FABUtainment: How Did You Start Your Company? What Products Do You Offer?
B. J: Kiss'N Ivy formed a LLC February, 2015. I used to go to Walmart, buy the lipsticks that I liked and go home just to dump them into a mixing container for a remelt/remake process. After mixing a couple of colors and adding my own fragrances, I started to research what it was I was mixing. I found that there were so many cancer causing, non-USA approved ingredients in that stuff and I was baffled. My 3 year old loves this stuff and I can't have her using this. So I formulated a natural, organic, vegan signature base, primarily used for binding powder to the lip, but it maintains moisture in the lips. It's for men, women, boys and girls, and has no sheen. What people don't understand is, the most high created everything that we need from the earth. I used NOTHING man-made.
HOW THE 3-STEP LIP COLOR SYSTEM WORKS
FABUtainment: How Did You Come Up With The Concept of Powder Lip Color?
B. J: (laughing) .. People always ask me that. If I told you I'd have to lock you in a cage forever. What I can tell you is that, I prayed about it. After that, I woke up with the idea the very NEXT morning.
FABUtainment: Where Can Customers Purchase Your Products?
B. J: Purchases can be made via kissnivy.com. We will be opening our kiosk at the Independence Center in Independence Missouri (in front of Coach and Pandora) on May 9th. Location #1 on 1734 E 63rd Street Kansas City, Missouri on the 3rd floor in the Elegant Styles Boutique. Also, a known make up artist by the name of Mary Zemenye, Queen Mary Cosmetics has all Kiss'N Ivy products when you book a face beat.
FABUtainment: Where Do You See Your Business In the Next 3-5 Years?
B. J: In the next 3-5 years, I see Kiss'N Ivy running with the big leagues such as MAC and Sephora. We deserve it. It is something unique and fun. Why not create your own lip color that can be used for more than one purpose and custom made even in that way you choose to layer the color? The plan is to franchise in the future but it seems that what I ever so plan for, the most high plans for even better.
FABUtainment: What Events Do You Have Coming Up?
B. J: June 22-24 "JUST FOR HER EVENT" at the Overland Park KS Convention Center. As always, stay tuned to my Facebook/Instagram Kiss'N Ivy LLC Lip Line and Bre Modelbottle for more updates on the commercial release and "Rip The Runway" event coming later this year in which product will be available for purchase.
