Topicals
Hey, black girl! It’s time to realize that “you make skin look good – not the other way around.” At least that’s the quote on Topical’s ultra-simple website. The skincare company promises science-backed formulas, products made for every shade, and products made by experts. While one may think they’re working on their skin, they’ll also be giving back in support of mental health. Topical donates a percentage of its profits to movements it deems important with hopes of bringing awareness to the connection between mental health and skin health. Just in time for the holiday season, Topicals offers holiday sets, including The Body Set, a body serum, and a High Roller Ingrown Tonic. It also includes The Minis, which is a Faded Serum for brightening and evening dark spots, and the Slather Body Serum. Finally, they’re offering The 2023 Favs, which includes the Sealed Active Serum, the Faded Serum and the Faded Eye Mask.

This would be the perfect gift to any Beyoncé fan and supporter. Beyoncé described the $160 perfume as monolithic and intimate. Other consumers have used the words “Citrusy honey” and super floral.
Tres Lindas (Cigars)
Afro-Cuban twins Yvette and Yvonne Rodriguez honor their Cuban heritage with their unique cigars. The company name, Tres Lindas, is based on a Cuban folk song about three beautiful women.
