"Ami Colé's lip treatment had a permanent spot in my pocketbook; the sheer, juicy, candy apple shade Smitten has the perfect amount of color for no makeup girlies like me. I didn't reapply it because I had to — it stayed put for hours and nourished lips like no other. I did so because I wanted to. Few lip products do what Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye's did. She created a brand that celebrated Black and Brown women by creating good-for-you formulas that elevated our makeup experience. She made us feel like there was something extra-special waiting just for us and no one else when we walked into the store to shop. I will miss her for this — and more." — Jackie Fields, deputy beauty director, People Magazine
