Today we’d like to introduce you to Monique Glover.
Hi Monique, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
LaMonique Cosmetics began as a vision born from passion, purpose, and persistence. I was inspired to create a line of cosmetics that went beyond beauty. One that promoted wellness, confidence, and skin health. By combining aromatherapy and a deep understanding of how vitamins and minerals nourish the skin, I developed products that were healthy conscious.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The journey hasn’t always been smooth,but every challenge has shaped LaMonique Cosmetics into what it is today. In the beginning, resources were limited, and I had to learn everything from product formulation to branding and business management. Lack of funding waa also a huge set back. There were moments of trial and error and times when balancing passion with practicality felt overwhelming.
One of the biggest struggles was earning visibility in a competitive beauty industry while staying true to my mission of clean, vitamin-infused cosmetics. Many brands focused solely on trends, but I was determined to build something that prioritized wellness, integrity, and results. With the support of Meta ( Facebook) I was able to learn how to use Ai generative tools along with A/B ad testing which helped great with visibility and brand awareness.
As you know, we’re big fans of LaMonique Cosmetics . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
LaMonique Cosmetics is more than a beauty brand, it’s a celebration of healthy, radiant skin and self-confidence. We specialize in vitamineral aromatherapy cosmetics — products created with micronized minerals and freeze-dried vitamins designed to nourish the skin while enhancing natural beauty. Every formula is crafted with care to deliver high quality sustainable products. Our products are paraben, gluten and cruelty-free. They also do not contain any hormone or endocrine disruptors.
What sets LaMonique Cosmetics apart is our commitment to clean, skin-benefiting ingredients and our belief that beauty should be both luxurious and health-conscious. Our customers love that they can feel good about what they’re putting on their skin, knowing it’s infused with vitamins, minerals, and aromatherapeutic benefits.
We’re most proud of our authenticity and dedication to quality cosmetics. From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in clean beauty to being the recipient of The 2024 Clean Beauty Awards, LaMonique Cosmetics has remained true to its core values — wellness, integrity, and empowerment.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I believe that every dream requires a little bit of risk. Starting my brand was one of the biggest risks I’ve ever taken. While stepping out on faith with a vision that didn’t yet have a roadmap. I had to invest my own resources, time, and energy into developing something I believed in, even when others didn’t fully understand the concept of vitamineral aromatherapy cosmetics.
To me, taking risks isn’t about being reckless. It’s about trusting your instincts, doing your research, and believing in your purpose enough to move forward even when it’s uncomfortable.
