Promising review: "This is a must-have!!! Dry, chapped lips will be no more after using this product. I saw results after just one use. I’ll never not have this in my routine." —nicolecj313

Price: $16.80+ (originally $24; available in six on-sale scents)

Tower 28 is an LA-based, Asian woman-owned small biz that creates vegan and cruelty-free beauty products for all skin types. 

Promising review: "Loving this lightweight sunscreen from Tower 28! It’s the perfect everyday SPF that doesn’t make me want to immediately wash my face. It melts easily into skin with no white cast or pilling, and I haven’t experienced any stinging eyes either!" —kaygra8

Price: $12.96+ (originally $18+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Amazing concealer. Covers dark circles effortlessly without feeling heavy or cakey. Rare Beauty did it again!" —0SoCalGirl

Price: $16.80 (originally $24; available in 42 shades)

Promising reviews: "I was using a different mascara that was 'waterproof', but still rubbed off on my eyelids throughout the day. This stuff stays!! I love that’s it’s buildable, so I can go subtle or bold. I can wear this stuff all day, in a Texas summer, and it doesn’t budge. This is going to be my new go-to mascara." —tarabelle

"A full day of wear and it had great lasting power, even through a workout.  Then came the real test — the pool! After jumping in with a few cannonballs and swimming for over an hour, this stuff didn't even budge!!  Went straight to the shower after the pool, and after, my mascara still looked like it did when I applied it in the morning! AMAZING!  The formula is great, and comes off easily with makeup remover.  I can finally go to the beach and the pool and look cute without worrying!!" —corinnawp

Promising review: "Cannot rave about this perfume enough! It’s beautiful, actually has a real vanilla scent, and isn’t too sweet. It feels warm and cozy, and is just a great scent for any occasion. Major plus that Skylar scents are safe for sensitive skin, and are hypoallergenic!! This is my go-to!" —Anonymous

Topicals is a Black woman-owned small biz!

Promising review: "This is it. This is the one that *actually* blurs and fills in significant pitted scarring and large pores. My skin is oily/dehydrated. After years of trying every single primer available and being let down, I am astonished. On a totally bare, clean face, I press it into the scarring (don't rub, just tap it in) and wait for 30 seconds. The primer dries completely and levels itself into smoothness. I use Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation on top, and it actually stays put all day. I was worried about the silicone in this primer causing foundation separation issues, but after a 10-hour day, everything is still in place. I did look a tad oily after six hours and had to re-powder." —lcsftw

Promising review: "Wow! I was skeptical because I am very much a cream blush girly, but this is awesome. Perfect pigmentation, in my opinion, and blends easily. This shade is perfect for a more natural everyday makeup look!" —stefallard1

Price: $23.10 (originally $33; available in eight shades and two finishes)

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I finally found the perfect cream for my face that leaves it hydrated and doesn’t strip any oils, I couldn’t be happier. I use only a pea size amount and it covers my whole face! I truly believe this container will last me half a year. Will definitely buy again!!" —misskimberlyh

Price: $20+ (originally $25+; available in four sizes)

Promising review: "I was so skeptical about the stick application, but it goes on really smooth. I blend with a foundation brush immediately after applying and it looks just like skin. Now a staple in my routine." —minacald

Price: $21 (originally $42; available in 16 shades) 

Promising review: "This is the silkiest powder I have ever felt. It is so softening and blurring. I've been looking for something for a long time because I have combo skin and my pores definitely show. This is my go-to from now on." —Shokarei

Promising review: "This is so delicious, my skin is so bouncy! I use it morning and night. It hydrates me throughout the day, and doesn’t leave me oily. My skin has improved significantly!" —cardgs

Promising review: "These are so good and MUCH easier to apply than other brands. I see the hype! This is my new favorite product." —carolineshep

Price: $15 (originally $20; available in two styles)

Promising review: "The hype is to be believed.   I discovered this product on TikTok.   I loved how she showed the application and the payoff, which is reduced redness.   I have rosacea with a lot of redness around my nose and outside the corners of my mouth.   This reduces the redness without having to use foundation." —DJJJ

Price: $20+ (originally $25+; available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Burberry scents are UNMATCHED. The scent is so intoxicating in the best way. I get compliments every time I wear this, and it lasts ALL day long." —Maddz72

Promising review: "I  am very prone to ingrown hairs, but since adding this product into my bikini shaving/waxing routine, my results are always perfect. I will use it for the first few days after shaving (I wait a day or two to use after waxing) and the  result is always ZERO ingrown hairs." —rwh1203

Promising reviews: "This is THE best lip balm at Sephora and it’s not even close! It’s hydrating, lasts long, and it's glowy/glossy." —Dejah B

"Literally my favorite lip balm EVER. The hydration is 11/10! Doesn’t make my lips dry, and lasts a while. I always pick this one out of all my lippies! 💜" —rraegann

Price: $13.30+ (originally $19; available in 11 shades and two finishes)

Promising review: "This will make your skin feel like butter. I was a lil’ skeptical at first, but after three weeks of using it, my skin is sooooo soft! It helped with the radiance and just a bit with my texture." —Maiinna

Promising review: "I love this product!!!!! It gives me such a natural glow, and doesn’t break my skin out. I totally recommend!" —ces67

I had been getting my hair done by the same woman for over 10 years, and a few years ago, she stopped taking appointments and spending more time with her family. And I love that for her and totally understand, but I don't trust anyone else with my hair (or have the energy to find someone new that I can trust), so when she started to slow down on appointments, I started to take note of everything she used on my hair. I collected the serums, shampoo, and conditioner she used, then grabbed the flat iron she uses — this flat iron — and it really leveled up my results. It's worth every penny, works better than any flat iron I've ever used, and I have no regrets. In the GIF above, I had just straightened and curled my hair for the first time with this, and omg the shineeee, the way my hair moves...it looked and felt exactly like when my hairdresser would do my hair. I love this thing, it gets hot quickly and gets my hair straight as a pin quickly as well. It has made a HUGE difference in how my hair looks after straightening it, and I recommend it to absolutely everyone. It takes me wayyy less time to straighten my hair now, and I can use it to curl and crimp my hair flawlessly (better than my actual curling and waving irons that were pricey). Get it and thank me later.

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. I’ve never been a foundation person; a little bit of a light concealer under the eyes is usually as far as I’ll go. Recently I’ve noticed more redness and wanted a product that added a light veil for a more cohesive base. This is perfect! So natural-looking and it feels good. It’s also nice that there are skincare ingredients including sunscreen so I feel like I’m doing something good for my skin while making it look better. I don’t think I’ll need to replace it anytime soon since you only need a small amount, but when I do I will definitely be repurchasing!!" —hal3ymac4

Price: $38.40 (originally $48; available in 30 shades)
