Our Story
MIXNBLEND BEAUTY is a black owned beauty brand for artists, creatives and people who love colour cosmetics. I established the brand in 2016 but the concept and idea behind MIXNBLEND has been with me since 2012.
Having had retail experience in the luxury store of Selfridges i was surrounded by high end beauty products. I spent fortunes on products because i wanted to be a M.A.C makeup artist & living bi-costal in Toronto Canada i had the luxury of buying makeup in stores like Sephora, Target & Walmart. When i was turned down for a makeup role, i pursued my corporate role in the finance industry.
Having worked in a hedge fund consultancy, my experience working in the heart of London as a Chartered Accountant wasn't all that i thought it would be. I worked super long hours by a wall with no window & truthfully i hated being told when i can go home or when i could have my lunch !
Makeup, beauty & hair was my only escape. It was my way to express myself. It is my source of inspiration to go about the day & from that point on MIXNBLEND BEAUTY was born.
MIXNBLEND is about quality, affordable products that is fun and versatile for you to work with.
Each product i design and manufacture has been created with love and in aim to be inclusive for all skin types.
Thank you to everyone who has followed the MIXNBLEND journey so far & if your just joining us connect with me ! & the brand !
