00:00Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Shop Essence Live.
00:04We are in a new year and you know, I promised myself I need to do something
00:08for myself every single day.
00:10Give me a little, just a little spritz of luxury, a little spritz of self-care
00:16and beauty.
00:17And when I tell you this next entrepreneur has got us covered in this
00:22department with V Beauty.
00:24Everybody.
00:25Welcome Jasmine Lewis.
00:29Hey, hey.
00:32Oh my gosh.
00:33First of all, when I got your packaging, I was already in love because
00:38it's just so beautiful.
00:40I didn't even know what was inside.
00:41I was just like, I cannot wait to put this on my vanity because it is
00:45going to step it up so much.
00:47And if I'm not, I'm not going to teach y'all but this is what I'm talking
00:50about.
00:51Like look at how gorgeous that is.
00:53So before we get into the product though, I know right?
00:55I just want to like keep it there the whole time.
00:57Before we get into the products, why don't you tell everyone about
01:01V Beauty?
01:02How you came up with this amazing brand?
01:06Okay, so I am actually a statistician and I started from the, as a beauty
01:12professional and then transitioned over into a beauty founder in 2020.
01:17And that is when we launched 30 Roses, which is a hydrating facial rose
01:23water that is curated for dry, sensitized and dehydrated skin.
01:28So my whole thing when it comes to skincare is simplifying skincare and
01:33also leading with hydration.
01:35A lot of the times people don't know the proper things to take care of
01:38their skin.
01:39So they're doing things that are either going to strip the barrier as
01:43opposed to hydrating moisture and providing restoration to it.
01:49So that is why we have the rose water.
01:52It's easy to merge within a current routine and it's something that does
01:57not feel overwhelming, but it's also beautiful and gets it on your
02:00vanity as a gentle reminder to do your skincare.
02:04Oh, I love it.
02:06Wow.
02:06And that esthetician background is so, so important.
02:10So you're really, really coming in with the foundation of making sure
02:14that our skin is taken care of, which I absolutely love.
02:17Now, me personally, I love rose water just because it smells so
02:21beautiful, like it smells so good.
02:23But what are some of the properties that people might not know are the
02:27benefits of rose water and making that a part of your beauty routine?
02:31So rose water helps with inflammation.
02:33So like if you have any redness, it'll help with kind of reducing any
02:36type of redness.
02:37It goes like way, way, way back into like ancient times, like the women
02:41used to bathe in rose water to kind of help with their skin and everything
02:45like that.
02:46So it helps with inflammation.
02:48It'll help to restore moisture.
02:50It'll provide hydration into the skin, especially when you start to pack
02:54it in between each routine.
02:56And it's something that you don't have to use with the moisturizer.
03:00You don't have to use it with a cleanser.
03:03You can use it just as a gentle refresh.
03:04So like I have on makeup right now.
03:06I could just go in and just spray and it'll be okay.
03:11Now this I love and I was at a shoot.
03:14I was at an all-day shoot yesterday.
03:16And you know, when we step out, you just like you're all done up and then
03:20like five hours in it's just like it was rough.
03:23So if I had this in my purse, the things that we can do to just like look
03:28refreshed and I'm glad that you mentioned that you have a full face of
03:31makeup on.
03:33Can you talk a little bit about the process and like I'm starting my day.
03:37What are the times that I can use it?
03:39Should I use it before I put foundation on or have a full face of makeup
03:43and then put it on and I'm going to treat myself to some spritz as you
03:45go through all that.
03:47So with the product you can with 30 Roses, you can use it before and
03:52within the whole routine.
03:53So what I'll typically do is I'll cleanse my face and then I'll spritz
03:59on by just to kind of give it some hydration and then I'll put on my
04:03foundation, my primer and everything like that.
04:06And then when I finish my makeup, I will go in and spritz again.
04:10And then another hack that I really really do love about it is going into
04:15like dampen the makeup brushes with it.
04:18So I would go in and I'll just kind of spray.
04:21I wish I had my makeup brush, but I'll go and I'll spray.
04:26I have one but it's fine.
04:27I'll go in and I'll spray the makeup brush to kind of like, you know,
04:33correct my makeup and things like that.
04:36No, that's perfect.
04:38Listen, we in real life right now.
04:40Okay, Jasmine.
04:42I'm not worried about the dog in the background.
04:44Don't you worry about because my kids are going to be home from school.
04:47They're going to start barking too.
04:48So it's fine.
04:49But no, I love that little hack about makeup brushes because yes, I have
04:55friends that are makeup artists and they like to dampen their makeup
04:58brushes and it just like the blend it becomes so perfect when you do it
05:04that way.
05:05So I love it.
05:05Can you go through, you know, product by product because I know I have
05:10two different sizes of the rose water.
05:13If you didn't kind of talk about, you know, each one and what the sizes
05:17are and kind of what else is available at your website.
05:20Yes, I sure can.
05:21So they actually come packaged in these pink boxes.
05:25So the large size is 85 milliliters and a lot of people don't know it
05:30is still safe to travel because it's under the three ounces, but a lot
05:35of people choose not to travel with it just because the way of it, you
05:40know, they kind of want things that are going to be more travel-friendly
05:43because stick it in your purse in your bag and then the mini which is
05:48the mini version of 30 roses is this size and it fits perfectly like in
05:53your purse in a bag or however you would like and then also it comes
05:59in a set as well.
06:01So the set is both bottles together.
06:06So cute.
06:08Oh my gosh.
06:08This is a great gift.
06:10The set is such a great gift, especially as Valentine's Day is coming
06:15up or if you have any good girlfriends and you want to give them for
06:18Valentine's Day.
06:19It's the perfect, perfect, perfect gift.
06:24Yes, she's right y'all.
06:25And when I tell you especially like if you're a girly girl or a girl's
06:30girl when you wake up in the morning and you walk to your vanity, that's
06:35something that you see and you start your day with every single day.
06:38Imagine these beautiful glass.
06:43They are glass like you guys can't feel them now, but this is high high
06:46quality with the sparkly gold like that would look beautiful by itself.
06:52But then the actual refresher and I know for myself, especially in the
06:56winter time.
06:57My skin is like the Sahara Desert.
06:59It is a dry and you guys can already see like I did a little spritz and
07:04the difference that it made for me and I have like this glow going on.
07:09When I tell you before I did it, it was like it was dry.
07:13So this is a really, really great product for refreshing and all those
07:17properties.
07:17I don't even know like inflammation and all those things.
07:20That is so so great.
07:21I'm telling you the esthetician telling us so what we should be doing in
07:26the product.
07:28So this is not all that you have to offer.
07:29Can you talk about your other products that you have available as well?
07:33Yes, so interesting enough.
07:41Go and open it because I think he's crying because I'm like right here.
07:45Okay.
07:45All right.
07:46So why don't you go and do that?
07:48Okay, hold on.
07:50Don't worry about it.
07:50We'll let you do that and I'm going to remind you guys you are watching
07:55shop essence live.
07:56I am your host Noni Donovan Stephanie Noni Donovan by the way, and this
08:02is a weekly show that we do in partnership with the new voices family
08:06and every single week.
08:09We are bringing you two new black owned brands.
08:12This is how we keep generational wealth in our community.

08:34of our past episodes that you can go directly to these websites to buy as
08:38well.
08:39And we have Jasmine who is back.
08:43Yeah, as the other products that are available.
08:49Absolutely.
08:49So we have 30 cool down is interesting because we actually launched this
08:55during essence fest last year.
08:57It is a facial.
09:00It's like a beauty product.
09:02So think of a misting fan means 30 roses in one and so has three settings
09:09and missed out the rose water is a really good cool setting.
09:15And it smells so good.
09:17It feels lovely on the skin.
09:18So just imagine walking out is hot.
09:22You want to cool down.
09:24You can still nourish your skin while you're traveling or in the airport.
09:29You're trying to refresh the skin.
09:31It's a really good way to do that.
09:32Then it come in like these beautiful like hot pink flocking bags.
09:37So cute.
09:38Let me tell you if you come to an essence festival where it feels like is
09:43125 degrees outside.
09:46You are missing out.
09:47If you don't get you one of those misting fans.
09:49I definitely have to get one.
09:52Yeah, it'll be a new refresh design by the time we come back this year.
09:57So I'm really excited to debut that as well.
10:02So good.
10:03All right.
10:04So this show as I mentioned before is in partnership with the new voices
10:08family, which you are a member of you talk a little bit about what it has
10:12been like being a part of that great community.
10:16My experience has been absolutely amazing.
10:19I've been able to have experiences at Essence Festival for the first time
10:23like last year where I was able to pop up in my founder hour and talk about
10:28the brand and introduce the brand to new people as well as I'm in the
10:33Madame CJ Walker program.
10:35And what I really do love about the program is the mentorship and
10:40community.
10:41I'm really really big on community.
10:43We're rooted in community with V Beauty and I love having a cohort of
10:48other founders that are building towards a similar mission and go to
10:52something better and that is something that is just like really important
10:56to me and I just love it because you know, our shoppers aren't and that's
11:01that's pretty much what we're doing every day and being surrounded around
11:07excellence is just going to breed more excellence.
11:10Oh, I love love love this.
11:13So if you're an entrepreneur and you're watching at home and I hear it all
11:18the time from founders like when you don't have a community being an
11:21entrepreneur can be very very lonely.
11:24So imagine having this community where you're looking to your left and you
11:27have this incredible brand there that is scaled beyond measure and looking
11:31to your other side and it's somebody that's just starting out.
11:35It's such a great community.
11:37They have great mentorship.
11:38So I encourage you if you have a business even thinking about a business
11:43check out newvoicesfamily.com join.
11:45It is free to join.
11:47So I could be talking to you in a few months.
11:49You never know.
11:50So take a chance on yourself and check out new voices family.
11:55Jasmine.
11:56It's been so great to have you on.
11:58I am so excited to make the beauty a part of my everyday life.
12:03I mean the day with this making sure that we do something in our day to take
12:08care of ourselves and start off on the good foot and the good fabulous foot
12:12at that.
