The 13 best checked bags of 2024, tested and reviewed

Mischo Beauty nail polish

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $15

Do you want to add a vibrant color to your nails? Check out Micho Beauty. While pregnant, founder Kitiya Mischo King had difficulty finding safe, non-toxic nail polish, so she created her own. All nail polishes from these brands are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, gluten-free and artificial fragrance-free. Plus, they’re 10-chemical free, meaning the formula is free of the 10 most common (and sometimes controversial) chemicals in old nail polish.

Take Off Luggage 18-inch personal item

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $120

Stephen Davis has created a compact suitcase so passengers don’t have to use overhead storage — and avoid paying extra airline fees. This smart bag may look like any other carry-on, but it has wheels that pop up at the push of a button so you can store it under your seat, turning it into a personal item. The luggage also features an innovative interior design with a storage zipper on one side, elastic straps on the other, plus a TSA-friendly lock and sturdy side handles.

54 Thrones Big African Beauty Butter

Credo of beauty

Buy at Credo Beauty $24

If the harsh winter air is causing your skin to dry out, this shea butter from 54 Thrones could remedy the situation. Based on Christina Tegba’s Nigerian upbringing, the brand promotes natural beauty through skin care. Nigerian shea butter is designed to protect and regenerate the skin, and all its ingredients, including vitamins A and E, are sourced from African cooperatives and artisans.

Harlem Candle Company Lady Day luxury candle

Harlem Candle Company

Buy on Amazon $48

This Harlem-based company has been shining a luxurious light on the candle industry since 2014. Founder Teri Johnson combined her love of fragrance, jazz, and the vibrant spirit of Harlem and turned those passions into a brand that designs luxury scented candles and home fragrance products.

The Lady Day candle is inspired by the iconic singer Billie Holiday, and its fragrance is a combination of white gardenia, coffee flower and neroli flower, a flower that Holiday wore in her hair during her live performances. This double wick candle provides a clean, even burn that lasts for over 80 hours.
