This Designer's Nude Masks Landed Her The Collab Of A Lifetime With Fenty Beauty


Shami Oshun is a fashion designer based in California, who is taking the internet by storm. It all started back in September, when she created an 11-nude shade line of face masks to match the variety of shades of Black women. The masks became so popular that her customers asked her to match them to their Fenty foundations, where they made a chart as a guide.

The masks took off from there, all the way to the point of being invited to collaborate with the brand itself to, in the flex of the century, design a limited edition, early-access mask for the brand.

As a quick background, Oshun built her brand in 2015 "to provide unique and timeless designs to the world." Since then, her work has received recognition from a variety of media outlets, including Essence, British Vogue, Huffington Post, and Buzzfeed. According to her website, she is most known for integrating 3-D printing with fashion to push the boundaries of wearable art, and the 3-D printed Bev Bag, which is designed to carry your beverage (boba, coffee, wine glass, etc).

And since, well...

Since, Oshun has released a line of nude masks, which were eventually partnered with various Fenty's Pro Filt'r longwear foundations, and that sold out immediately. This caused the Rihanna-backed empire to take notice and invite her along, which they announced in a tweet:

"We saw @ShamiOshun break the internet with #PROFILTR inspired masks & asked her to create one just for our EARLY ACCESS Beauties! Sign up for SMS & EMAIL alerts at fentybeauty.com/signup to get your limited edition SHAMI x FENTY BEAUTY masks while supplies last!"

Needless to say, her page went up (cause it's stuck) with all beauty lovers alike, running to her page to celebrate her for the classic shit that Black women continue to do.

Some celebrate the Blackness of the moment:

Some explained their ‘why’:

Most took notice on the all-too-familiar:

Oshun has been overwhelmed with the love shown to her since the announcement and is busy at work getting the people their new masks. She may have a newfound wave to ride, but she still took the time to thank everyone in a simple tweet:

Now, that’s how you clear a brand! Congratulations, on your success Shami!

Three Influencers Show Off Their 2022 Holiday Hair Looks Using Their SheaMoisture Faves

This post is in partnership with SheaMoisture.

For Black women, there’s one compliment that will boost our confidence like none other: “Come through hair!” You know the vibe! Walking into a room with folks acknowledging that your hair is laid for the gawds, and the effort that it took to get it there, is a top five feeling. And with the holiday season just weeks away, you’ll be hearing that quite often. Between Thanksgiving gatherings with the family, Friendsgiving, company parties, and Christmas get-togethers, the opportunities to let your hair show up and show out aren’t too far away.

Apart from the holiday stuntin’, the end-of-year slow down is also the perfect opportunity to reevaluate the year your hair has had. Whether you kept it cute with protective braids, went big with blowouts, or let loose with textured twist-outs, this is the perfect time to give your hair the gift of TLC - tender lovin’ curls. Like the weather, our hair goes through seasons and has different needs depending on what we’ve put it through. Perhaps the transition into fall/winter has left your curls a bit parched and in need of some serious hydration. Or maybe your strands could use some restorative conditioning after taking it down from a convenient protective style. No matter what category you fall into, SheaMoisture has hundreds of ways that you can clean, treat and refresh your hair for a healthy shine that will bring you into the new year right. Bring your curls back to life with the nourishing and fragrant Coconut & Hibiscus line. Boosted with natural ingredients such as coconut oil, neem oil, carrot oil, and shea butter, this line is the antidote to reviving thirsty, dehydrated hair. Even better - with SheaMoisture’s custom quiz, you can get a hair analysis that will lead you to the right products for your hair needs. Say hello to sleek edges, and moisturized, stronger strands.

In need of a little hair-spiration? We got you covered! xoNecole and SheaMoisture have teamed up with three natural hair influencers to debut their holiday hair looks. Meet Ambrosia Malbrough, Jasmin Moses, and Daye Covington - beauty bawses who’ve created some incredible holiday looks that are stylish and easy to achieve. They also gave us the scoop on the SheaMoisture products they’re loving right now, as well as their 2023 hair goals.

Ladies, This Is How To Date Smart Instead Of Hard

While recently talking to a couple of early 30-something never-been-married-before women about how much they want to settle down, and yet, at the same time, they’ve gotten to the point where they almost loathe the thought of dating, I got inspired to write this article.
