WELCOME BACK TO "LIVING
808."
OUR 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
CONTINUES WITH GIFTS FOR HER.
TODAY WE'RE FEATURING ELIZABETH
MOTT.
IT'S A LINE OF KOREA INSPIRED
BEAUTY PROJECTS REIMAGINED FOR
AN AMERICAN AUDIENCE.
HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT IT,
THE COMPANY'S FOUNDER ALICE KIM.
HELLO.
WELCOME TO "LIVING 808".
HI.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I HAVE
BEEN TO KOREA MANY TIMES AND I'M
ALWAYS EXCITED TO GO AND SHOP,
ESPECIALLY FOR SKIN CARE AND
MAKEUP PRODUCTS.
YES.
AND NAP IT'S NICE TO KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO
KOREA BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'VE GOT IT ALL HERE.
YEAH.
I STARTED THE COMPANY IN 2010
AND IT REALLY EVOLVED FROM
MYSELF BEING KOREAN-AMERICAN, I
VISITED KOREA FROM A VERY YOUNG
AGE AND THEY HAVE THESE STELLAR
COSMETICS THAT YOU KNOW.
AND IN THE AMERICAN MARKET THERE
JUST WASN'T THE SAME SORT OF THE
TYPE OF COSMETICS THAT I WOULD
SEE ON MY TRIPS TO KOREA.
SO WHILE I WAS LIVING IN NEW
YORK, THAT'S WHERE MY PREVIOUS
CAREER WAS, I DABBLED AROUND AND
STARTED WITH ONE PRODUCT AND
SAID, OKAY, THIS COULD BE VERY
INTERESTING FOR THE U.S.
CUSTOMER.
THEY HAVE THESE AMAZING
TECHNOLOGIES THAT THEY DON'T
HAVE HERE AND THEY ARE VERY
QUICK TO MARKET, WHEREAS IT'S
MUCH FASTER FOR A KOREAN
MANUFACTURER TO CREATE A LINE OF
COSMETICS VERSUS THE U.S.
WE STARTED WITH ONE PRODUCT AND
THEN WE STARTED WITH A MASCARA
WHICH UNTIL THIS DAY IS OUR BEST
SELLER.
TERRIFIC.
IT'S RIGHT HERE?
YES, RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS WHAT THE MASCARA LOOKS
LIKE.
IT'S CALLED IT'S SO BIG.
WE LIKE TO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR
NAMES.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S YOUR
BEST SELLER?
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE FLEXIBLE
TUBING POLYMER TECHNOLOGY THAT
WE USE IN OUR PRODUCTS.
OH, YEAH.
IT HAS THIS VERY SPECIAL HOUR
GLASS BRUSH SHAPE AND IT JUST
MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO PUSH THE
MMASCARA ON TO YOUR LASHES
ESPECIALLY FOR ASIAN LASHES THAT
ARE SPARSE LIKE MYSELF.
I TEST SOD MANY VERSIONS OF
MYSELF.
IF IT WORKS FOR ME, I'M SURE IT
WILL WORK FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER BEST
SELLERS?
WE'RE REALLY KNOWN FOR THE
EYE MAKE UP AND THE FACE PRIMERS
AND SUCH.
THE NEXT BEST SELLER THAT WE'RE
REALLY KNOWN FOR IS A BROWN GEL.
FOR WOMEN WITH SPARSE BROWS OR
JUST NOT ENOUGH HAIR OR
PIGMENTATION.
IF YOU'RE WEARING IT, IT
LOOKS AMAZING.
THANK YOU.
BEAUTIFUL.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?
SO AS MENTIONED WE ALSO HAVE
A LINE OF PRIMERS, FACE AND EYE.
THEY ARE CALLED THANK ME LATER.
YOU PUT IT ON IN THE MORNING AND
SO YOU WON'T BE IN TROUBLE LATER
ON.
YOU CAN THANK ME LATER.
THE FACE PRIMER, IT WILL TAKE
CARE OF THE OILY BITS.
IT WON'T MAKE YOU LOOK SWEATY OR
GREASY.
THE PRIMER IS SO IT CAN HELP
YOUR EYE SHADOW STAY IN PLACE
ALL DAY LONG.
A LOT WHEN THE MY CUSTOMERS
EXPLAINED EVEN THROUGHOUT THE
RAIN, THEIR EYE SHADOW IS
IMPECCABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
THAT'S IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY
HERE IN HAWAI'I WHERE YOU GET
HOT AND SWEATY AND HUMID.
EXACTLY.
YOU HAVE SOME OTHER PRODUCTS
HERE.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
WE HAVE A COLOR CO COSMETICS
LINE.
WE HAVE AN ASSORTMENT OF
BLUSHES, SINGLE EYE SHADOWS.
OUR MASCARA DOES SO WELL THAT WE
CREATED A SECOND ONE.
WE HAVE IT'S SO BIG AND THE
SISTER IS, IT'S SO LONG.
SO ONE IS VOLUMEIZING.
THIS ONE IS OBVIOUSLY A
LENGTHENING MASCARA.
WE HAVE LIP AND CHEEK STAINS,
EYE SHADOW PALATES,
HIGHLIGHTERS, BRONZERS, SO MANY
FUN PRODUCTS.
EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD
NEED.
I HAVE TO ASK WHERE DOES THE
NAME ELIZABETH MOTT COME FROM?
THIS IS A FUNNY STORY.
AS I MENTIONED IN 2010 I WAS
LIVING IN NEW YORK, MY HUSBAND
AND I, MY HUSBAND BEING LOCAL
HERE, WE WERE IN NEW YORK AND WE
STARTED THIS COMPANY AND WE'RE
VERY ENTREPRENEURIAL AND
ELIZABETH STREET IS TWO STREETS
OFF OF SOHO, ELIZABETH STREET
AND MOTT STREET AND THE NAME
STRUCK.
IT'S A VERY INTERESTING PART OF
THE HISTORY AND THE BRAND
IDENTITY AT THIS POINT.
PRESIDENT REAGAN, ELIZABETH
MOTT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.
WE CAN'T GO WITHOUT TELLING
PEOPLE WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEIR
PRODUCTS.
YOU CAN FIND US AT
ELIZABETHMOTT.COM.
YOU CAN ALSO FIND US ON AMAZON
WHERE WE HAVE MANY MANY HIGH
RANKS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS FOR OUR
MASCARA AND EYE PRODUCTS.
YOU CAN ALSO FIND US AT IN MY
CLOSET AT KAHALA AND PEARLRIDGE.
PERFECT.
ALICE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IT'SFUL TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
ALL OF THESE GREAT PRODUCTS
RIGHT HERE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO
GO TO KOREA FOR YOUR COSMETICS.
YES.
AND I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT IT'S
50% OFF FOR THE KHON LISTENERS.
GOOD TO KNOW.
I'M SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED
THAT.
SO WHEN YOU ORDER JUST PUT IN
KHON.
YES, THERE'S A CODE AND IF
YOU PUT THAT IN, THEN IT WILL BE
50% OFF.
OKAY.
THAT IS HUGE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
YES, DEFINITELY.

HINT HINT.
