Why Renee picked this item: “For zooms, I love the chic effortless French look, and you will too!” 

Why Babba picked this item: “I love everything Ami Cole, a clean makeup brand with a skin-first approach, authentically representing the black and brown community with products we need and love.” 

Why Galyn picked this item: “I received a beautiful necklace and bracelet as gifts from this local jeweler and I love both them so much – I am excited to treat myself to new gold hoops for the holidays, but would recommend anything Ballentine.” 

Why Natalie picked this item: “I love gifting jewelry but people tend to have their go-to looks already. That’s why I love this sustainable gold barrette from Each Jewels. It’s a more sophisticated take on the popular hair bow trend and makes a casual low ponytail super chic. It also helps that the company is female founded and uses fair labor practices.”

Why Lisa picked this item: “This is THE BEST! A volumizing and lengthening mascara that targets every single lash for instant lift, length, and fanned-out volume without clumps — buy now!” 

Why Tandice picked this item: “I’ve been loving the new clean makeup line by star makeup artist, and founder of Stila, Jeanine Lobell. NEEN has the marketing (Gen Z chic) and mission (sustainable packaging, including the first-ever reusable silicone compact) on hard lock. Anything in their line would be a great holiday gift for the Youtube beauty tutorial connoisseur in your life, but I think their makeup subscription card makes for an especially fun ‘gift that keeps giving’ option.” 

Why Kaitlin picked this item: “I have been eyeing this female, minority owned brand for a few years. I love timeless jewelry and the meaning of an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation. Some of my most favorite and special pieces were my moms. This ring is simple and elegant with a little frosting!”
