    Beyonce wears Rokael Beauty Lashes by celebrity makeup artist Rokael Lizama. I hadn’t posted a Bellus Beauty Bite in a minute so I went through my saved Instagram posts for inspiration.

Cute, concise, and curation-worthy, here is the end result. Furthermore, Rokael Beauty Lashes is a Latinx-owned small business so naturally it qualified for a little Bellus showcase.

    Shopbop Spring 2019 offerings are here! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, and even more time has passed since my last Celebrity Jewelry ID entry. In 2014, I wrote about Lupita Nyong’o wearing several Vita Fede pieces but, unfortunately, never continued the series. Because I’m aiming to diversify the content here on Blaq Vixen Beauty, I’m detailing which celebs have worn select pieces available to buy now:
