    Black-Owned Brands: 5 Seen at the 2016 VMAs

    /

    I spotted five black-owned brands at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. Take a look: Black-Owned Brands: Coloured Raine (Loraine Dowdy)  x Hood By Air (Shayne Oliver) x Rihanna 2016 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award Recipient Rihanna was the lady of the night, treating us to four melodic performances of her greatest hits. Per usual, celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales came through with the glam beat, using Chanel and Caudalie for the face: $400 La Creme Ultimate Skin Regeneration Moisturizer  $60 Le Teint Ultra Tenue Ultrawear Flawless Foundation $58 Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour SPF 15 in No. 40 $18 Caudalie Beauty Elixir From what I can tell, Rih had…

    Shopping #Empire: Camilla Marks’ DVF Metallic Gold Mia Playsuit

    /

    In “The Devil Quotes Scripture,” Naomi Campbell guest stars as Camilla, a London-based fashion designer who embarks on a scandalous affair with Hakeem. When we first see her, she struts into Laviticus in a DVF metallic gold playsuit with Christian Louboutin Foilles Resille Pumps on her feet. Black fishnet tights sheathed her enviable gams. If you look closely, she has an Alaïa Laser-cut Leather Clutch tucked under her arm. I’ll catch the replay over at the Fox website to see if I can identify her shoes. I’ve been on a roll lately! Photo: Facebook

    Pharrell Glytone Skincare Regimen: Get Lucky!

    /

Living by the maxim “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” the ageless star laid down the first law of immaculate skin: You have to clean your face. You can’t sit around and assume it’s going to be OK.  I wash my face every day – don’t be afraid to wash yours before you go to bed! I, too, used Cetaphil for a spell before switching over to organic, cruelty-free skincare products from black-owned businesses. Sometimes, I use select products from Peter Thomas Roth, GlamGlow, and Ole Henriksen.
