Getting booted f Shark Tank was not the beginning for The Lip Bar CEO Melissa Butler. Butler started her career as a financial analyst on Wall Street, but soon recognized a need within the beauty industry for lipsticks catered to women color. Her stint on the ABC show came after her all-natural lipstick line was already on the market for a year. Show judges were not easily swayed to back the already pritable business, so Butler walked away without a deal. But that was only motivation for the young entrepreneur. The Lip Bar is now in its fifth year business and worth nearly half a million dollars.
