LUV + CO. Cosmetic Consultants are independent business owners that have joined our beauty consultant program and are therefore authorized to sell products on the LUV + CO. website. Beauty consultants operate their own business as independent contractors or affiliates and are not employees. Beauty consultants wear, share and sell LUV + CO. products through virtual parties or events, in-person events or parties, sharing on social media or 1:1 virtual or in person consultations. Beauty consultants excited about the products we offer earn a commission on sales. They do not hold inventory like wholesalers and do not sell product in brick and mortar venues or other e-commerce platforms (such as Etsy, Amazon or their own e-comm sites). Each beauty consultant receives their own LUV + CO website upon enrollment in our program. Please read the in-depth terms and conditions form upon enrolling for more explanation.

However, you may decide (optional) to purchase testers of our products to have at your home to test and share in person or on social media. Testers are included in our starter kits.

LUV + CO. is the only "for us by us" direct sales company. We are 100% black owned and the only color cosmetics direct sales company exclusive to clean beauty that centers the beauty and wellness needs of women of color. We also specialize in product development for brown and black skin tones, skin issues and hair textures. We represent our culture visually in all we do on all platforms. We make it a point to hire people of color and work with suppliers and vendors that are people of color (models, graphic desigers, suppliers, etc.). In short, the black beauty dollars are recycled into our community.
