The Shades Of U Legal Page

Disclosure:

The FTC recently came out with regulations concerning product endorsements.  This blog's disclosure is nothing fancy or complicated. This blog is a personal blog written and edited by the editor.  Like any beauty blog that has been around for a while and has substantial readership, a number of companies has offered product samples for review.  The Shades Of U has accepted product samples and still accepts them up to this day, but this practice does not in any way influence this website's opinion on the application or performance of the product.  To reiterate: the product received specifically for review will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. 

The Shades of U publishes, from time to time, sponsored posts that do not affect the integrity of its reviews.  Moreover, all the reviews on this blog reflect the editor's honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experience on the product being reviewed. Keep in mind that each individual's skin reacts differently to a certain kind of skincare product or makeup, so it is always best to take each review with a grain of salt and to try the product for yourself. However, as regards to the editor's own experience with the product, they were honestly described in each and every review created and published on The Shades Of U.


The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owner's.  The Shades Of U will only endorse products or services that the editor believes, based on her experience, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

Many times, however, being a beauty junkie, the editor buys the products she features on this blog with her hard-earned money.  The editor tests the products and features them as she deems fit.
