Small Businesses!
I don’t blog but I figured this was the quickest way of sharing a list. Here’s a list of small businesses I love and support, if you have any shops or businesses you want me to add let me know!
Skincare & Nail Polish:
Artifact Skin Co. - Big fan of their masks and toners, and I LOVE their konjac sponges. They make the cutest starter kits and bundles, too!
Leahlani Skincare - Let me just say: Mermaid Mask. They have a magic mask kit!!!
Selphf - Natural skincare with a focus on self love! Personally, I’m eyeing a serum and a massage bar…
NCLA Beauty - Their nail polishes are creamy but not too thick and they are long-lasting! They also have cuticle oil and lotions.
Picture Polish - Seriously some of my fav polish. I’ve bought several colors of varying finishes, their cuticle remover, & their detail brush. They also have a glass file! If you haven’t tried a glass file yet, you’re really missing out.
Holo Taco - If you’ve seen my nail polish collection, you know that superfan is an understatement. Great formulas, but the real winners are the base and top coats! Oh and the glass file!!
Taos Aer - NATURAL DEODORANT!! AND IT WORKS!!
