About Me

I’m Yolanda Keil. I am a dreamer/former blogger and runway stylist/costumer/entrepreneur.  

🖤 The Glosslinz™ Integrity Standard

At Glosslinz, every product is crafted with a deep respect for skin, integrity, and self-expression.
We believe beauty should never require a compromise.

Our formulas prioritize:
✔️ Non-volatile, non-sensitizing ingredients
✔️ Skin-nourishing oils and film-formers
✔️ Thoughtful textures that enhance, not irritate
✔️ Handcrafted quality — made fresh, not mass-produced

The result is a product that glides on like a gloss, sets naturally, and honors the skin it rests on.

No shortcuts. No compromise. Just pigment, performance, and purpose — powered by integrity.

— The Glosslinz™ Standard

“The glow isn’t just surface-level. It’s a declaration.

It’s not just about how you show up. It’s how you treat yourself before you do ...

It’s Indulgence without apology.”


Some Facts About Me:

    • I’m not the norm. I’m a rules-learned, rules-rewritten type.
    •  I have had eczema, with chronic flare ups, since I was five. I created my serums for my super-sensitive skin because so many commonly-used ingredients triggered flareups.I studied abroad in France (Cannes + Paris) — it expanded my world permanently.
    • I marched in Mardi Gras parades.

    • I was on the Air Force ROTC drill team freshman year at UF (yes — rifles, spins, and precision). I respected it… then realized it wasn’t my lane. (Rebel behavior, confirmed.)

    • I’m energized by other creatives — collaboration is fuel.

    • I have an image consulting background (trained via an accredited course approved by AICI) and volunteered with Dress for Success style seminars.

    • My marketing + web background includes roles like Consultant, Online Communications Editor, SEO/Analytics Lead, Associate Marketing Manager — different titles, same strength: I bring a fresh eye and spot opportunities fast.

    • I taught myself HTML to control my old blog’s look and feel — and I still customize this site myself.

    • I learned sewing to support work projects (machine when I must)… but I prefer hand stitching.


 The Background Story:

I started with alterations and became obsessed with transformation — not “perfect,” but intentional.

At one point, I reworked almost my entire closet — taking rarely worn pieces and converting them into a sustainable collection of deconstructed, funky originals I actually wanted to wear. That evolved into accessories too. Every piece had a story — and the storytelling made the work more personal.

That collection became a wearable portfolio: proof of my stylist’s eye.
