    Shop Small, Buy Black: Our Shade of Brown Mother’s Day Special

    Editor’s note: My Shade of Brown is now Our Shade of Brown. I’m back momentarily to share a great deal from Our Shade of Brown. The founder, Meki Adefris, in preparation for the May launch, thought it would be an excellent idea to offer a Mother’s Day special in which the first 50 people can try this premium beauty service for just $5. Simply sign in, clear your account, and click the “Join Monthly” button to get your discount. If My Shade of Brown is not a hit with mom, simply log back in and cancel your subscription. Looking at this as an outsider, this is a great way to appeal…

    Our Shade of Brown: The Blaq Vixen Beauty Review

    Blaq Vixen Beauty reviews Our Shade of Brown. After weeks of playing around with the first installment of Our Shade of Brown, two beauty trends you can easily try are hot pink lips and a smooth, satin complexion, courtesy of Big Girl Cosmetics Lip Shine and Yana Cosmetics Satin Finish Foundation, respectfully. Natural/Organic Beauty | Our Shade of Brown A prevalent theme in this first pillow box is the natural/organic beauty motif. Four out of five products are organic with the exception of the lip shine. Then there’s the price—you won’t find too many beauty boxes that cost $10/month and offer great products that work well for women of color. Overall, for their first effort, I’d say Our Shade of Brown shows promise. In future installments, I hope Our Shade of Brown continues to include brands of this caliber. In the meantime, score fuchsia lips and satin skin!
