Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Stevens
Hi Ashley, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hello my name is Ashley and I’m a 2x business owner of The Lavish LipGlaze & Makeup By AshleyK!
I began my business journey during the peak of the pandemic. With so much extra time on my hands i decided to take a leap of faith and turn my hobbies into businesses. I had previously graduated from a makeup artistry academy so I full knowledge of makeup and skincare. I took the knowledge that I had and created The Lavish LipGlaze which is a skin and haircare line of handcrafted products by me that focus on healing troubled skin with natural ingredients. We’re also devoted to making skincare inclusive so that no skin type is ever left out. Aside from being certified in skincare formulation I’m also a Certified Makeup Artist in Connecticut who specializes in Everyday & Bridal makeup artistry. I hope to eventually expand my skincare line & get them into local & eventually bigger stores.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely has not been a smooth road having your own businesses. Running two businesses as a single mom has been rough at times but I always make time for what’s most important to me & that’s my daughter. I’ve also realized every day isn’t going to be a day where I get a lot of sales, some days I don’t get any. Regardless I still choose to carry on and push through with my passions and what I love to do.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Lavish LipGlaze . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
