‘Never Take a Break From Looking Great’ is the fun tagline for Intermission Beauty, a cosmetics line I discovered while visiting BroadwayCon in late January. The line was created by Douglas Otero, a singer, dancer and actor-turned celebrity makeup artist who wanted to create a line of fabulous lipsticks. Douglas also wanted to team-up with Broadway’s finest stars, and bring awareness to the cause of preventing animal cruelty. He decided that the lipstick shade names would be inspired by the vibrancy of the theater’s fiercest Divas, as well as his own love of musicals. After years of rehearsal, the big red curtain finally lifted and the Broadway Diva Series for Intermission Beauty took the stage.
Intermission’s Broadway Diva Series features lipsticks named after, created and hand picked by the Divas themselves. The lipsticks are paraben-free, gluten-free, and made with as few ingredients as possible so they are good for you and good for the environment. Whether you’re the lead, in the ensemble, or behind-the-scenes, you are sure to find a color that will complement your style. Portions of the proceeds from sales of the Broadway Diva Series lipsticks benefit the ASPCA and The Humane Society, pushing the efforts to end cruelty to animals once and for all!
All long-wearing lipsticks are manufactured in the U.S.A.

Intermission has also recently introduced a line of organic, all-natural-ingredient facial mists in two varieties: The Enchanted Rose and Under the Sea. Both are beneficially hydrating, with a pure ingredient list unlike other mist products, which are generally made mostly of water, and can contain fragrance or alcohol. The Enchanted Rose is for all skin types while Under the Sea is ideally suited for drier skin types. Both mists will have you glowing in a few minutes time, which is why Intermission suggests misting after cleansing, and before your skincare routine. You may also mist after applying your makeup or in the middle of the day to recharge and refresh.

I don’t think you can truly understand how very much I wanted to purchase this tiny jar of Pink Vaseline when I spied it conveniently planted in the point-of-purchase area as I waited to check out at Duane Reade. It is very beautiful and pink and tiny (and therefore nearly irresistible me) but I already have lip gloss in my pocketbook and a normal size jar of regular Vaseline at home., so I was able to resist an impulse purchase. Gail: 1, Duane Reade: 0.

The packaging design of this fragrant body spray is almost too pink to resist, especially when you add the fluorescent, multi-colored lip prints. Even the fragrance name, “Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy” sounds almost edible. And I guess that is what good advertising is all about: compelling you to purchase a product based solely on how it looks on the shelf. Oh, the Pinkness.
