    /

    Without fail, I receive numerous requests for “Olivia Pope Pink Lipstick.” You can find all the information I’ve gleaned thus far in this post. I’ve compiled information about Olivia Pope’s mauve, pink and nude lip looks from the hit Scandal TV show.

    Throwback Thursday: Get Your Perfect Shag

    /

    I’m sure many of you are welcoming Fall with a new hair color and cut. I’m still not done experimenting with new hues this season, so I thought it would be great to post how to get your perfect shag with tips that celebrity hairstylist shared with Glamour magazine in July 2009: Start with the right cut. This remix (as Taraji P. Henson models here) of the classic bob is all about layers. Ask for longer ones on the sides and angled fringe. “Asymmetrical bangs add sex appeal,” says stylist Dante Blandshaw, who gave Taraji P. Henson her shag. Piece out.

    Say what you will about Rihanna but the chick has a face made for makeup. How many times have you marveled at celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales’s work? Can you say that you are not moved by Morales’ mastery of luminizer, lashes, and lips? Save it – I don’t believe you…and here’s why. At the iHeartmusic Festival in Las Vegas, Rihanna introduced us to “The Ruby in the Smoke” when she hit the stage in matte eggplant lips and ruby stiletto nails. Inspired by Rihanna’s scintillating Jeremy Scott Spring 2013 scrap, celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales revealed to Who What Wear Beauty that she decided to “go with a lip…

    Like generations of families, I too grew up with JOHNSON’S® Baby products and their classic scent and feel. In fact, before I go to bed I sometimes use JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Lotion, enriched with lavender, to lull Luca and myself to sleep! —Johnson’s Baby brand ambassador Hillary Duff Towards the end of February, Johnson’s Baby reached out to me to become of their official brand ambassadors on their Johnson’s Baby Cares Council platform. I was absolutely shocked to even be considered. Fast-forward to me finally sharing this great news with the Blaq Vixen Beauty family.
