So unrelated to the actual content, but I wanted to note that it is awful how another one of Jeffree’s dogs, Daddy Star, unfortunately passed away, due to complications from a liver surgery.

So, our thoughts are with Jeffree and the rest of the family.

African American women have always taken pride in their crown, which is our hair. According to the website Hype Hair, which promotes the latest hair trends for women of color, states that black women "spend nearly nine times more than our non-Black counterparts on ethnic hair and beauty products. Add in $473 million in total hair care, $127 million grooming aids and $465 million in skin care preparations, and we spend a whopping $1.1 billion on beauty annually." Other beauty brands are taking notice and are creating products specifically for women of color. The hot comb created by Annie Malone and later improved my Madame CJ Walker, African America's first self-made millionaire, is a staple in women of color's homes for centuries and decades. The hot comb is equivalent to a man's shave kit. It's one of the many stages that reflect womanhood. It's a comb that lays flat on top of the stove, and it heats up and combs through your hair to straighten. It was the go-to product before the flatiron existed.

Ok so let’s talk how about Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star's new video about the beauty industry and all that actually goes into the makeup industry.

On August 13th, the Morphe X Jeffree Star artistery eyeshadow palette launched, which is exactly two days before the release of Jackie Aina’s collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills for her own eyeshadow palette. To be very honest, I do not care for Jeffree Star, at all. Jackie, on the other hand, is one of my biggest inspirations and so I will not even try to be impartial in this discussion. However, I cannot help myself but be very curious as to why Jackie’s collab was so heavily criticized by many, people insinuating that she did not deserve it, and that ABH should have given this opportunity to another youtuber (*insert here a list of all the White beauty gurus on youtube.*) Once I recognized that pattern in people’s opinions, I then started wondering how come Jeffree Star’s collab didn’t receive such backlash and how come his empire is only getting bigger and bigger regardless of his shady past. Now the answer to that last question is pretty easy: not many people ever had an issue with his past, or perhaps… they ''forgave'' him.

I have to find the right balance between hydrating my dry skin and trying to tame my oily skin, it’s not easy.

It was so sad, and I had some scabs around my eyes and cheeks because of it. Finding products that work and constantly changing up the routine is hard and annoying but once you find some products that work and your skin loves, there is no going back. Not all these products are going to work for you, but if your skin is as sensitive as mine, then I would recommend trying some of these products.

Smooth, Flake-Free Skin Overnight

Rebecca's Paradise is a small company based in Pamona, New York that makes high quality all-natural skin care products. I recently had the pleasure of coming across... a Rebecca's Promise booth at a local farmer's market and spoke with the woman behind the dream, Rebecca herself. We got to talking, and she explained all the different products that she'd brought. I listened. Most of them were moisturisers, which was all well and good, but my skin had never been particularly dry. When I asked if she had anything for oily skin, prone to breakouts, she recommended witch hazel.
