If you’re a wash and go girlie like myself (I’m somewhere between 3c/4a) and are looking to consolidate the amount of products you use without sacrificing the look and hold you want, this stuff works. I typically combine with The Deaux Big Poppa gel ...
808 Base Gel 12oz
Wash-n-go setting gel GOAT 🐐!!!
BIG POPPA Defining Gel™ 16oz
Skin
If you’re a die-hard Dr. Bronner’s fan or like H-E-B’s Renpure (for my central Texas girlies) you’ll love this. First discovered this at a Pop-Shelf but also available on Amazon. Almond is my favorite scent, but they have tons of other great scents. ...
Dr. Natural
We go together real bad. The only spf moisturizer I use. Tried and true. No white cast 🤞🏾.
Toleriane Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30
To all my oily girlies!!! Listennnnn, lock in with her nowww!! I pair this with a mattifying primer for the absolute best results and stay pretty matte all day, even in this hot and humid Texas weather (will post a rec for the primer later!)
Pearlessence Oil Control Face Serum with Niacinamide & Vitamin C (2)
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE ONE!!! The perfect balance of cream and oil that leaves your skin feeling deliciously buttery and smooth all day. Not greasy either. This has become a must-have staple for me!
Ulta Beauty
Flamingo + Glow Getter = Luxurious skin all. day. long. 😍
Daily Moisturizing Lotion - Hydrates up to 24 Hours | Flamingo
I got this as a gift at a white elephant Christmas party. TBH, not sure what’s in this stuff but it is quite magical. Won’t catch me without a bottle of this somewhere around. Also comes in travel size. 🙌🏾
Beauty Elixir - Caudalie
Intimate Care
The brightening scrub, yoni oil, and peach yoni wash are all 10/10, highly recommend. Black-owned brand. I use regularly to help reduce dark spots and I grown hairs and works really well!
Glo Melanin
If you struggle with ingrown hairs after waxing, you definitely need this. Works really well and paired with the glo melanin bundle, I’ve had great results!
PFB Ultra
Makeup 💄
Adds an almost filter-like layer of perfection and helps keep me matted all day. Doesn’t make me cough after spraying it on either, which is an added bonus!
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
The most whimsical palette ever!! 🎨😍 Love these vibrant, super pigmented colors. Great for everything from cosplay makeup, to special occasion glam, or just a day you feel like being a lil extra. I LOVE Danessa DOWN!
Lightwork VII Freedom Palette
Currently my favorite foundation. I definitely have to make sure I use mattifying primers underneath to keep the oil at bay, including the Danessa Myrick’s blurring balm to set it, but you can’t beat the buttery smooth coverage.
Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation
Literally want these in every shade — crème brule is my first love but these all eat. I don’t know what I’ve been using on my lips before — s/o to my homegirl Johnné for putting me on to yet another staple product.
