Organized by
Elena Rodrigeuz, Founder of Besitos Beauty Cosmetics, started her business after she became widowed on Christmas Eve and lost everything...including her confidence and self-esteem upon discovering her husband's 5 year affair after he died.
On days she wouldn't have been mad if she didn't wake up, lipstick was the finishing touch that picked her up & pulled her together. Lipstick became her superpower and she just knew, other women needed her strength.
She got started with only 50 lipsticks & sold out, but her true measurement for success was, "Would they come back for more?" The answer was YES!
She's now shipped across the United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Canada, and has helped nonprofits raise funds with campaigns like Kisses for a Cause, The Christmas Angel, and also with her events such as RADIANCE: Shine Bright from Within and Surrender to Rise LIVE.
She has built all of this on her own by word of mouth, hustle, grind, determination, and FAITH! Besitos Beauty is more than just lipstick, it's a vibe, it's Color with Confidence, and it's a community of Comeback Queens with dreams.
