Make-up is to Enhance Your Natural Beauty
Make-up is to enhance your natural beauty; it should never be harmful to you, your skin, nor your mental health. Latrice Love, owner of makeup brand Liplove (based in Dallas, Texas), believes that self-growth should feel and look good. With its non-toxic ingredients, this vegan makeup brand is encouraging glow-ups for women everywhere. Latrice is able to create the life she loves by holding herself accountable; being able to check your thoughts and decide what’s holding you back is a major key! For self-love, Latrice emphasizes that it’s all about acceptance. By accepting, you are consciously making the decision to thrive through the growing pains and continue to put in work towards your best life. The glow-up is coming, and it’s going to be flourishing. We are in awe of your beautiful ways, Latrice. We’d love for you to meet Latrice, Queen of Healthy Glow-Ups!
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: After learning about all the toxins that go into beauty products, and the impact of those ingredients on women's health, I knew I had to take action and launch Liplove, a vegan, cruelty-free multi-purpose makeup brand.
At the time, as someone who worked as an executive and loved wearing makeup everyday, I was appalled at some of the things I found out about the unregulated nature of the beauty industry. There are known toxins in products that have been linked to reproductive health, cancer, hormone disruption - and the list goes on! And not to mention the impact that those ingredients have on our skin. From those discoveries, and not being able to find vegan, cruelty-free options that fit my lifestyle, Liplove was born.
When customers send messages letting me know how Liplove has helped their skin, or relieved chronically dry lips, or how they feel so good about themselves when wearing Liplove, it motivates me to keep going!
How do you create the life you want?: I create the life I want by keeping it real with myself!
Checking thoughts, habits and behaviors that do not line up with who I am, operating in a standard of excellence in everything I do, and giving myself grace, and learning to rest before I get to a point of burnout are all ways that I keep it real with myself and who I was created to be.
What makes you HUMAN?: I am flawed, sometimes too hard on myself, and I have a tendency to be impatient. But in those flaws and imperfections, my acceptance of me has been birthed on this journey, in full understanding that the very things that make me human give me a beautiful testimony to encourage and uplift others.
What’s three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Self love starts within.
Self love is acceptance of self, as well as a commitment and conscious choice to rise, grow and thrive.
Self love is not an absence of accountability. Loving yourself means coming face to face with yourself and doing the work to evolve into who you're becoming.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Become more mindful of your thoughts, as thoughts are the cornerstone to our actions, circumstances, triggers, attitude, and everything in between.
