n September 22, the American Cancer Society and the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) Foundation joined together to host the 2011 DreamBall at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The event, founded by Beauty Fashions John G. Ledes, is the primary source of funding for the Look GoodFeel Better (LGFB) program. LGFB is a free, non-medical, brand-neutral resource created to aid cancer patients as they undergo chemotherapy, radiation and other forms of treatment by providing the essential tools and guidance to improve outward appearances. The programs mission is to restore confidence, allowing patients to better cope with their treatment and recovery. LGFB has offered workshops to over 750,000 women in the US and to more than 1.2 million people worldwide. In total, the 2011 DreamBall raised a remarkable $2.1 million to benefit LGFB, including additional contributions raised that evening. Hosted by television personality and Chef Giada De Laurentiis, the DreamBall honored Linda Wells, Editor-in-Chief of Allure, and Jonathan Zrihen, President and CEO of Clarins Groupe North America. The honorees were recognized for their leadership and significant involvement within the industry. Ms. Wells recently attended a LGFB clinic that allowed her to experience beauty in a new way. As the women opened their LGFB boxes [containing cosmetics], the boxes seemed as if they held a cure, and for some they did. LGFB raises hope and The 2011 DreamBall honorees restores confidence. It was the best before and after Ive ever witnessed. Upon Clarins Jonathan Zrihen and accepting his honor, Mr. Zrihen stated, The concept of LGFB is at the core of the Allures Linda Wells (r.) with the 2011 DreamGirl Shannon Miller beauty industry; no other industry is better at making women feel more beautiful. LGFB is our calling. This years DreamGirl was Olympic Gold Medalist Shannon Miller. She was diagnosed with Stage 1a ovarian cancer in January of 2011. After the successful removal of the tumor, Ms. Miller faced 9 weeks of preventative chemotherapy which she approached with her athletes mentality as if she were preparing for competition. Ms. Miller noted how closely self image was tied to her well-being and the role it played in the healing process. She affirmed, LGFB transforms signs of sickness into signs of life. Ms. Miller concluded with a plea to the audience, Make your health a priority. Do not delay; do not reschedule; early detection saves lives.

Betsey Johnsons career has ranged from dancer to fashion Designer, and both of her professions created the theme of her newest scent, Too Too. Ms. Johnson refers to her style as take a leotard, and then add a skirt, and that phrase links to her fragrance. Florence Bagneris, an Account Manager at Firmenich, informed that Ms. Johnson was very involved in the development of Too Too with Firmenichs Perfumer Ilias Ermenedis. Betsey wanted a fragrance that could be worn by any woman 12 to 87. She is all about energy, passion, fun and edginess, and Too Too is Red Bull in a fragrance. Betsey Johnson Too Too, offered by Inter Parfums, is a blend of sweet passion fruit, sparkling mandarins, ginger and strawberry leaves with jasmine, Bulgarian rose, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla. The juice is presented in a flacon inspired by a treasured ornament purchased by Ms. Johnson in Woodstock, New York many years ago. The bottle is decorated in a bold pink and black decanter covered with flowers and tulle. A round, weighted bottom balances a sleek, sexy torso laced up and bound with silk. Each bottle is dressed in a full, voluptuous tutu wrapped in an individually namesake Betsey Johnson ribbon. This is my dream bottle, inspired by Schiaparelli and years of tutus, Ms. Johnson expressed. The fragrance comes in a 30 ml size for $42.00; 50 ml, $62.00 and 100 ml, $82.00. The collection also includes Body Lotion priced at $28.00; a Rollerball, $18.00 and a Gift Set of a 50 ml Too Too and Body Lotion presented in a train case. It is available now exclusively at Sephora until April 2012 when it will be in department stores and specialty boutiques worldwide.

Good As Gold
bebe gold Eau de Parfum is all about the bebe womans glamorous side, declared Inter Parfums Director of Marketing, Kristin Spinn.
The bebe brand targets its contemporary apparel and accessories for the modern, sexy and sophisticated woman. Its latest fragrance accessory is bebe gold Eau de Parfum. Takasagos Senior Perfumer Claudette Belnavis collaborated with Inter Parfums to create the warm, ambery juice. bebe gold is an oriental, woody floral that opens on a top note of pink pepper, kumquat and juniper berries. Its middle note of Egyptian jasmine, everlasting flower and gold orchid is based on a drydown of opoponax, sandalwood and golden amber. The fragrance is presented in a smoky charcoal glass flacon that is drawn from the sensuous curves of the female form and has a gold metal heart debossed with the bebe logo. It is adorned with a removable pav heart charm. bebe gold Eau de Parfum comes in a .33 oz. size for $12.00; 1.7 oz., $49.50 and 3.4 oz., $65.00. According to Andy Clarke, President of Inter Parfums USA, the hugely successful global launch of the bebe fragrance set up a demand for another bebe scent, so we developed bebe gold. The fragrance is now distributed in bebe stores. It is being promoted with a sampling program of vial-on-cards and outdoor as well as print advertising. There will be a GWP with a $100.00 purchase.

BF: What beauty categories are particularly effective on TV? What products might be more problematic, such as fragrance? CL: With skincare, we are able to really demonstrate the benefits of the products, the ingredients and what the product will deliver. With color cosmetics and hair care, particularly styling products, its all about how to get the same effects at home. There is this perception that it is difficult for us to sell fragrance, and I can tell you that is not true. We have a wonderful and very robust fragrance business, particularly with Philosophy. It goes back to storytelling and the credibility behind the product and the brand. It is how we are able to articulate on air and online what the customer cant personally experience. I use Philosophys Founder, Cristina Carlino, as an example of how she was able to tell a great story because it came from her heart. We have been able to have success across all beauty categories. There is nothing that we cant do. BF: What do you see as the benefits of engaging the customer on TV? CL: Clearly the benefit is our ability to educate the customer on the products, to tell her about what they are going to do and deliver to her. We tell her how to use it and the results she can expect. For example, with color, we can tell her what the product is; demonstrate how to use it and how the colors will look on a certain skin tone. This sets up a high level of confidence when the customer gets the item at home. There is also entertainment involved. I have coined the word, edutainment, which is that you are entertaining and educating at the same time. There is a beautiful chemistry between those two aspects. What makes an on-air presentation truly successful is that you are educating and entertaining the customer at the same time. BF: How would you define the current beauty product mix offered on QVC? CL: QVCs current product mix runs across all beauty categories. We have a competitive skincare business. We also have a robust color cosmetic business and a very good hair care business as well. An expanding area for us right now is hard goodsthe devices.

hree veterans of the cosmetic industry have formed the new Dermaceutical Laboratories, a Division of IFC International. The company has currently completed a state-of-the-art, 100,000 square foot facility in New Jersey to service the beauty industry for the research, development and manufacturing of cosmetic and personal care products. A warehouse located nearby will store components and finished goods. Dermaceutical Laboratories is led by CEO Renato M. Jose, formerly President and CEO of Medicia Inc. and Founder and President of RMJ Laboratories, Inc.; President James Chang and Executive VP Marketing & Product Development Wendy Chang. Although it is more costly to maintain a pseudo-pharmaceutical facility, Mr. Chang believes it positions Dermaceutical Laboratories competitively ahead of other cosmetic contract manufacturers. The technology we have in the manufacturing and filling of our products is of superior quality. What will set us apart is not only our processing technology and on-time delivery of products but new patented ingredients that will be exclusive to Dermaceutical Laboratories, Ms. Chang affirmed. We are always looking for new technology and creative collaborations that distance us from the typical, cosmetic contract manufacturers. The manufacturing facility at Dermaceutical Laboratories will be up and running next month. We have had a plan in place and ordered state-of-the-art equipment from Germany a year in advance to fulfill our vision plan for this facility, according to Ms. Chang. Clients will be able to tour the facility later this month. What they will see, Mr. Jose explained, will be a state-of-the-art, vacuum-pressure kettle that is fully automated depending on how you program it. Our batch-filling line will be in a Class 1000 Clean Air Room as well as a Class 100 Clean Air Room, which he shares is required for the Dermaceutical Laboratories James Chang, manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. It is so clean you could Wendy Chang and Renato Jose even produce eye drops in the space. According to Mr. Chang, the Research and Development Laboratory is now in operation, and he has begun interviewing potential employees for R&D and manufacturing, Who we believe to be best suited for the job. The R&D lab is equipped with a baby version of the same equipment that is used in the manufacturing process. So, whatever we make in the manufacturing facility will have been previously tested 100% in the smaller equipment copy to ensure successful manufacturing scale-up and make sure the product quality is maintained, Ms. Chang assured. No one else has the batching equipment we have in the contract filling industry, Mr. Jose said. All of it is designed as per our specification and has been custom-made for us. The transfer of technology from the laboratories to the manufacturing process will really be excellent. He shared that an independent laboratory will do all of the IQ, OQ and Dermaceutical Laboratories state-of-the-art vacuum-pressure PQ validation for the facility. kettle

Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President of The Este Lauder Companies, affirmed, The new global campaign emphasizes the power of many millions of people joining together around the world with one voice to spread the all-important message of breast health, and that early detection saves lives.

Avon And mark. Representatives Share Their Sales Tips For Success
JUDY MADSEN Independent Avon Representative Senior Executive Unit Leader Salinas, California Growing up as a small town girl on a farm, I learned the importance of hard work and perseverance. After marrying and starting a family of my own, I decided I wanted to teach my kids to have a good work ethic as well. When my daughter needed help with her car payments during her high school years, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to sign us both up as Avon Representatives. I never imagined then that 26 years later, I would be where I am today with my Avon business. Being a direct seller, I find it imperative to get my word out anywhere and everywhere. My outlook on my business is can do, will do. When I first joined Avon, I would go door-to-door introducing myself in my neighborhood. After making it into Avons prestigious Presidents Club my very first year, I decided to branch out my approach and started placing daily ads in my local newspaper. I even opened up a table in a local store in my town. As I watched my business rapidly grow, I soon realized that Avon was perfect for me. I knew I wouldnt be able to make the earnings that I do now anywhere else. My secret to success lies within how I treat my customers. I live by the quote, If you help others get what they want, you get what you want too. I am never too pushy when selling, and I always notify customers of sales and special promotions. My biggest focus as a Representative is making sure my customers feel comfortable. My customers are like my family, and I treat them the way I would like to be treated when making a purchase. I always remember to show off my awards and recognitions when signing new Representatives up so they can see firsthand what they too can achieve with a little hard work! Another major attribute to my successful business is my familys involvement. My daughter, granddaughter and niece are now part-time Avon Representatives. My son, a loan broker, advises me on my business, and my supportive husband attends meetings and trips with me. The most rewarding aspect of Avon is that I can achieve my dreams without sacrificing time spent with my wonderful family. YESENIA WARD Independent Avon Representative Unit Leader Las Vegas, Nevada Avon has been such a wonderful experience for me. As a stay-at-home mom with two young children, I have found the perfect way to balance time spent with my kids and time spent with adults. Avon has given me the opportunity to go out and talk to people in my neighborhood whom I might never have met. I used to be shy, but now I feel comfortable talking to anyone! Four years ago, I joined Avon because I wanted a way to make a little extra money without sacrificing time spent with my kids. I grew up using my mothers Avon products, so when I came across the opportunity to sign up as a Representative, I knew it was the right choice for me. Its so easy to sell something that I use myself, and that I know is reliable. My customers have all heard of Avon and love the brand. This makes selling so simple! When it comes to my marketing strategy, I emphasize the quality of Avons products. I have my mother test out new products and give me feedback, which I then pass along to my customers. The skincare products are my top-sellers, so I am always sure to have my mother try out the latest ANEW products. My supportive family is one of the main reasons why I have been so successful with my Avon business. My customers love receiving deliveries from my two little boys and often request it! Not only is my mother my #1 customer, but she is always happy to help me out with finding new customers. By handing out brochures at her workplace, she helps me access new clients every day. In addition, my sister-in-law, mother-in-law and many other family members are some of my best customers.

This runs the gamut from hair tools and a wide assortment of at-home skincare devices coming through FDA [approval]. These are high-priced, investment purchases, and were able to articulate very well through TV on how to effectively use these devices. When Clarisonic came to QVC, it kicked off the importance of this new category. This beauty tool delivered exceptional results. Initially, we were a little nervous about whether a cleansing brush at this price point would resonate with the customers, but they immediately jumped on it. Three years later, we still have a wonderful business with Clarisonic. Its led the way to getting the consumer to understand and buy into some of these at-home devices that they have been experiencing in spas and medi-spas. BF: What beauty categories do you want to expand? CL: The biggest category that we want to expand is the device business. A lot of high-profile, sophisticated devices coming down the pike for 2012 had to get FDA clearance and approval, but that took a lot longer than anyone anticipated. However, with that kind of clearance, we can now take these devices to a new level because we are able to make substantiated claims about them, their efficacy and what they will do. Aside from categories per se, its more about how we can continue to present our assortment. We are now focusing on the concept of QVC everywhere. You dont have to be at home watching TV to buy a beauty product from QVC. With our online business and our mobile app business, you can take QVC anywhere with you. My team wants to make QVC a destination to shop everywhere, not just at home in front of a television. BF: Will you keep a prestige level of cosmetics and fragrance in your beauty assortment, or do you want to explore some brands from mass? CL: QVC made the decision to work and play in the prestige area. As such, we have always continued to occupy that space as well as the products and brands represented there. Right now, we have no plans to get into mass brands and products. Its not because we dont believe in the efficacy of these brands. We just want to keep a specific message for the customer. BF: Are you planning to offer some lines and/or products that are exclusive to QVC? CL: Exclusivity at QVC is an important tool that we use for both exclusive launches within brands and exclusive brands. We understand its value and when it works best for us. We strive to choose products that resonate with the customer. Sometimes it helps us if the brand has some additional distribution. Or, we might have an exclusive brand. If a product is very meaningful to our customer, we will ask for an exclusive, but its not a requirement for a vendor to have exclusive offers on QVC. We might have a brand that is completely exclusive to us or an exclusive franchise within a brand. BF: Will celebrity brands be an important part of the QVC mix? CL: We havent focused on celebrity brands as aggressively as some of our other areas at QVC. We will always consider it where it feels authentic, where it feels real and where it feels relevant. The best way we do celebrity is through people that service the celebrity community Makeup Artists, Hairstylists, Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons, which in todays reality, are celebrities themselves. Their celebrity status is more about the fact that they are servicing [celebrities]. We have a

The business model for the division is suited to luxury brands that would not find it cost-effective to maintain a very high level, high-professional quality sales team. The division provides input on P&Ls for their companies and suggests where costs can be shifted or reduced. If you put a couple of prestige/luxury brands together, which have a limited distribution, our business model helps everybody, Ms. Kline affirmed. Fusion Brands Luxury Fragrance Division consists of Regional Vice Presidents and Regional Territory Managers who also train and sell. We hire freelance teams for all of the major markets in the US so, at any given time, such as at holidays, there may be 450 to 700 people working on the brands under our leadership in all of the stores segregated by each brand, Ms. Kline said. We manage it all down to the door level by week, by day, by hour. The Luxury Fragrance Divisions sales conference brought in the marketing teams from each of the brands they work with.

The first day was spent reviewing marketing initiatives for fall 2011. Ms. Kline shared that the second day was devoted to the sales plan for each account. Breakout sessions for each of the sales regions were held on the third day where each Vice President sat with their team to discuss prioritizing, link-selling, freelance teams, training for all brands and a focus door program.

Oscar de la Rentas marketing team brought gifts for all of the sales conference participants as they presented their new fragrance, live in love, as well as highlighted Oscar de la Rentas personal appearance at Lord & Taylor on October 12. The Luxury Fragrance Division came up with a program that was initiated last month, which would create a synergy between the fragrance and fashion teams from each brand. As an example, the Diane von Furstenberg fashion Account Executive in Dallas would be connected to Fusion Brands Luxury Fragrance Divisions Regional Territory Manager so they could work together on any special events, fashion shows and in-store training during the Diane by Diane von Furstenberg fragrance launch. Our team would also educate the fashion group on what is in the fragrance and how to link it to ready-to-wear. With this strategy, youve got all of the experts in the field helping each other to grow the brand as we push into the future, Ms. Kline noted. Special awards were given at the sales conference. David Price was singled out for Notable Achievement in Executive Sales Management. Kate Knoop was honored for Notable Achievement in Beauty Sales. Suzanne Segien earned her Notable Achievement for Fragrance Sales. To close the sales meeting, Ms. Kline announced that soon a very exciting high-end Designer license will be finalized and, we hope to be able to disclose the label in the next month.

MAKING SALES
(continued from page 39)
The most beneficial part about being an Avon Representative is that I can work at my own pace and on my own time. I am also part of Avons Leadership program, which I joined two years ago. In Leadership, I help to recruit, mentor and train new Representatives. I love growing my team, and I hope to take my Avon business even further in the years to come.
LAUREN PERCIBALLI mark. Representative Brooklyn, New York I have been a mark. Rep for almost two years and first became interested in the program after seeing a video about the benefits the company offers their Reps. I was completely inspired and knew I wanted to join the mark. family. Unlike most jobs, being a mark. Rep has enabled me to create my own work hours and be my own boss while I was student-teaching and attending graduate school full time. Even with my hectic schedule, I was able to step back and focus solely on school work when needed, then jump right back into selling when I had extra time. Now, I am a New York State-licensed teacher and can apply my earnings towards my student loans. In the midst of learning new skills in my college classes, mark. taught me how to be a business owner and reach my goals. I had the opportunity to learn from influential and inspiring women in the company and follow in the footsteps of amazing Representatives from all over the country. One of the most important things Ive learned is the power of networking. Although this is just one of the tools I use to sell mark., its an extremely valuable one! I can easily start conversations anywhere I go by distributing magalogs at high traffic places such as restaurants, doctors offices, laundromats and libraries, to name a few. In addition to networking in person, Ive found it extremely beneficial to utilize social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to reach current and potential customers. I believe my ambition, dedication and devotion to my jobs as a freelance Makeup Artist, mark. Rep and full time student have helped me to stand out among other mark. Reps. This summer, I was selected to take on the role as a mark. intern in the Sales and Communication Department. My dream career path is to pursue the type of work I did while interning at mark., such as developing creative and informative programs, materials and workshops to help the Reps reach their full potential as business owners. I cant wait to see where the mark. path will lead me next! BF

lot of professionals who service real A-list celebrities. Certainly they are very active within the celebrity environment.
Research and Development Laboratory
BF: What is your vision for growing the beauty department at QVC? CL: I want to continue to support the on-air presentations by looking for new opportunities and new formats for programming and ways to entertain the customer. That can be by bringing in more status shows such as the destination show we have called Friday Night Beauty. It is a show where we focus on what we consider new, innovative and interesting products. We recently did a show where Mally Roncal and Chaz Dean did a whole spin on makeup and hair. We tied in with Fashion Week and participate in Red Carpet events as well as other projects that can really add punch to what we do. We are looking at how we leverage these activities with our online and mobile applications. For the past two years, QVC has broadcasted, Buzz On The Red CarpetLive From LA in February during award season. It is a good opportunity for us to really get behind the whole idea of how our celebrity professionals get the celebrities ready for the Red Carpet. BF: Will QVCs beauty offerings become even more important as QVC expands internationally? CL: QVC currently operates in the US, Germany, UK, Japan and, most recently, Italy, which launched in October 2010. QVC recognizes the importance and relevance of having beauty in the assortment in every global market. In the UK and Germany, our business is very robust. The approach QVC takes is still very much market by market and what works for the specific consumer in each specific location. BF: What do you see as QVCs potential going forward? CL: We want peoples perception of QVC to be more than just [a consumer] sitting in front of a TV. When you look at digital electronic retailing, we are poised to exploit that in a much bigger way. At QVC, we are so much more than TV, which is still a very important part of what we do. At the same time, we can really be active and productive in the outer digital space through online media and through mobile applications. We have mobile apps for the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android, and even a dedicated beauty app. We are incredibly active in the social media space. We talk about QVC everywhere. The only thing we dont have is stores, but we cover every other aspect of retail. BF

He noted that often a big company will do a complete audit of the contract manufacturing facility before they will do business with you. They will not do business with you unless you are in compliance with Cosmetics Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) and also with proven cosmetic production practices. They check your facility as well as its surroundings. If you pass the audit, your chance of doing business with them is higher. During a tour of Dermaceutical Laboratories, Ms. Chang pointed out the R&D area where we are able to dedicate separate sections for skincare, cosmeceuticals and specialty hair care product development. There are rooms set aside for stability-testing Freeze/Thaw, RT, 36C, 45C, & 50C conditions and space with special lighting where color cosmetics are tested and color-corrected. We wanted to create an open environment full of space, light and custom equipment where the flow of creativity and innovation happens. Defining the role of Dermaceutical Laboratories, Mr. Chang shared that the contract manufacturing facility will use its advanced technology to focus on skincare and anti-aging products, but they will also produce cosmetics in other categories. Our goal is to make sure our customers know they are in good hands. We are manufacturing their products within a far superior facility to what is comparable in the industry. BF
