I think I've been subscribed to every beauty box out there. Birchbox, ipsy, fab fit fun, you name it, and I can tell you about it. If there is something that most of them have in common, especially when they include makeup, is that some of the products are meant for people with lighter skin color.

Jasmine Harris,one of the three women behing HuesBox  had a similar experience to mine:

"If it was makeup, the coloring would be off, Lipstick, the shades would be inappropriate for my skin tone", she told MPR news.

Those experiences encouraged Jasmine, her sister Janae & her mother Robin, to create a suscription box designed for the multicultural market oftten forgotten about. So when they approached me to try their very first box I happily accepted because what they are doing is something totally different to what I've seen before.

This is by people of color, for people of color — not just African-Americans, Africans," said Robin Harris, Jasmine's mother. "We're talking about Asians, Hispanics and American Indians because it's this missing component of other boxes that are out there."

I know there are already some suscription boxes specifically for women of color on the market,  but what makes this subscription box unique is that they include items from small businesses, and each month will have themes based on ethnic traditions. This month theme is "detox", (what a better what to start the year right?), and it included all kinds of products, from a lip balm by sailor Girl, made by Native Americans in a reservation in Idaho, to a face mak by Brown & Coconut a 100% plant based natural skin care brand. Let's take a look shall we?

The Kale mask by Brown & coconut is designed to calm irritation, hydrate & repair blemishes. It sounded like something I desperatyle needed so was the first product I tried. This is a very generous sample size because you only need a little bit of product for each application , I still have lot left. The mask smells exactly like vegetable soup, and it dries very quickly. After 5 minutes I couldn't even move my face. I remove it after 20 really long minutes, and made my skin very soft, and reduced the apperarance of some zits. The downside about this one, (besides the smell) is that made my skin very itchy and tingly the whole time I had it on. I wouldn't recommend it for someone with very sensitive skin.
