Collection: STACEY

• Hi My Loves! ❤️ I’m Stacey -aka- QueenBee! I’m a makeup influencer on tik tok in my spare time - but in my day to day life I am married to my junior high sweetheart of 19 years and together we have 8 beautiful babies. I spend most of my time in mom mode but each day I like to take the time to do my makeup to feel good about myself. As moms we tend to put ourselves last and I’ve found that by taking that time each day I feel SO much better! Even as a young girl I loved makeup, but it wasn’t until about 2.5 years ago that I really found a passion for it. I was diagnosed with Cancer at the beginning of 2020. At the time I was a mom of 7 & the thought of my babies losing me took me to my knees with fear. The next few months we’re rough with a recovery from surgery to managing life without a life sustaining organ. Soon after my diagnosis I noticed a lot of other health issues arise. My teeth being the most prominent. In the spring of 2021 I made the life changing decision to pull my teeth and get dentures. Being only 30 years old, it was an incredibly traumatic thing to go through. I had already suffered from hair loss and now lost my teeth. I found myself feeling lower than I ever had looking in the mirror each day. One day on YouTube I came across a tutorial by Bailey Sarian that really caught my attention. I decided to go to the drugstore & buy myself some beginner makeup to try to work on some looks myself. In the beginning I wasn’t very good at it, but I found the more I kept practicing the better I became. Soon I was creating looks that I never imagined I’d be capable of. I found a new light within myself that made me feel beautiful! Something I had never felt before. Seeing my new smile & learning to do make up gave me a whole new look on life. After going through such a hard battle it was hard to come back out of that darkness. I realized how many other people were like me suffering, & unfortunately alone. I decided to open up about everything I was going through on TikTok in May of 2021. At the time I had only had a few hundred followers. The more my story got out.. the more people opened up about how much we had in common. This gave me the courage to be completely open to the public about losing my hair and teeth. A year later I now have almost 215k followers & have several viral makeup transitions on tik tok with over 3 million views. I use my experiences & hardships to inspire others who are sick or not feeling like themselves. I want everyone to know that they are beautiful inside & out and that how they feel about themselves means more than the opinions others have ever will! I want everyone to know that they deserve to feel beautiful no matter how that looks to anyone else. I’m so honored to collab with a company like MaddLove Cosmetics & the other creators on our platform. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us! Love you all! XoXo ❤️
