Hispanic Heritage Month only lasts from mid-September to mid-October, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop supporting the Latinx community when it’s over. The Latinx community is flooded with various brands tailoring their products to your needs and VALLEY is here to highlight a few!
Beauty
Lunar Beauty was created by beauty influencer Manuel Gutierrez—aka Manny Mua. New vegan formulas have allowed for Lunar beauty to create an array of products suitable for both men and women. “Our LB = symbol represents our support for ALL walks of life, doesn’t matter who you are, we love you,” according to Lunar Beauty’s website.
Vive Cosmetics is a Latina-owned and operated beauty brand founded by first-generation Latinas Joanna Rosario-Rocha and Leslie Valdivia. After seeing a lack of diversity and representation in the industry, Rosario-Rocha and Valdivia set to be the change the community needed.
“Vive Cosmetics’ story has become less and less about lipsticks and more about celebrating the diversity and power of the Latina and Latinx community,” according to Vive Cosmetics website.
Fashion
For the perfect accessories, Sunday Energy has a variety of products from earrings to necklaces at an affordable price. Created by content creator Melissa Flores, each piece brings a different element to the brand, appropriate for every occasion.
“GRL Collective is a Latina founded lifestyle brand for grls that give a f*ck,” GRL Collective said on their site. The ethical, eco-friendly and sustainable brand not only provides its customers with apparel but a wide array of products from cards to totes.

Mantras can come in any form and any language. The power of a mantra and your daily dose of positive affirmations can boost your mood tremendously! Jen Zeano Designs is offering a wide range of home decor from pillows to drinkware, and not to mention decals of your favorite Spanish mantras.

Hispanic Heritage Month doesn’t have to end and only be celebrated within the set dates. Supporting businesses is an ongoing thing. In times of division, unity is the best form to heal — and why not look cute while doing it?
