Cosmetic Enhancements

**Cosmetic Enhancements** (CE) is a fictional major corporation in the Sapphire Foxx Universe that deals mainly with Cosmetic and Beauty products across several mediums most notably those responsible for the body transformations of many SF Characters such as Sili-Gel. The company headquarters are focused in Atlanta Georgia, run by the current CEO Geoff Reynolds. It is currently one of the largest and most advanced cosmetics companies in the SF world.

CE's most popular product seen is the cosmetic gel known as Sili-Gel which is widely used across the world by people to allow them to temporarily enhance their body shapes in different ways by applying it. While this product alone has made the company a massive profit they also deal in other cosmetic based products and continue to experiment to find and make new and improved ones.

## History

While CE is not directly mentioned or referenced its product Sili-Gel is first seen in the Animation Series "Earning those Tips" where a number of people have begun to use it to enhance their figures. Mainly women using it to boost their breast and curve size. However, it is also shown to be able to be used on men to give them a female figure. At first their Sili-Gel product is administered through a syringe and injected into the body but not too long after its initial release CE's cosmetic scientists reintroduce Sili-Gel in a creme form having found a way for the silicon and other materials to be absorbed through the skin through a topically applied gel. This needless variant became widely popular and is now used a great deal across the world making the company a massive profit.

About a year or so after the Launch of Sili-Gel in its creme form the company receives a file for a lawsuit from a Mr. Foster saying that his son Austin had used Sili-Gel to appear as a girl to perform the lead female role in his school's play. However, after prolonged use he retained the swelling and after being examined by a doctor they found he had grown natural tissues in place of what was supposed to be Silicon that would eventually be flushed out of the system. Fascinated by the occurrence the CEO Geoff and his lead researcher and cosmetic scientist Seth invited the Foster Family out to the company's Headquarters to discuss the issue. Geoff and Seth then met with Austin/Aylssa and her parents and after confirming what had happened to him/her they offer to settle the issue out of court but wanted to give them two options on how to do so. Geoff has his legal rep fist make them the offer for the company to cover any and all medical and recovery costs for Alyssa to go through surgery to remove the breast and hip tissues she had grown and allow her to return to being Austin as well as 100K in compensation. While the first offer was good Geoff then explained to Alyssa that he wanted to have the companies' experts study her body through blood work, body scans and such in an effort to find out how her body was able to metabolize the sili-gel into natural tissues in the hopes of developing a Perma-Sili-Gel variant that would have a permanent effect on its users and be a wildly popular cosmetic product that could render cosmetics and plastic surgery obsolete. In place of Alyssa returning to normal through surgery Geoff offered her 50million dollars to stay that way and allow the company to study her body the way it was. Alyssa accepted this offer with little thought and set up a contract with the company detailing the conditions.

Over the course of the next 5 years Alyssa would make regular monthly trips to the CE headquarters from Ohio to Atlanta and go through some noninvasive tests in exchange for high valued checks. As time went on, Geoff saw Alyssa's acting skills and offered her the position to be the main spokesperson of Sili-Gel for the company after she graduated college. At some point the company developed Extra Strength Sili Gel that lasted 72 hours in place of the usual 12. Though never specifically said the extra strength formula was implied to have been developed thanks to the company's initial studies of Alyssa. 5 years after Alyssa's signing on as the test subject, the company had succeeded in creating the Perma-Sili-Gel variant, which allowed the user to maintain 10-20% of the swelling with each use and began to market it with Alyssa as the lead spokesperson for its infomercials and modeling. They have also employed Brooke Chambers as one of their models and possibly her boyfriend Oliver Thompsen as well.
