00:00A few years back, you would have seen that IG video of,
00:04oh, take her swimming for the first date, where?
00:07As a woman just rubs her arm under a faucet
00:11with some makeup on it, like, it's not coming off.
00:15What now, what now?
00:17Like, guys don't lie to us with their beers in their suits.
00:20Hi, Naturally Curly World, I'm Jerilyn.
00:22I'm Lauren, it's April.
00:24And this is the best ever, the best ever,
00:27the best ever black owned businesses.
00:31I use a lot of other skincare brands.
00:35Some are black owned, some are women owned.
00:39They're just owned, I don't own them.
00:40I decided to go ahead and try the Yangu Beauty Cleansing Whip
00:45with YMB Complex.
00:47Now, y'all know I'm like a little girl when I do my makeup,
00:51but that doesn't mean that I'm not still
00:54stepping it up slowly.
00:55And who I've been stepping it up with is Beauty Bakery.
00:59So my brand is Lime Green,
01:02their website is brooklynlimegreen.com,
01:04and they make these beautiful, like,
01:07apothecary glass bottle, face toner, linen spray,
01:13facial cleanser, just everything.
01:16These lip whips only move when you're eating oily food,
01:20even then.
01:21I can drink, I can kiss, I can rub my lips on a brick wall right quick if I felt like it.
01:26You never know what the night's going to bring you,
01:29and they're not going anywhere.
01:30So right now, I'm going to elevate my outfit a little bit with this shade Royal Tea.
01:36Get it? Royal Tea.
01:38What I like the most about it is that it foams.
01:42It's got a pump mechanism here.
01:45So this is the first product.
01:47It's the Lemongrass Multi Wash,
01:49and it's shampoo, facial cleanser, and body wash.
01:52Then the second product is the Lavendula,
01:56and it is a hair oil, body moisturizer, and makeup remover.
02:01Done.
02:02Look at that.
02:03Look at this.
02:04And for the rest of the day, it's not going anywhere.
02:08I have literally fallen asleep in this stuff,
02:11and it's still on my face the next day.
02:13The beauty of this is that it's feather light,
02:17and you don't have to rub it together to make it activate or anything like that.
02:23And then the last one is the Lotus Multi Spray,
02:26and it's a body spray, face toner, and linen refresher.
02:30I use this one every day.
02:33It's a part of my nighttime routine.
02:35Yes, I'm an old lady, and I know it.
02:37I'm proud of it.
02:38And I spray it on my pillows, y'all, about like a night.
02:41It is perfect.
02:43So good.
02:44Now, the beauty of Yangu Beauty
02:47is that after you wash off that particular face whip,
02:52you're gonna add the Even Tone Serum.
02:56Before you think it's just,
02:57oh, well, that's where April gets all her weird lipstick.
02:59No.
03:00That is also where April gets all of her weird eyeliner.
03:04Look at this wing.
03:05Bam.
03:06Ready for takeoff.
03:08Elevated my whole eye.
03:10It's like they knew that women with pigmented skin,
03:16deeply pigmented skin,
03:18will go throughout life with a little bit of an even tone issues.
03:23I love the founder so much.
03:25She's always great at swatching on multiple shades of arms,
03:29just all of her products, which is great.
03:31I always see videos of the applications,
03:33see multiple product photos.
03:35You see it in multiple different lights.
03:38And then I also have used the facial cleanser.
03:41And I really like it as that, but I think I prefer it as a shampoo.
03:45It's not stripping in the hair whatsoever.
03:47Super moisturizing.
03:49And then, of course, you know, I can just go right into my body wash with that.
03:54Because it works for the same way too.
03:56Their whole product line, they're always introducing new things.
03:58They just did this wake and bake oil.
04:00They just started with setting powder.
04:03They've got eyeshadows that are just cream based and perfect.
04:07I've been using this for about two weeks, maybe a little bit longer.
04:12And I've found that my skin has been G-L-O-W-ing all day, every day.
04:20Yangu Beauty.
04:22Get yourself some.
04:23Black owned business.
04:24Shout out to my LGBT community.
04:27It's ran by two queer women, both partners in business and in life.
04:32So it's very exciting.
04:34What I really need to get from Yangu was some body lotion.
04:37So you see how my elbows are covered?
04:40That's because I need help.
04:41I need lotion.
04:42Do you have lotion?
04:44Who is your favorite black owned brand that can help me make my elbows not look like this no more?
04:50This is my brand.
04:51These are my people.
04:52These are my lips.
04:53These are my eyes.
04:54I look awesome.
04:55And Beauty Bakery helps me do it.
04:58Bon Appetit.
05:00So that's it.
05:01That's my best ever black owned brand.
