The sharks were rejecting; and God was projecting. Soar, Ladies!
Well said.
💯❤
That is all God for these two ladies flourishing business.
Amens 🙏🏽!
Love this saying 🎉🎉
They were referred to as roaches on national TV. And what makes me more upset, no one came to their defense. Not even Daymond John stood up for them. They remained calm and respectful when they had every right to cuss folks out. I digress.
I’m delighted for their success. As for the Sharks, “bloop” them.
🙏🏾black males have never been in the business of defending black women from ANYTHING.. I hope black women finally lose the expectation and bet on and support ourselves, not the black male led BC..
@@TruthofAce girl. You better tell them. Black women still out here lost as hell and a lot go against each other. They don’t realize that black men are men first not their race first. The BC only cares for them only and for black women to fight against racism and be big mamas to the world or to be down in society as stereotypes. We are not a monolith at all either.
They only want black women help when it’s to do the clean up work or to hold them down but it’s not reciprocated back at all.
Don’t go into any career expecting black males to have your back, it’s rare. Don’t seek their support or help or validation. I never truly did. It’s best to VET people based off their reciprocity, support, and understanding regardless of gender or color.
Not being loyal to your own because black women got themselves and must build a support system of people they can trust. We are women first and need to go where we are appreciated and accepted.
Their episode was when I stopped watching Shark Tank. I never even once watched it again because of the way they spoke to them. And I never bought another FUBU item of clothing because Daymond didn't protect the Black Queens.
I remember that episode. Kevin called them “ colorful cockroaches!” He made me so mad 😡. Congratulations to them for proving them all wrong!
OMG!!!! 😡 😢 THEY'RE GORGEOUS YOUNG LADIES !
He called them cockroaches? Omg! I don't watch the show, wow!
@@LadybugLuvhe calls other races thar too
That's so disrespectful and rude to call anyone names. Rich folks think that they can do and say anything to people they feel are beneath them. I'm glad these two beautiful sisters, didn't give up on their dreams. God always has the last word, Rich and Successful. 🥰❤❤❤
Wow! I need to research now to find these ladies products!!!❤
I saw that episode. I was shocked at how rude Kevin was to them. He called them roaches. I will never forget it. Because up until that episode, "Shark Tank" was one of my favorite shows. But after that comment I couldn't watch it anymore. I am so happy to see them become such a success. GOD is truly AWESOME!!!
That was God’s protection! Imagine if one of those sharks had bought in and taken over their company? They have full ownership and are thriving on their own terms. Good for them!
Every disappointment is a blessing. They're in control and none of those 🦈 have any percentages in their business. Look at God.
Bamm!!! At times we feel if we can just get " them " or that. And God has another plan.
Sooo this is what "god" uses "his" power 4?? To protect 2 Women but not the over 20,000 in Morocco DEAD, Not the Over 5,000 in Lybia due to Floods/Mudslides Not the 200+ in the Hawaii Fires but on these 2 Sisters here?? 🤨
#BLACKGIRLMAGIC
Absolutely!!!!
When you don’t listen to Man, but listen to God. God’s way for you is always perfect.
I saw their pitch when it aired, and there have been many many pitches the sharks turned down that went on to become household names. They turned down The Ring guy and regretted it. So congratulations to these ladies for continuing on.
Sharks said “No”, God Creator of the Universe said “YES”‼️. Congrats Lip Bar owners🙌🏽✔️. Much success and blessings 🙏🏽❤️
God is in Control of All things. 😇✌️🙏🙏🙏
Tamron Hall hair is FIRECE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember that episode and said they'll make it because we [Black Women] all wanted to see them win and to support because outside of Fenty there really isn't a brand for US. The plus is that its vegan and cruelty free! Kudos to them!!!
I’m going to order some more of their products today just cause❤ Congratulations Ladies…Bravo 🎉
ME TOOOOO!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😃😃😃😃
Please buy me one too
sometimes millionaires can be bad for other people's business
I saw their Shark Tank episode live on tv and have been supporting their brand since day one.
God Bless you
I LOVE THEIR STORY❣️ The sharks don't know everything.
I've been using their products from Day One. I found out Melissa was a FAMU 🧡💚grad and spread the word to other alums. We support our Rattlers!🧡💚
Loved them since Shark Tank and happy they kept going.
Been using their products for a year. I noticed a friends lip color lasted through dinner. I had to have it.
This is so very encouraging to see & hear. I am in the process of starting a business & I have supplies & product EVERYWHERE - - it can be overwhelming...my house is filled to the point where space is extremely limited, but then, the orders come, the opportunities for displaying & selling my product happens. Looking at this, I have renewed focus & determination!!!
Good luck with your business
All the Best to you as you pursue your business.
Yes, this is very encouraging for me as well! I wish you success in your business!
Thank Roscoe for encouraging Melissa to fight the good fight. You had something phenomenal and I’m so glad that you kept going. You guys are truly an inspiration and I am a Huge Lip Bar Fan!!!!
So many women, especially women of color, endure similar ostracism and discrimination in attempts to make us quit, but we have to remind ourselves why we’re doing, whatever it is we’re doing and it is NOT for the haters/oppressors✊🏽
Love them, I cheer every time I see them getting recognition. So inspiring AND the products are cruelty-free and vegan! Yes, queens!
I never knew lipstick could be vegan. It's nothing I ever thgt about.

🎉😊 Congrats ladies! I'm proud to have been a part of this journey ✨️
How dare they tell someone to give up and quit if they didn't want it, okay those are the breaks but to try and crush someone shame on them. Never ever listen to anyone that tells you to quit on anything. Show them your behind and go be great, just like these ladies did. Praise God!
I recall the Sharks (one in particular) being so harsh and disrespectful. I'm proud these women didn't give into the negative feedback. The Sharks could have potentially been the reason they let their dream die. The power of self-belief, determination and fierceness is to be reckoned with. There are dream killers who live amongst us. Never, Never allow anyone to kill your dreams or life vision.
Ladies in red - gorgeous! So happy they didn't take no for an answer
I love it, a "Proper" business! There is so much strength in numbers. This is what happens when we pull together and do what we know is right for us. Way to let wall Street know that they need us, we don't need them! So many examples of courage, strength, determination support and community. I love you sooo much Rosco, I want to be like you when I grow up 💄💋❤and you too Melissa.💄🌹
There was a blessing in the rejection!
Bravo ladies, to God be the glory for the things he has done in you’ll lives.
Bawse Lady is the official color of my nonprofit's staff. I love the Lip Bar.
Those toothless sharks🙄. I’m shocked at the fubu guy that he didn’t see their vision when they have that hiphop hustle spirit. Our ancestor's consistently took scraps + ideas and turned them into success - we are amazing! God gives us everything we need to win, we just gotta believe in Him and ourselves. #thelipbar💄💋
He’s a successful BM and the reality is a lot of successful BM don’t support BW. #truthhurts
@@marriejames01 Right, not until things go bad then they go crying to BW for help. 🤦🏾♀
That's my go to lipstick. I purchase many of their products. You go girls❤
That's how business goes. Some fail and some become successful. There are businesses that succeed when no one thought they would and vice versa. Congrats!
I remember this episode too but it’s a blessing they denied them and i say that bc they prolly have a fine print and they take a bigger cut. So since they did it themselves, it prolly works better
Nice to see Melissa’s business partner. Every other interview I’ve only seen Melissa. Glad they got to keep their ownership and happy to see they’re doing so well!
Thank God they didn't let them break there soul. Keep on rolling on ladies ❤
I remember their episode! Kudos to you ladies!!!! Thanks for being a great example
Congratulations 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 I applaud you that you did not give up and you kept preserving. Shark Tank's rejection was the fuel added to your 🔥 🔥🔥
My favorite makeup 💄 line!
I remember them and the one shark called them cockroaches and I was appalled. I’m sooooo happy for them
Congratulations Ladies!! The Universe rewarded you for your hard work and determination!!😊
I wear the "Bawse Lady" lip matt everyday! I love this brand and I love the sisters. God bless and may you PROSPER in ALL things!!
My favorite lip liner is by Lip Bar called: Straight No Chaser😊
Never give up on your dreams! There will always be naysayers. You need to be your biggest cheerleader!
So Happy For Them To God Be The GlORY🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️
So so happy for you two. Fantasstic! Nothing can stop an inner drive, a knowing!
Never heard of them until now. Just placed my order💄.
Every body on that stage is beautiful! I love LIP BAR.❤

This goes to show Noone can see your vision clearer than you can.
I love The Lip Bar products!
So proud of these sisters for there determination and grind bc look at them now starting out had to be rough especially after public shame but you stepped on there necks and used that as fuel bc you were laser focused and they let no weapon formed against them prosper and yes got my lipgloss ❤❤❤
I love their products!❤
Me, too☺
Who sells them and what's the name

Awesome Job Sisters ❤❤❤
Mr. Wonderful is getting cancelled because he called these women Cockroaches! We are not standing for such disrespect. It is the Principle, how dare He call these women such filthy insects!!!!!!
Leave Mr. Wonderful to God...He knows how best to "deal" with him!
He called a lot of people roaches
That’s how he talks , he always call people a roach , no matter the color or sex
Get over it. 10 years ago
He is a certified hater! ❤ they only serve a purpose to make us greater ❤
They were called cockroaches on the show by one of the shark tank members how sick, that was deep, and I believe racist he should have been made a public apology Does he call all people cockroaches when he is not interested in the product. I am so happy for them they don't have to split any of their profits with that loser.
The only makeup I use! 💄 And glosses in every color. I love them.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉
So happy for them! I remember how much they 💩 on them in the episode.Shark Tank were so rude!
I’m so happy the ladies didn’t allowed ANYONE to break their confidence. LOVE the lipstick!! WOW!
Kudos to them!!! ❤️
Love, love, love the Lip Bar...I saw that episode and was distraught for you both, but look what the Lord has done!✝️💃🏾💃🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
I'm so happy for them. The sky's the limit !!!
LOVE LIP BAR!!!! I'm they were determined to make it happen. I always get compliments on my lip color. ❤❤❤
I'm from Detroit, have met Melissa before and she is a true sweetheart we are so proud of her! 💖
Congratulations Ladies
The perfect example of it's never too late to achieve your goals.
Congratulations Ladies❤! We always have to follow our dreams no matter what anyone says.
GOD always has the final say congratulations 🎉ladies
Congratulations Beautiful ladies!!!!!!❤❤
They look fantastic. As a client I love their products.
“Don’t Let No One Dictate Your Life, Unless The Lord Tells Yo”🎉!!!
The sharks don't always get it right. They turned down the guy that created The Ring Doorbell which is now worth over $1Billion
Awesome story! I feel their JOY and pain. Beautiful is only skin deep. You have to have a heart ❤ They have it!!!
I love their products and this story!
Good for them‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Because I felt like Mr. Wonderful’s comments were extremely offensive and it came out racists the way he said it. I’m so glad for this happily ever after ending
Yasss ladies, we as Black women have to stick together! Iam glad they never gave up! Black Girl Magic!
Can we talk about the lady in the audience, who appears on screen at 5:300. The black lady in the purple flower shirt! She is beautiful??? Her skin, her hair and her smile is everything. She would be good to promote their business or anyone else. Gorgeous Ms. Lade!!!!!
Congratulations ladies all your hard work playing off living proof you take one step GOD Takes two,what God has for you is for you amazing.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations ladies!!
Long overdue, and it’s a Godawful shame! Congratulations, ladies!
Resilient, hope, and committed. Congratulations!😊
I can’t stand shark tank … those people are vultures. Congratulations ladies! Black women are indeed MAGIC
Thank you ladies for your products. I love them !
Inspiring. I passed her brand in target a month ago and said I will be there next. I will buy something. I always stare at her brand, Rihanna fenty, and other women brands. I support women in general regardless of race but it’s special to me when a woman who looks like me conquer the world and other minority colored women. I had stopped watching shark tank and haven’t watched since 2018 tbh. I feel with the right resources or what not you can make it without huge investors like that.
Such an inspiring story! I feel so inspired!
Great Testimony!!!!!!!! God is real! Beautiful inspiration to so many people! Congratulations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great interview!💕
Congrats ladies!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Oh I love the Lip Bar. Bawse Lady is the perfect red for brown skin. Curlfriend is a beautiful rose especially if you edge it in the brown matte lipstick called Low Key and fade it out. So gorgeous. Or do the same with Man Eater which is a nude color and Low Key.
That dress of Tamron's is absolutely gorgeous.
Congratulations ladies 👑👑😘🙏🏾🙌🏾
I have been using it for a while. Love this lipstick!
This is so Awesome
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations 🎊 👏 ladies ❤❤❤❤ more to you!!!
Way to go ladies!❤❤
I don't remember the feedback but I remember this brand!!!
