Meet Alexandria Davis | Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexandria Davis and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alexandria, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
In the beginning, I didn’t know where to start. I was unsure about every step to take to find a product but I pushed through my doubts and just started. As I continue my journey I am still sometimes stuck on where to start next. My company is still in the beginning stages but as I start my next step I plan to add team members so they can help me through my journey.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At AP Cosmetics, we take immense pride in being a black-owned beauty brand that goes beyond labels to deliver an unparalleled product experience. While our roots are deeply ingrained in the black community, what truly sets us apart is the exceptional quality of our color cosmetics products, thoughtfully designed to cater to individuals with darker skin tones. We believe that every individual, irrespective of their complexion, deserves access to a product that is both beneficial and valuable. We are still in the beginning stages of the company and are excited to add eye makeup and lipstick to the product line by Spring 2024. Each season our plan is to add 1-2 new products to the line until we can provide every cosmetic product a beauty connoisseur could ever need. We’ve learned a lot on this path to success but the most important lesson was testing your products and listening to your customers feedback can save you lots of money lol!!
We want the world to know we pride our selves on quality & inclusivity. Championing the beauty of all individuals.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were coming to visit me we would first get Chinese takeout from the local Chinese spot! What’s New York without Chinese food? We would go to Broadway and catch a show or 2 and then grab pizza after. We would eat Brunch at RestorationHardware and have Blue Ribbon for dinner. We definitely would have to shop so Soho is a must!! Food and shopping is on every corner in NY so I don’t think that would be an issue. There’s always a museum to hit up in NY so I’m sure we’d agree on something that would interest us.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I read the book Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, everyday. In a nutshell this book has helped me create and maintain my mindset for success. I want to thank my mother for her love, encouragement and belief in me. She truly believes in me and I feel it. My family as a whole is very supportive, full of positive and good hearted individuals. I am on the hunt for a great mentor to build a relationship with, soon come…
