Graphic Eyeliner
Colorful eyeliner and creative styles are back this season in a big way. Not only are consumers using bold colors to line their eyes, but they are also experimenting with different designs like cat eye, fox eye, and winged eyeliner. 

“With the eyes becoming the focus, we are getting creative on how to express [ourselves] with pops of color,” celebrity makeup artist and founder of Around The World Beauty, Stephanie Flor, tells InStyle. “I love seeing bright graphic liners that go above the crease giving the eye an artistic twist. This spring, it’s about expanding the palette and reinventing yourself, and that includes breaking your makeup boundaries with color.” To create the perfect graphic liner, Flor recommends using Reina Rebelde Blue Liquid Eyeliner.

It is exciting to see that more daring cosmetic looks are making their way back into the marketplace. This week’s Formulation Friday video is our Shimmery Green Mascara. It’s a perfect look for this trend of bold eyeliner designs.

No A******s!
What a great article in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, July 30th. A couple of years ago, when Ravi Saligram took the job of CEO of Newell Brands (which owns Yankee Candle and others), he held a town hall meeting for all 49,000 employees. Here’s how the WSJ tells the story:

As Saligram “...laid out his management philosophy. It was typical fare until Mr. Saligram, the former CEO of OfficeMax and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Inc., flipped to a bullet-point list of his key tenets. “I looked, and the first slide says, ‘no assholes,’” said Lisa McCarthy, an executive...”

That’s a management philosophy I can get behind and one I think we all can support. Think about it. What would it mean for your company if you implemented a policy like that today? What would your business look like? Better? Much Better? Something entirely different? 

That’s the scoop.
