Elevate Your Beauty Ritual: BIPOC Founded Favorites for the Holidays Pt. II
By: Karess Roseme
This holiday season, let’s infuse the spirit of giving with a meaningful touch by turning our attention to BIPOC founded brands. As we navigate the landscape of gifting, there’s a unique joy in selecting presents that not only bring delight to our loved ones but also support businesses built on diverse narratives and visions. Join us in this festive exploration as we unwrap the stories behind some incredible BIPOC-owned brands, offering a curated collection of gifts that spread joy and empowerment far beyond the holiday season.
Here are a few of my personal favorite items that make incredible gifts for this holiday season!
1. Pattern Blow Dryer
This award winning curl conscious blow dryer is incredible for all hair types, especially curly, coily, and tight textures. It’s sleek, lightweight, and comes with 4 attachments that lock into place!
2. Undefined Beauty R+R Day Serum
This lightweight serum is a must to add to anyone’s current skincare routine. It brightens, hydrates, refines pores, and helps to fade the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots. This magical serum is jammed back with incredible ingredients including vitamin C and tremella mushroom. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for any skincare enthusiast.
3. Fashion Fair Iconic Lipstick
Find the perfect holiday-shade of lipstick for your kiss under the mistletoe with Fashion Fair this year. Their Iconic Lipstick offers a full range of richly-pigmented colors, from gorgeous nudes to vibrant berries and reds, this lipstick will be your best accessory this Christmas.
4. ETANA New York Candle
Envelop your home with the scent of Holiday Magic with the hand-poured candles of Etana New York. These candles are coconut soy wax that permeate beautiful fragrances for up to 45 hours. My favorite scent this time of year is the Dry Gin Cypress + Christmas Hearth. A classic holiday scent that tells the story of a cozy holiday night spent with loved ones sipping wine in front of the fireplace.
5. Qhemet Biologics Supplement
Beloved hair brand Qhemet Biologics has launched a tasty new MSM + Biotin supplement. This tasty powder works wonders to promote healthy hair growth and density in as little as 4 months. This supplement makes a great gift for new moms to help combat postpartum hair loss (something I am very familiar with), or anyone looking to supercharge their hair from the inside-out.
As we exchange gifts and cherish the moments of togetherness this holiday season, let’s carry forward the spirit of supporting BIPOC-founded brands. Each carefully chosen present becomes a symbol of inclusivity, a testament to the beauty that arises when diverse perspectives come together. In making conscious choices about where we spend our holiday shopping dollars, we contribute to a more equitable and vibrant business landscape. May the gifts we give be not only tokens of affection but also catalysts for positive change, fostering a season of celebration that extends far beyond the wrapping paper and bows.
