Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
I am Veronica Mayo and I am a wife, mother and former American Airlines executive. I was packing for one of my business trips and became frustrated that the inside of my cosmetic bag was so dirty. I attempted to clean out the make-up stains and oils (but as we all know you can never really get the inside of your cosmetic bag clean). I decided right then and there that the world needed a new type of cosmetic bag--one with a removable liner.

In 2007 I left the corporate world and began the process of bringing my vision for a beautiful and functional cosmetic bag to life. Vemayca and the Vemayca cosmetic bag was launched in 2009. Now busy moms and ladies on the go can keep the inside of their cosmetic bags fresh and clean always. Plus I love my make-up and wanted women everyhere to have a beautiful and stylish bag for their wonderful cosmetics!

When I started this journey, I believed it would be a lot easier. Being an entrepreneur requires a lot of hard work, confidence and passion. I am happy that I chose this path for a second career and hope that I can be a role model to other women (especially those over 50). It can be done!
