dream job
What are your next plans?
We have amazing plans to grow our brand. We
will start off by launching new products that are
staples. The items that women have to have and
they have to continue to come back for more. Eventually we will grow our color line by creating fun and
unique products. We have plans to expand the line
into a full cosmetic line as well as bath and body.
What are the best part and the worst parts in
your job?
I can’t say there is a best and the worst part about
my job. I love my job and the people I work with.
I’m lucky to be able to work for myself and create
products that I love. It’s so exciting when someone
tells you they use your products and love them, it
inspires me to create new products that I hope they
will love as well!
What advice do you have for other women who
dream of having their own cosmetic company?
Have a plan and a clear vision and stick to it. There
will be people telling you that you can’t do it or
it’s too hard, but don’t listen to them. Staying true
to your idea, working hard and doing everything
yourself at the beginning are the best ways to learn
your business inside and out!
What is your all-time bestseller? What is your
favorite product?
Our all-time best seller is our Bubble Gum Flavored
Lip Gloss. The color is great, the taste is great, it’s
funny because I initially had a different pink shade
that we almost launched and then in the final hours
I changed the shade to a lighter one. I’m glad I did
it as it has proven to be our best and most coveted
shade! I have several favorites from our Flavored Lip
Shine glosses to our slider tin glosses and all in one
beauty kits. I love our Sun Kissed Shimmering Face
Pearl. It’s such a beautiful shade and can be worn
in so many different ways. I also love our flavored lip
glosses in the slider tin as it brings back the
memory of my very first lip gloss that came in a similar
slider tin and I reminisce every time I apply.

Do you buy make up from your competitors, or
only use your own products?
Of course I use competitors’ products but mostly for
products we don’t have in our line, like concealers
and foundations. I never cheat and use other lip
products. Before, I used to have really chapped lips
but our glosses are so tasty and moisturzing. It is the
only thing I can use that prevents and keeps my lips
from chapping.
