I had a very #hotgirlsummer and traveled my heart out all summer long. I discovered the Black Travel Box when searching for natural hair products that were TSA friendly. I was sent a few items by The Black Travel Box to try out during my travels and give my honest review. Traveling brings me joy, but the part that stresses me the most is figuring out how to get my personal care products packed. The TSA rules only allow for no more than 3 ounce containers of liquids to fill in a quart sized bag. In addition to that, full sized items can make your luggage overweight and are hard…

Masquebar Black Gold Face Mask
I received a complimentary Black Gold face mask by MasqueBar and decided to give it a try. MasqueBar is a company specializing in Korean sheet masks, face masks and skin care products that can meet all of your skins needs.
