A FAB FAV: Purrrr… Honeycat Cosmetics!

This we all know: Beauty (with a capital B) doesn’t begin with make-up application or even stepping into a fly outfit. Of course it’s within, but it’s also that which God gave you and how you take care of it.  You only get one body! So as a precursor to our upcoming show, we’re spotlighting many of our fab, favorite things! Splashing us with a Hot Flash is beautification bottled by the one and only Honey Cat Cosmetics - a Martini Pink certified haute bath, body & cosmetics product line with amazing scents, lotions, soaps, creams, candles and more, all wrapped up in the most divine pink packaging! We love it!

We had the wonderful opportunity of catching up with Honeycat proprietor - the fun and fantastic Ms. Terry who started her bath and body care business by mixing up sweet concoctions in her home and then trying out these sensually smelling concoctions on her fiance (whom after one too many times decided he could no longer smell like a sexy woman). Terry was forced to find a new guinea pig and began doling out samples to friends and family members. Before long she was taking full fledged orders.

Having left a career in medicine to pursue her entrepreneurial ventures was trying at first, Terry admits, “Whenever you leave your comfort  zone it can be scary.” But that did not stop this kitty from learning her way around proper mixtures, the right ratios, and consistencies. Here she tells us more about Honeycat!

MP: Explain the kitty cat theme.

Terry: I love cats. They are so mysterious and sneaky. There is a long history between women and cats which dates back to ancient Egypt where it was believed that cats had a virus that would infect their female masters, making them sexy, desirable and irresistible. (No wonder Cleopatra had so many cats running around the palace). We created Honeycat to appeal to that inner catwoman lurking inside all us gals!

MP: There is definitely an element of sexy and sensuality to your product. Why did you not shy away from that?

Terry: There is a distinct difference between sexy and slutty. I think that sexy is attractive, pretty, something to be embraced.

MP: Why is it important for women to indulge in beauty products?

Terry: It makes us feel good. No matter how successful we are and how much we have to play the “good ole boys club” games, at the end of the day, most of us are still that little girl who likes to play dress-up. When we pamper ourselves, it’s like we can kind of get back to that special little girl that we use to be.

MP: Tell us about some of the new products you have coming out and when they’ll be available?

Terry: Over here at the Honeycat lair, we are always working on something new: ”Kitty Caviar” which is a strawberry champagne shower caviar (looks just like a jar of caviar), “Cat Got Your Tub” pomegranate cassis bath powder and “You Gotta Be Kitten Me” shower gel. These will all be out by end of July. We are also developing a few new lip glosses and eyeshadow trios.

Honeycat Cosmetics is available all over the United States as well as in Borders Stores and online at HoneyCat. We highly recommend the Calypso Kitty Pineapple Scrub , the Whisker Slickers “I’m in Heat: Lip Balm (which got us through the entire winter), and the delectable Sweet Potato Pie Grooming Day Bubble Stuff.
