"Tanisi, niya oma Kimowan Kisik Ahenakew. Ahtahkakoop ohci niya. Hello, my name is Kimowan Kisik Ahenakew. I come from the Ahtahkakoop First Nation. I created Fire Kiss Iskotew Ochem Cosmetics.
Fire Kiss Iskotew Ochem Cosmetics is a pigmented lip gloss that shares the Plains Cree Language through beauty products. Iskotew Ichem is how I would say Fire Kiss in the Plains Cree Language. There are three shades to Fire Kiss Iskotew Ochem Cosmetics, a pink box, a white box and a black box. The pink box is titled 'SKWESIS' which translates to youthful young girl. The white box is a more mature color perfect for everyday wear, it is called 'SKWEW which translates to lady in the Plains Cree Language. The black box carries a deep red pigmented shade of lip gloss, it is called MWATS. In the Plains Cree Language the word mwats is slang for a hard no! When you are wearing this shade of lip gloss, and somebody asks if you kissed him yet, you say, "MWATS!"
Fire Kiss Iskotew Ochem is quality make-up, it is hypoallergenic and vegan friendly meaning, it is great for sensitive skin and it is not tested on animals, nor does it contain animal products."
