Welcome to Beauty Cafe – Where Indie Beauty Thrives
Since 1997, Beauty Cafe has been curating the finest in bath, body, beauty, and fragrance.
Yes, you read that right—we were among the first to bring beauty and fragrance online, back when a future fragrance thought selling fragrances on the internet was "insane." Thank goodness, she and others had the forsight to take a leap of faith in my vision.
Fueled by a passion for fragrance and a desire to balance work and motherhood, I started Beauty Cafe to connect customers with products I truly love.
Over the years, we’ve had the honor of launching and supporting now-iconic brands like Creed, Bond No. 9, Burt’s Bees, Comptoir Sud Pacifique, and L'Artisan Parfumeur. We introduced the US to gourmand and niche-based fragrances!
For several years, my focus has been on Keromask Camouflage Cream, a line that I've been importing from the UK for almost 25 years... now, I’m returning to my roots: curating unique, high-quality products from small indie brands. These are the hidden gems of the beauty and fragrance world—crafted with care and bursting with stories waiting to be told.
At Beauty Cafe, we believe in authenticity. If we don’t love it, we don’t sell it. Every product is handpicked with the same passion that started this journey all those years ago.
Thank you for being part of this incredible story. Together, we’re celebrating the artistry of beauty, one discovery at a time.
With love and gratitude,
Lisa
Almost 30 Years Later . . .
8 years ago a friend asked me to create an ecommerce website for their business and as a result, Hippie Chick Design was born. I found that I was fueled by their passion, taking me back to my roots when I started. While I had plenty of champions, I had to learn so much about the technical side and I wish I had someone like me back then. Instead, I quite often learned by trial by fire.
Today, I am a Certified Shopify Expert, and have collaborated with hundreds of Shopify clients.
I am fortunate to collaborate and mentor some pretty amazing and inspiring entrepreneurs.
It's my way of giving back and saying thank you to those who believed in me when I first started.
In return, I have been inspired to return to my roots with
Beauty Cafe and share a curated collection of a few of my favorite things.
Love, laughter and friendship,
Lisa
