Cosmetic chemist and "certified nose," Vince Spinnato is the go-to expert in beauty product development, with a career spanning over 25 years in the personal care, cosmetic and fine fragrance industries. Spinnato has formulated and developed hundreds of products for skin and hair care, color cosmetics, bath & body and fine fragrances as well as baby products and pet products...and has experienced the glam, the glitz, and the batshit crazy.
At age 10, Vince Spinnato watched TV soaps with his grandmother and became enamored with the characters on The Young and the Restless who owned a cosmetics firm. He vowed he would follow in their footsteps one day and even chose a name-VS Vincenzo-a brand one of his companies still bears. In his memoir, My Pursuit of Beauty: A Cosmetic Chemist Reveals The Glitz, The Glam and The Batsh*t Crazy, Spinnato shares the inner workings of the multi-billion-dollar beauty industry with entertaining tales about creating beauty products for megastars like Michael Jordan, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, Damone Roberts, and scores more. He also shares some of his life's most bizarre situations. There was the time he survived a tornado in Iowa while being tethered to a bridge, and another when he became stuck inside a resort water slide that involved melted butter and rescue by the fire department. Then there was his terrifying flight post 9/11 that was nearly shot down by fighter pilots. Spinnato dealt with incessant bullying, body dysmorphia, trichotillomania and multiple betrayals on the bumpy road from his grandmother's couch in Vineland, New Jersey, to becoming a serial entrepreneur and expert in the beauty industry
"Dynasty, produced by my dad, Aaron Spelling, sparked the imagination of my friend Vince Spinnato and inspired him to turn his dreams of developing luxury beauty products into a reality. Honest, hilarious, and heartbreaking. I couldn't put the book down." - Tori Spelling, actress, producer and authorVideos
