Comfortable In Your Skin: An Interview with Beauty by Annie Bee
By Lea Byrnes Art
Annie Bee, owner of Beauty by Annie Bee, started her business in 2020 to help both women and men restore their confidence with healing, all-natural beauty products. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Annie is a mother of two with a passion for helping others through her beauty brand. In her teen years, Annie struggled with hair loss and did not know the cause. After being diagnosed with alopecia, she first began using steroids to treat her condition. Today, using her own products, Annie has found an all-natural solution she shares with the world to help others embrace their inner and outer beauty.

“When the pandemic hit, I stopped my steroid treatment to strengthen my immune system and the Miracle Hair Growth Oil was born,” Annie tells us. “Natural and handmade, this little bottle took my hair from 70% loss to 100% full and officially out of wigs. Since then, I have used my knowledge of plants and oils to create a line of skin care and cosmetics!”
After turning her passion into her business, Annie has since created an entire line of natural products, including hair, lip, brow, lash, nail, face, and skin products. She also sells a selection of luxury candles and jewelry. About her products, Annie describes, “My brand caters to those who have sensitive skin and allergies, or those who simply prefer that natural route. Women and men nationwide have gained their confidence back with longer, thicker, more manageable hair, soft skin and hydrated lips!” Her customer base varies on a wide scale, including all ethnicities and ages. She says, “Whether you are young or old, looking for a natural lip product or hair oil or looking to hydrate your fine lines, my products can help!”

One of Annie’s most popular products is the BBL Boobie-Booty Plumping Cream. Made with 100% natural ingredients, “...this product has quickly become a client favorite! With over 500 reviews on Etsy at a 5 star rating, this cream is proven to satisfy customers. It's rich, moisturizing and works quickly!” With no added fragrance, this cream contains only the necessities: flaxseed oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, fenugreek, pereira mirifica, and mica. This natural, gentle formula provides a safe way to plump and tighten for a more youthful appearance, as well as getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles.

Another product that has become a big hit is the Miracle Hair Growth Oil. Annie says that this oil is “.…a classic that customers love. With proven results, it has become a part of customers' beauty routine.” Like the plumping cream, this oil is made with all-natural ingredients like castor oil, flaxseed oil, essential oils, and more. This blend replenishes nutrients and prevents hair loss, increases hair density, and stimulates hair growth. On her website, Annie even offers the option for customers to customize their handmade formula if they are allergic to any of the listed ingredients. She recommends this product for people struggling with hair loss for all sorts of different reasons, including alopecia, COVID, hormone imbalances, cancer, lupus, menopause, and more. Customers have reported rapid healing and new hair growth in just 2-4 weeks after use! The Miracle Hair Growth Oil keeps hair moisturized and healthy without looking greasy, and is suitable for all hair types.

Starting her own beauty brand has taught Annie a lot about the different issues that people face with their hair, skin, and other parts of the body. “We all have flaws we would love to fix,” she says. “A lot of us also have similar issues once we open up to talking about it. To me, It's more about naturally enhancing what you already have. It's a confidence booster! Feeling comfortable in your own skin is important!” Annie has experience in overcoming these issues and finding healing and confidence in her own skin, so she is able to help others who are going through the same thing. Her products provide a natural way to feel amazing and look better than ever! To others who are looking to start a business in the beauty industry, Annie advises, “This is a competitive market. My hard work and dedication goes a long way! It's important to believe in your products 100% and make them with love! From the product to the packaging, every detail matters!” Not only are Annie’s products functional, but they are also beautiful with eye-catching designs and a cute bee charm hanging from each bottle of Miracle Oil and Plumping Cream!
There are lots of exciting things coming up in Annie Bee’s future. She has recently released a new product, a special body glitter which Annie says has been selling out so quickly during in-person sales that she has not yet had the chance to get it online. She tells us, “It's holographic, light, and absolutely beautiful! I will have this up soon! I promise!” In the near future, Annie says, “I am working on some things currently to get my products into salons. In the next 2-5 years, I am hoping to see my products on shelves nationwide and possibly even internationally. It's all in the works, so stay tuned!” With her adorable packaging, high quality ingredients, and obvious passion to help others, there is no doubt that all of Annie’s dreams will come to fruition.
