Lipstick Effect

Customers Crave: Low cost luxury goods that lift their spirits and deliver big bang for their buck

U.S. retail sales of cosmeceuticals at $9.7 billion with ongoing annual sales gains expected to boost the market to

$11.7 billion by 2016

Swoon Delivers

Part Spoon | Part Applicator | Powerful Product Extender Say goodbye to lost gloss!

Applicator supplied by manufacturer can’t reach all the lip gloss

The Problem Solved by Swoon

• Average tube of prestige lip gloss costs $22.50

• $4.50 worth of product wasted

• 25 million units shipped annually

• 100 million units sitting in homes today - $450 million saved!

20% of lip gloss is paid for & not enjoyed by consumer

Swoon is an Overdue Product

“Don't you hate it when you're almost out of lip gloss and you can see more inside the tube but can't reach it with the applicator? Me too. I taught myself this trick back in high school so I could remove the stopper and scrape every last bit of lip gloss off the sides of the bottle."

"I cut the tube in half with a pair of scissors and use a cosmetic spatula... Usually I can use this for a couple more weeks!"

"I would definitely go with a Q-tip. My next thought was a pipe cleaner but that might hurt!"

“The trick, she told me, is to remove the 'wand wiper' which allows the wand to reach further to the bottom and closer to the side walls."

Inception

Swoon’s founder is a self-proclaimed lip gloss lover. She loves its sheen, shine and the way it makes her pout perky. Despite her love for gloss, it caused her a significant point of pain. No matter the brand, the applicator never reaches to the bottom of the tube, causing her to toss tubes that still contained valuable product inside, until now…

Meet Swoon- The product that will allow your gloss to be great to the last drop.” -Glitter, Gloss, Garbage Beauty Blog “Swoon is a genius invention… a universal lip gloss wand that is part spoon, part applicator and allows makeup wearers everywhere to finally use every ounce of their lip gloss ...” “XO Swoon is clever”

Future Product Development

Future product development will be guided by the “lip stick effect,” the theory that consumers are more willing to purchase lower cost luxury goods that lift their spirits and deliver big bang for their buck, and the success of “cosmeceuticals” which deliver curative and preventative benefits on top of cosmetic ones.
