Lipstick Effect
Customers Crave: Low cost luxury goods that lift their spirits and deliver big bang
for their buck
U.S. retail sales of cosmeceuticals at $9.7 billion
with ongoing annual sales gains expected to boost the market to

Swoon Delivers
Part Spoon | Part Applicator | Powerful Product Extender
Say goodbye to lost gloss!
Applicator
supplied by
manufacturer
can’t reach all
the lip gloss

The Problem Solved by Swoon
• Average tube of
prestige lip gloss costs
$22.50
• $4.50 worth of product
wasted
• 25 million units shipped
annually
• 100 million units sitting
in homes today - $450
million saved!
20% of lip gloss is paid for
& not enjoyed by consumer
5
Swoon is an Overdue Product
“Don't you hate it when you're almost out of lip gloss and
you can see more inside the tube but can't reach it with
the applicator? Me too. I taught myself this trick back in
high school so I could remove the stopper and scrape every
last bit of lip gloss off the sides of the bottle."
"I cut the tube in half with a pair of scissors and use a cosmetic
spatula... Usually I can use this for a couple more weeks!"
"I would definitely go with a Q-tip. My next thought was a pipe
cleaner but that might hurt!"
“The trick, she told me, is to remove the 'wand wiper' which
allows the wand to reach further to the bottom and closer
to the side walls."

Inception
6
Swoon’s founder is a self-proclaimed lip gloss lover. She loves its sheen, shine and the way it makes her pout
perky. Despite her love for gloss, it caused her a significant point of pain. No matter the brand, the applicator
never reaches to the bottom of the tube, causing her to toss tubes that still contained valuable product
inside, until now…

Swoon Buzz
“OK, this is genius. And I totally JUST threw three Chanel
gloss tubes away that still had gloss in them and I was
cursing as I did… Send me one”
-Melissa Stone Mangham, VP Marketing, Style Network
“Keisha Wright thought that it would be a good idea to create a
solution to this age old problem by simply creating a longer
wand (duh right?). Meet Swoon- The product that will allow
your gloss to be great to the last drop.”
-Glitter, Gloss, Garbage Beauty Blog
“Swoon is a genius invention… a universal lip gloss wand
that is part spoon, part applicator and allows makeup
wearers everywhere to finally use every ounce of their lip
gloss ...”

Future Product Development
Future product development will be guided by the “lip stick effect,” the
theory that consumers are more willing to purchase lower cost luxury goods
that lift their spirits and deliver big bang for their buck, and the success of
“cosmeceuticals” which deliver curative and preventative benefits on top of
cosmetic ones.

  • 3. 3 Swoon Delivers Part Spoon | Part Applicator | Powerful Product Extender Say goodbye to lost gloss!
  • 4. Applicator supplied by manufacturer can’t reach all the lip gloss 4 The Problem Solved by Swoon • Average tube of prestige lip gloss costs $22.50 • $4.50 worth of product wasted • 25 million units shipped annually • 100 million units sitting in homes today - $450 million saved! 20% of lip gloss is paid for & not enjoyed by consumer
  • 5. 5 Swoon is an Overdue Product “Don't you hate it when you're almost out of lip gloss and you can see more inside the tube but can't reach it with the applicator? Me too. I taught myself this trick back in high school so I could remove the stopper and scrape every last bit of lip gloss off the sides of the bottle." "I cut the tube in half with a pair of scissors and use a cosmetic spatula... Usually I can use this for a couple more weeks!" "I would definitely go with a Q-tip. My next thought was a pipe cleaner but that might hurt!" “The trick, she told me, is to remove the 'wand wiper' which allows the wand to reach further to the bottom and closer to the side walls."

She loves its sheen, shine and the way it makes her pout perky. Despite her love for gloss, it caused her a significant point of pain. No matter the brand, the applicator never reaches to the bottom of the tube, causing her to toss tubes that still contained valuable product inside, until now…
