Jayda Cheaves Beauty

Okay, so after seeing all the hype around Jayda Cheaves' Waydamin Lip Kit, I finally took the plunge and tried it out for myself! As a huge supporter of black women dominating the beauty space, I was genuinely excited to see what Jayda's brand brought to the table. And let me tell you, I have some thoughts, especially for those of you wondering if this kit is worth adding to your routine! First up, the lip pencil. The shade I got was absolutely gorgeous – a perfect nude that really defined my lips without looking too harsh. It glided on smoothly, which is a huge plus for me because I hate pencils that drag. My only hang-up, and why I mentioned repurchasing if she makes a sharpenable version, is that this one felt like a twist-up. While convenient at first, sometimes those can run out quickly or break, and I love being able to really sharpen a pencil to a fine point for precise application. If you’re into a soft, defined look, this pencil definitely delivers that subtle, 'Clean Vibe' definition. Now, for the star of the show for me: the tinted lip gloss. Seriously, 10/10! I'm usually not a huge fan of pink-toned makeup, but this gloss completely changed my mind. The shade was beautifully sheer, giving my lips a healthy, natural flush without being overpowering. What truly made it a game-changer was how lightweight and non-sticky it felt. You know how some glosses feel thick and gloopy? This was the complete opposite – it felt hydrating and comfortable, almost like a balm. It gave that perfect 'juicy' lip look that’s so popular right now, and it definitely helped achieve that glossy, 'Clean Vibe' finish I saw in the promotional images. It wore nicely for a few hours, and even when it faded, it left a pretty tint behind. Then there's the lip oil. This one was a 7/10 for me. I was super intrigued by the shimmer I saw in the bottle, but honestly, it didn’t translate much onto my lips. I was hoping for a subtle sparkle or a luminous effect, but it just looked like a regular, albeit nice, clear lip oil. Don’t get me wrong, it felt nourishing and added a good layer of hydration and shine, which is great if you're layering it or just want a simple glossy look. But if you're buying it specifically for the shimmer payoff, you might be a little underwhelmed like I was. It’s still a decent hydrating oil, but it wasn't the standout for me. Putting it all together, the kit really does help create that effortless, put-together 'Clean Vibe' look. The nude pencil, paired with the sheer tinted gloss, gives you a polished yet natural pout that’s perfect for everyday wear or for complementing a more dramatic eye look. I found myself reaching for the gloss constantly. Regarding the $75 price point, I know it might seem steep to some. For me, I’ve definitely spent more on individual high-end products that didn’t deliver. Considering the quality of the gloss and the pencil, I feel like you're getting a solid product. It’s an investment, yes, but if you're looking for a high-quality lip set that performs well and supports a fantastic black-owned brand, it’s worth considering. For me, the gloss alone almost justifies the price! My tip for using this kit is to start with the pencil for definition, apply the tinted gloss generously, and then if you want extra hydration or a subtle top-up throughout the day, use the lip oil. You can also wear the gloss or oil on their own for a quicker, fresh look. Overall, I’m still an 8/10 on the kit and genuinely excited to see what other beauty gems Jayda Cheaves Beauty will launch next!
