    Celebrity Nail ID: Beyonce Wears Gelish Tiki Tiki Laranga

    /

    Mr. and Mrs. Carter visited Club Reign to celebrate with colleagues and champagne while “Drunk In Love” blasted in the background this past evening. Celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan shared on Instagram that Beyoncé wore Gelish Soak-Off Gel Polish in Tiki Tiki Laranga, a cream from their summer 2011 Gelish Neon Rio Collection. This color is very similar to the electrifying NCLA tangerine color she wore to the Presidential Inauguration earlier this year. Bey sure does love her orange nail polishes, doesn’t she? To see it in real life, Lena from Glam By Lena reviewed Tiki Tiki Laranga in her May 2012 post. This summer-approved color has also been spotted on Mary J. Blige, as you…

    Love my @spasonic! Use it every morning:) #beautysecret — Nana Meriwether (@NanaMeriwether) October 17, 2013 Watch this space! Ebates is offering cash back so sign up! Please make sure to buy your Spa Sonic between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. PST to qualify. I bought my sister the Spa Sonic December 2011. This deep cleansing brush was a great starter alternative for me. Of course, I later bought a Clarisonic, but the Spa Sonic was a great introduction to at-home sonic cleansing. Even Nana Meriwether, Donald Trump’s Miss USA 2012, is a fan. See her tweet above.

    Rihanna AMAs Makeup

    /

    I missed this year’s American Music Awards but thanks to my Instagram feed, I was able to catch the highlights. Of course, Rihanna stole the show. The Empress (as the Navy calls her) won the first-ever Icon Award with a classic cat eye, glowing skin, nude talons…and a smooth doobie. Yes, you read that right: a sleek wrap with bedazzled bobby pins was the look Rihanna chose to accept the special merit award at the American Music Awards. Jessica Andrews breaks down the protective style on Elle.com

    Sanaa Lathan Selfies: Tips & Tricks to Get Her Look

    /

    Want Sanaa Lathan selfies? There’s hope — get your best photos yet! Around three hours ago, I received an email on the Oxford Dictionary Word of 2013: “selfie.” Instantly, I thought of reigning selfie queen Sanaa Lathan. The actress is a sexy social media beast with a magnificent mane thanks to celebrity hairstylists Larry Sims and Kim Kimble, respectively. She was instrumental in hyping up her fans for The Best Man Holiday, the long-awaited sequel to 1999’s The Best Man. To quote Margena A. Christian’s “Return of the Black Pack” in the November 2013 issue of Ebony: For Holiday, Lee had to up the PR ante, but like a pro, he rose to the…

    Color Story: Garcelle Beauvais’s Disco Makeup

    /

    Celebrity makeup artist Troy Jensen (one of my faves) recently shared his take on Saturday Night Fever by tapping actress Garcelle Beauvais to be his “Disco Muse.” Drawing inspiration from 70’s goddess Donna Summer, Jensen transformed Beauvais with dramatic black eyes and glossy bold lips. Her makeup palette is as follows: Jensen “blended shades of vibrant purple over a black cream liner.” He listed four products to get the look: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Potent Purple, Essence STAYS no matter what jumbo eye pencil & shadow in Powerful Purple, Sephora Eye Graphic 4 Colors Palette in Violet Smoky, and Hard Candy Shadowholic 12-Hr Waterproof Eye Crayon in Purple Rain. The black cream…
