They say time flies when you’re having fun, and over the past 7 years, we’ve been having A LOT of fun!
From where Give Me Cosmetics started to where we are now, it’s surreal to look back at what we’ve accomplished, and we couldn’t have done it all without you.
We’re so thankful for the incredible community of people we’ve built.
A community where our customers can come together and use our products as a way to show themselves love and care.
A community where you can feel free to be yourself, find your confidence, and enhance your beauty rather than trying to cover it up.
A community that we’re proud to call ours and one that we love being a part of.
But before we get too emotional, let’s pause the waterworks and take a trip down memory lane…
Let's Go Back A Few Years...
Join us for a walk down the pink brick road (see what we did there?!) while we explore the Oz of the cosmetics world…Give Me Cosmetics, of course.
Being brought into the world in 2017, Give Me began as 1 person’s idea to develop products for everyone, no matter their age, gender, size, colour, or origin. From four unisex products to now, we’ve continued to launch products that help people feel the most confident they can.
The perfect example of this, our haircare range began with our Argan Oil & Coconut Oil Haircare range and it now boasts 5 ranges, offering something for everyone!
Through releasing these products and collaborating with thousands of influencers and celebs, we’ve been able to reach an incredible number of people whose problems we’re bringing solutions to. Some of the big names that have helped us do this include Michelle Keegan, Baby Spice, Rita Ora, Nicole Scherzinger, and Gemma Collins.
But our inspirations aren’t just celeb-based, and we’ve got our incredible customers to thank for our success, too. Over the past 7 years we’ve loved seeing your photos and videos with our products and your word-of-mouth has meant that so many people could find and love our products as much as we do.
We can’t say it’s all been easy, and as with many companies, the pandemic brought around some scary times. Thankfully, we continued to launch new products throughout and were able to bring happiness to people’s doorsteps through hampers that people would send to loved ones they couldn’t visit.
And of course, we thanked our amazing NHS workers with hampers full of goodies to look after themselves while they were protecting us on the front lines.
The Past Few Years
We’ve got to be honest, we’re still reeling from the incredible success that 2023 brought us, including Give Me being featured in multiple British Vogue issues, on This Morning, and taking TikTok by storm.
And our 2023 success didn't stop there, as we placed 18th out of 100 in SimilarWeb’s Digital 100 - the official list of the fastest-growing digital companies in the UK!
This year also brought the Eurovision Song Contest to our hometown of Liverpool, and we were proud to be part of a massive digital campaign as part of the celebrations to welcome the event to the city.
Speaking of exciting things coming to our home city, 2024 also brought us Taylor Swift, and we fully got involved, joining our Swiftie friends at Anfield Stadium to quiz them on some Taylor trivia.
Now, we’re just over halfway through 2024 and so much has happened! This year saw Give Me receive huge financial investment to help scale the continuous growth of the business, allowing us to bring on more team members and launch some exciting products like our Give Me For Men Range (and more to come…keep your eyes peeled!)
Looking To The Future
So, with so much going on over the past 7 years, what's in store for the future of Give Me? Well, we’re not slowing down we can tell you that much!
To mark our 7th birthday, we’ve got a spectacular celebration planned for our team to let their hair down, look back on their successes and celebrate their hard work. We’re also investing more time into how we give back to our community, starting with our first bake sale for the RSPCA in August.
Plus, we told you to keep your eyes peeled and that’s because we have so many incredible products coming your way, following our new Broad Spectrum SPF that launched last month.
At our core, we know that our inclusive, empowering values are a staple of what makes us Give Me Cosmetics and we’re excited to continue bringing you products filled with natural ingredients, cruelty-free practices, and filter-free confidence.
We’re always working to redefine beauty standards and show you that real is beautiful. YOU are beautiful!
So, here’s to the next 7 years full of exciting things. We’re honoured that we get to help you find your inner glow every day.
Love,
The Give Me Team x
