00:00A few years back you would have seen that IG video of, oh, take her swimming for the
00:06first date?
00:07Where?
00:08As a woman just rubs her arm under a faucet with some makeup on it, like it's not coming
00:13off.
00:15What now?
00:16What now?
00:17Like guys don't lie to us with their beards in their suits.
00:20Hi Naturally Curly World, I'm Jerilyn.
00:22I'm Lauren.
00:23It's April.
00:24And this is the best ever, the best ever, the best ever.
00:29Black owned businesses.
00:31I use a lot of other skincare brands, some are black owned, some are women owned, they're
00:39just owned, I don't own them.
00:40I decided to go ahead and try the Yangu Beauty Cleansing Whip with YMB Complex.
00:47Now y'all know I'm like a little girl when I do my makeup, but that doesn't mean that
00:52I'm not still stepping it up slowly.
00:56And who I've been stepping it up with is Beauty Bakery.
01:00So my brand is Lime Green, their website is brooklynlimegreen.com, and they make these
01:06beautiful apothecary glass bottle, face toner, linen spray, facial cleanser, just everything.
01:16These lip whips only move when you're eating oily food, even then.
01:21So I can drink, I can kiss, I can rub my lips on a brick wall right quick if I felt like
01:26it.
01:27You never know what the night's going to bring you, and they're not going anywhere.
01:30So right now I'm going to elevate my outfit a little bit with this shade Royal Tea.
01:36What I like the most about it is that it foams, it's got a pump mechanism here.
01:45So this is the first product, it's the Lemongrass Multi Wash, and it's shampoo, facial cleanser,
01:51and body wash.
01:53Then the second product is the Lavendula, and it is a hair oil, body moisturizer, and makeup
02:00remover.
02:01Done.
02:02Done.
02:03Look at that.
02:04Look at this.
02:06And for the rest of the day, it's not going anywhere.
02:10I have literally fallen asleep in this stuff, and it's still on my face the next day.
02:14The beauty of this is that it's feather-like, and you don't have to rub it together to make
02:22it activate or anything like that.
02:23And then the last one is the Lotus Multi Spray, and it's a body spray, face toner, and linen
02:30refresher.
02:32I use this one every day.
02:34It's a part of my nighttime routine.
02:36Yes, 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 light, it is perfect, so good.
02:45Now the beauty of Yangu Beauty is that after you wash off that particular face whip, you're
02:54gonna add the Even Tone Serum.
02:57Or you think it's just, oh, well that's where April gets all her weird lipstick.
03:00No.
03:01That is also where April gets all of her weird eyeliner.
03:05Look at this wing, bam, ready for takeoff, elevated my whole eye.
03:12It's like they knew that women with pigmented skin, deeply pigmented skin, will go throughout
03:21life with a little bit of an even tone issue.
03:24I love the founder so much.
03:27She's always great at swatching on multiple shades of arms, just all of her products, which
03:31is great.
03:32I always see videos of the applications, see multiple product photos, you see it in multiple
03:38different lights.
03:39And then I also have used the facial cleanser, and I really like it as that, but I think
03:44I prefer it as a shampoo.
03:46It's not stripping in the hair whatsoever, super moisturizing, and then of course I can
03:51just go right into my body wash with that, because it works for the same way too.
03:57Their whole product line, they're always introducing new things.
03:59They just did this wake and bake oil.
04:02They just started with setting powder.
04:04They've got eyeshadows that are just cream-based and perfect.
04:08I've been using this for about two weeks, maybe a little bit longer, and I've found that
04:14my skin has been G-L-O-W-ing all day, every day, Yangu Beauty, get yourself some, black-owned
04:24business.
04:25Shout out to my LGBT community, it's ran by two queer women, both partners in business and
04:32women life, so it's very exciting.
04:35What I really need to get from Yangu was some body lotion.
04:38So you see how my elbows are covered?
04:41That's because I need help, I need lotion.
04:43Do you have lotion?
04:45Who is your favorite black-owned brand that can help me make my elbows not look like this
04:50no more?
04:51This is my brand, these are my people, these are my lips, these are my eyes.
04:54I look awesome, and Beauty Bakery helped me do it.
05:00Bon appetit.
05:01So that's it, that's my best ever black-owned brand.
