I am feeling as though we are in a bit of an identity crisis. We opened our doors as Style Essentials (click here to read our story) and bought the URL Style-Essentials .org (because the URL StyleEssentials.com was taken, dagnabit). And then,…lo and behold; StyleEssentials.com became available…for a price…a very hefty price.

You want in on a secret? The name “Style Essentials” isn’t working for me anymore. Don’t get me wrong. It is a fantastic name. However, I don’t feel it reflects what we do here anymore. Or, who we are. And what we can bring to you. You may be wondering

This post could really be called ‘Dreams Do Come True.” Because it has always been my dream to own my own cosmetics company ; ever since I was 19 years old and stepped behind the Clinique Counter at Macy’s, I knew I wanted to own my own cosmetics company. And

What Women are Saying

I got your samples today and I cannot believe what they did to my face - my skin feels better than naked, and it hardly even looks like I'm wearing makeup - I just look 10 years younger. And glowing. I'm throwing away all my old makeup... — Anne M., WI.

Put in an order for some mineral makeup today! My skin has never looked or felt better. In fact after my samples ran out, I went back to my other foundation and my skin feels like it is choking Even my hubby commented on how pretty my skin looked. It is rare that he even notices my makeup, let alone compliments it! — Emily J., Co.

All I know is that if you give me a choice between a makeup counter or Lisa – there’s really no contest. She gets to know you, your skin type, and your lifestyle – but she does it with just a few questions over email. She sends you samples, so you’re certain you have the right shade or product before you buy. She even answers questions on Facebook from people who aren’t her clients. — Amity HS

I loved how soothing the Cool 2 Foundation felt on my skin.. so can't wait to get the makeup and the green concealer. The Green Tea Cleanser also felt great- as when I have these flares most cleaners/ even for sensitive skin.. feel like they are burning my skin. Not so -with the Green Tea Cleanser and I used it all up-like every last drop! Love the sample bottles! — Vivian G. CA.

Dear Lisa. Thank you so much for the mineral powders which feels so smooth on my skin!! I never used any make up , or any colors on my face. everything felt like a mask, even at my wedding I could not let the makeup girl to cover me with all the "naturals" powders & colors ,,,,......thanks to ur reasonable prices, I could try your line of minerals, and im so happy. love the colors!! My highlight is the lipstick which has no sticknes, smell, or hardness. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!wawawwoo — Dekelya W., N.Y.

Thank you so much! Everything looks good! I really appreciate you being so approachable and available! — Tara S.

I received my product today!! Thanks a bunch for all your wonderful customer service!! Because of your great customer service and kindness I have referred some friends your way!!! I really appreciate all your help! — Ami W., MN.

Hello Lisa, Thank you so very much for helping me select the right cosmetics and shades. Never having used any cosmetics other than an eye pencil on a regular basis, it was a big step for me. Thanks for spending the time with me one-on-one, understanding what my needs are and letting me play with all the foundations, blushes, mineral veils, lip glosses and brushes. I call it my Makeup 101 class. Now, I spend less than 5 minutes in the mornings and voila! My skin really looks flawless but… — R.V., CA.

I am someone with little experience wearing makeup, but Lisa helped me feel at ease and demystified the products. She took the extra time to show me how to highlight my best features using the right tools and techniques. Her experience in the industry has given her an excellent depth of knowledge. She knows exactly what goes into her products, and will stand by what she sells as being safe as well as fun and beautiful! Try finding that at the department stores! — Vida J., CA.

Hi Lisa, You were very gracious with your time & I appreciate the help getting my makeup routine simplified. Feeling confident about what I am putting on my face. Thank you for your gifts, Lisa & gentle, sweet nature. I hope Marcy & Kasey had a fun night too!! Lastly, what you shared about makeup being fun & "putting your best foot forward" really resonated with me. Thank you for putting me at ease. — Karmyn L, CA.

I value customer service and personalized attention to my needs. The big department stores or chain stores do not offer what I value and I often feel frustrated. I figured out that small businesses is where I prefer to shop. I tend to shop with small business owners who get to know me and what I am looking for and taking the time to listen to my needs. Lisa is always available for questions and is very honest about her products. I have learned so much about skin and beauty products from her… — Anna F., New York

I found Lisa and Style Essentials about two months ago when she tweeted about a natural mascara. I was in the process of finding natural mineral makeup after nearly a year of disappointing searches. What I love about Style Essentials is the personal attention Lisa devotes to every question I have, and every item she sells. I know that I can trust what I’m buying, and that means a tremendous amount to me as a woman, a mother, and a customer. There is a peace of mind that comes with knowing… — Lori M., LA.

If you ever want to order from Simple Beauty Minerals, Lisa is WONDERFUL to work with! She helped me get what I needed, especially being a newbie organic skincare person. Tell her I sent you! — Lori C., GA.

Thank you so much for answering all my skin & make-up questions! You helped me find EXACTLY what I wanted & needed. Love that you were able to send samples before I made final decisions (I didn't even know if I would like the make-up!) That moisturizer really works to control my oily spots & isn't too heavy. I've enjoyed picking out my make-up like never before because you didn't try to sell me something I didn't want. You have no idea how nice it is for me to ask questions, get your help and… — Melody G., LA.

Dear Lisa, I just wanted to say thank you for the "above and beyond" attitude you have shown me! I really can't say I have ever experienced customer service in the personal way that I have from you, and we have never even officially met. Purchasing makeup can often be trial and error and you have taken the "error" part out with all the samples you have willingly sent me. You also made the process of finding proper shades downright FUN! It's a neat experience to be able to experiment with colors… — Kerrie K., LA.
