Do you need to reconsider your skin care regimen for 2012? Need help achieving your short-term and long-term skin care goals? Consider the Spa Sonic Skin Care System which features a face and body polisher, is waterproof and can be used in the shower, bath and sink.
As disgusted as I am about the atrocity that is "Stupid Hoe" (a.k.a. this year's "Massive Attack" but I think the aforementioned could possibly be worse), I was still excited to read April Long's interview with the flamboyant femcee in the February issue of ELLE Magazine. I'm hoping Minaj can bring us a "Monster" to make up for the musical misstep.
Previously we learned Minaj depended on black soap and facials for her nearly flawless skin and in this new interview, she again reminded us the star product in her makeup bag: "I can't see myself without pink lipstick. I can go without it for a couple of days (see below), but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I'd be useless. Seriously." (more...)
With the announcement of Sanaa Lathan landing a beauty contract with esteemed hair brand Pantene for their Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Line, one could almost forget that there are famous beauty icons battling traction alopecia and other agonizing forms of hair loss.
The Something New bombshell believes in deep conditioning, routine trims and limiting exposure to heat tools. Furthermore, when she's not shooting a movie, she adores wearing her natural hair. Obviously, Sanaa's hair (and hairline) is still intact.
Additionally, in Ebony Magazine's "HAIR: Still the Ultimate Black Girl Divide?" segment, style editor Geneva S. Thomas chatted with leading hair and style bloggers to provide commentary on the tangled world of black tresses. While there were numerous points discussed in part 1 of the series, hair loss in women was not mentioned. (more...)
Editor's note: Recently Blaq Vixen Beauty asked the ladies of Love and Hip Hop what were their top 11 beauty, fashion and lifestyle picks for 2011. Up first is Love and Hip Hop executive producer and manager Mona Scott-Young.
As evident on Twitter tonight, Mona Scott-Young's (or Mona Scott King as she was called) guest appearance on Love and Hip was well-received. I loved how as a mentor, Scott-Young kept it real with Yandy, even though their talk did not seem to be as successful as we all thought it would be. Watch below:
Later, on Twitter, Scott-Young tweeted the following: "Hey my tweeps. Need [to] make the point that [although] I didn't agree with how Yandy handled that situation[,] it doesn't mean she's not a great [manager]. She's smart, dedicated[,] and loyal - all VERY important traits that are hard to find. Sometimes we all need a different perspective. Life is about correction...that's the beauty of waking up everyday. Our ability [to] learn from our past and apply that growth [to] our future."
And of course, Mona looked as fierce as she did in the Indique Hair video! Almost immediately after viewing the feature, the idea for this new mini-series sparked. I wanted to know what top beauty and lifestyle products kept the savvy trailblazer (along with the other ladies on the show) looking fabulous as they braved the drama and celebrated triumphs in 2011. Scott-Young has managed some of my favorite artists like Missy Elliot, Maxwell, Busta Rhymes and 50 Cent.
Here were Scott-Young's top 11 picks for 2011: [...]
