Komenuka Bijin

Komenuka Bijin is the most incredible skin and hair care line. I have been carrying it for almost 10 years, and to this day it remains my absolute favorite. Each product is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. They have been in countless magazines over the years, and keep coming out with new products to impress!

In Japanese, Komen Nuka Bi Jin means 'rice bran beautiful person.' In 1987, it was accidentally discovered that the factory workers in a sake factory had beautifully soft and supple hands. Research showed that the rice hulls they regularly handled have wonderful cleansing and moisturizing properties. A once-discarded element became a valued resource, and this biodegradable solution has new life as a healthy base for skincare products.

These go-anywhere packets contain grains that gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin. With three applications in every packet, they're great for travel and at the gym. $36.

I also HIGHLY recommend the shampoo and conditioner. I have never seen people get so excited about a product before. I have multiple customers that order 2-3 at a time, to always be on the safe side! We have samples in the store of the cleanser and the shampoo and conditioner. Just ask!

Lulu Beauty


Some of you may know that in addition to the boutique business I also have a perfume and cosmetics line called Lulu Beauty. The perfume is my first and biggest passion. I started mixing my own perfumes about 22 years ago, and opened my first store Aromatica in Fremont when I was 24. Aromatica was an aromatherapy and perfume blending bar, as well as candles, accessories and other fun goodies. Oh I loved that store!
My current perfume line consists of 4 fragrances that come in a roll on, or an Eau de Parfum. I am so fortunate to have had the line featured in so many fantastic publications...Lucky, Glamour, Marie Claire, Allure, Brides, Star and many others. I've also had an incredible celebrity response to the line. Madonna loved it and ordered 250 of them for the VIP gift bags at a soiree she gave. Teri Hatcher, Tori Spelling, Jennifer Love Hewitt have also purchased the perfumes!
I have taken a slight break from the line as I have been opening Show Pony, but Lulu Beauty is back! At this time we are offering the line in the store, or you can purchase Lulu Beauty in our new Etsy shop.

I am also hard at work right now on 2 new fragrances. Stay tuned...
