TAGLINE: Uncover. Discover. Believer.
Our tagline ‘Uncover. Discover. Believer.’ represents to us the cycle we experience before we know we have found exquisite elements in the beauty brands we decide to represent. The initial phase in the cycle is to uncover a new brand. We are either directly presented with a new brand, or we find it in a trade show, see it online or hear about it from customers. The next phase, regardless of the way we find and uncover a new brand, is the discover phase. This is an exciting journey that opens a brand to our senses. We aim to experience a brand and its products by a sensory discovery; one of smell, touch, and sight. In addition, our review process covers a host of due diligence questions that allow us to combine the sensory experience together with the factual and analytical information to produce a sum total. With thousands of lovely beauty brands available, to be discerning yet open to what each brand experience brings is a challenging task that we take seriously, yet few brands meet the standard we have set for ourselves and our customer. Every so often, a brand sweeps us away thanks to unique exotic natural ingredients, a level of efficacy that is remarkable and truly significant, innovations that make it stand out and provide the customer a unique and exciting experience, as well as, ensuring the highest level of quality and care in production. Like a symphony orchestra, all the instrumental pieces fit together and it is then that we become a believer.
LOGO
Our logo represents the symbolism of the chambered nautilus, one of the oldest creatures known to survive in the earth's oceans. It is a symbol of nature's grace in growth, expansion, and renewal. It is also a symbol of order amidst chaos as reflected in its spiral precision. As the nautilus grows, it does so in direct proportion to its needs and with geometric precision. Its shell is a perfect representation of its past and its potential to grow in perfect balance and harmony into its present and future needs. Just like human beings, the potential for growth and renewal is always naturally present.
