Today I want to share with you some personal and professional news. After deep reflection, I have decided that it is time to embark on a new path and leave my position at theCosmethics.
Whether you've been here for a short time or you've known me for years, today I'll tell you a few things about myself...
- My name is Ana and I am the co-founder of theCosmethics. I am 36 years old. When I met Sofia Rodriguez I was 23. I knew nothing about cosmetics and I only had five cosmetic products in my makeup bag. They were cruelty free and among them I had a red lipstick, Russian Red by MAC. My first lipstick. Now I use
this one , easier to apply and healthier.
- I studied journalism and I have always enjoyed helping and listening to other people.
- At theCosmethics I learned almost everything about cosmetics.
- Today is my last day as head of communications, social media and customer service.
- It has been a long, intense journey, with ups and downs. I won't say it was easy, but the theCosmethics team made it more bearable.
This place has been my home, refuge and guide. And I know that even if it won't continue in the same way, it will still be home.
I want to share with you 3 lessons that I will take with me forever:
If you are interested in this topic, I have a long but necessary reading on sunscreens. You can read it
here .
- It doesn't matter how good your cosmetics are if you don't cleanse your skin properly. I think I'll always recommend double cleansing.
The key is choosing the right cleanser. We have always been interested in this part of the routine because we wanted to find a facial cleanser that was easy to use, practical and effective.
That's why we created it . If you haven't tried it yet, now is a good time.
- Don't replace lack of sleep with concealer.
The best and worst of my time at theCosmethics.
The best:
- The human team.
- Flexibility, conciliation and empathy. Without this work context, this long-distance race would not have been possible.
- Learning and training.
- Opportunities to discover and try.
- The accumulated experience.
- These 7 cosmetics that have won me over:
Worst:
- My inability to disconnect.
- The feeling of being overwhelmed by exposure on social media.
- Occasional frustration in customer service due to not being able to meet all expectations.
- The speed of the environment.
From now on I won't be here like before...
You are in excellent hands. Sofia Rodriguez and Sofia Villapol will be here to assist you and help you. I am sure they will do it just as well as I did, or even better.
I leave with a full heart and deep gratitude for all the learnings and opportunities I have had. I feel incredibly fortunate and satisfied with everything I have experienced at theCosmethics.
I am starting a new stage in another place, with the same motivation as when I was 23, although now with some grey hair and stretch marks.
Thank you to each and every one of the people who have accompanied me on this long journey. And a special thanks to Sofía Villapol, Viviana, María, David, Diego, Fernando and my partner, associate and friend Sofía Rodriguez.
