Kiramoon is a woman-owned brand whose founder Lindsey sought out on a mission to make skincare and its packaging reflect the joy it brought her at the end of a long work day. With every Kiramoon purchase, they donate a portion of the proceeds to Bring Change To Mind, an organization dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Okay, not only are these incredibly fun to look at (they're literally a magical, unicorn-majestical, work of art), they feel so amazingggggg after a long day. After much bloating and a puffy forehead and tense jawline, these are such a relief to use. Skincare and selfcare should truly always be this fun. These are an upgrade from facial rollers and WAY cooler.
Machete is a woman-owned small business located in Atlanta, Georgia that makes the most stunning accessories from earrings, to phone cases, to hair clips (their claw clip is one of my absolute faves).
I am obsessed with Machete — from their hair clips, to jewelry, to sunglasses, I don't think I could truly love a brand more. I have been wearing their Ruby sunglasses in the classic tortoise version and I can't get enough of them. They look good with every outfit and they're thick and luxe feeling. I have worn these non-stop for about two weeks now and won't stop anytime soon.
Get the Ruby sunglasses from Machete for $150 (PayPal, Shop Pay, and Google Pay are available).
