The manic life of a beauty brand starter – well – it’s manic and all over the place and crazy and stressful and anxiety provoking and scary and frustrating and exciting and creative and a million emotions wrapped up into one chic purple package.

More of the journey… never a dull moment, as you’ll see!

Day One in Scoop, by the way. One of the proudest moments of my life!

Oh, and what our office apartment living room looks like on any given day!

Last week’s afternoon tea party for SWAC, our lip gloss that gives back to the breast cancer cause, was incredible – moving, emotional at times, and beautiful. To be in a room of such strong women, all of whom came together to support breast cancer awareness – is just an amazing thing. I don’t even have the words to convey it properly.

Between The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation’s story, told by one of the founders, meeting Nancy’s mother, daughter and sister-in-law, and hearing Geralyn Lucas read from her spirited memoir, “Why I Wore Lipstick to my Mastectomy,” everyone felt inspired to spread awareness – and get a mammo.

A glimpse of the event.

And more on it from the perspective of Sharon, who planned it to perfection, later!

Mwah!

We had the most beautiful event on Friday for Breast Cancer Awareness and our gloss, SWAC (Sealed with a Cure).

So much to say because it was such a beautiful day of inpiration and amazingly strong women, but before I do, this must be shared THIS INSTANT!

My friend Hayley, one of the founder of The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation,  has the cutest 7 year-old daughter who supports the cause (she is best friends with Jolie, the daughter of Nancy, who lost her battle to triple negative breast cancer and inspired the foundation the the gloss). 

Meet Ash, the little starlet!

Love her!

Mwah!

October. Breast Cancer Awareness month. A very meaningful life in all women’s lives. This disease has touched us all – be it becasue we’ve had it, we’ve known someone who has had it, or we simply support the fight in curing it.

It is a month when brands rally for the cause and launch products that give back. We’re working with The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation. There is a whole story behind it and details about the product, called SWAC (Sealed with a Cure)!

So watch and let’s kiss breast cancer good-bye… FOREVER! Support TNBCF at b-glowing and Fred Segal Melrose!  20% of our proceeds are for “the girls.”

A close up of the shade – kiss kiss!

Mwah!
