To me, travel deeper meant finally going to the Motherland, Mama Africa and connecting to the land of my ancestors. I am five generations removed from American slavery and a granddaughter of sharecroppers. But my story -our story- does not begin there. We invite you to join us and reflect, return, and be restored. We invite you to travel deeper with us.

Sacha Cosmetics began operations in 1979, in Trinidad and Tobago. Our vision was to develop a line of makeup that all Caribbean women could wear and genuinely look better versions of themselves. Today, through innovation and continuous improvement, SACHA is the most advanced brand of makeup ever developed for multicultural women - African, Hispanic, Asian, Indian and other women of color. The line consists of a wide range of high-performance products that look equally exquisite on light, medium and dark complexions. The fact that our products work so perfectly on dark skin, while those in other brands do not, gives the brand a unique crossover appeal and superior marketability. Our foundations fit like a second skin, never look two-toned and do not oxidize. Pro Powder is the only powder foundation that does not look ashy on dark skin. Buttercup Liquid Foundation perfectly matches every exotic skin tone and is mask-friendly, with all day rub-off resistance. Our Liquid Lipsticks are color-intense and smudge-resistant while our eye shadows do not disappear on dark skin. The most popular product in the line is our world-famous Buttercup Powder, which solves the decades-old problem of darker women, looking ashy in bright lighting and photos. On Amazon, it is the “Top Rated” Face Powder with 5,000 five star reviews and an unprecedented 4.6 star rating. The brand is sold in SACHA stores in the top shopping malls in Latin America and the Caribbean. In North America and Europe, it is sold online on Amazon. In Colombia it is sold in our own stores and in La Riviera, the largest high-end retail chain in Latin America. The brand epitomizes diversity. In stores that carry the line, it attracts new customers, satisfies an unfulfilled need and significantly enhances the customer experience.

Founded in 2018 by Arieal “Ari” Smith-Liburd, Suite Eleven is a luxury nail care brand that offers a vibrant, non-toxic and affordable option for beauty enthusiasts everywhere. Work to bring Suite Eleven to life began in 2015 when after months of suffering from an undiagnosed skin condition, Ari saw a specialist who discovered the cause of her frequent outbreaks: a number of chemical and food allergies. She was forced to toss almost all of her beauty products. While on the journey to find skin-friendly alternatives, Ari decided to create one of her own, reviving a childhood pastime of visiting nail salons with her mom, the inspiration for her brand name. Best known for its toxic-chemical-free formula, Suite Eleven products do not contain formaldehyde, parabens, camphor, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde resin, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), or fragrances. They are also vegan and PETA-certified. Suite Eleven successfully supports both healthy and glamorous lifestyles. The toxins are missing, but not the quality ? lacquers are premier, high-shine, and rich in pigment. Soon to be a top choice for natural beauty aficionados and salon professionals, Suite Eleven’s first collection launched in April 2019 with six Coachella-inspired shades.
