39 Buzzy BIPOC-Founded Beauty Brands Just Launched at this Unexpected Retailer

JCPenney just said goodbye to Sephora and hello to its own massive beauty shop. More than 170 brands are popping up inside 10 JCPenney stores (and online!) including 39 from inclusive beauty retailer Thirteen Lune. The e-commerce site was founded by Nyakio Grieco, a beauty entrepreneur and founder of Nyakio Beauty, and Patrick Herning, the founder of 11 Honoré, a plus size fashion label. They started the site to give customers a chance to discover beauty brands by Black and brown founders they might otherwise miss.

This partnership with JCP brings indie and BIPOC-founded brands to a massive retailer, which will put these products in more hands and in more homes. “We created thirteen lune to bring awareness to brands and founders that had yet to receive the attention they deserved from larger retail partners,” Grieco tells STYLECASTER.

“With our partnership with JCPenney, 39 of our truly inclusive BIPOC-founded and select ally brands will be available at our thirteen lune stores within the new JCPenney Beauty space,” she continues. “We are excited to share our vision of beauty and inclusivity with the JCPenney customer and we look forward to hearing their feedback as they discover their new favorite products.”

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Tamra Judge’s Pink Asymmetrical Top on Instastories

Tamra Judge Instagram Fashion 2021

While Tamra Judge apparently didn’t get the infamous fish room while staying at Dorinda’s house in the Berkshires to film Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2, according to the ‘Gram she did thankfully get a room (Hannah’s maybe?) with a full-length mirror. Which ended up being the perfect way for her to show off her pink asymmetrical top and black leather pants to us so that we could shop them to help lessen the FOMO.

17 Beauty Advent Calendars That Every Makeup & Skincare Obsessive Needs

Alright, hear me out—I know it’s only October and you should be prepping for Halloween, but you should order your December beauty advent calendars now. If you wait until November, your faves might be sold out and that’s not the way you want to start the holiday season.

The secret about beauty advent calendars is that they’re great deals. Whether want to try your go-to skincare brand’s entire product line or do a mix-and-match of famously good beauty products, you can get 12 or 24 items for a fraction of the full retail price. Plus, they’re fun. If you have a collector’s mindset or get a burst of serotonin whenever you unbox one item, you should definitely add an advent calendar to your cart. It’s basically 24 days of presents to yourself (or the loved one you gift it to).

We founded up the 10 best beauty advent calendars that are either available right at this very moment or can be pre-ordered. And because we love finding amazing deals, we found a few advent calendars that you will literally save hundreds of dollars on—we’re not kidding. Scroll down to find out which ones we’re talking about. We also found some budget-friendly advent calendars that are under $20, which are perfect early holiday gifts.

The advent calendars below encompass the wide range of beauty products out there, from nail polish to skincare. No matter what you’re into, you can get a set that’ll fuel your obsession. And you’ll want to keep an eye on this list—we’ll be updating it periodically leading up to peak advent calendar szn.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. QVC and HSN are STYLECASTER sponsors, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

How does the opportunity to test 25+ beauty essentials from the likes of Glow Recipe, Elemis, and Medik8 sound to you? How about the ability to buy something for $99 when it’s actually worth $550? The correct answer is: amazing. Obviously, a gift set like this is a hot commodity. It sold out last year, so hop on it before it’s too late.
