A Special Place
The No Doubt frontwoman traveled to her birthplace of Anaheim, California for the event. She picked Mama Cozza's Italian Restaurant as the venue -- a place near and dear to her heart as she said it's where her parents had their first date.
"This is the restaurant we grew up coming to," Stefani said in a video posted to her Instagram Story and was joined by her brother Todd. "Gloria Cozza was in Girl Scouts with me, and we have taken over for the GXVE Beauty launch. This is insane and weβre gonna actually go to the kitchen and get pizza after."
On Creating Her Brand
While there, Stefani gave a heartfelt speech about her brand.
"I feel like every single thing I've ever done in my entire life β and I'm speaking from my heart and my truth β it has led to this moment," she said.
On why she picked Anaheim, the singer explained, "This is where it all started. I grew up here in Anaheim."
She continued, "I felt like because this feels like definitely the next chapter of my life, and I've prayed about this."
Recalling The Past
The mother of three also said she "was obsessed with makeup [her] entire life," which inspired her to make GXVE Beauty. She then described how she worked as "a makeup girl behind the counter" before becoming successful in her music career.
"The thing is, is that I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, but I don't think I knew that it was even a thing that you could do back in those times," Stefani admitted. "Like in the '90s, we did music. And we did that for nine years before we were on the radio. Like we were never trying to do anything. We were just being who we were."
A Proud Husband
As for her husband, he has been supportive all the way. On February 27, Shelton posted one of Stefani's videos to his feed and captioned the share with:
"I'm so incredibly proud of you @gwenstefani!!!! Y'all get ready.. tell everyone you know.. @gxvebeauty is coming!!!!!"
According to the brand's official page, GXVE is pronounced as "give" and the way it's written "was inspired by how @gwenstefani has signed her name since high school... Gx (Gwen with a π).β£"
