Brands on a Mission: Products to shop for this Spring

At LATV, we’re all about women empowerment, and not only in March to celebrate Women’s History Month. 

We’ve come across brands that stand by the excellence of their products, but also have a mission to help organizations and pay it forward towards the younger generation.

Let’s get to know them!

Keeping it all together for your comadres

Cincha The brand believes in building up the young women of today who will be the leaders – and comadres – of tomorrow.  Cincha’s co-founder, Ash Sharma’s mother is from El Salvador and she grew up with a lot of women in her family.

During WHM, Cincha released the ‘Comadre Travel Belt,’a nod to the Latinx heritage of sisterhood that honors the invaluable women bonds made throughout our lifetimes. The idea behind the design was to create something that celebrates the closest women in your life. Women that have left a stamp. Women that always pick up. Women who are there when you need them the most.  Cincha donated 20% of sales to The Sad Girls Club, an online and real-life community committed to supporting and mentoring young girls battling mental illnesses. 

Al of Cincha’s products are available on Etsy

Brochas, Beauty and Bliss

Real Techniques collaborated with Female Collective and co-created the Dare to Be You Collection, available now, exclusivity at ULTA. The brands came together to create a collection meant to inspire makeup looks that empower, embrace, and celebrate your uniqueness. The six-piece collection includes brushes, sponges, kits and a cosmetics bags that are engraved with positive mantras and have multi-purpose uses.

Female Collective is a platform that empowers, uplifts, and celebrates the feminine spirit founded  and 100% owned by Candace Reels. She is an intersectional feminist and self-love advocate and a fierce champion for female empowerment and is available for interviews should that be of interest!

Real Techniques also partnered with Black Girls Smile, an organization dear to Candace’s heart that is dedicated to empowering the mental wellbeing of young Black women. There will be a monetary donation and Real Techniques will include the organization within the marketing activations to give their cause a platform to speak.
