For the week of January 7-14, I decided to post a bit more beauty posts this week so I wouldn't be tempted to deviate from my goal for this month! Out of the ten beauty stories we posted this week, six were based on a press that I received in the past two weeks. In fact, the most popular post this week was derived from a press release about Dr. Dre's new video "Kush." Here are the posts for the second week of January just in case you missed them:
- Video Vixens Vamp it Up in Body Drench, Ardell Lashes and China Glaze
- Should You Avoid MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder?
- Which Makeup Look Do You Like Best on Melanie Barnett-Davis: Edgy or Natural?
- Sephora and ShopBop Team Up for Color Play and a Giveaway
- How to Get Dania Ramirez's 2011 People's Choice Awards Makeup Look
- Jessica White's Blush in Maybelline New York's Limited Edition 2011 Calendar
- Enter to Win Sephora's Urban Decay 15 Years of Beauty Sweepstakes
- Limited Edition Sephora by OPI Gleek Chic Collection Preview

Can you believe that The Game is coming back in 4 days on January 11th? I can't believe it either but I will say that I have found new faith in online petitions. I think this show was well worth the wait and I am totally psyched. But for now, I want to discuss Melanie's new look - obviously she is more glamorous now that she's Mrs. Derwin Davis. As key makeup artist LaLette Littlejohn said, "[Melanie] is married and she's glammed up because she's a footballer's wife now. The look is more 'Victoria Beckham' and much more edgy. She's definitely had a come-up. She's a sharp dresser. The makeup is fun, clean and classic."
I've temporarily given up my search on where to find her silver and black color block dress but I've seen quite a few of you are still inquiring on where to buy. Let's just hope that this dress wasn't made specifically for her character!
Anyway, I'm not sure that this new look is really fitting for her - as someone on Facebook said, "She's all Beyonce'd up now!" I adored her long hair in seasons 1 and 2 but the short, funky 'do in season 3 really did it for me. The wavy chestnut weave, the contouring, the seductive red lips...I know it's been two years but she has changed quite a bit!
What do you think? Maybe I'm overacting about the promotional pictures but I am hoping that we will still be able to relate the Melanie that we all know and love! What do you say?

Editor's note: I could not find a better photo of Tia Mowry-Hardrict on the Mo'Nique Show so I had to crop this one from YouTube...sorry!
I didn't post this earlier because I wasn't sure whether or not if Tia Mowry-Hardrict was wearing a Brian Lichtenberg (was trying to spot the hood!) or another dress. Now I'm pretty sure it was the French Connection Samantha Sequins Dress she wore on The Mo'Nique Show last night:
Honestly, the fit of the dress threw me off since I noticed that the fabric seemed to be stretched a little over her stomach. Yes - Tia is three months pregnant and she is expecting her first child with her husband Cory Hardict in July 2011! I must've missed this announcement last night when she and the crew (sans Brittany Daniel) visited The Mo'Nique Show to promote The Game.
I actually like this dress better than the Lanvin for H&M dress she wore on The Wendy Williams Show. However, I must say that I wished Tia chose another shoe choice! Shop these similar styles from ASOS, Michael Kors, Nicole Miller and more:
