10 Black Owned Beauty Brands to Support - Befitting Style

Whether you’re a makeup lover or a skincare addict, beauty is so much fun to play with. I kicked off my black owned series discussing black-owned fashion brands and now its time to talk beauty. This may sound surprising but I don’t dabble in skincare that much. I find that keeping it minimal works for my skin but there are a couple of skincare companies that caught my eye. If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you already know how much I love to play in makeup. While supporting black-owned businesses…

8 Black-Owned Fashion Brands To Support Right Now

Oyinkan

I’ve been practicing self-care since the recent event that occurred in Minneapolis. Now that I’m done crying (hopefully) every day (but still extremely hurt) about the killing of George Floyd, I’d like to discuss some actions we can take to support black people. Supporting black businesses is something I’ve always stood for as it enhances black communities and I’m just naturally attracted to businesses created by people that look like what I see in the mirror. Below are 8 black-owned fabulous fashion brands to support right now. You can also…

DIY Grey Crochet Jacket – Outerwear

Oyinkan

I’m not exactly sure if I should call this crochet item a jacket, a sweater or a coat but nothing gets me more excited about style than DIY projects. I’ve known how to sew for as long as I can remember and learned to crochet at the age of 12. I find that I appreciate the items that I create much more than the items that I buy in stores. I wish I knew how to write an understandable pattern so I can help others to create but I did…

6 Values I’m Keeping At 28

Oyinkan

I celebrated my birthday while soaking in some sun in a pink Cali Swim bathing suit and cover up. This was by far the most relaxing birthday I’ve ever had. For the past 6 years, my 22nd birthday has felt like the best birthday ever (it was the never ending birthday filled with so many celebrations). Every birthday after that couldn’t compare as the pressure (that I put on myself) to exceed that birthday kept me from truly doing the most! This birthday consisted of some healing and reflection. Without further…

Too Faced Born This Way x Jackie Aina Foundation Review

Oyinkan

I love seeing YouTubers rise up and create change within their respective industries. The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation didn’t have enough shades for dark-skinned women so Beauty Vlogger, Jackie Aina collaborated with Too Faced to expand their shade range so the brand can cater to women of darker skin tones. I knew I had to get my hands on this new release! Take a peek at my full first impression which includes an 8-hour wear test which allowed me to see how the foundation lasts over time on my oily skin. Pros…

Mac x Patrick Starrr Spring Collection – Me So Fleek Review

Oyinkan

I’ve been watching Patrick Starrr’s YouTube channel for years! With the Mac x Patrick Starrr Spring Collection being his second collab with Mac Cosmetics, I knew I had to get my hands on it! The collection comes in 2 sets; Me so Fleek and Me So Chic! As a bright color fanatic, naturally, I gravitated to Me so Fleek as Me So Chic didn’t have enough color for my liking. As a lover of florals, it was so hard to resist purchasing this collab after watching his announcement video which was filled…

Is Fenty Body Lava Worth Your Coin?

Oyinkan

I finally got my hands on the Fenty Beauty Body Lava! Because I’ve been a shimmer fanatic since my teenage years, I couldn’t wait to have it, but I must admit that I initially wasn’t going to get the Body Lava as I prefer being loyal to the Bath and Body Works Diamond Shimmer Mist that I’ve been using for so many years. It’s my holy grail! I eventually caved in and figured that if I’m going to try something new, I might as well compare it to whats been working for me.…

Is Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Worth It?

Fenty-Beauty-Mattemoiselle-Befitting-Style

I try not to talk too much about Fenty Beauty but it’s sort of hard not to when her new collection, Mattemoiselle is filled with so many vibrant shades as well as a few neutrals. Lipstick is my favorite part of getting dolled up and a matte lipstick is the key to my heart (amongst many other things). Take a peek at the first impression video above. I purchased 6 of the 14 shades (Candy Venom, Midnight Wasabi, Griselda, Clapback, Freckle Fiesta, Spanked) as her bright colors immediately attracted me! Without further ado, here are…

Glow Through The Holidays

Oyinkan

Its my favorite time of the year and what better time than the holidays to (in the words of Rihanna) shine bright like a diamond. Everyone can use a little extra glow in their life. These golden box braids has led me to use more gold than usual but I always believe the more gold the better. Throughout the weeks of rocking these braids, I’ve been wanting to wear everything similar to this color such as a golden highlighted face, sometimes a bit of neutral, as well as bronze and golden…

Does The Urban Decay Velvetizer Actually Work?

Urban Decay Velvetizer - Befitting Style

When you hear of a powder that makes your makeup more luscious and matte than it is, it’s definitely worth a try! The Urban Decay Velvetizer is a translucent mix in powder that is said to give your foundation a matte finish and also doubles as a finishing powder. I was a bit apprehensive because I tend to stay away from white powders due to a fear of them not cooperating with my dark skin tone. Despite my apprehension, I decided to give it a try and mixed it with the Maybelline Fit Me…
