My name is Taylor and I have a problem.

Although I am trying my hardest to keep my shopping cart empty and mind my budget, I can't stop spending money on skincare and if buying Black is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Just when I thought I got my compulsion under control, I stumbled upon MoonXCosmestics, a Black woman-owned handmade skincare line that would surely take all of my coins… if they weren't constantly sold out due to high demand.

Last week, the brand, created by 20-year-old womanpreneur Mariee' Revere, announced that they made $1.8 million dollars in sales with a total of more than 20,000 orders in only 9 minutes and the internet was shook.

Although MoonXCosmetics only surfaced online three years ago, the user reviews and word of mouth have quickly catapulted the company into the spotlight proving that having a dream is free, but the hustle is sold separately.

Before the age of 21, our good sis has since been able to move into a new apartment, buy a new Jeep, invest in a warehouse, pay off her mother's credit card, and take care of her grandmother's mortgage for 2020. Ain't God good?

Be sure to sign up for emails to learn more about MoonXCosmetics next restock, but until then, check out this list of Black-owned natural skincare companies that you need to shop ASAP:

You Don’t Have To Choose: How Black Women Can Care For Others Without Self-Sacrifice

One of the primary instructions we receive before a flight takes off is to prioritize putting on your life vest first if there’s an emergency, even before assisting others. It’s funny how this rule rarely translates to the daily routine of women.

As women we are taught, directly and indirectly, to put others first. Whether it’s our romantic partners, kids, parents, friends, or even our jobs. Mental health survivor and founder of Sista Afya Community Care, Camesha Jones-Brandon is challenging that narrative by using her platform to advocate for Black women and their right to self-care.
