Fresh Off the Presses



Auxiliary Magazine
, February 2010

When I was doing an interview with Auxiliary magazine, I didn’t expect to make the cover. Even though it’s my second one (first cover was with Lipstick Royalty), it’s always a mixed feeling of excitement and extreme humility. It makes you wonder, is what I’m going really that noteworthy?

One look at the photos from the collaboration between Emma Bell, Steve Prue and Kristin Jackson, and it becomes clear that it’s not me. It’s the team. With a group of talented people like this, how can you lose? I have been extremely fortunate to befriend and work with some of the best talent in the industry: models, makeup & hair artists, photographers, clothing and accessory designers. One thing all these people have in common is they are passionate about their craft and will plow through snow, rain, black ice, severe illness, just to make the shoot. They’ll be there, and deliver stellar results on top.

I wanted to thank everybody who has collaborated and supported Lime Crime throughout the years. I would like to especially thank bloggers and publications – it means equally a lot to me to see Lime Crime on the pages of Nylon magazine as it does in a small blog mention! This month, a lot of good press is coming out about LC, which I cannot wait to share. In the meanwhile, I would love for you to read the February issue of Auxiliary magazine which, aside from my interview, also features a review of the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA, a no-sew DIY guide, Emma Bell, Lovesick Corsets, Shrinkle, and much much more.

Love,

In other news, Lime Crime will be on TV again this weekend (last time was when Cat Deeley of So You Think You Can Dance wore it). You can catch it during the Wall Street Journal Report segment this Sunday, December 13 at the following times:

  • Nationally on cable, CNBC @ 7:30pm
  • NY area: WNBC-4 @ 11:30am
  • Other cities run the show a variety of times throughout the weekend

The Wall Street Journal Report is syndicated to over 200 local stations nationally. If anyone can Tivo it, that would be great as I don’t have a TV. Big thanks to Lauren of Daily Candy for making it happen!!

When Nylon’s editor invited me to her office to chat about my lipstick line, my jaw was on the floor. It’s a publication I read religiously and the ONLY magazine I still subscribe to!!!

The whole experience was surreal. Nylon offices are as awesome as the magazine itself – from the neon sign in reception area to two sharpeis roaming around freely! Editor and I chatted for about an hour – with her jotting down notes – and covered, seemingly, every subject from crazy lipstick colors to importance of sticking to your guns to my favorite animals, unicorns. On the whole, I am pleased with the way it turned out – the only thing that got slightly misinterpreted was the part about  ‘pigment-dulling fillers’. I just never put any in my products to begin with, so there was nothing to remove. Other than that, it’s a thumbs-up from me.

This issue will be available all throughout November so go pick it up! You can get Nylon in a bookstore like Borders.

Beauty editor Heather & I chatted about why I started Lime Crime, inspiration behind color names and what makes L.C. different from Makeup Forever & MAC.

“Makeup and fashion are my pleasures! Sometimes your pleasures can get you in trouble. It can even be illegal! (Get your mind out the gutter!) Founder and owner of Lime Crime Makeup, Doe Deere, believes in the same philosophy through the presence of her fabulously bright and unique color palettes. Lime Crime Makeup allows you to make a scene…a beauty crime scene that will have heads turning and jaws dropping so much that someone will want to make a citizen’s arrest! Just tell them to put down the handcuffs and dip their brush in a pot of Circus Girl or Cleopatra Magic Dust!” Read more

A style profile with me got featured on Links a la Mode on Independent Fashion Bloggers. Many thanks from the Queen of Unicorns!

By the way, if you use Live Journal, someone made a set of Doe Deere icons. I’m totally blushing right now.
