Starting Glossy Cosmetics GLOSSY COSMETICS CO🩷🖤 during COVID, freshman marketing major Logan started her lip care line because she wanted something of her own. She said about her early beginnings, “first month in high school I made my first $1000 and I never looked back.” Now at the Black Friday Market place she keeps it glossy.💄💋
Miguelinda was started by Mivette who is now a Graduate student at Morgan State University. Beauty Boutique was created back in 2020, due to no beauty supply store being in the area. She created her business to make sure everyone has access to essential hair care accessories, like bonnets, hats, and scrunchies.🎀
