SIMPLE LIVING
♥ THE INTRO - Inspired by Asian herbs and old-fashion eastern medicine; I love all kind of botanical colors and fresh rainkissed leaves widely grown in Asia. Using the freshest organic herbs and vegetable that easily grown without the chemicals; for food and skin care; are widely practiced in Asia. Simplicity is the way of life. Back in Thailand where I grew up, we use natural colors from fruits and veggies to add beautiful nature-given pigments to food. Many flowers and plants offer such vivid colors and aroma you can even taste. Great multi-functioning plant like Pandan offers a wide range of benefits and is included in many sweet recipes. It is cheap, simple, nutritious and easily grown. Tumeric, Tamarine juice and pulp mixed with ground Mung Beans; making one of the best facial cleanser and brightener. These are just small examples among too-many-to-mention here. Simple ingredients. Raw. Most effective.
♥ WHERE IT ALL STARTED - I started making my own bath and beauty items years ago for myself but did not start on etsy until late in 2013 when all Pure Lips had to offer was just lip balm varieties. Little by little, I added and expanded the line. Pure Lips grew at a steady pace. I still had a demanding full time job then so life was hectic. I put Pure Lips on hold for 2 years to care for my son who was born with a heart defect. Pure Lips reopened in late October of 2017. The rest is history.
♥ PERSONAL STUFF -
I am a proud mom of a little boy who has endless energy, and two four-legged furr babies. I am in social services by trade but in the past years, Pure Lips has become more and more of my full time *job*. I am currently in school for another Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.
♥ PURE LIPS' MAKEUP & COSMETICS PHILOSOPHY -
I didn't plan on adding mineral makeup & cosmetics onto the line because I'm never a true makeup wearer. The main reason is because I simply hate that feeling of wearing a mask. So here I am and have been playing with various natural ingredients and creating different formulas to develop the kind of makeup that I'd wear; the one that is just like the second skin. The kind that I could go to sleep with and the kind that is not only making me look good, but feel good as well as improving my skin. I have found it and it is here.
♥ HOW I RUN PURE LIPS -
If you look around my shop, you will see I use the simpliest packaging possible. Over the years I've been asked why glasses packaging is not being used, and the most simple answer I could give; is the cost - the cost to buy it and the cost to ship it. I do not wish to leave that burden to customers. With that being said, my goal is to minimize shipping cost and concentrate on the thing that matters most - the ingredients. My shop does not offer free shipping often and does not build the shipping cost into the price tag. What you see is what you get.
I have an open door policy, so please do ask me anything you'd like to know. Pure Lips is transparent; what you see online, is what you will get. All ingredients are declared so you can make an informed decision to get the best products for yourself or your loved ones.
Thanks so much!
