Hey guys, I'm Lisa Kota Dixon, and I'm so excited to be kicking off the sheer

Lux, My Life in Beauty success story, sponsored by Space NK, with a woman whose story is going to inspire all of us. It is the amazing

Anastasia Swaree of Anastasia Beverly Hills fame. I'm so excited to be with you. I am so excited to

be here. London. I love London. Yeah, it's a great place. We've been talking about how we both

have a love for partying, which is always fun.

Work hard and party hard. Absolutely. That is what life should be about. Exactly. No halfway.

Completely. So this story of yours, I mean, it really is incredible. And I'm sure you never get bored of telling it because ultimately it is a huge success story.

And I suppose we have to start the story with brows.

Because you are the brow queen. You're the reason that brows were put on the radar.

I mean, in my opinion, obviously as a makeup artist, we have always understood the importance of brows, but not everyone did.

So should we start from the beginning? How did that begin?

Well, so number one, thank you so much for having me. Number two, I like to share my story

for a few reasons. I'm really proud of what I build, but most importantly, I want to share this to kind of

give that, that kick to every woman that wants to do something, has a passion for something,

and could be beauty or could be anything else, to not be afraid to go and do it.

Don't listen, if you believe in your dream, go and do it.

So that's why I want to share my story because I had a dream, I believed in something.

In the early 90s, when nobody believed in eyebrows, I was able to pursue this and really

work hard in it. It wasn't easy. I have to say it's not easy,

but it's so amazing to do what you love. Oh, completely. I feel like that is what life is about.

Yes. So you originally born in Romania? I was born in Romania. I emigrated in end of 1989. And I, because I didn't speak the language,

I went to beauty school and was kind of the only job that didn't require perfect English.
