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.

Like many people I had a lot more free time thanks to the pandemic as we weren’t able to see friends or go to the pub haha! So, I decided to put all that free time to good use and start my own business.

For as long as I can remember I have had an obsession with skincare and the beauty industry, which started thanks to having acne when I was younger. I remember always feeling self-conscious and not being able to look people in the face when they were talking to me because I didn’t want them to notice how bad my skin was. Over the years I have spent so much money on different skincare products, visited

countless doctors and dermatologists to get advice on how to help my skin – all of which provided me the information I needed to start Me Beauty Cosmetics.

Me Beauty Cosmetics launched with two products:

(1) A facial Puff – which is made from nano cotton fibres and is designed to lift makeup and dirt off your skin extremely easily.

(2) A Facial Cleansing Pad – which is made from a natural silicone material with strategically placed bristles to offer a gentle and effective cleanse on the skin and remove blackheads.

I wanted to launch with these two products because after all the years of investing in different skin care products and spending hours and hours with different dermatologists the one key piece of information I had gathered was it is imperative to ensure your skin is clean before your head hits the pillow at night. So, I wanted to launch with two products that anyone could use to ensure they wake up in the morning with a fresh, clean face.

Since launching the brand in January 2021 on our website www.mebeautycosmetics.shop we have gone from being sold on our little website to now being sold in over 20 stores around the country which is absolutely insane to me!

I was asked recently why I thought the business was having such success – I think there are two key reasons: (1) Our products can be used by everyone and do not require people to change their current products, our products can be used alongside your current cleanser, micellar water, or whichever product you use to

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!
