b"As moms, we lead very busy lives and whether we\\u2019re working women or hold down the fort at home, there\\u2019s something that changes in us when we feel we look our best - it\\u2019s that mani/pedi, that blowout, or those perfect makeup essentials that take us from feeling drab to fab and ready to put ourselves out there and take on the world.\\nOn today\\u2019s episode, we\\u2019re zeroing in on makeup essentials that enhance your natural beauty, are quick/easy, don\\u2019t take up much real estate in your cosmetic bag or diaper fanny pack, and most importantly have a patented packaging (they\\u2019re crayons guys, and who doesn\\u2019t love crayons -- not just your kids) and unique formulas that give you a fresh, flawless face. The brand I\\u2019m talking about is Trestique and I\\u2019m here with the founder and Co-CEO, Jenn Kapahi.\\nJenn grew up on her family\\u2019s organic farm on the North Fork. Besides working in the fields and on the retail stand, her side hustle was waitressing, starting a piano school, babysitting, working with the vet and doing makeup at Saks in Southampton. In college she studied fine art, played on the women\\u2019s soccer team and held 3 part time jobs.\\nUpon graduation, she worked at Bloomingdales and worked her way up to becoming the Assistant Store Manager of the Cosmetics Dept. responsible for 7 brands and 300 employees. She loved the world of makeup but disliked the lack of creativity in the retail sector, which led her to join the marketing team of a top global cosmetic manufacturer, then she moved to Revlon where she worked as a Global Product Developer, and finally, launched her own cosmetics brand, tr\\xe8StiQue in June 2015.\\nTrestique Links:\\n\\nWEBSITE: Trestique.com\\n\\n\\nINSTAGRAM: @trestique\\n\\n\\nFACEBOOK: /trestique\\n\\n\\nLINKEDIN: Trestique\\n\\n\\nPINTEREST: @trestique\\n\\n\\nPersonal Links:\\n\\nINSTAGRAM: @jenniferkapahi\\n\\n\\nFACEBOOK: /jennifer.adrienne\\n\\n\\nLINKEDIN: Jennifer Kapahi\\n\\n\\nINSTAGRAM: @sangleefarms (family\\u2019s farm)\\n\\nPress:\\n\\nFORBES: How This Founder Turned Her childhood Hobby Into an Innovative Business\\n\\n\\nHUFFPOST: Women in Business Q&A: Jennifer Kapahi, co-founder, treStiQue\\n\\n\\nENTREPRENEUR: 'You Can Have It All, But It's a Sh*t Show,' Find These Two Beauty Industry Mavens\\n\\n\\nMAKEUP: WCW: Jenn Kapahi, Founder of treStiQue, Shares Her Daily Makeup Routine\\n\\n\\nTHE STYLE LINE: Studio Visit: Jennifer Kapahi of treStiQue on Blending Beauty and Style\\n\\n\\nTHE LIFESTYLE EDIT: Back to Basics with Jennifer Kapahi, the Beauty Entrepreneur shaking Up the Makeup Game\\n\\n\\nMom Haul:\\n\\nMAYLINDSTROM: The Youth Dew\\xa0\\n\\nHUMBLE BEBE: Sip-n-Snug, Harlow the Hippo\\n\\n\\nAMAZON: SPRI Foam Roller"
