hi babe! my name is Liliana Provencial, and I am a 25-year-old mom of 1 and a military spouse. I was born and raised in Northwest Florida, now currently reside in Oklahoma, and I've been a business owner for over 6 years. crafting cosmetics and body care products by hand has been the core of my adulthood and is truly my passion. I love being able to create a product that not only addresses something that's missing in someone's skincare / beauty routine, but that also helps them feel beautiful and confident just the way they are.
but when I became a mom, I realized 2 things: 1. I didn't want to be known for just one thing, and 2. I have way more than just one passion or just one skill to offer. being a business owner has taught me how to wear many hats and fulfill multiple roles, and it honestly prepared me for the many roles and responsibilities I would later fulfill in motherhood.
one day, I asked myself a very important question: if I'm already designing my own product labels and social media graphics for Silkish Beauty, why not do it for others? and if I'm already illustrating as a second business... why not put that creativity towards another passion project: a poetry book?
hence the birth of With Love by Liliana Provencial. because why have just one professional passion when I can have three? ♡
July 2019
the beginning
I started out as Lovebug Cosmetiics in July of 2019, in a corner of my bedroom. with Dollar Tree plastic bowls, 5 lipgloss colors, and a vision, the journey began. the business generated 200+ sales & shipped to over half of the US & 6 additional countries. fun fact: our current glossy lip glaze is one of our only products that has remained unchanged since going from Lovebug to Silkish.
November 2020
closing a chapter
once COVID hit in early 2020, we took a huge dive in sales and engagement. our progress as a business was halted. subsequently, I broke off a long-term relationship right in the middle of the chaos. this inevitably caused the closure of Lovebug Cosmetiics at the end of the year. little did I know that it would not be the end for long...
December 2021
starting anew
after meeting my now-husband in early 2021, he gave me the encouragement and support that I needed to give entrepreneurship another try. I successfully sold the remainder of my Lovebug inventory and rebranded to what you all now know as Silkish Beauty on December 10th, 2021.
September 2023
relocation
in September 2023, we packed our bags and moved from Florida to Oklahoma. at the time, I was 25 weeks pregnant, but optimistic about starting my business over in a new community!
September 2025
designer extraordinaire
in September 2024, I began LiliPad Designs after being chosen to design a t-shirt for a local business owner summit. since then, I've worked with over 30 design clients on their branding needs, including a book cover, multiple t-shirt and logo designs, and much more.
december 2025
dream come true
as of our 4-year anniversary in December 2025, we have shipped to almost every state in the US (including Puerto Rico), and 5 international countries. we've also received 500+ website sales, 700+ local vendor sales, and 20+ wholesale and consignment / brick-and-mortar collaborations.
january 2025
a new venture
now, I am set to launch my debut poetry book on January 24th, 2025. this book contains all of the poetry I've been writing over the last 10 years, since I was 15 years old. it will also contain all of my personal illustrations. every heartbreak, every piece of vulnerability, every moment of joy... carefully curated into a journey of womanhood. I'm really looking forward to sharing it with all of you!
