Big Girl Cosmetics Opens Makeup Bar & Spa

CHICAGO - (January 19, 2010) -  Big Girl Cosmetics opened its doors to their flagship store, Big Girl Makeup Bar & Spa in the historic Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park.  This ultra luxe "Big Girl" style makeup boutique features the full Big Girl Cosmetics line with makeup services, parties and lessons.  This Big Girl space also features a boutique spa with decadent Mani Pedi combinations, facials, waxing, lashes and Big Girl inspired spa parties.  

Five years ago Big Girl Cosmetics' founder, Kiley Russell, sat in the audience of a legendary taping of the Oprah Show where Oprah gifted her audience a Pontiac G6. The gift took the nation by storm, but Russell had a larger plan for her blessed gift. Looking for a way to live her life differently and spend more time with her family, then Assistant Principal of a Middle School, Russell sold the car and used the profit to start the beauty empire, Big Girl Cosmetics. "This has been a dream of mine for a long time, I am happy I was able to turn a special gift from Oprah into something of valor, beauty and empowerment. Oprah is my angel and was the inspiration I needed to start this business and share my vision with Chicago" says owner and creative director Kiley Russell.
