Makeup has always been a mystery to me. As a woman that refuses to convert to contacts, my heart skips a beat at the thought of putting anything near my eyes. Why would any sane person, take hours to pile on ounces of foundation, get carpal tunnel from blending four different eyeshadows, and almost poke an eye out just to make their lashes resemble the bottom of a broom. Like everything else in the world, what we do not understand, we fear.
As I turned 30, I began to tackle my fear of makeup in baby steps. I first experimented with lipstick; and quickly remembered how “color in the lines” is important. My lips were a big purple oval mess! I did not understand the purpose of lipliner… it was just a waste of money. After a couple more unsuccessful attempts, I decided play it safe with tinted lip balm. Although, I still could not “color in the lines”, it was less noticeable.
Next, was eyeshadow. My choices were never bold, such as blue or green; but purple. I learned about the cut crease and how to blend the lavenders, lilacs, and violets with the correct brush. I experimented with matte verses shimmer, and pressed powder verses cream. It was all fun and games, until I wanted a smokey eye. Black eyeshadow is not my friend! And foundation, do not even get me started: Liquid, cream, powder, cream-to-powder, and stick. There were so many different options, and then I had to determine my shade of caffeinated beverage or nut. Was I Coconut, Warm Coconut, Toasted Almond, Cappuccino, or Mocha? Here is a hint….? I am all five!
All this experimenting was time consuming and EXPENSIVE. I would clip coupons and cash in reward points, but I wanted to explore make-up without a huge upfront investment.

Why It Started
I founded Fierce Unlimited because I saw women trading and buying used high-end makeup on social media. I was in total disbelief that a person would buy used eyeshadow from a stranger! But to be honest, I understood reasoning. Whether you want to call it luxury, high-end, or prestige makeup….it is too expensive. A simple five shade eyeshadow kit can be upwards of $60. I knew there was a better alternative to trying luxury brand cosmetics without the risk of getting pink eye. In the summer of 2020, Fierce Unlimited was born.
What We Do
My mission began with finding prestige brands like Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, and tarte at steep discounts, so I could pass the savings to my customers. Clear standards were set when scouting for deals: Products must be authentic and in factory cases. Purchases must be made from authorized wholesalers in the United States. It was important to not purchase from outside the U.S. because it increases the chances of being sold counterfeit goods. Savings came in the from discontinued, overstock, and clearance products. Each company has their individual reasons why they discontinue a product, below are some of the most common:
Product packing- CoverGirl notoriously changed their makeup packaging to make it modern and sleek, a.k.a black and white.
Brand Ambassadors- Many companies will create a makeup line around a celebrity, such as Maybelline did with GiGi Hadid. When the contract ends, the makeup must go somewhere.
Overstock and clearance products gave us a chance to offer the same lipsticks and eyeshadows that you can find at your favorite makeup store at a fraction of the price.
