International Women’s Day — Support Indie Beauty Brands Founded & Run By Women

March 8 is International Women’s Day, and although shopping is generally discouraged by the organizers, we think you are welcome to support women and their business ventures. Shop small by supporting some of our favorite beauty brands founded and owned by women.
