Shaira: With Mabel’s corporate background in retail & e-commerce digital strategy for beauty and home decor retailers (companies include Macy’s, One Kings Lane, Nordstrom, Savage x Fenty), and my broadcast journalism experience and beauty school training, we joined forces to introduce an elevated approach to the beauty industry by introducing curated collections that are designed with luxurious packaging, and highly pigmented formulas to complement diverse skin tones. We are inspired by customers of all walks of life and can’t wait to grow our community to deliver a best-in-class experience, along with great quality cosmetics at great prices.
