How I went from trading oil, to CREATING COSMETICS


You'll probably find this ironic, but all my years selling and trading crude oil and energy products taught me a lot about makeup. Crude oil serves as the base for many everyday products, from fuels like gasoline and diesel to plastics used in a variety of applications. It also yields petroleum byproducts like paraffin wax and lubricating oils. And floating at the top of every barrel of crude oil are petrochemicals, which find their way into countless consumer products, including cosmetics.

Even before it became trendy to prioritize paraben-free, vegan, and cruelty-free formulations, I've always been a believer in healthy cosmetics. My background includes studying cooking at the French Culinary Institute in New York City, fostering a strong appreciation for quality, healthy ingredients both internally and topically. This passion for wellness extends to the formulations I develop and use in my cosmetics.


Empowering Women with Convenient Beauty Solutions

As a cosmetics executive and digital marketing strategist, my mission has always been to simplify women's beauty routines with innovative products that offer both convenience and functionality. The Brush-On Liquid Mineral Makeup, a liquid foundation with an attached brush, exemplifies this commitment to simplicity and efficiency. Recognized with the prestigious Bella Beauty award for "Best Makeup," this product revolutionized the way women approach their daily makeup application.

Another groundbreaking innovation born from the desire to streamline beauty routines is the Face in a Case®. This patented makeup clutch features an empty, customizable, magnetic makeup compartment, complete with a full-sized mirror, wallet, and phone case. Designed with convenience and multi-functionality in mind, Face in a Case® provides a stylish solution for women with busy lifestyles, offering everything they need for on-the-go beauty.
