Icon Box by Gabrielle Union: The Art of You

Gabrielle Union constantly redefines what it means to be authentically herself in all the roles she plays—actress, wife, mother, activist, entrepreneur. As our February Icon Box curator, she reminds us that every moment is a chance to uncover new layers of your unique beauty. With that spirit, she’s sharing her go-to beauty products and hard-won secrets for staying happy, confident, and unapologetically true to yourself every day. Her collection invites you to see yourself as a canvas, always evolving in your journey of self-expression—a masterpiece in the making

Black History Month: Black Joy Is Beautiful

This month, our Black Joy Is Beautiful campaign celebrates the joy, color, and vibrancy of the Black experience. We honor the pioneers who paved the way and uplift today’s trailblazers who paint new perspectives of Black beauty in all its diverse expressions. From spotlighting our favorite Black-owned beauty brands you need to know about to showcasing must-follow Black hairstylists, makeup artists, and nail artists who are absolutely killing it, we’re bringing the inspiration. 

We’re also excited to partner with Project Level—a nonprofit empowering at-risk Bay Area youth through the arts—to create this month’s limited-edition Mystery Bags. Designed by their talented beauty department, these exclusive bags feature original artwork inspired by hair textures. Plus, don’t miss our Beauty Through the Black Lens series, where we chat with artist Domonique Brown about her journey and vision.
