5 Beauty Hacks For Your Summer Femailer

by Cheyenne Paterson Collaborator July 30, 2020

As you all know, the first Femailer started shipping on June 15th! Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been loving all the unboxing videos and product highlights from our #FemailerFam! What we love the most from this season’s mailer is that there truly is something for every girl: from the natural girls and the makeup baes, to the skin enthusiasts and even the fashionistas. As you all begin to delve into each product, we feel like now is the perfect time to give y’all the rundown on our five favorite ways to get the most out of this season's mailer.

Bye Bye Bad Hair Days

This tip is simple, but always an essential! You know we all have those days; the days we wake up late for work, the mornings after our scarves fall off in the middle of the night, or the mornings we’re just simply not in the mood. Whatever the reason is, some days we just don’t have it all together. However, thanks to the Satin-Lined headband from @AdamaBeautyCo, bad hair days can now be fixed with the quickness and in an oh-so healthy way! We love using this satin-lined headband to pineapple our hair. The width, elasticity, and satin material of this headband allow for this style to be completely tension free, anti-breakage, and of course, cute! Say bye bye to bad hair days thanks to Adama Beauty!

This Lipgloss is Lit. Literally.

I think it’s safe to say that the MVP of the Summer Mailer is the Out of the Blue Lipgloss by PUR Cosmetics. The shade, “Goals,” is the perfect wearable nude for black girls even on fresh face days. And don’t sleep, best believe it can also hold its weight with a beat face. The main attraction, though, is the packaging. This gloss comes in a glass tube, with a metallic holographic top. The gag is, the handle of the applicator comes with a light up component, and the tube has a mirror on the side! PUR cosmetics didn’t just give you gloss, they gave you lighting, and a mirror too! Yes girl, no more compact mirrors or using the iPhone light to achieve a perfect gloss application. Thanks to PUR cosmetics, you can touch up your gloss in the club, at the dinner table, at the cookout, and even in church. This gloss is lit, literally.

Beauty Bag Talk

Let’s get into some bag talk! The items in the Summer’s mailer arrived in our cute staple multi-use beauty bag, which will come with every Femailer. It’s big enough to hold all 10 products from this summer’s mailer, but small enough to fit inside your purses and luggage. One thing about us, we’re all about recycling and repurposing! This bag is perfect for your makeup brushes and toiletries, packing travel sized toiletries, perfumes, and for your pencils and pens. Our favorite way to use this bag is for our mascaras and lippies! These are the products that you want on the go with you, in the case you need to do some touch ups. These little bags are the type of items that you never knew you needed, but make all the difference. Let us know how you’re using your bag!

Black Girls Matter, Always.

As a mailer subscription curated specifically with black and brown women in mind, you know we had to represent! This seasons’ mailer came with a cute melanin themed laptop sticker that says, ‘Black Girls Matter.’ Although originally sent out for your laptops, this sticker can double as the cutest t-shirt graphic! We have to thank the beautiful, @ShadesOfNic who is an official member of our #FemailerFam for the idea! She rocked her ‘Black Girls Matter,’ sticker on Juneteenth, and we just knew we had to put y’all on. How are you rocking your Black Girls Matter sticker? Tag us in your pics @myfemailer and use #femailerfam!

A Real Summer Glow

A product you all have been loving this season is the Urban Skin RX cleansing bar! This bar is specially designed to even your skin tone as well as skin texture. This bar has been so effective in our fight against hyperpigmentation, but we’ve been really into the sponge that comes in the packaging! Some of y’all are back outside, but we know many of our #FemailerFam is still quarantined and slowly transitioning to being outside. With that being said, the enclosed sponge is a must-have for the perfect summer glow! The subtle grainy texture is optimal for removing dead skin, smoothing and brightening your complexion. We know you miss your esthetician, but girl, it's time to makedo! Self sufficiency all 2020.

These five beauty hacks will definitely help you get more bang for your buck and we hope you continue to love your Summer femailer as much as we love our #FemailerFam. Feel free to put us on to your favorite uses for any product in the mailer via instagram, facebook, youtube or twitter, @myfemailer!
