Enter to Win Our Beauty Booster Giveaway
2020 has been a heavy year to say the least. Countless people have found themselves out of work and trying to make ends meet all while trying to keep a smile on their faces. Here at Black Texas, we’ve seen the dedication and determination of our audience as they push forward, and it’s because of this perseverance that we want to give back in the best way we can.
We’ve heard many stories of struggle from moms across the state. From furloughs to fighting on the frontlines, from working from home to helping handle school from home, Black women have had more on their shoulders than most could imagine. So, we’ve teamed up with some of our favorite brands to offer up a special beauty booster box for one lucky woman in our community, because no matter how hard women have to work to put the pieces together, they deserve to look and feel their best. Anyone can enter to win, but we’ve sought out items specifically catered to the queens among us.
A Pillowcase from Celestial Silk
Beauty rest is essential to any woman’s routine, and a big part of that is what you rest your head on. Hair stylists and dermatologists recommend silk pillowcases to help keep hair smooth and skin clear, and we’re loving Celestial Silk for that and much more. Their pillowcases are made with 25mm silk and 30% more silk than the average competitor. These luxurious pillowcases can improve sleep, in part by staying cool through the night. They’re also hypoallergenic, which could be heaven for allergy sufferers. With 25 colors and prints, Celestial Silk is bound to have something you’ll like. We’re loving their white marble silk pillowcase.
Leave-In Spray from Hempz
Speaking of hair, consider turning over a new leaf with the power of Hempz. With more than two decades of experience behind their products, Hempz has created this ultra-hydrating conditioning mist with 100% pure hemp seed oil and vitamins A, B, and C. It’s rich with eucalyptus and tea tree oil and 170 mg of CBD, and can be used as a daily leave-in conditioner as well as a detangler and frizz control. The CBD only adds to the mix, beginning in a calming factor. Hempz has a wide range of great products, but this new conditioning mist really stands out for us because of how well it promotes keratin production, hair growth and healthy collagen levels.
The 1'' Digital Titanium Flat Iron from Hot Tools
With all of the craziness that the world can bring to one’s life, sometimes it’s nice to just let your hair down and relax. If you’re looking for an absolutely amazing flat iron, then Hot Tools has just what you need. Their 1" Salon Flat Iron is seriously a powerful tool to add to the collection. The Micro-Shine® 1” titanium plates help eliminate frizz and leave you with soft, shiny and lavish hair. The multi-directional floating plates offer heat up to 450 degrees and full hair contact for one one-pass straightening. There’s no guessing game with this tool, thanks to the LCD temperature display. This is the flat iron you need.
The 1” Curling Iron from Revlon
As the seasons change, so should your hairstyle, and one of the funnest ways to kick it up a notch this season is with beautiful, bouncing curls! Getting curls that captivate is easy with the Revlon Pro Collection Salon Advanced 3x Copper Ceramic 1" Curling Iron (talk about a mouthful). This curling iron finds a balance between durability and heat transfer by combining copper and ceramic in the barrel. This model’s one-inch barrel allows for versatility in styling with heat up to 425 degrees, and heats up quickly — so you’re not stuck sitting around. And with sensors constantly monitoring the temperature, you’re sure to get even heat distribution for perfect curls or waves.
Demeter’s Destination Collection
We’ve been fans of Demeter fragrances for a while now, and their Destination Collection is a perfect example of why. This set comes with three amazing scents that recreate the essence of vibrant foreign lands. Ireland brings forth the beauty of an unsoiled meadow with its light fresh scent. New Zealand combines the freshness of the country’s rainforest, from the bright scents of the native flora to the deep, rich smell of the loamy soil beneath it. Add to that, the notes of pure, unspoiled rainwater and you have a fragrance that’s truly captivating. For a more masculine scent, Cuba comes in with lush notes of tobacco leaves, Latin spices, and green sugar cane to create a signature scent that’s reminiscent of a beautiful, vibrant Havana night.
The Bee-cause Body Bar by Philanthrobee
Beauty begins with good skincare, and the Bee-cause Body Bar by PhilanthroBee is a great way to get started. Using a powerful combination of Organic raw honey, unrefined beeswax, and bee propolis harvested from their own honey bee apiaries, this body bar penetrates deep for lasting moisture and creates a bacteria-fighting barrier to lock in hydration and protect your skin from irritation. It’s no wonder why they’ve gained such a cult following among pregnant moms-to-be worried about stretch marks. Mindfully formulated, using some of nature's most potent ingredients, this exquisite, highly vibrant gold bar is supercharged with powerful anti-inflammatories that help keep complexions calm and cool.
The Perfect Panty from Uwila
Few things make a woman feel sexier than amazing underwear, and Uwila Warrior has some amazing offerings. Uwila (pronounced “you-willa.”) has crafted a panty that combines beauty and functionality, making it perfect for long walks, overnight flights, and anything in between. As an inclusive, modern women’s underwear brand, these panties are designed to keep you comfortable, cool, and dry in any situation thanks to their 100% natural fiber silk providing top tier moisture-wicking capabilities.
Earrings from Takobia
The icing on the cake for any woman’s mini-glow up is the accessories, and Takobia has some awesome assortments to choose from. Takobia is a brand you may be familiar with, and if not, we’re glad to introduce their wares to you. For years, they’ve been creating beautiful jewelry at an affordable price, making their merch very popular across the country. Each piece of jewelry is treated with care and inspected for quality numerous times before it makes it to the public and their attention to detail shows. While we’ve got two beautiful sets included in our Active Woman Giveaway, we’re loving the gold pair included in this giveaway just as much.
