Updated The Burlington business magnate who built a hugely successful cosmetics business from scratch nearly two decades ago is having to hit reset, after being defrauded – allegedly by a senior employee.

Ask Cosmetics is known across North America and around the world, thanks to the hard work of its founder, Karen Orlowski.
And while the business is doing well, Orlowski found herself completely unprepared for the personal toll that was sparked by an intense police investigation. Scot Urquhart has the personal story behind a cold, criminal act.
