Hi there! What was that? You say you want to purchase from Latina-owned businesses, but you don’t know where to start? Well, you have come to the right place 😉
For the next 8 days during Latin Heritage Month, I will be posting about small businesses owned by Latinas. Hand Crafts, Apparel and Accessories, Bookstores and Publishers, Therapists, Boutiques, Ethically Sourced Brands, a Miscellaneous article to include the more niche industries, and today’s industry, Beauty.
🚨⚠️AVISO 📢🔊WARNING ⚠️🚨These Beauty Brands are going to wow you and remind mi gente, who the ef we are. With eyeshadow pigments tan vibrante como nuestra cultura … as vibrant as our culture … application as smooth as a baby’s nalgas (butt), I don’t think you’re ever going to want to go back to those household name brands that are too big for their britches.
It’s time for our glow-up Doñas 💄. Not only will you see a difference in product, you’ll be supporting makeup and beauty lines that are vegan, utilize natural resources, and have the most amazing product packaging you have ever seen. Aaaaaaand, you will be supporting small Latina owned businesses … Oh yeah! A lot of the brands I’m going to share with you have discounts during Latin Heritage Month 🛍️
Here are the eight makeup and beauty products that have stepped up and stepped out.
8. DIOSA — Vegan Glam Cosmetics
7. THE LATINO SHOP — Beauty + Hand Crafted Gifts and Accessories
6. REINA REBELDE— Makeup
5. NOPALERA — Modern Mexican Health and Beauty
4. ARACELI BEAUTY — Beauty Con Pasion
3. BESAME COSMETICS — Beauty, Cosmetic & Personal Care
2. GLAMLITE COSMETICS — Cosmetics Store
1. MELT COSMETICS — Beauty, Cosmetic & Personal Care
And just for good measure, here’s a Latina Fashion Designer who has her own damn brand serving lewks, fragrances, and accessories. She still has a boss, a Spanish fashion and beauty manager who inherited the Puig Company. Puig is like the paraguas (umbrella) over many A-Listers who have started their own brands. His collection also includes Shakira and Antonio Banderas.
Bonus: CAROLINA HERRERA — FASHION DESIGNER
Full transparency here, I haven’t tried any of these products yet. I know! This story is to get the names of these Latina’s small beauty brands out there. I know everyone has different tastes … Which one are you eyeing?
But, yes … yes, I am dyyying to try them. You see, the way my bank account is set up (just kidding, Kevin Hart humor) … financially I’m in a position of only purchasing necessities. This is me being responsible in life. It sucks. But God is good and I am blessed. I know the day will come! Until then,
I LOVE to do product reviews. So, I’m also interested in creating content for gifted products for reviews posted on my platforms. 🙋🏻♀️
If I missed any brands, please share them in the comments 🙏🏼.
