more Jesse’s Girl Makeup (photos)

Posted by By

Posted in Makeup / Cosmetics

I found out a little bit more about the Jesse’s Girl brand AND, per the request of a reader, went and took photos of the Jesses Girl cosmetics at Rite-aid.

“CRL Marketing, Inc. is relocating from Suffern, New York to the Premier Quilting Building on Industry Drive in Oxford, North Carolina. CRL Marketing was founded in 1999 by Jesse and Cathy Lawrence. The company markets color cosmetics and accessories under both the Jesse’s Girl and Yakity Yak brands as well as specializing in Private Label for mass merchandisers such as Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens. The new location in Oxford will act as a centralized distribution center handling the entire United States and Canada.” from http://www.granvillecounty.com/news.htm

::removed information… moved and address and phone number did not belong to the business anymore::

They don’t have a listing with the Better Business Bureau but they do have a Dunn & Bradstreet listing (but I’m not going to spend the money to find out more about them that way.)

BUT there’s not much more about the company online (though someone asked if they do animal testing … it would be great if someone could call and ask – if anyone does, post a comment here please. I may eventually end up doing it it no one else does.)

Now for the fun stuff – photos:

Walmart shoes and JCPenny Purse

Posted by By

dress shoes and purse

Usually I don’t go for items that have contrast stitching but these shoes fit, they’re low heel and they look sophisticated enough to wear to a business event but they also work well with jeans. They are also relatively comfortable – they’re not the most comfortable shoe I’ve worn (see my boots) but they aren’t going to make my feet hurt unless I go for an extremely long walk in them (they’re just not meant for that kind of activity.)

Then a couple of days later I was flipping through the Sunday newspaper inserts and saw this purse at JCPenny and decided to go check it out. I walked in the store and found it in less than a few minutes, checked it out, it fit my needs and wasn’t too big.

For around $18 each it’s hard to beat. They’re definitely versatile additions to my wardrobe. 🙂
