Nicki Minaj is proving to be one elite travel fashion girl! Minaj has been living it up in the lovely Turks and Caicos for the past several days. She has been spotted lounging in one jaw-dropping after another. We didn’t think she could beat her enticing red swimsuit but boy were we wrong!

Travel Fashion Girl: Nicki Minaj Turks and Caicos Luxury Couture

Versace, Versace, Versace! A new favorite look from Nicki’s Turks and Caicos stint has emerged. We spotted the hip hop mogul wearing a Versace swimsuit accompanied by blue Chanel flip flops and plenty of gold jewelry.

Now these Chanel flip flops are definitely a must-see. They are embellished with gold chains and come complete with the signature Chanel logo. It seems as though Nicki was gifted with these and was more than happy to receive them. On social she stated,

“Thank God you blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over you. Baby good looking out. Best thing you never had. Thank you for this epic gift.”

We want to be gifted too (LOL)! Nicki is one lucky girl who we wouldn’t mind raping her closet every now and then. Nevertheless, back to the topic at hand. Our favorite piece of Nicki’s travel fashion girl look is the cover up.

Minaj’s chic printed beach cover is by J. Bailey. It’s long and flowing design just screams effortless glamour! Furthermore, it is perfect for when you still want to turn heads yet hide the goods. Way to work it Nicki you definitely killed this one!

Beauty Quickie: How to Perfect Your DIY Manicure

Arianne Suggs December 11, 2016December 11, 2016Leave a Comment

Sometimes a DIY Manicure can look like…well, you truly did it yourself. However, don’t despair because getting the pro look at home can be achieved with one simple trick. Read on to learn how to easily avoid the oh so common messy nail paint finish.

Beauty Quickie: How to Perfect Your DIY Manicure

If you were not born with steady hands painting your nails can feel like your two years old again and trying to stay within the lines of a coloring book. Many companies have designed products to help make things less stressful. Think of the recent spray paint phenomena that allows users to spray on color and wipe away the excess. However, there is something even easier that you can try.

Vaseline. Say what? Yes, good ole Vaseline is a very low cost solution to ensure a great DIY Manicure. It’s effective because if you happen to paint or get nail polish on your skin it will not stick. Therefore, you will be able to achieve a nice clean look that will look very professional. All you have to do is:

1. Dip a Q-tip in Vaseline before you apply any polish.

2. Take the Vaseline Q-tip and rub it on your cuticles as well as all around your surrounding skin.

3. Get to painting.

DIY Manicure – Final Words

When applying Vaseline to your skin do your best to avoid getting any on the actual nail itself. Yes, you may not want any nail polish on your skin but you do want it to stick to your nails. If you do happen to get Vaseline on your nails clean it off with another Q-tip that has been soaked in rubbing alcohol.

Lightly spray the pins with hairspray or dry shampoo.
Allow the pins to dry for 1-2 minutes before inserting them into your hairstyle.

Glowing Skin : Where Should I Really Place My Blush?

Arianne Suggs December 8, 2016December 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Glowing skin is a sign of health and vitality. We see the look in magazines, online ads, social media and even on TV. Nevertheless, despite popular memes beautiful and fresh looking skin is not something we all just wake up with every day. So then, is there a way to get our glow on without all the fuss?

Glowing Skin : Where Should I Really Place My Blush?

In a word, the answer is yes. With the help of cosmetics you can achieve a gorgeous glow up. The best part of all it will also look completely natural. Uhm, sign us up please!

Blush is a surefire and simple product to use in order to create natural glowing skin. However, the truth is sometimes many just do not know where to place it. There have been quite a few beauty debates on the subject. It was even thought that blush only belonged on the apples of the cheeks. Yet, such placement often times did not work on all face types and shapes. Therefore, is there an universally pleasing way to apply blush?

Once again dolls the answer is yes. Ramy Gafni, a highly sought after makeup artist from the NYC area says the best way to think about it is to envision a clock. As you gaze into the mirror while looking at your face try to picture where the hands of a clock would be. On your left cheek you would want to brush on blush at 10 o’ clock. Moreover, on your right cheek you would want to do the same at 2 o’ clock.

After applying the blush you of course would want to blend for a flawless finish. Very simple right? With just a few swipes of blush placed in the right spot you two can showcase a natural glow.

You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

Arianne Suggs December 8, 2016December 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Have you been using facial cleanser all wrong? As they say time is money, but the fact is that most of us do not take enough time to really get the most benefits out of their cleanser. Therefore, what is the right way to cleanse the face so that gorgeous, healthy skin may be had?

You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

It may come as some what of a surprise to learn that using facial cleanser comes with a bit of a time factor. It is more than a splash, soap up and splash again process. So then, how long should you be cleansing?

David E. Bank is a renown dermatologist who is based in Mount Kisco, New York. Bank reveals that it takes at least one minute for cleanser to do its thing and work. As a result, if you are spending less time than sixty seconds then you probably are not getting things as clean as they could be.

Young woman washing her face — Beauty Reflection Time: Are you taking enough time to properly clean your face? Clock yourself one day in order to know for sure!

Therefore, the key to all of this is to simply slow down. Give your cleanser the time it needs to get in there and clean out all the gunk and dirt that could cause break outs and other skin issues. Furthermore, to make things easier try using your phone’s timer so that you can get a full 60 seconds under your belt before rinsing. Your skin will thank you for the time well spent!
