What They DON'T Tell You About Starting a Beauty Brand

[@kaylacecilia2530]

The test is a part of the journey !! Imagine starting a small business and making your own products from scratch at home 😅 literally the smallest things will go wrong and no one will understand unless their in your position. Just keep pushing 👏🏽

[@cmack92]

Be proud of yourself Julissa! You took a major step that most are afraid to take. Youre a whole vibe!

[@brandychivers3272]

That's so awesome 💝👑👍🎉

[@SherG2774]

Hey Julissa, glad you found a solution.x Kim Kardashian had to change the whole name of her products from Kimono to Skims!!! She changed the labels too and now her business is flying 🥳 Sometimes it’s good to pause, reflect and then start planning ahead.x Congratulations for creating your brand and product from scratch, the only way is up from here, can’t wait to try it here in the UK 🇬🇧🙏🏽💐🎉

[@smilieempowerment2266]

Thank you for being so transparent with us. As a fellow Latina I feel you. I'm from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and my husband is from Republica Dominicana🇩🇴 Your message of not giving up is just what I needed in my journey as Empowerment Coach and Inspirational Speaker and working on a few projects I'm passionate about. Especially my Brand Smilie Empowerment. It's scary but all worth it. I can't wait to ordered your baby, Republica Skin!! I hope I get the box with the label that means I'm part of your beginnings. It's okay to embrace mistakes and learn from them. Your process remind us that we can make mistakes and be successful. Gracias Chica! God bless you in your journey! Cheers to you the best is yet to come for you and all of us. We never will give up!🎯💯 💫💗😘

Awww I wanted to go in the screen and give you such a big hug🤗Just know that was nothing but the enemy trying to steal your joy but God has you no matter what. You are AMAZING 🙌🏾 I was the same way when I started my vegan cookie business...so many things in the details were not on point at times but like you said "What doesn't kill you, makes your brand stronger 💪🏾😉" I know your business will continue to expand and grow and be so successful. I am purchasing mine when I get paid next week. I only used body scrubs on occasion in the past but I definitely will use yours daily. I am SOOOO EXCITED 😁🙌🏾 I can't wait for your face products to come out next🙏🏾 xoxo😊😘

[@LG777.mother]

🤍 So sweet Julissa!! And yes girl dry cold weather is not our friend! My kids have eczema, I do too. I was literally thinking that when you said you meant to launch before summer. Lol Life really will push you to make lemonade! And looks like we are sweetening our lemonade with some sugar cane scrubs! Love this! Makes me think of Friends episode when the crew was hiding in Monica’s room and they had some organic… wax was it? Lol But all that to say ALL GOOD VIBES! 🤍🤍🤍 Down to that bamboo scoop! LOVE! IT! ALL!

[@Trulymerami]
