Topicals was created by women of color who grew up with visible skin conditions and wanted to create products that worked on all skin types. Faded by Topicals is unlike any serum I’ve tried. It smells a bit funny, pungent, and stinky almost. BUT I’ve seen visible fading of a very prominent acne scar that retinol couldn’t take care of, along with a smoother jawline and forehead. The smell might be strong enough to turn you off, but the results are worth it IMO.

Hourglass Highlighting Stick
$42I have messed up the application of highlighter in the past, and this stick has the perfect width and angle for a cheek highlight that even the most unskilled can master on the first try. I swipe from above my upper brow around to the apples of my cheeks, just above the bone line. Then I just blend in with a brush. It’s easy to use and you can take it with you on the go. Not that you’ll need it, because it lasts all day.

Tammy Fender Epi Peel
$80This skin-care product instantly stood out to me the first time I used it; afterward, my typically dry skin felt so soft and positively glowed. I like a mask that provides a bit of a tingling feeling when it’s on my face, and I can feel that with this mask without the sensation being too overwhelming.
