Not for the lips but for another use.....


I shot this little bit of video to send to the client showing them that their product was at the end of the line in production and would be shipping out that day.  There is something mesmerizing in watching the continuous flow of product as it goes through the labeling equipment at a remarkable rate. All products are lot coded and quality control needs to come by and sample it for product meeting specs on the batch, the fill and even the labeling to make sure we are all spinning in the right direction.

Just so we don't spin out of control!

Caught Red Handed!


This is our batching area and you can see the tank in front with the red on the edge.  This is a fresh batch of red Face Paints that are being filled this week to put into stock.
A separate batch will be made for all of these colors.  As a new product introduction this year it has far surpassed our expectations!  So when the next big event happens-be ready.  So far these paints in the small .1oz tubes have been used by grade schools, middle schools, high schools and colleges.  They have been used by summer camps, parades and as giveaways for a variety of events.

Need Paint?  Send me a note and I will direct you to one of the suppliers that carry it...

I know you have been saving your lips for me!

This is the mighty cluttered desk top of the Pied Piper.  The place where lip rescue 911 starts.  Among the items laying there are the sunscreen products for the USGA Woman's Championship being played right now in the 100 degree heat up the road in Kohler, Wisconsin.  There is also some of our blue wonder cream, pet conditioner, soap, hand sanitizer and a plethora of lip balms.

Note the highly sophisticated system of note organization, the symmetry of the carefully placed pens and highlighters and the strategic placement of the OUTDOOR show print out.  Salt Lake City in August...the Pied Piper will be there!

Steamy and sunny conditions lead to chapped and stressed lips.  Keep them puckerable, use some spf lip balm!
