Lip Scrub 


A card carrying Sephora-junkie and magazine addict, twenty-six-year-old Sara Happ has loved all things bath and body for as long as she can remember. I brought my curling iron and blow-dryer with me to girl scout camp. We slept in tents,she explains. But in 2005, Sara realized that there was a hole in the beauty market. I kept reading exfoliate lips with a wet washcloth or baby toothbrush, in all of my magazines, and I thought there had to be a better way. So I made it myself. Today she is thrilled to be on shelves alongside her favorite
brands.A native of suburban Chicago, she also considers Los Angeles home. Sara studied Broadcast Journalism and graduated from the University of Southern California in 2001, and can be found wearing cardinal and gold at every Trojan football game she can get to each fall.
She takes bubble baths each and every night, enjoys breaking a good sweat practicing yoga, and is constantly in search of the perfect white t-shirt (Petit Bateau is currently the frontrunner). Sara loves being an entrepreneur and gets her energy and inspiration from whipping up products that she herself can’t live without.
The Story
It’s a great time to be a girl. We have so many choices when it comes to beauty products. For every beauty problem, there are countless solutions (and they usually come in fabulous packaging that we’ll happily display in our bathrooms and on our nightstands). I love it!
I also love to exfoliate. That feeling of seriously smooth skin, the way your face and body glow after sloughing off those dead cells heaven.
But when it came to my lips, there was really nothing out there on the (wonderfully-chocked-full-of-every-product-you-could-ever-want) beauty market to keep them from looking dull or to remove the dry, flaky skin that no amount of gloss can cover.
I could picture exactly what I wanted this product to look like, to smell like, and to taste like. But most of all, I wanted results.
So I got to work.
The Formula
Literally, my beautiful kitchen became my laboratory. After weeks of mixing and experimenting, I came up with a formula that I simply could not get enough of, and the lip scrub was born.
My lips had never been pinker or smoother; my gloss never looked better. It became a staple in my makeup bag, and I was using it every single day. Really, truly- every day. That’s when I knew I was on to something.
The Packaging
I’m a very visual person, so, this part was crucial. I knew the product had to look as good as it performed. It had to be something Id want to display in my bathroom. Something special.
Five months of searching and I found what I wanted. Truffle boxes imported from Italy and chocolate-brown labels came together to make each lip scrub look like an adorable little present.
The Auditions
I began in Los Angeles, which feels like home to me, having lived there for years before moving east. I spent two days meeting with the owners of my favorite boutiques, crossing my fingers and hoping one of them would say yes. I couldn’t believe it when not one but ALL of them agreed to carry my products!
