Why I Started LEF Beauty — My Journey from a Classroom Dream to a Community Movement

The Question That Started It All

Let’s take it back to 2019.
I was a junior at Kean University, sitting in an entrepreneurship class, when my professor asked a simple but powerful question:

“What did you want to be as a kid? And what are you studying now?”

That question cracked something open in me. It reminded me of a dream I’d buried — a dream to inspire and empower others through beauty, self-expression, and community.

From Blog to Beauty Brand

After that class, I started having conversations with friends, family, and peers. Their encouragement pushed me to dig deeper into my purpose. With their guidance, I found the resources to launch Love Every Flaw — originally a blog dedicated to embracing your so-called “flaws” and sharing tips on emotional intelligence and beauty.

What began as blog posts and honest conversations quickly evolved. People didn’t just want beauty tips — they wanted a community. A place where they could feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

The Birth of LEF Beauty

Over time, Love Every Flaw transformed into LEF Beauty — a brand dedicated to helping “beauties” feel confident in their authentic selves while giving them tools to continue their self-care journey.

At LEF Beauty, our foundation is built on Authenticity, Belonging, and Confidence.
We believe beauty isn’t found in perfection — it’s in your story, your growth, and your glow.

What We Do

Today, LEF Beauty is more than just a beauty brand.
We offer:

  • Clean, confidence-boosting beauty products — like our signature lip glosses designed to highlight your natural beauty.

  • Wellness-centered events — from rooftop yoga to game nights, we create spaces that combine fun, connection, and self-care.

  • Community give-back initiatives — like our Breast Cancer Awareness Bouquets and upcoming Beauty Wellness Bag donations.

Every product, event, and initiative is designed to remind you that you are enough, exactly as you are.

Our Vision

Our mission is simple but powerful: to cultivate communities where beauties lead with authenticity and celebrate who they are — flaws and all.

We’re here to connect emotionally intelligent, self-aware people who value wellness, style, and joy. Whether you join us at an event, shop our products, or take part in our community projects, you’re part of something bigger — a movement to redefine beauty on our own terms.
