Jackie Aina created a brand (finally) and it’s called Forvr Mood. I’m super proud of Jackie and all that she’s accomplished thus far. From her incredibly successful youtube channel to her Artist Couture Collab and Anastasia Beverly Hills collab and now her own brand! I feel like a proud sister! I’ve watched Jackie Aina on YouTube since my early college years when she slayed her face while still being in the military. Its so refreshing to see how far she’s come. We don’t know what Forvr Mood will entail as…
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 skin women, therefore Beauty Vlogger, Jackie Aina collaborated with Too Faced to expand their shade range so the brand can better suit women of darker skin tones. I knew I had to
In December 2016, Artist Couture collaborated with Beauty Vlogger, Jackie Aina to give birth to a rose gold highlighter, La Bronze which added to the many Diamond Glow highlighters provided by Artist Couture. It was created for women of darker skin tones. Because I love to

Happy International Women’s Day! For me, every day is a great day to celebrate women but for this special day, its only right that I highlight 8 black women-owned businesses you should know about! From skincare to lifestyle and so much more, here are some amazing brands founded by phenomenal black women! WILD SEED BOTANICALS I’ve been watching Lailah Jean on YouTube for years. When the Ghanian beauty launched a skincare line 3 years ago, I knew it would be amazing because of all the wonderful whipped shea butter she’s…
Speaking about black creators to follow is probably my favorite out of my black owned series! This list includes creators that I’ve loved and supported for many years as well as some that I found just a couple of years ago. While supporting black creators and building the black economy, please also support the organizations fighting inequality by checking out this national resource list that also includes petitions as well as legal services for protesters. An easy and free way to contribute is by searching “Black Lives Matter Donate Playlist”…
I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Volume 4 palette a few weeks ago and it finally arrived last week. I honestly didn’t have much interest in trying the palette anymore and I only purchased it because my only other experience with the brand is their collaboration with Jackie Aina. Although I only want to focus on black-owned brands, I decided to have a bit of fun with the review by comparing it to the Makeup Revolution x Patricia Bright Rich in Colour palette as it they have some similar…
It’s been a while since I actually celebrated Nigerian Independence Day publicly as I find it easier to be in my own little world (which is usually my default). In my early 20s, I would attend the parades as well as the parties. While I didn’t partake in any parade this year, I popped up at one of the parties. Being the super last minute person that I am, I began making this dress the night before the party, even though I bought the ankara fabric a week before the…
I’ve loved neon my entire life so the new surge of neon somewhat turned me off as many trends turn me off especially when its something I’ve taken part of for a long period of time. Part of me wonders if many will continue to opt for neon during the fall as fall tends to bring out many neutrals. I find it interesting that many switched out their neutrals for such bold, glow in the dark hues which would be the complete opposite of what they would opt for all…
My love for pink will always draw me to peachy hues! Besides how amazing it looks on darker skin tones like mine, the light and airy shade also easily pairs with a variety of items as peach is often mixed and matched with a variety of colors. For this look, I kept it simple with a neutral skirt. Of course peach is the perfect contract for thes maroon braids! As I prepare for the fall, I’m excited to see my hair again. It feels like I’ve had these braids this…
