WHAT WERE YOUR INITIAL GOALS FOR SEXY LIP-LICIOUS? There was a lack in the market for a glamorous gloss that did it all! I wanted an unforgettable gloss that would make lips look and feel sexy and kissable! I wanted to design one that was not gooey, with a silky texture, long-lasting and felt great on the lips while simultaneously moisturizing and giving the illusion of bigger lips sans the injections and pain. So I got together with my chemist and created Sexy Lip-licious and it’s become an instant hit with all the celebs!
HOW MANY COLORS TOTAL ARE THERE AND WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE ONE? There are 25 colors in the Sexy Lip-Licious line. They can be worn alone or layered with your favorite lipsticks. My #1 favorite is Taylor Swift’s favorite – Mint Baby Doll. She loved it when I put it on her and wore it on stage when she performed! My second favorite is Jennifer Love Hewitt’s favorite – Mint Apricot. Because it’s a great daytime look and can also be layered with your favorite lipstick for an instant sexy look!
looked fabulous in the sexy gloss and it made their lips look beautiful!
WHAT WAS THE BEST PART OF YOUR ACMA EXPERIENCE? Being personally told by Taylor Swift, LeAnn Rimes, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Victoria’s Secret’s Marissa Miller how much they loved my lip glosses. In fact they loved it so much they made sure to give me their information so I could send them some more when they run out!!
WHAT’S IN THE FUTURE FOR YOU AND THE BRAND? I’ve already been invited to the Emmy’s, Golden Globes and American Music Awards. In the near future (this year) and it won’t be long before the whole world is rocking Leslie Tyler Sexy Lip-licious! You can find the gloss around the world in ultra-chic boutiques and high-end department stores and, of course, online at www.LeslieTyler.com.
WHICH CELEBRITIES IN YOUR OPINION ROCKED SEXY LIP-LICIOUS THE BEST? Beauties like Taylor Swift and model Marissa Miller
And now I want to share with Houstonians what the celebs rocked and loved!
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST REACTION WHEN THE ACM’S CALLED? My reaction? Celebrities have lots of choices in the cosmetics they use so I was completely amazed and flattered that my glosses were the lucky ones selected to be on all the celebrities’ lips! And the best part was that when they wore them, they absolutely fell in love with them!
