YOYO Lip Gloss Commercial - Y - to - the - O, Y - to - the - O, that's the way we spell YOYO!

2009-12-21T21:33:00.000-08:00

The final cut to the YOYO Lip Gloss Commercial is complete! Special thanks to our cast and crew for an incredible production. Whats all the ranting and raving about? YOYO Lip Gloss is a retractable lip gloss that clips on for easy access; pull the cord and it extends 2 1/2 feet long, apply that delicious sparkle gloss and then back YOYO goes! Girls everywhere have been living by its motto to "clip it, twist it, squeeze it, wear it all day long and never lose their lip gloss again!"

Composing this commercial has been an amazing journey. What started out as a mere concept was brought to life. All this would not have been possible without key people. Special thanks to my dear friend Christine Malfitano who initiated this brilliant idea, Mark from Expendable Plus & Brooklyn Studios for hosting our casting call and for putting me in contact with an amazing Director of Photography, Ski Piotr Jagninski. Dear Ski, thank you for the crash course in film production and also for putting together the most amazing team of grips, gaffers and camera crew.

The day of the commercial shoot was magical and lead by the best AD a gal could ever ask for! Dear Paul, thanks for putting up with my insane request to film over 30 scenes in just 2 days! But we did it, and did it well!

The days would not have run so smooth without key people including my wonderful mother making Greek pick me up coffees in the middle of the day, Jessica my PA who was at my beckon call and loved it, Lady Life who sang Y to the O Y to the O over and over again on set to compensate for our broken ipod, SeanD'Alesio who filled in the gap for every missing hand on the set, and of course James Arbona, the only producer who would run to Home Depot to personally make a dolly at 2 am the night before the shoot!

The YOYO Commercial had the best choreographers around! Special thanks to Lori & Life for training these girls like they were your own children.

Our hair and makeup girls were absolutely superb! Special thanks to Martina, Dawn Marie, and Maria for making everyone look totally outta control!

A big YOYO goes out to Amy Schlossberg for the blood, sweat and tears devoted to making some fresh YOYO outfits! Many shout outs to Pastry, Puma, Apple Bottom and All Star for providing super cool gear for our YOYO Girls to wear. But what good are clothes without a person to dress them? That glory all goes to the YOYO Stylist Mama Jen Barrett and her assistant Melanie Causon who brought all the characters to life.

Special thanks to Angel for making the hottest YOYO beat, rough cut editor Doug for putting it all together and special, special thanks to the most wonderful after effects editor Dave Nicholson! Dear Dave, you truly poured your heart and soul into the YOYO commercial and for that I will be forever thankful! You made this spot more incredible then what I envisioned it to be.

The most important members of the commercial shoot were by far the cast who did an unbelievable job of rockn' their YOYO Lip Glosses. Special thanks to cast and families!

Several YOYO commercials will be released; we filmed for two long days! More incredible YOYO Spots to come. Stay tuned to our web site www.yoyolipgloss.com for details.

God Bless

YOYO Lip Gloss CEO to Speak at the Open Innovation Summit in Miami

2009-10-28T13:00:00.000-07:00

Hey chicas!! I am about to go to an incredible conference and I am soooo excited to tell you about it!! I’m getting geared up for the Open Innovation Summit. This is the mecca for people who want the simple idea that they have created into a business to just… explode! It’s going to be December 2-4, 2009 in Orlando, FL.

What is it about? Presenters take you beyond the “Why” to the “How” in giving strategy on how to develop a successful business with your innovation. Why come? Well I’ll just mention Proctor and Gamble who will be speaking on how to brand yourself, Mozilla on how to use web tools, and Xerox on how to use spin-offs.. just to name a few!! But wait.. I didn’t tell you the best part… I WAS ASKED TO SPEAK!!! How awesome is that??

They claim and this event truly is the “Who’s Who” of innovation. For Yo Yo Lip Gloss, and as the CEO, I don’t want to miss any opportunity where I can maximize a moment to better who we are as a company. We started as a simple idea but we aren’t staying there. We are growing and maturing into the best we can possibly be. Hearing and learning from the best has always been something I’ve done. And now look? I’m asked to speak. From a simple thought of a lip gloss on a string, my whole nationwide company.. as well as in some other nations .. has been born. It’s limitless where your dreams can take you.

If you have an idea or are running a start up business off of a patented invention or innovation, I encourage you to consider being a part of this awesome conference. For more info, here’s the website: www.worldrg.com/openinnovation. Also if you sign up and type in the code KTP993 you will get an additional $300 off. Hope to see you there!!

Mass' Latest Innovation: Lip Gloss on a String

Mass' Latest Innovation: Lip Gloss on a String

by Faye Brookman

Posted Friday July 31, 2009

From WWD Issue 07/31/2009

NEW YORK — Stockkeeping optimization has resulted in a few inches of footage available in mass market doors, and a young entrepreneur is out to nab some of that real estate.

Just a few years out of business school, 30-year-old Angie Parlionas has created a line called YoYo Lip Gloss. Her story is reminiscent of the legendary Hard Candy founder Dineh Mohajer, who launched a breakthrough beauty line from her home (Recently, Hard Candy was repositioned as a mass line and will enter Wal-Mart stores later this year). She also embodies the spirit of Fun creator Kristin Penta, who tried to court more teens to the mass market.

The reality is today’s marketplace is tougher to crack than in the free-spending Nineties, but Parlionas believes her ideas are unique enough to convince buyers to give her a shot.

Her first item is a lip gloss attached to a clip, and the concept came out of necessity — much like Mohajer and her blue nail color to match her blue sandals. “I was really into sports and could never find my lip gloss in my bag,” said Parlionas over a recent lunch. Having studied successful product launches at St. Johns University, Parlionas decided to put her theory into practice and invented the YoYo Lip Gloss. By affixing a string to a clip, Parlionas invented a gloss users can easily find. “I knew it had to be more than cute and clever, but also a great formula, and I worked with experts on the formulas and flavors,” she said.

YoYo Lip Gloss Minis are available in four flavors — Girly Green Apple, Cha-Cha Chocolate, Big Bounce Bubble Gum and Kissable Kiwi, retailing for $2.99. A larger lip gloss retails for $4.99 and is available in the Minis’ flavors as well as Bodacious Blueberry, Crazy Cotton Candy, Power Packing Pineapple and Super Strawberry Cheesecake.

Realizing retailers need more than one item to justify space, Parlionas has created an entire line set for launch in spring, which includes an SPF lip balm, blush, eye shadow and nail polish. Prices range from $2.99 for a mini lip gloss to about $7 for a nail polish. Each item has a unique property such as a key chain for the balm.

Also, Parlionas knows the power of promotion and is shooting 30-second TV spots set to air on MTV and Nickelodeon using real girls who were culled from a casting call to describe what teens loved about their gloss. The tag line plays off the YoYo idea: “Never at a Loss for Your Gloss.”

YoYo is obviously a young brand, but the target market is older teens. “You can always get younger girls to want to go up, but not the other way around,” Parlionas said.

The lip gloss already has attracted attention in apparel chains such as Rainbow and Joyce Leslie as well as independents in several major markets, and the young founder has her sights set on a major chain. She says she knows the risks and cost of entry associated with mass chains and that won’t deter her from trying to be the next hot item that could perhaps get the teen engine purring again. “Although a lip gloss on a string might sound like a minor breakthrough, so was a blue nail polish and look what that did,” said one buyer.

St John's University Commends YOYO Lip Gloss CEO

2009-04-28T07:59:00.001-07:00

Angie Parlionas, the CEO of YOYO Lip Gloss, was interviewed for a St. John’s article that was recently published. They had a great picture of Angie looking fabulous and did a nice piece on her. So what did they say? They talked about how she got started, the history of YOYO and where we are going as a company and with our product in the future. Angie was just a child when the concept of a permanently attached lip gloss came to her. Look at YOYO now! Though her dream was small and immature then, it is realized now while Angie is just 30 years old!

We all are pretty familiar with the YOYO story. But St. John’s was such a huge part of the inspiration for Angie and why she is where she is today. Angie was a former St. John’s University Peter J. Tobin College of Business MBA student. Professor Larry Boone’s Entrepreneurship class of 2003 stoked the fires of ingenuity and put legs to what was only a little girl’s thought.

So why would St. John’s want to talk to Angie? To inspire the next generation. That dreams can become reality. Their school was such a big part in Angie’s life; which Angie STILL invites Professor Boone to anything that YOYO has going on!! Angie has seen lip gloss become a makeup empire. Part of her heart’s desire is to give back and inspire young girls to follow their hearts. Family, teachers and friends believed in Angie and she knew she could develop and create what YOYO is today. Angie is always about encouraging someone else for tomorrow.

Due to the incredible popularity of both these shows, Pastry is in high demand as well.

Pastry is doing a "Rock the Mall" Tour to really show their product to the public. And guess who was at their Palisades, NY Mall event to pair up the hottest lip gloss with their hot, hip new line? That’s right! YOYO Lip Gloss!! Keri Hilson, Kat Deluna, Sophia Fresh and Tiffany Evans were there with some really awesome performances. And u know that ALL those girls were going crazy over our incredible lip glosses that we have come to know and love… maybe even some of you were there!

Young girls from all over the tri-state area will be participating for a chance to be on TV! Girls who are active soccer players, gymnasts, baseball players and more are excited to be coming down, dressed, and performing their favorite sporting activity and using their YOYO Lip Gloss too. The judges will be selecting 30 finalists to participate in YOYO's first commercial that will air on various networks, including Nickelodeon and MTV.

WHAT: YOYO Lip Gloss casting call “Do You Have What it Takes?”
WHEN: October 18, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Brooklyn Studios located at 211 Meserole Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11222.
WEBSITE: http://www.yoyolipgloss.com/castingcall

YOYO Lip Gloss was conceptualized by entrepreneur Angie Onassis Parlionas in 2003 at the age of 25. She could empathize with females daily searching for their lip gloss that leaves them rummaging endlessly and resulting in nothing. One day she realized she could create something; a retractable lip gloss. This brilliant easy access idea attached to a 3 ½ foot cord that clips to the hip, became the prototype for YOYO Lip Gloss. Angie protected her idea with a U.S. utility patent in March 2008. International patents were also filed and are pending in countries including Europe and Japan.

YOYO Lip Gloss was officially incorporated in 2004. The product was released for a market test In December 2007. Since then, girls everywhere have been living by it's motto to "Clip it, twist it, squeeze it, wear it all day long and never lose your lip gloss again." YOYO has mix and match interchangeable reels and fun characters that are modeled after the U.S. teen demographic populations. Each lip gloss has it's own character, color, flavor, trading card, sporting activity and fun name such as "Rowdy Rowdy Raspberry" and "Raisin Tha Roof Red". The gloss itself is made from a high grade formula that was created by a U.S. chemist who worked for Estee Lauder for over 30 years. It tastes great, is super shiny, has luscious shimmer, a great sparkle and a cooling tingle.

YOYO Lip Gloss is available in hundreds of local shops and chain retail outlets including Rainbow Shops, Joyce Leslie, Paradise Shops, and Rave Girl, in over 20 states across the U.S. Additionally, YOYO Lip Gloss is not limited to just gloss. YOYO is an ever growing empire of quality and practical beauty products with 14 new creations in development. Lip gloss is truly just the beginning... as YOYO Lip Gloss launches in December 2008!

Where is My Lip Gloss?

2008-08-05T07:29:00.002-07:00

It's Saturday afternoon and the mall is packed. I'm picking up some leggings with the hot new mini when all of a sudden, I turn out of the store and there... he ... is!!! Hottest guy ever and he's heading straight towards me!!! I grab my sidekick to text my bestie while checkin my "look" out in a window. Everything is cool. Hair is in place. Makeup is ok. Just a quick touch of gloss and I'm ready for him to make the move. Scrambling in my bag, I fumble through keys, a wallet, some gum wrappers. "Wait", I said, "I know I threw it in here." More rummaging through pens and a tube of something that I'm thinkin, "Yes. There it... noo!! It's just my purse lotion. Where did I put my lip gloss?" Now I'm dropping crumpled tissues, an earring and several remnants of my purse onto the floor. "It's gotta be in here!" And before you know it? Mr. Hottie is a Not-tie as my gloss-less quest has left me focusing on finding this little missing tube and not lost in ice blue eyes with the great smile. Cuz I look up? And he's nowhere to be found. Makes you want to scream, right?

Time after time many girls have found themselves fighting through pocketbooks, book bags, suitcases, and pockets asking "Where is my lip gloss?" Today? The search is over. The answer? YOYO LIP GLOSS!!

YOYO Lip Gloss is my practical, unique and innovative design. Being an equally frustrated, daily lip gloss wearer, I found myself turning into a lip gloss recovery agent! But then suddenly? The light bulb went on. A retractable lip gloss that is there where you need it every single time. No more digging, searching and turning up empty handed. Just clip it onto your favorite hipsters, popped collar, or trendy handbag. The cool, refreshing and tasty flavors with the perfect hint of pink, red, purple, clear and brown hues for any skin type are great for any chick looking for that perfect hands on lip gloss.

Celebrities are excited about YOYO too! And who better to sponsor than Lil Mama; writer and performer of the chart topper "Lip Gloss"!! That's right. Click here to check out her album release party pictures sponsored by YOYO Lip Gloss, the newest, hot commodity.

So I know you're wondering, "How can I get my hands on a YOYO Lip Gloss?" We are excited to announce that YOYO is available right now at your local Rainbow Shops.
