Today I’m interviewing Jamie Kern Lima – who started IT Cosmetics in her living room and grew the company into the largest luxury makeup brand in the country! Jamie sold the company to L’Oréal in a billion-dollar deal and became the first female CEO of a brand in its history. Her love of her customers and remarkable authenticity and belief eventually landed her on the Forbes America’s Richest Self-Made Women list. I loved interviewing Jamie because even with all of her success, Jamie is humble and has a heart for others. If you are in the middle of making your dream come true, you are going to love Jamie’s story. I know you will be inspired by this interview, just like I was!
