Blaq Vixen Beauty Reviews Black Crown Natural Hair Care
A || B A C K S T O R Y This haircare review is terribly overdue, but here it is, finally! I was contacted to review select products from Margaret Mason’s Black Crown Natural Hair Care line, namely the Peppermint and Tea Tree Shampoo, the Hemp Hot Oil Treatment, and the Moisturizing Oil Spray. All of these products are for women and men with locs. My celebrity inspiration for this review was “Shameless” star Shanola Hampton. If I ever decide to loc my hair (I have flirted with the idea), she would be the first to grace my vision board. She looks simply divine with her lengthy, roping strands. Black Crown even has a Loc…

Fish Mooney Gotham Makeup Look for #Gotham Season 1
Blaq Vixen Beauty breaks down Fish Mooney Gotham makeup look by celebrity makeup artist John Perkins. Is Fox’s new hit show “Gotham” a must-see for you on Monday nights at 8/7c? If not, here’s a reason to watch: Jada Pinkett Smith. As Gotham’s feisty and fashion-forward crime lord Fish Mooney, Pinkett-Smith is utterly delicious. She satisfies my desires for all things dark and dangerous. And of course, as I am in love with her wardrobe! According to costume designer Lisa Padovani, Jada’s leather and metallic dress as “80’s Versace/Mugler inspired.” Three parts Stephanie “Queenie” St. Clair, Griselda Blanco and Norma Desmond, I love that Jada is on this show.

Shopping #Gotham: Fish Mooney’s Gold Fringe Ear Cuff
In “Selina Kyle”, Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) wore two of my favorite things: a gold fringe ear cuff and a sizzling halter gown. Her exact jungle-inspired ear ornament is the Maria Francesca Pepe Gold Fringe Single Ear Cuff. The cutout teal halter with twisting gold hardware she wore on Gotham is something I’d definitely wear. Ear cuffs have been on my radar since 2012, but Maria Francesca’s version outshines all others. Even Chio’s Delfine Chain Fringe Ear Cuff excites me! It’s available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $295.

#Scandal 4 x 1: Back to Life From the Beach
Situation at the Location: Livin’ La Vida Pacífica In the opening scene of “Randy, Red, Superfreak and Julia,” Olivia (a.k.a. Julia Baker) has gotten her life on the coast of Zanzibar. Curly, bouncy natural hair reigned supreme for the political fixer since we last saw her. Her beach was better with a pair of Dior Exquise Sunglasses, her Monique Pean White Diamond & Gold Cage Ring, a white Kosmos by La Perla Mare Non-Wired Swimsuit, a Roberta Freyman Nicola Dress Magik…and Jake. I imagined the former B-613 operative bathing her in countless ounces of Coola Body SPF 30 Unscented Moisturizer. These moments happened, of course, between rounds of sultry beach sex. Olivia’s lip-of-the-day, always, was…
