch of Pomegranate Princess has been a significant milestone for Kateb. “Oh my gosh, it’s been a long time in the making,” she said of the fragrance. “Having Pomegranate Princess out is so fun, and I feel like since it’s spring and it’s about to be summer, it’s just the perfect scent.” The fragrance is a delightful blend of fruity floral notes, featuring ripe pomegranate, strawberry, and subtle hints of whipped cream and shortcake.
Kateb’s decision to take on the role of chief creative officer was influenced by her long-standing admiration for the Skylar brand. She has been using their products for years and shared how she introduced her fellow contestants to Skylar’s Vanilla Sky fragrance during her time on Love Island. She recalled how her now-boyfriend, Miguel Harichi, complimented her scent, which only deepened her connection to the brand.
In her new position, Kateb emphasises her commitment to being actively involved in every aspect of the brand. “I have been very involved with everything,” she explained, detailing that her responsibilities go beyond mere promotion. “It’s not just one thing; there are so many different roles that I have and that I participate in,” she noted, demonstrating her dedication to ensuring the brand’s success.
Looking ahead, Kateb is excited about the opportunities that await her and Skylar. “The way it all happened felt really serendipitous,” she concluded, hinting at a bright future for both her personal brand and the fragrance line. With her charisma and determination, Leah Kateb continues to make waves in the beauty industry, leaving her mark as both a reality star and an emerging business leader.
