Blaq Vixen Beauty

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:

1. Video Vixens Vamp it Up in Body Drench, Ardell Lashes and China Glaze
2. Should You Avoid MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder?
3. Which Makeup Look Do You Like Best on Melanie Barnett-Davis: Edgy or Natural?
4. Sephora and ShopBop Team Up for Color Play and a Giveaway
5. How to Get Dania Ramirez's 2011 People's Choice Awards Makeup Look
6. Jessica White's Blush in Maybelline New York's Limited Edition 2011 Calendar
7. Enter to Win Sephora's Urban Decay 15 Years of Beauty Sweepstakes
8. Limited Edition Sephora by OPI Gleek Chic Collection Preview
9. Will You Enter Black Opal's True Beauty Model Search?
10. Nails of the Week: Zoya Nail Polish in Kristi from the Wonderful Collection

Just in case you're watching the season 4 premiere of The Game today, enjoy these fashion posts:

1. Tia Mowry-Hardrict Wears French Connection Samantha Sequin Dress on The Mo'Nique Show
2. Tia Mowry-Hardrict Wears Lanvin for H&M Hot Pink Dress on The Wendy Williams Show
3. Melanie Barnett's Wedding Dress from The Game TV Show, Designed by Stacy Beverly

The MAC Pink Friday 4 Lipstick poll is still going on! Two more weeks left before I either host a giveaway or do a post on how to wear this limited edition shade. I wish I had more information about when MAC Cosmetics will bring it back. So far, 57% percent of you want me to do a post on how to wear it plus post dupes for Pink Friday 4.

Also, are you need in some free software geared toward women? If so, then enter our ChicaPC-fix Software giveaway. 20 winners will each receive a 1-year license key by email. This giveaway will end on January 29, 2011 at 11:59 PM PST.

Anything new in your world? Have a great weekend!

I meant to post earlier about the Sephora Color Play 5-in-1 set, $30 which was created in collaboration with ShopBop. Today, I ventured onto the ShopBop website and saw the iconic Faces of Fashion editorial lookbook that influenced the runway-inspired sub palettes:

Will this set be a best beauty buy in 2011?
