A Lip Gloss Bar on the North Shore, Styled for Your Event

Our lip gloss bar North Shore hosts book is a styled, fully hosted Lip Lab for homes, clubs and venues from Evanston to Lake Forest. Every guest designs a shade, fills her own tube, and leaves with a gloss nobody else has.

Every formula is made in-house by founder Cheryl Gleason, a trained cosmetic formulator and perfumer, so we can tell you exactly what is in every tube.

Why Hosts Book Our Lip Gloss Bar on the North Shore

North Shore events tend to be polished: a bridal shower at a country club, a mitzvah luncheon, a birthday in a lakefront home. A lip gloss bar North Shore guests remember matches that with a styled table, a host who guides each guest, and personalized signage available as an add-on.

Our team arrives one hour early to set up and cleans up after. For a club or venue, ask it to confirm outside vendors are welcome before you book.

A Bat Mitzvah Lip Gloss Bar Guests Rotate Through

A bat mitzvah lip gloss bar is one of our favorite North Shore setups. Guests drift over between dances or courses, make a gloss in a few minutes, and take it home as the party favor.

It works just as well for Sweet 16s and eighth grade graduations. See more ideas on our North Shore teen party page.

A Lip Gloss Party Highland Park, Wilmette or Evanston Hosts Plan

We set up all along the lake. A lip gloss party Highland Park hosts plan for a backyard birthday runs the same way as a lip gloss party Wilmette families plan for a bridal shower. We also come to Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Glenview and Deerfield.

Closer to the city, a lip gloss bar Evanston hosts book for a book club or graduation party fits right on a dining table. For a city party, see our Lip Gloss Bar Lincoln Park page.
