1. What was the inspiration behind creating Vénti Cosmetics? Vénti is a break down of my name. Veronica Ni'cole Timms pronounced (V-N-T). Vénti will represent everything that I'm passionate about.

2. Did you have a hard time finding a manufacturer? When I worked at Sally Beauty,I met a customer that I developed a relationship with. She would come into the store looking for me to help her find eyelashes. Her family manufactured eyelashes.She was waiting for her shipment but in the meantime she needed my help. She always loved my lashes and trusted my opinion. Long story short, she introduced me to her people out of China.
