hello friends welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome my name is christine
today i'm super excited to partner with sephora to do a video all about black owned beauty brands
that you should know some of my favorite and my number one product from every single brand that
i'm going to talk about before we go ahead and dive in make sure you hit the subscribe
button if you haven't already also hit that little notification bell that lets you know
every time i post a new video every tuesday and thursday you definitely don't want to miss out
without further ado let's go ahead and jump right into it this video is sponsored by
sephora if you didn't already know i'm actually a partner in this year's sephora squad i've been
a part of the squad now technically for two and a half years and i am super proud i love sephora i
probably go in and look at some of the brands and some of the new arrivals there like once
a week maybe once every other week but i go there often okay so today i have some black owned beauty
brands i'm really excited to talk about the first brand i want to talk about is actually new to me
i've been getting a little bit more into hair care and stuff like that and i just
feel like this brand the packaging and aesthetic is just absolutely stunning
and it definitely drew me in and i feel like sitting on my vanity looks so stinking pretty
oh my god to me it kind of smells like candy and gummy bears in the best way possible it
just smells very sweet fun and playful this is the bread beauty supply hair oil everyday gloss this
product is really a do it all hair oil that is great for all hair types if you have one straight
thick curly thin hair i think you'll absolutely love this and i actually did
get my hair done yesterday i was actually at sephora studios filming with their team
and you guys will see those videos soon enough but i'm excited for you to see them
it actually comes with a little screw top and you can just apply it straight into your hands and
i have pretty dry hair i have like really thick dry hair so i feel like i can use this oil like
every single day and still get away with it but um i just apply a couple of drops
to the ends of my hair and it smells so good i wish you guys could smell it but it instantly
makes my hair feel so soft and silky to the touch and i did have a little bit of
frizziness beforehand and if you have any extra frizzies up here you can kind of just
lightly brush your hands along to help reduce any of that so my hair now smells amazing it's
ultra shiny and so soft looking and if you've been looking for a new hair oil definitely
recommend that one another product that i want to talk about while we are on the subject of hair
is this a draw beauty blue tandy reparative mask so this is a hair mask that helps you strengthen
and repair for damage or color treated hair and for me i just like using a hair mask once
a week and i feel like it helps to preserve the health of my hair it makes it look extra shiny
and hydrated i also tie my hair up a lot and i heat style it and using a hair mattress really
helps to repair any of that damage keeps your hair looking really really healthy oh my gosh
it just smells like a fresh garden of flowers it reminds me of like spring and summer time and
especially for hair products i love floral scents for me body fragrances and perfumes i usually
prefer a little bit more of an earthy woody scent but i'm all over the floral really like
pretty fresh smelling scent and this one definitely is all of that on sephora's website
it says that this hair mask helps to strengthen damaged hair enhances shine and reduces frizz and
improves curl definition if any of you guys have curly hair and you've tried this has it improved
your curls or definition let us know down below in the comments for me personally i can't speak
to that because i have like really straight hair it is a little bit silent so there's like a little
bit of a wave going on but coming straight out of the shower my hair is very very straight but
it is very hydrating packaging is so cute and i feel like a lot of products come in here and you
do not need a whole lot when you use it so this is going to last me a really long time
okay i feel like i'm kind of talking a lot so we need to breeze through this speaking of products
that smell amazing jackie aina started a brand called forever mood and i've been a supporter
of her for so long and was so proud when she announced that she was launching at sephora and
this is probably the best smelling candle i've ever smelled this is in the scent cuffing season
packaging is very luxe and heavy and i feel like candles are the ultimate gift idea because who
doesn't love candles i'm constantly going through them so whenever i get a new one i get really
excited and i just feel like it really helps to elevate a space makes it feel and look high-end
but also makes the space smell amazing so i love gifting candles i love getting ones for myself and
i just love jackie aina as a person i love to support her and she has a lot of different
candle scents i'm definitely curious about but this one it smells incredible i can't even
i can't even like place what it smells like it kind of smells like earthy and woody with a little
touch of floral in there so it's a really nice and balanced scent it almost reminds me of like malibu
you would imagine how malibu smells in like the fall winter time this is what it smells like to me
so this candle has notes of fresh ozone iris and douglas fir see what i said about floral and woody
i was right it's described as a fresh floral scent has notes of salty lemon touches of violet
and jasmine and deep breaths of douglas fir so that i feel like is the perfect way to describe it
i'm so excited to burn this it's so pretty so maybe i'll wait until like christmas season or
something like that and treat myself because i'm obsessed another brand that i'm really excited
about when this brand first launched on sephora i wanted to try everything because of the packaging
this is the lys beauty higher standard satin matte cream blush this one is in the shade passion i've
used it quite a few times now and honestly when i first got this i was a little bit intimidated by
the color because i don't normally reach for blushes this shade but once it's blended out
it looks so flush and so pretty and i feel like if you are a little bit of a deeper skin tone and you
struggle with having cream blushes show up on you i think you absolutely adore this this is really
really pigmented when i first used this i made the mistake of using too much so you really need the
tiniest about i actually prefer using my fingers because it helps to warm up the product a little
bit more and it makes a little bit more emollient and easier to blend out but i've also used just
a straight brush but it is such a pretty creamy easy to blend blush and it's super pigmented like
i said so i feel like this is going to last me a really long time all the packaging is so stinking
cute so definitely want to try more from this brand now we're going to go into some of the speed
favorites i recently got the sephora favorites box and this is actually all black owned beauty brands
and i love this box and what's also great about this is any of the purchases on this box each
purchase supports the 15 pledge so i think that's amazing i think it's such a great way to support
black owned brands and such a fun cute little discovery set i'm kind of scared it's going
to fall out but look how cute that is so i actually have um the audra hair mask and the red
hair oil are both in here and then there are also some other brands i was going to talk about
already so there we go so we have the ryoji don't respare deep conditioning mask this is such
a good deeply hydrating hair mask and okay yeah so i have the this is the blue tandy reparative mask
and then in here is the ajwa bow mint deep conditioning treatment so this is slightly
different so definitely excited to try that also oh my god it's really in there
look how cute that is it's like oh my god it's like a little mini i feel like this
would be perfect to travel with and i love that everything in here is a mini except for the pat
mcgrath lipstick and the fenty mascara and then we also have the shiny garden retinol which i
was going to talk about as well we have the fenty skin cleanser and i just feel like this is such
a great kit i feel like sephora makes some of the best kids because you really do get a lot
of value for your money and it's such a fun way to try brands teams and all that stuff that you
are interested in so that is a really cute little box hopefully it's still available okay next brand
that i want to talk about is shawnee darden i have here the retinol and i've been using this now for
i almost want to say like two months i only use retinol every once every week and i am
26 but i feel like incorporating retinol is so important because it helps for skin turnover
it helps to prevent signs of aging and i just feel like it makes retinols one of those things that
makes the biggest difference in my skin it just helps my texture makes my skin look really smooth
and plump retinol is also kind of a chemical exfoliant so if you suffer from texture
or acne or anything like that it also helps for that so highly recommend this retinol it is super
gentle sometimes i've used retinols that like break me out or too rough on my skin
but this one is really really gentle it makes me really interested in trying the rest of her
skincare because i've heard good things about the brand overall but the retinol is definitely
a best seller and i was not disappointed by it at all next brand for me that i love
is pat mcgrath and for me it was so hard to pick just one item from the brand i absolutely love so
i had to pick two so i have here the skin fetish sublime perfection foundation i have the shade 13
light medium and this is my perfect shade when i'm a little bit deeper skin tone i can use 14
or 15 but 13 is like my all over year-round perfect skin tone this is probably one of my
favorite foundations of all time if i were to get married this is probably the foundation i'm gonna
wear for photos videos it photographs really well it's really lightweight and doesn't look
heavy on the skin but it still gives me a good amount of coverage and a really pretty skin like
finish so i really love this i would say it's 100 worth the money and it lives in my makeup bag
at all times another favorite for mine i know that foundation is a little bit expensive so if
you just wanted to dip your toes into trying pat mcgrath i really love this lip liner and i am such
a lip liner i will spend good money on one lip liner if it's a perfect shade for me and i could
just use it for everything and this is actually the lip liner that i have on my lips right now
it is the perfect like brownie nude shade and it's a little bit deeper than mine so
it really helps me to overline my lips if you have been struggling to find a lip liner that
is like a little bit more brown and nude and not too pink for you this one is 100 worth the money
stays all day makes my lips look amazing super comfortable non-drying or anything like that and
one of the best lip liners i have in my collection next brand i want to talk about is fenty beauty
i love fenty beauty i love their makeup they're probably one of my favorite makeup brands
that's flora which is bold and i am cheating a little bit because i have two different
products but i feel like there's fenty beauty and then fenty skin so they're different okay
so my favorite product from fenty beauty right now because i feel like it's always
changing is the eavesdrop and this is actually a blurring skin tint i have it in the shade 10 and
i think i recently did a tutorial with the skin tent i'll go ahead and link it up in the corner
if i did if i'm not mistaken but this is a really good light to medium buildable coverage skin tint
very comfortable on and i feel like unlike my other skin tins this one is a little bit more
of a dewy finish so if you have normal to dry skin i think you will love this but i have really oily
skin and i still love it it's perfect for days where i'm not gonna be out for like eight to ten
plus hours but just like a quick little situation i want my skin to look really healthy and glowy
and i just love that it's super comfortable on and so easy to blend out gives me like really
lightweight coverage which i really enjoy and then the fenty skin moisturizer this is actually a
moisturizer with spf in it and it's my second bottle of it i went through a whole bottle of
reading i feel like you kind of get a whole lot in there and i haven't finished a sunscreen in a
really long time so that just tells you how much i love this it is a moisturizer and sunscreen in one
so it is ultra hydrating and in the summer it's like too heavy for me but in the colder months the
fall winter maybe a little bit of the spring i can get away with using it because it makes my skin
look amazing like there is no other moisturizer spf that makes my skin look like this i think
there's like tiny little shimmers or flecks or something in this that makes my skin look so glowy
dewy and healthy and it passes the two finger roll no white cast and i just love that it's
a moisturizing sunscreen all in one because it makes my skin routine so quick and easy
if you have dry skin and you've been looking for a new moisturizer spf you need to have this
in your collection it's a need the last product that i want to talk about is riojio i have been
a long time fan of brazio for years and this is probably my favorite product that they have
so this is the scalp revival charcoal and coconut oil micro exploding shampoo listen okay
i suffer from a dry scalp i get those dandruff flakes in the winter time it's just like an
inevitable thing for me especially because i lately have been working out a lot and i don't
wash my hair every single day i probably wash it like every two to three days so
this stuff is magic and it really helps to fight off any of the dandruff or flakes that i have and
it's really great if you have dry scalp issues as well it kind of has like a minty feel on it and
is a shampoo so when i'm going to take a shower obviously i wet my hair and then i'll put like
a big group of that into my hand and massage it into my scalp and you can feel your scalp
start to tingle it has a really like minty and refreshing scent but also it's kind of like
herbal smelling in like a really good way like it kind of smells like lavender and sage i don't know
rosemary i don't know it smells really good and it makes such a big difference in my scalp after
i rinse it off my scalp feels really soothed refreshed not itchy at all and i cannot live
without this this is my second tub of this and the only reason why i haven't gone through more is
i've been trying to test out other hair brands and stuff like that so i've kind of weaned off of it a
little bit but honestly if i could just use one scalp shampoo for the rest of my life it would
be this one so that brings to the end of this video i hope you guys enjoyed this big roundup
