by Kate Etue | Beauty + Cosmetics

Last year I tried Hairstory’s New Wash Shampoo after seeing some Facebook ads for it, and whoa, our review really resonated with our readers!  So when I saw ads for The Earthling Co.’s bar shampoo, I knew I wanted to buy it and give it a try too. The...

Why this is the best soap our resident beauty product junkie has ever tried

by Ibidunni Ojikutu | Beauty + Cosmetics

You know how so many honey beauty products smell like one of the bees was turning 21, so the whole hive went out to celebrate, but they could only afford cheap pollen, and as a result they got completely blitzed on cheap pollen and bootleg nectar, then they made their...

This bath bomb shoots rainbows into your tub and OMG

by Liz Gumbinner | Beauty + Cosmetics, Kids

When our beauty contributor Ibi shared this rainbow bath bomb with me, well I just pretty well near bought 10 of them right then and there. I have a daughter who is obsessed with bath bombs and I can’t even imagine what her reaction would be if I told her to...

7 POC-owned beauty brands that I already love, or am falling in love with right now.

5 Black beauty secrets I learned from my own gorgeous mother…who I thought was Diana Ross.

by Ibidunni Ojikutu | Beauty + Cosmetics

When I was little, I just knew my mom was one of The Supremes. Actually, she wasn’t just one of them, she actually was THE Supreme, Miss Diana Ross. I figured this out using my excellent 5-year-old powers of deduction, of course. My mom’s name is similar to Diana Ross...
