Naturally gorgeous Kerry Washington recently recorded a L'Oreal Live UStream with her hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew in which she talked about the products that helps keep her hair shiny, healthy and gorgeous. I was extremely happy to learn that she's a fan of the L'Oreal Everpure products since I invested a couple of products from this line (the EverStrong Overnight Repair Treatment and the EverStrong Deep Replenishing Masque.)

Celebrity makeup artist Valente Frazier mostly used all L'Oreal products along with a "beautiful baby pink blush" on her cheeks and "a little concealer under her eyes and around the corners of the mouth." Kerry just looked fabulous all around!

Forgive me - I just found out that this new inclusive palette from Iman Cosmetics is hitting stores January 15th! By the looks of it, the IMAN EYE-CON Collection, $35 seems to be a great item for someone who wants to step up their eye makeup game (like me). It has a built-in mirror, four trios of eyeshadow shades (Classic Smoky, Golden Romance, Edgy Emerald and Cool Violet), brow liner (Blackest Brown Eyebrow Pencil) and a jet black eye liner (Jet Black Perfect Eye Pencil). Of course, easy-to-follow instructions are included so that you can take your dazzling looks from classic to shimmering, smoldering or radiant.

Iconic is just a swipe away.

The fashion inspiration behind Deola Sagoe was a "precise, no-nonsense, geometric, mixed media feel in military tones of black, pewter, grey and navy."

The concept behind the makeup was "emphasis on bold, dramatic brows with sheer, neutral contoured face, eyes and lips."

The fashion inspiration behind Loincloth & Ashes was "a fusion of soft and architectural textures in putty, charcoal and black popped with touches of lapis blue."

The concept behind the makeup was "emphasis on bronzed skin and soft earth-toned eyes and lips."
