MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, April 15, 2015 /PressReleasePing/ - Ross, 22, knew at an early age that creating her own cosmetics line was in her future. With a talent for makeup artistry, she set her sights for MUD (Make-up Designory) in Burbank, California, from where she graduated in 2012. Already a licensed cosmetologist and alternative model, her passion for blending custom colors for clients was one inspiration for creating her own line.

As a long time animal lover, "It was important to me that my line contain all vegan ingredients," she says. "Experience as a makeup artist has taught me which ingredients I like to work with, and I knew exactly which vegan ingredients I wanted to incorporate in my line. I resource from all vegan certified suppliers to blend together the perfect pigments. I make new discoveries every day, and now have a gorgeous lipstick color, created by blending two of the eye shadow pigments from my Cosmic Collection palette."

In addition to her passion for makeup artistry, Ross has found another creative outlet: jewelry design. WanderLust creations is an online store, with a variety of hand-made jewelry created by the artisan.

What's next? This dynamic diva currently has a live Kickstarter, launched in an effort to obtain funding for supplies and ingredients, so she can fulfill pre-orders. A variety of her current products are available as perks for supporters.

The release of Plenilune Magazine, Volume III, a quarterly publication, featuring models like Audrey Kitching and Kelly Eden, which have an edgy, avant-garde ethereal look they gracefully lend to the magazine's vibe, is due out later this month. "Role models like Audrey Kitching, Kandee Johnson, and Sophia Amoruso have taught me a lot throughout their journey. I hope to use their lessons learned to help enable the future of my dreams," states Ross.
