Peasant Cosmetics is my dream. It's been such a procrastinated project since 2019. A son as lockdown started, I was given the time to fully focus on research and designing the brand for it's release. I've always been interested in Cosmetics specifically consumables such as candles and hair. I was researching in on the hair industry and learned that almost every consumer is getting scammed by greedy Chinese vendors. I decided to invested a few thousand on hair samples by different vendors and after several months, I finally found a credible and honest vendor. I was originally going to start a separate company just for the hair since I wanted Peasant Cosmetics to be some type of different different. It took me years to learn that I can't be an overnight success, at least not yet. I was suppose to launch candles in winter 2019 and I'm glad I can finally get the word out there that peasant Cosmetics is finally open for business!
