INTERMISSION BEAUTY
Theatre performer turned small business owner Douglas Otero began Intermission Beauty to create a line of makeup that was cruelty-free. The lipstick names are all inspired by some of the fiercest divas on Broadway. All of the lipsticks are named after, created, and handpicked by the diva herself. The Broadway Diva Lipstick series also benefits the ASPCA, The Humane Society, and smaller less visible organizations that are dedicated to animal rescue. Check them out at @intermissionbeauty.
