Being the owner of Fairy Godmother with almost 10 years of experience working for the largest best cosmetic company in the world Estee Lauder, I jumped for the chance to help Smith and McCain launch their first fragrance. Working with them has brought back so many wonderful memories. I have never in my life worked so hard but had so much fun. Estee Lauder taught me so much, here are just a few things I remember.
1) Know your numbers inside and out.
2) Treat people with kindness “the power of the human touch”
3) Listen well
4) Enjoy people, get to know them, learn about them

Estée Lauder founded the Estée Lauder company in 1946 armed with four products and an unshakeable belief: that every woman can be beautiful. Today, more than 60 years later, that simple notion has literally changed the face of the beauty business.
