Testimonial:
"My name is Elizabeth and I am a Mexican woman. I've always have a
really hard time finding the perfect red lipstick, they're usually too
pink but sometimes they're a little orange. And I'm also an in between
in foundations, because I'm light but not really light its hard to
find the right foundation and powder. I am currently on a mission to
find a light, natural looking lipstick which isn't too pink or bright.
As a Latina woman, I have extreme difficulty finding the right colors
for my complexion. Thank you so much for starting this makeup line. I
wish you the best of luck! Sincerely,

Sascha Cosmetics
"Hi, I?m Wendy Fitzwilliam, Official Spokesperson for Sacha
Cosmetics, the brand I wore when I was crowned Miss Universe 1998.
Sacha is a makeup artist?s dream. Our makeup colors are out of this
world and our yellow-based foundations match today?s diverse skin
tones more perfectly than any other brand. It is the first brand of
cosmetics to so perfectly match such a wide variety of complexions.
Sacha was the Official Cosmetics of the 1999 Miss Universe Pageant and
the 2000 and 2001Miss USA Pageant.
From my experience, most Caucasian and all Asian, Latin and African
women have yellow-based skin. To get that sophisticated, natural look,
we must wear a foundation with a yellow base.
Yellow Based Foundations
This is why Sacha is so perfect for me. Our foundations are
yellow-based and leave my skin flawless and natural-looking."

Bonita Cosmetics
"In the vast and colorful world of cosmetics, Rosemary Garcia saw a
void: a cosmetic line for Latina women and women of color.
Garcia had all the appropriate experience. She had worked at Nordstrom
for six years as an executive manager, and for four years as a
representative for a cosmetics company, where she sold to Macy's,
among other department stores. She felt confident she could enter the
cosmetic arena and fill that void with her own beauty line.
Naming the line "Bonita," which means "pretty" in Spanish, Garcia
started her company on the Internet in 2000. During her first year,
she conducted marketing research via the web, tracking orders and
having customers sign up for monthly newsletters. "I signed up more
than 50,000 people in three months," she says. "I know exactly who my
customers are, where they are living and where they are shopping."
Bonita cosmetics founder Rosemary Garcia has created her first vendor
shop at Macy's Herald Square.
(..)
Bonita's presence has grown to 20 Macy's stores since Garcia
introduced it 21/2 years ago. "It's been such a tremendous response
from women who say, 'This is exactly what I've been looking for.
Finally, something for us Latina women. About time!' " says Garcia."

Catalina
"Tired of the portrayal of Hispanic women by media and entertainment
(seen mostly as "maids" in Manhattan, spicy sex objects, etc.), Latina
print journalist Cathy Areu wanted to show another side of this
diverse and exciting group. In 2001, she founded CATALINA to portray
Hispanic woman as they are. Today's Latina is a smart, strong,
sophisticated, savvy mother, wife, daughter, and sister.
CATALINA is a bimonthly English-language, national lifestyle magazine
targeting these Hispanic American women, ages 24 and older. CATALINA
tells the stories of Hispanic women like no other publication can, or
will. It's more than a magazine. It's much more."

"Caraballo-Pérez became part of a group of organizations and women
with a very simple plan of action. They want people to send them their
old cell phones.
"We are collecting them. These phones will be programmed by Verizon,
no matter what type of phone it is, to call 911," and the phones will
be given to abused women, Caraballo-Pérez said.
With thousands of women at risk who cannot find assistance or do not
know where to look for it, a cell phone to call for help could be a
godsend.
"Domestic violence is an issue very close to my heart," said Nancy
Santiago-Negrón, an officer of the Philadelphia School District and
one of the main organizers of the cell phone effort. "My mother was a
victim of domestic abuse, and as a child I could do nothing to help
her."
(..)
The cell phone plan is designed for Latinas, but they are not the only
ones at risk."

Well I gave it another go, and I did find more information including
this reference to Calvin Klein's interest in launching a new fragrance
targeted at Latinas:
"Calvin Klein ? Unilever Personal Products Group USA http://www.unilever.com
Study Design ? Market Reader Pro? assisted Calvin Klein by providing
time critical market research. We conducted a study using an online
survey to reach a nationally representative sample of young women
between the ages of 14 to 29. The first task at hand was to classify
(quantify) the responses that those in this age group had to a newly
released advertisement that was targeted at them. Among this age
group. Secondly, the study clarified the responses of this demographic
group to several potential Actor/Actress - models that Calvin Klein
was considering for a new fragrance launch targeted at the American
Latina marketplace.
The study was of interest as it contains an elaborate randomization
system. The order in which participants viewed the images of the
different models was highly specialized.

elegant Lucy Pereda collection.
Latinos make up nearly 20 percent of Sears customers, and the new line
was created with the dramatic flair of Latinas in mind, says Sandra
Diaz, Sears' director of multicultural marketing.

"Hispanic women watch slightly more television than men, according to
Focus: Latino, a new research report by Horowitz Associates. Hispanic
women also choose what brands to buy, what clothes to wear and what
cable channels to watch, says Barbara Ruano, founder of Crossover
Interactive & Advertising.
Gems TV, a cable network owned by mainstream Spanish-broadcaster
Telemundo Communications, relaunched as Mun2 (pronounced moon-dos)
last week to target younger Hispanics. Featuring new programs such as
Enamorarte and New Wave, Mun2 has reconfigured the traditional
fantasy-laden telenovela (soap opera) to suit the more realistic
tastes of young Hispanic women, says spokeswoman Claudia Santa Cruz.
Galavisión, a bilingual cable network owned by Hispanic broadcaster
Univision, also plans create programming aimed at the ?New Latina.?
The network plans to air an hourlong talk/lifestyle show, tentatively
called Cuatro Marias and Mary, in the second quarter of next year,
says Lucia Ballas-Traynor, Galavisión's general manager. Since the
cable channel already has access to some of Univison's prime-time
telenovelas, it wants to find alternative shows that meet the needs of
Latinas between the ages of 12 and 34.
Other emerging networks are also looking to provide new programming
that will draw young Hispanic women.
VidaVision, which launched in the U.S. on aggregator OlympuSAT's
Hispanic Pack in May, airs a traditional telenovela called
Inolvidable, which uses an interactive component to try to target the
market, says Tom Spyker, president of VidaVision. Women can log on to
VidaVision's website and comment on the show or answer questions on
what they think will happen. (..)
Hispanic Television Network also wants to fill the informational
programming void for U.S. Latinas, says Luis Estrada, SVP of
programming and program acquisition for HTVN.
Estrada may buy a show called Cocinando con Las Estrellas, or Cooking
With the Stars, which follows a Mexican chef in Los Angeles who makes
Latino celebrities' favorite dishes.
While telenovelas have been the traditional female-based lure for many
Hispanic moms, they don't carry as much weight in a mixed-culture,
multilingual family in the U.S., Estrada says. ?They like the soap
opera thing, but we want to bring it into the 21st century. We are
looking for the next wave of entertainment.?
USA Networks targets a slightly older Latina, from ages 25 to 45, with
Home Shopping Espanol. The channel, which launched last year, debuts
new products such as lines of jewelry related to specific Latino
cultures."
