"Carol developed Black Honey as the 'black turtleneck' that every woman should have in her lipstick wardrobe," adds Miselnicky, who has been with ELC since 1994. "It just enhanced everyone's lip tone and made them look different and better... Yes, Black Honey launched in a collection of shades, and the other shades were not as memorable.

"What is unfolding inside the FDA is not a narrow dispute over covid vaccines. It is an attempt, according to critics and vaccine scientists, to rewrite the rules governing the entire U.S. vaccine system — how risks are weighed, how benefits are proved, and how quickly lifesaving shots reach the public.
