MEET THE GLOSS CREW!
Meet the Gloss Boss:
I am an only child, and I started my business when I was 17 years old as a hobby during the boredom of the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. I began to turn my hobby into a business in 2021, and now it is my full-time job. I grew up in Upper Township and Ocean City, and currently attend Stockton University full-time for my MBA in business management. I create all of my products to be vegan, cruelty-free and free from most common allergens because I believe we can have fun with beauty and cosmetics without hurting other living beings! I work on the business seven days a week, in between balancing school work and family. Every single lipgloss is hand-formulated, made, and filled by me in my "gloffice"! (With the help of family, of course<3)
Fun fact: I drive a pink sparkly SUV that I named "Mindy" (although she usually gets called the Big Pink Jellybean) If you see me on the road, give me a wave or post a pic and tag @ShopGiaTaylor!
My favorite part of running the business: Creating the seasonal glosses, and meeting customers at events!
My favorite gloss: Dream House! I love anything pink and sparkly! Runner-up: Cakepop!
Meet the Gloss Mom:
My name is Anna, and I'm the Gloss Mom! I love to help in the gloffice on my nights off from my real job. My favorite job in the gloffice is piping the lipglosses, especially popsicle glosses - so fun! I am typically the one who brings your online orders to the post office!
Fun fact: I am a full-time nurse, and enjoy doing yoga
My favorite part of the business: Attending festivals and shows on the weekends
My favorite gloss: Rose Petal and Plumping Peppermint. I love the ultra-clear and clarified glosses. Unlike Gia, I don't like sparkles!
Meet the Gloss-Fianc é:
My name is Quinn, and I am the gloss fiancé! With no prior knowledge of lipgloss making, you can now call me a pro. I help during the long nights of the busy seasons by helping make the batches, piping the tubes, and boxing up orders. I also am a lead role in coming up with the creative seasonal glosses!
Fun fact: I also attend Stockton University; I am an environmental major.
My favorite part of the business: Smelling the different scents and watching the new glosses go from an idea to reality
My favorite gloss: Very Cherry; a classic.
Meet Butterfly:
My name is Butterfly, and I was rescued in 2018, before the business was even thought of! Mom says that I am not allowed in the gloffice, but I understand that it is for sanitary reasons. I love tummy rubs and taking naps in the sun.
Fun fact: I have a butterfly pattern on my head, that's why they named me Butterfly!
My favorite part of the business: Mom hid a little butterfly on the back of her business cards to represent me
My favorite gloss: Tink (I was told it has holographic butterfly glitter in it!)
