FAVORITE BLACK WOMEN -OWNED BRANDS
SKINCARE
Bolden Clear Skin Kit - This is my new skincare set, and it has everything you need from a gentle clarifying facial cleanser, toner, night serum, and moisturizer with SPF! This set is made from women of color with hyperpigmentation skin, and it works. My skin loves it. I have sensitive skin that drys out easily with harsh products but not with this brand.
Base Butter- Radiate Face Jelly- This facial cream is amazing and goes on like butter! With this face jelly, a little goes a long way. The description says its formula is created to rejuvenate, which I feel with its Aloe Vera ingredient.
LIPS
The Lip Bar- Liquid Matte- Rebel, Bawse Lady, and Savage are in my weekly rotation. All of the colors are rich in color, long-lasting, and the perfect consistency. I have had other brands that require me to put on multiple coats to get the color I want but not with Lip Bar. Also, the PRICE is everything. It’s $13 and the price is a bargain. You can find this brand in selected Target! Any reason to go to Target is always good with me.
HEADWRAPS
The Wrap Life - The ribbed stretch is my favorite style, but to be honest, I love them all! The printed flow is beautiful as well. The wraps are made with high-quality material and vibrant colors. I promise you will find the perfect look for you, from bandies, turbanettes, and wraps. You will be able to find various tutorials on their website and you can check out my tutorial on my YouTube for the look in this picture.
Wonsii Wraps - If you are looking for a wrap that does it all, this is your brand. Wonsii has quicktorials to show you how to get a new look in minutes. Each style comes with a bow, knot, and rose attachment with pre-made tails to easily slide each attachment. It takes all the work out of the process, and if I can get time back doing my hair, then I am all for it.
JEWELRY
Oma The Label- The Sadie Rings I love these rings; the stacked look is my favorite. I have the round stone and rectangular sone, and they look so good together. The packaging is cute too! It comes with the perfect pouch to keep your rings clean and shining bright.
JLANI- Bardot Earrings and AJA Hoops I am going to be real, I love stud earrings; they have always been my go-to. I wanted to switch things up, and I am so glad I did. I have these two hoops, and I love the rectangular ones, it’s a fun look, and I always get compliments on them.
HAIR PRODUCT
Taliah Waajid The Green Apple & Aloe is my go-to collection, the Shampoo, Leave-in Conditioner, and Curl Exilir. When I do my twist out, I grab the Curly Curl Cream . To see how I use the product and bounce it gives my curls, check out my Hair Wash Routine.
Mielle- Rosemary Mint Scalp and Hair Strengthing Oil- I heard such great reviews for this brand and after using this oil, I quickly became a fan. This is another brand made by black women who know the oils we need for hair growth. I used this oil 3 times a week and massaged it into my thinning spots along my hairline and it made a difference. You can find it at your local Target.
CANDLES
Sukie’s Candles Grapefruit Mint, White Tea + Berries, and Seattle Fir are my favorite scents. The owner of Sukie’s sent me three candles as a gift and it has been my go-to candle at my desk ever since. The candle has a burn time of 40 hours which is key for me. The natural scents used are beautiful, like who doesn’t want their house to smell like White Tea & Berries? I highly recommend this candle for your bath time, office, house, and a gift.
