Death By Lipstick

08/11/2025

Happy Saturday, loves 💄
Today I’m celebrating resilience — the kind that keeps you going even when life tests your strength.
Behind the Lipstick isn’t just a name… it’s a reminder that every woman, every creator, every dreamer has a story behind the shine.
Mine is full of grit, grace, and a whole lot of faith.
Later today, I’ll be introducing the new series — a collection of real, raw stories that shaped me and built Death By Lipstick from the ground up.
It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like giving up but found a reason to keep going anyway.
Stay tuned, loves. This one’s from the soul. 💋

Real talk from me to you 🖤

I’m not saying this from a pedestal. I’m saying it because I’ve been that girl staring at the ceiling at 2AM, completely overwhelmed, talking about my dreams more than I was moving on them. I’ve sat in my car, in my kitchen, in my studio, saying “when things calm down… when I have more time… when I feel ready.”

But here’s what I learned the hard way: the time never magically opened up. I had to grab it back in tiny intentional pieces. Five minutes to send the email. Five minutes to finish the mockup.

Five minutes to write the idea on paper instead of letting it die in my head. Those little moments are what built Death By Lipstick, the studio, the projects, the life I’m living now. Not perfection. Not confidence. Just small, honest decisions stacked up.

So when I tell you:
YOU DON’T NEED MORE TIME.
YOU NEED MORE INTENTION.

…it’s because I remember exactly what it felt like to feel stuck, behind, and doubting myself. You’re not behind. You’re just one focused decision away from momentum.

Tonight or tomorrow, give yourself five intentional minutes toward the thing that’s been tugging at you. Then come back and tell me what you did so we can clap for it together. No shame, just growth. 💋

Read this and be honest with yourself 👇🏽
Most of us aren’t waiting on a “sign.” We’re hiding behind perfect timing because it feels safer than starting scared.
But your next level doesn’t need perfect. It needs proof that you’re willing to move.
Post the idea. Email the person. Record the 15 seconds. Apply. Show up.
Five intentional minutes today can open a door you’ve been staring at for years.
If this hits, drop a ❤️ and tell me one tiny decision you’re making today, not “someday.”
We’re taking action together.

OFFICIAL TRAILER: Sugar Boys 🎬

We built this with love, grit, and a whole lot of Detroit. I’m so proud to be part of this Enigma Studios family—what started as a film became community. You all poured your souls into this, and it shows.
Near the finish line & goosebumps everywhere. 🍿
Loud for the people in the back: Detroit makes movies. Huge love to Enigma Studios and the entire cast & crew—too many names to fit in a caption, but you know who you are. Thank you for making Detroit shine.
This city raised us. This crew saved us. This film moved us.

“Sugar Boys” trailer out now—built in Detroit, for the world. 🌍💙

Watch it, feel it—then drop your favorite moment in the comments so we can cheer together. I love you all. Let’s finish strong. 💪🏽💋

Seeing you in that DBL red hoodie and your granddaughters smiling in their tees… that hit me in the heart. You didn’t just buy something—you believed in what I’m building. And you shared it with your girls. That means everything.

To Vincent’s granddaughter’s and grandson: I hope you feel unstoppable every time you put those shirts on. May you carry that bold-and-beautiful/gorgeous energy into every room, every dream, every “watch me do it anyway” moment. You are seen. You are powerful. You are the future. 💪✨

To our customers—our DAY ONES, our believers, our community—you are the heartbeat of Death By Lipstick. Thank you for wearing the vision, sharing the brand, and reminding the world that glam + grit can change lives. I’m so grateful for you, Vincent. Thank you for being a true super fan and for raising the next generation of courageous queens. Let’s create more super fans together. 🖤

Drop a ❤️ if you’re part of the DBL family—and tag the friend or daughter/granddaughter who needs this energy today.

😂 Okay, I know it’s Thursday… but my Turnaround Tuesday message was too good not to share this week — so we’re calling it Turnaround Thursday 💄✨

When you don’t know what to post — don’t freeze, organize. 💄

In Part 3 of my mini-series, I’m breaking down the DBL 4 Bucket Formula — the easiest way to keep your content flowing, stay consistent, and never run out of ideas again.

✨ The 4 Buckets:
1️⃣ BTS – show what you’re building
2️⃣ Story – share your why
3️⃣ Value – teach or inspire
4️⃣ CTA – invite people in

Because people don’t connect with the perfect you — they connect with the real you. 💋
Stay tuned for Part 4, coming soon!

😂 Okay, I know it’s Thursday… but my Turnaround Tuesday message was too good to skip this week, so we’re just gonna call it Turnaround Thursday 😅💋
Because this one still matters —
✨ People don’t connect with the perfect you, they connect with the real you.
The one who laughs at the bloopers, learns from the mistakes, and keeps showing up anyway. That’s what makes your story powerful. That’s what people feel.
So maybe I’m a couple days late — but the message is right on time. 🙌
Stay tuned for Part 3 dropping later this evening! 💄🔥

One of the most underrated skills you can ever master is the ability to ignore your mood and stick to the plan.

Motivation fades, energy shifts, and life will test your consistency — but the ones who build legacies are the ones who move anyway. The women who show up when it’s inconvenient. The artists who stay disciplined when no one’s watching. The entrepreneurs who push through, even when it’s not pretty.

There’s real power in transparency — especially with the people who trust you. Be honest about where you are, what you can give, and what you’re building. And if you say you’re going to do something… do it.
That’s self-respect. That’s leadership. That’s how trust — both in yourself and with others — gets built.

At Death By Lipstick, we believe discipline and integrity are the most beautiful forms of self-love. 💄
Because when you keep your promises — to yourself, your team, and your relationships — you become unstoppable. You stop waiting for permission and start becoming the permission.

So today, push through. Follow through. Keep it real.
Your legacy is built in the moments no one sees.

💋 Who’s blogging anymore? Who’s even got an email list?

Like… does anyone still care?

Here’s the truth: if you’re working on anything that needs mass awareness — your music, your brand, your project — these things still matter.

Because algorithms change. Ownership doesn’t.

✨ 3 reasons you should care:
1️⃣ Blogging builds trust. It lets you control your own story.
2️⃣ Email lists = freedom. That’s your direct line to your people — no middleman, no algorithm.
3️⃣ Search loves blogs. Every post you write keeps working for you long after it’s posted.
📖 Has anyone seen my blog “Synergy” when I post it? I’m due for another one later this month — been trying to drop one every month to keep you all updated and inspired.
If you’d like to be on my email list, send me a DM with your email and I’ll add you.

Let’s grow this thing together — real audience, real connection, real legacy. 💄

Most people never get what they want, not because they can’t have it — but because they avoid the uncomfortable work that gets them there.
The truth is… the faster you face what feels hard, the faster the universe starts sending the good stuff your way.

Every dream has a “hard part.” The trick is to stop waiting to feel ready and start moving anyway.
Discipline beats motivation every time. And when you push through the part that scares you, you prove to yourself that you can handle anything — and that’s when doors start opening.

👄 You can’t skip the struggle, but you can change your relationship with it.

Do it messy. Do it scared. Do it tired.
Because every time you do the thing you didn’t want to do, you get one step closer to the version of you that has everything you’ve been working for.

Tag a woman who’s been pushing through her own “hard part.”
Let’s remind her — strategy beats survival every single time. 🔥
