So...I'm tired. I see so many arguments among us about who we (black women) are allowed and are not allowed to support, and I'm exhausted. There are brands I do not support, if others want to, fine. I can't tell you how to spend your money. BUT in your defense, pls stop acting like people can only buy black owned brands! A lot of times people won't even provide suggestions! I buy both and I'd like to think the brands I buy from are cool, but buying from bob on the ground is impossible. Perhaps a better solution would be to buy from brands online that do support us rather than stan for brands that don't care about us. Or at least provide brands. That's why I created this page. Us, Black women, refrain from buying some brands but let's promote our own. I don't have time to shame people because I want to promote us, that's the only way we'll get into mainstream. I compared @shopmyob Hendrixx to ColourPop 3-Way, Black Moon Immortal, Makeup Geek Backstage, and NYX Asteroid Aura for the sake of comparison. This is a dupe for Gerard Cosmetics Underworld (see post from yesterday). #dupeblack #colourpop #colourpoppers #myobcosmetics #makeupgeek #nyx #metalliclipstick Difference or nah? Week three of me using my @shopahcosmetics_ Brow Serum. I'm not expecting much for less than a month but I think my ends look thicker? For reference, it takes 8-12 months for brows to grow in. I don't plan to get my brows done any time soon, I just brush and fill them in and cover the little stray hairs with concealer. I wish that entire half would grow in but I tweezed so much for years 😐😐 #dupeblack #ahcosmetics #brows #lipoftheday is @shopmyob Hendrixx, which is a close match to Gerard Cosmetics Underworld. These lippies are kiss/smudge proof but will obviously wear down when I'm contact with oils. This shade is also close to JS No Tea, No Shade, but I think his is a tad brighter although it's tough to tell in different lighting w/pics. It's so pretty! 🌌 #dupeblack #myobcosmetics #gerardcosmetics #jeffreestarcosmetics #metalliclipstick I am in love with this lovely box from @zaabox - you get five products in each box (mine is missing one because I'm greedy and ate the chocolate) from black-owned brands. Everything in this box smells like dessert and I'm here for it. And look at my rose!! It's real!!! Such a sweet touch. ❤ #dupeblack #buyblack #zaabox #beauty Peep the new blog (link in profile)! Brands are tagged in the pic. #dupeblack #buyblack #fashion
