Amber LeVonne: The Businesswoman Behind Hollywood Pin-Ups and Original Bombshell

Posted by Leeann at 5:25 pm

Running Hollywood Pin-Ups and Original Bombshell, two emerging companies that are equally successful in their own right, Amber LeVonne can easily be characterized as a thriving entrepreneur. She has taken her interests and brought them to the public, while creating an ever-growing buzz among everyday consumers and celebrities alike.

If being a self-starting businesswoman sounds appealing to you, follow LeVonne’s advice, “Have faith in your God-given talent and don’t ever give up. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”

Always happy to support people and products that we believe in, Beauty Chat is proud to introduce you to LeVonne’s endeavors:

After being asked to use her rhinestone-applying abilities at a 2002 Academy Awards event, she decided to go into business for herself. Then, Hollywood Pin-Ups was born. Adorning items such as clutches, hair brushes, lip gloss tubes, and much more with Swarovski crystals, her work represents a refined, sophisticated beauty.

Paris Hilton

LeVonne personally designs the pieces herself, developing creations and/or fulfilling the requests made by customers such as Ashlee Simpson and Eva Longoria. The Hello Kitty clutch pictured with Paris Hilton above was even featured on VH1. LeVonne dished about Hilton, “Paris is a very polite and a sweet customer, and has a lot of my designs.”

With the support of various A-listers, you can expect to see much more of Hollywood Pin-Ups around Tinseltown.

And if that weren’t enough to be proud of herself for, LeVonne also heads Original Bombshell, a line of cosmetics that was purchased for her back in August 2007 as an anniversary present from her husband.

Since taking control of the brand, she has ran with it, creating face and body sprays, moisturizers, and lip glosses, all of which come packaged in cute little retro wrapping (think surfer girl circa 1950s).

A few of the many products that you might want to pamper yourself with include “Puttin’ on the Spritz!,” an SPF 15 oil-free hydrating mist, “Ooh…Baby!” cranberry soufflé body cream, and “Luscious Lip Shine…Kiss This!” in the “Cat’s Meow,” which is peppermint flavored. And you may be pleased to know that all of the Original Bombshell products are not animal tested.

Like Hollywood Pin-Ups, this company has its starlette supporters as well. “We have a lot of celebrity bombshells, from Jessica Simpson, Katherine McPhee, and Cameron Diaz, to Carmen Electra,” LeVonne explains.

    Hey Leeann, great article. Amber seems like a savvy business woman.I would really like to get her body lotion, and it has SPF 15 too! Their Bombshell tank tops are really cute as well.

    Oh, Bombshell is just so cute. Everthing looks just so incredibly precious.

    I’m an Original Bombshell because boys at the beach, flex their muscles at me, while belting out Beach Boys tunes.
