Show notes

Sara Happ's mission is simple: "Do one thing. Lips. And do them perfectly." Back in 2005, after reading "exfoliate lips with a wet washcloth or toothbrush" for the twentieth time, Sara Happ created the first ever Lip Scrub — and since then her beloved eponymous line of lip products have included the first-ever CLAY Lip Mask, the first-ever painless Lip Plumper and her newest launch, the Let's Glow Lip Illuminator — which is a highlighter specifically for your lips. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Sara — who is widely respected and known as "The Lip Expert" — tells about her journey from journalism to the coveted makeup aisles of Sephora and Nordstrom, shares how to add a personal touch when approaching stores about your products and talks about the importance of doing your "one thing" better than anyone else.
