Makeup is timeless, so are women and our attitudes

 

Have you ever noticed how timeless lipstick is? Or even cat eye eyeliner? While colors may always vary based on the era we are in, it never fails that there will always be some similarities between us. I know we all love Marilyn Monroe, with her red lips and cat eye eyeliner.. but have you ever seen photos of Lucille Ball. I mean yea we all watched "I Love Lucy", but it was in black and white. Her face is so timeless and flawless that I can stare at it and do nothing but day dream. Figure out how to create that look, figure out how to take it and make it more bold and modern.. or just recreate it in it's simplicity because of it's perfection from the start. Regardless, lipstick and makeup is something that most of us loud, bold, and competitive females have in common to begin with. I know it's easy to say that we are 'one of a kind'.. which we are.. and we have nothing in common with girls of our generation because most of us are so different.. but wouldn't it be better if we could focus on what we do have in common? If instead of judging people for being different than us, for sinning different, for dressing different, for wearing a different pant size... we could all just BE NICE, for once. I went to FIDM, a school full of mostly females, and with a temper like mine, that could easily be the recipe for disaster. But no, we need to all ignore the ignorance, and embrace the open minded individuals like ourselves. Oh yea, and we must all wear bold lipstick... who needs a mood ring when my lips can tell you how I fell =). STAY TRUE 

Be kind, Love lipstick!

So, being the woman that I am.. and being around women all the time, whether it be at FIDM when I visit, or at the mall, or watching all these reality TV shows, it is very clear that women are rude. Now, of course there are exceptions, but whatever, its true. I had been friends with girls growing up, where all they did was talk bad about everyone around them. Someone was losing weight, they would talk bad, someone gained weight they would mouth off. A girl we had gone to high school with was doing really well in life, they had nothing but negativity to repel into the world. Glad to say, I am not associated with women like that anymore, but let's talk about it for a minute. What makes us feel entitled to talk about others.. the way they dress, who they date, the makeup they wear, what weight they are, everything! And the answer is, jealousy and envy. Literally, that's it. Notice you will never have a hater from someone who is doing better than you. JUST SAYING. People who are happy with their lives won't give you a bitch face, they will surprisingly smile. So here's what my purpose is for this brand. We need to represent being kind. If you are a "mean girl", I can honestly say I do not want you associated with my brand. And of course they will say... well your brand isn't even in stores, you're not that big anyways. Well the truth is, not yet.. but I have so much more in store for you to hate on in the future. Just you wait. I am trying to represent kindness, acceptance, a bold and vibrant life in a judgment free environment. So here's to the women who can empower one another, accept others for who they are. The women who are leaders, and use that as a good thing rather than to make everyone feel you are better than them. Here's to you, the STRONG women of today... who also love lipstick. =) STAY TRUE.

Okay Okay, I know. It has been way too long since I have been on here. MY APOLOGIES. I would say I have an awesome excuse like I have been traveling across the world, got married, or went on tour with Miley Cyrus... but, I dont. I have been busy visiting FIDM, guest speaking, going to events to meet amazing people in the industry to help me make this the best lipstick company out there. And I have met some pretty awesome people. Very thankful for the opportunities I have been blessed with, simply because of FIDM. Yes, I love my school. ANYWAYS, I have been working creative wise as to trying to portray this brand the way I want to. Very pure and raw. Empowering, accepting, exciting, daring, and positive. So, I brain storm all the time, do photo shoots, and plan my next move. As far as new packaging and so forth. SO, if anyone has any ideas as to new product colors, packaging colors that stand out to you. Whatever you feel draws you into a product the most, let me know!!! This will be a huge company in due time. One that stands for something positive, and has exciting and bold photos and product.... OH, AND!!! I have a temporary site now, until mine gets flawlessly designed and built.. I have this one for now, making shopping easier!!! www.ellemichellecosmetics.ecrater.com.
