Why was it important to you to have your own line?
"Well, I think it’s kind of a wonderful next chapter for me, in terms of my career and my passion for beauty and accessories and home. And I think there really is a void in the beauty market for something feminine and modern. I’ve been walking into the beauty store, and everyone that sees it really responds to the pink and the gold and the simplicity of it. So, it was a wonderful next step. And I think that it works perfectly with Estée Lauder; it’s a wonderful complement to the existing gold fluted lipstick, as well as the Pure Color one, so it really becomes very much [part of] the family."
