Shopbop Spring 2019: Celebrity Jewelry ID Edition
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:

#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…

Feature image courtesy of Essence.com. This is a sponsored post for Motions through The bLink Marketing Network and Lunchbox, all opinions are 100% my own. It’s Monday, and I am squealing like Kelly Rowland! Starting this week, many of my favorite black Hollywood actresses will dominate the small screen this season. We can thank Kerry Washington, who plays Scandal‘s Olivia Pope for, to quote Sleepy Hollow star Nicole Beharie, for ripping “open that hole.” I am rooting for every last one of these talented souls to usher in this exciting wave of feminine, melanin-rich entertainment – it almost reminds me of the ’90s again! Motions assures that “no matter what…

Kerry Washington 2014 Emmys Makeup
Kerry Washington by Carola Gonzalez: Neutrogena, Kevyn Aucoin and Dior skin. Kerry’s skin is always exalted as “naturally flawless” so I’ll continue with the accolades. I’m sure Gonzalez followed a similar regimen in preparing Kerry for this year’s Emmys: Prep the skin with Neutrogena Visibly Even Moisturizer to even out her skin tone, apply foundation where needed (Kerry usually wears Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in #9 but Gonzalez used Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX11) and add a touch of warmth with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Natural Radiance Bronzer in Sunkissed. Based on the behind-the-scenes snap shared on Twitter, Kerry is also wearing Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Bronzer and Blush Duo in Raisin Glow, a “universal…

Here are some of my most revered beauty items on sale now this week, in collaboration with ShopStyle, Amazon, and other e-tailers: Beauty Items on Sale: Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue Celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose chatted with Harper’s Bazaar about the look he created for actress Lupita Nyong’o at last night’s Non-Stop LA Premiere.

Bypassing blue mascara, Barose instead applied Ardell Lashes Color Impact Lash Demi Wispies in Blue. He then coated the base of the…
