BUSINESS // ROSS KANE
ROSS KANE BUSINESS// I’M ROSS, I AM 25 YEARS OLD AND I’M FROM BANGOR IN NORTHERN IRELAND. I’M SO EXCITED TO BE TALKING TO YOU TODAY ABOUT MY LOCAL BUSINESS WHICH I STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC CALLED ME BEAUTY COSMETICS.

wash your face. Our products just ensure to lift away any makeup & dirt correctly! (2) Our price point is always in favour of the consumer. When I had acne, I was still in school and didn’t have a job, so I was reliant on using all my pocket money to buy skincare. I want to ensure that our products are accessible to anyone who may be in need of them. I would like to say thank you to anyone who has supported me and the business and also encouraging anyone who has a dream of starting their own business to go for it because it is an extremely rewarding felling!
