The story of Karen Murrell begins during the summer of 2008 while a brilliant red display of pohutukawas blossomed at Auckland’s Takapuna beach. It was here that Karen Murrell herself took inspiration, creating the first shade of our premium, natural lipsticks.

Designed to inject colour into your day, the beauty of our products is in both our formula and our shades, all of which are a tribute Mother Nature and her radiant, floral splendor. With our pure, natural formula of avocado and evening primrose oils, candelilla, carnauba wax, cinnamon and sweet orange, when you wear our products your lips are treated with every application and the condition of your lips will improve the longer you wear them. We’ve perfected long-lasting lip colours made from nourishing ingredients and vibrant pigments that are heavenly to wear.

From when she was a young girl, beauty, cosmetics and skincare have long been a passion and an enduring ambition of Karen Murrell’s. Inspired by her Nana Gwen - who was like her second mother - Karen fondly remembers creative afternoons spent curiously exploring her Nana’s elaborate make-up collection.

Karen draws on these memories, as well as nature, her favourite flowers, and travel, to capture new shades, continually formulating breathtaking hues which effortlessly enhance the natural beauty of every woman’s complexion. “I have always had a love of colour cosmetics.
