Beauty Bazaar began as a small but passionate side project by Art and Adele, a husband-and-wife duo from New Jersey who believed everyone deserved access to quality beauty products at affordable prices. With folding tables, boxes of makeup, and a shared knack for connecting with people, they brought their carefully curated selection to large businesses and office building lobbies. Sometimes, their daughter Lori would tag along, watching her parents work side by side—never knowing just how far this little idea would grow. Eventually, Art and Adele made the move to Florida, and the family business followed. Adele’s twin sister Florence and her husband Stu joined in, and Beauty Bazaar found a home in the Big Apple Shopping Bazaar. With the help of their longtime friend Michael—who was instrumental in connecting them with trusted distributors—they transformed a single booth into a beauty destination. Over 25 years, that one booth grew to five, packed with private-label products, brand-name favorites, and discount treasures.

More than just a place to shop, Beauty Bazaar became a community.

The “girls”—lovely, knowledgeable women who had once worked as models or beauty counter pros—became the heart of the business. Beauty bazaar became a place where generations connected—where grandmothers introduced their granddaughters to something special they’d grown to love themselves. Clients came for the deals but stayed for the warm advice, expert guidance and familiar faces.
