Y'all know, as always, I'm your homegirl who knows a little bit about everything in every single body. So it's time to get on into some topics. Beyonce has officially made it into Ulta with Secret. Back in, I believe it was like February, Beyonce had actually announced that she was headed into Ulta stores with Sacred. I think people were excited then, but I think now because there's a visual to it. You know, people have been talking about it a little bit more. Like that whole thing. It's like, you know how future be. Like, dress it up and make it real for me. It's like, it's real now. So Beyonce posted a clip on her Instagram on Sunday, April 5. And in the video, she's smiling. She has a bottle of the Sacred. It's a hair oil that she's actually rubbing into her hands. And baby, she look good. She's in Vivienne Westwood. It's a low Cut top, she got the blonde layers flowing. Flip over to the side, and she's using a hair oil to just kind of go through her hair. Then she hands off the product to her mother, Ms. Tina Knowles, who uses it, and they have fun with it. And then they hand off the product to someone else who's in this, like, sacred, like, uniform almost. And then they walking into Ulta, and it's like, you see it, it's there, it's happening now. And it's like, girl, go ahead. Like, I am so proud of you. Like, yes, it's like a. It's like an unspoken language. And I feel like, you know, what I'm seeing happening right now online is it's the reaction to that. Now, don't get me wrong, there were the girls that had their issues with the product and with the brand when it first came out, and they had their things to say. But that leans into the reason why I never looked into the TikTok reviews or anything like that for me. And y'all might think I'm crazy, but I'm really into, like, makeup, hair, lashes, lipstick, lip glosses, like, fashion. Like, I. I really enjoy and love all of that stuff. And I also understand that, like, everything doesn't work the same for everybody. Like, I really understand that in a real way. So. I've always said I wanted to try Beyonce's brand, but I wanted to try it at a time where, like, I knew, like, okay, I'm trying this, I'm trying hair growth. I'm being protective. I'm doing everything I need to do so that this product can work its best. You know what I mean? Like, it's. It's best vibes. And I'm in that space, cuz I've been wearing units, I've been wearing wigs. Y'all know, on the Breakfast Club, Charlamagne makes a joke every single day. But I know it's because they look good, period. Shout out to Ms. Mai Tai on Instagram. My hair stylist from Philadelphia. But because I'm in this space of, like, you know, protecting my hair, I always think about the fact that, like, I want to do, you know, something under it to make sure that I'm doing it. And this is not a paid, you know, anything. I wish I was getting a coin from Sacred. Okay. I'm just excited. And I think I'm excited also too, because as a makeup girly, and at one point in time, Beyonce's product was only available on her website, and she's Beyonce, right? And it's her Internet. It's Beyonce's worldwide net. If y'all did not know. But at the same time, to be in stores isn't. Is an accomplishment. And I think that her going online first and then going into stores was a testament of her breaking that Beyonce effect. Now we going to talk about it, because there is a conversation around Beyonce about her not being vulnerable. Vulnerable enough to show her connection to the products that she sells, to market the products that she sells. More specifically. People always compare her to Ariana with Fenty, who is very much like posting videos on Instagram every single day where she's like trying on the lip glosses and she did her Vogue 50 questions putting on the product. And, you know, like, I think with Rihanna, she's a lot more like relatable because. And I'm not saying Beyonce's not. We don't know her, but Rihanna, she's shown us enough online where we feel like we know her. And that really helps for products. And I think as a black woman, it's like I always try and support black things. So, like, when I'm going into the, you know, these makeup stores, I'm buying the Fenty. That's why I'm so excited about, you know, Beyonce being in Ulta because I am one to order off the Internet, but I'm in Ulta all the time because of my makeup. Now. It's an easy pickup, right? I purposely shop black owned brands not because they're black, but because if they're good and they're black and they're in these major stores, I do want to add to these numbers. I want to add to the numbers that are making other people say, you know what, we need to put these in all of our stores. I, I know how the game goes, right? Beyonce or not, Beyonce has never had a product line. Beyonce has a reputation. And it's not, I don't, I don't think that it's anything she's planned to do. But if we're being really honest, Beyonce does have a reputation for putting out products and them not doing what the people think that they should do. So 2006, it was house of Darion, and that was inspired by the three generations of woman. So you had her, it was like her grandmother, her mother, and then it's like, boom, it's her. And Solange 2010, Beyonce Heat, which was her fragrance. I do remember her doing a fragrance, but I wouldn't even have remembered the name if you didn't just put it up on Google. And I'M not being shady. I'm saying that to make a point. And we're going to get back to that point. 2010, she did parkway Entertainment, which is still around. That is her entertainment company that books all of her, like, tours and all that. All that stuff. 2016, she did Ivy Park. Ivy Park. I feel like Ivy park was a big conversation because it was Beyonce and she did great seating and great gifting and PR scents to different celebrities. But at the same time, I don't think that, like, the product was, like, the most loved, if I'm just being honest. Like, I think that a lot of us bought it. I think a lot of us wore it. I wasn't mad at some of the pieces. Like that purple jumpsuit with the orange. If anything I had to buy it would have been that. But I didn't buy Ivy Park. It was not completely my favorite. And again, I'm a part of the Beehive, but I'm just being honest. But then also too, she just dropped her whiskey. That came and went as well. And when the whiskey came and went, I think a lot of people started having the conversation that I'm mentioning where it's like, people are like, okay, Beyonce is super uber successful as a music artist, as a performing artist, as a touring artist, as a creative, right? Creating specials, you know, around her tours and stuff like that for Netflix and all these platforms. But can she sell a product? There are literally headlines that lean on Kim Beyonce seller products. I think with the Sacred, this is her chance to show people not only can she sell a product, but she really knows what she's doing. Like, she. It's really embedded in her. So I mentioned earlier that Beyonce's mom, Ms. Tina Knowles, has been doing hair for some time. And I remember watching a documentary that Beyonce had, and the. The thing that stood out the most to me was she actually told us that, like, she be doing her own hair a lot. I was surprised by that because I'm like, it's Beyonce. Like, what do you mean? And I know she has hair stylist, right? But I think when you're a person, like, I used to assist in the shop. So whenever my hair is not right and like, I have a moment where, like, you know, the lace not tinted well or like, whatever. I'm like, bro, what is going on? Because I know how. I know what it takes to simple fix this. So it bugs me when it's not. And her whole point at that time was like, she know herself the best, you know, with hair works on her Face and all of that. But a lot of that, and she talked about it in the documentary, comes from her mother. Ms. Tina Knowles has been involved in hair care for over 30 years. So Ms. Tina knows is the vice chairperson of Secret. For some reason, the same way I trust Rihanna with my. My makeup because she's always so cute, and, like, I'm watching her put on makeup and use it different ways and whatever, whatever. And then I tried the product, and it's fire. It sustains. It's good. I feel like that about Beyonce and hair care. And I know, like, again, Beyonce has had backlash about can she sell the product. She's had backlash about her actual hair and the hairstyles that she's worn. But for your mom to be in hair care for. I'm 33 years old, y'all, that's a whole nother baby. For your mom to be in hair care, a whole nother baby, 30 years. At some point, there's no way that you didn't learn and pick up. And y'all know that her mom used to do so much for her and Destiny's Child. I mean, clothing, House of Darion hair. I'm pretty sure you have to learn to pick up on something, and she's involved, so it's going to be there. I am really happy for Beyonce, really happy for the transition that she's making into the Altar stores. And I think a lot of people will be like, what's Beyonce? Of course, it's easy for her to get into the altar stores, but I want you to know, if that product is not selling, ain't no store gonna keep it. I don't care who you are. Your family's not doing 30 years of anything. You don't understand it. The same way that her dad understands business and was able to make her into Beyonce is the same way that Beyonce, who is now in this business, huge brand, business development guru, also understands hair care, period.
