I started my cosmetic business last year. Exact date was March 26, 2019. 
I had 0 followers and it was hard for me to find buyers. I was just selling one product at that time and it was our very own Tinted Lipbalm. I started selling it to my friends. It was very unexpected because they love it so much and they started sharing it with their friends too and that was how it started. I already gained 1,000plus followers in 1 month and received a lot of good feedbacks. I am a 4th year college student at that time and I was just waiting for our graduation on April but since I am an Octoberian, I had to wait for 6 months. I dont wanna work that time so I decided to have a business. I was really just for fun but then it became bigger and bigger. I was supposed to be enrolling for Medicine but I found my happiness in Online Selling and making it even bigger. Who would've have thought. All of this is really unexpected. I currently have my own office, 75 resellers, paying my bills & helping my parents.
