This act and message in the name of sisterhood didn’t occur by accident. Actually, Kerry Washington put the wheels in motion herself. Paola Mendoza explains,

“About a month ago I got an email from the EIC (Editor-in-Chief) of Glamour asking me if I wanted to interview Kerry Washington for the cover of the magazine. I of course said yes! I soon found out Kerry had actually requested that I write the story.

Arianne Suggs April 18, 2017April 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Good evening… tonight we are dialing up a self taught makeup artist that certainly knows how to make a statement! She hails from Baltimore and describes herself as “fearless.” Let’s get into the makeup looks of the lovely Bianka Manderson!

Late Night Beauty Call: Bianka Manderson The Gutsy Makeup Artist

Bianka has caught our attention several times on the Gram and trust us we are not the only ones. Manderson’s presence on Insta has grown to 40K followers and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon. One aspect of Bianka Manderson’s beauty repertoire that we love is her use of color. She creates stunning eye makeup looks that are as vivacious as her fun personality.

Nevertheless, she doesn’t limit herself to bold shades on just her eyes. She also utilizes vivid shades on her lips. For instance, we about died when she recently rocked a cobalt blue lip color.

The blue lipstick is made by mega beauty brand, Smash Box Cosmetics. The lip shade is called “Iced Out” and is apart of the brand’s Be Legendary Liquid Lip Collection. Your welcome.

Bianka Manderson – Embracing Flaws

Another reason we love this beautiful girl is for her transparency. In world full of filters and photoshop, Manderson is willing to inspire others by showing her “real” self. She recently, performed a tutorial demonstrating how to cover acne.

In the before and after she still was gorgeous. However, it is nice to see a brave face helping other girls love themselves while teaching cool makeup tricks and tips.

However, it is last night’s fashions that has us reeling. Rihanna brought the denim trend even more to the fore in a creation from the Matthew Adams Dolan Fall 2017 RTW collection. We got the full details on her voguish night out!

Fashionable Mention: Matthew Adams Dolan Fall 2017 RTW Worn By Rihanna

“When you came dressed to be team turtle at the Kendrick Lamar show.” Fenty’s words, not ours. However, we thought she looked a wee bit better than that. For the Kendrick Lamar concert Work singer wore a denim Matthew Adams Dolan Fall 2017 garment. This isn’t the first rodeo for Rih and Matthew Adams Dolan. For iD Magazine Rihanna rocked another oversize denim look from the Pre-Spring 2015 collection (See Below).

Nevertheless, this couture marriage between the two is a perfect match. Fenty finished her fit with vintage Maison Margiela boots and of course, more sunnies. Her chic sunglasses are from the Adam Selman x Le Specs collaboration. Fire.

Beauty Notes: Monday blues anyone? For the Monday night Kendrick concert Rih went bold with blue on blue. Pulling a tone from your ensemble is a simple way to achieve cohesion with your overall look.

One thing to remember is to keep the rest of your face simple if one aspect of your beauty look is packing major heat. Rihanna‘s boisterous electric sparkling blue lip color is glamorous all on its own. Therefore, by keeping her makeup easy going she made her lip shade a major star.

Travel Monday: Air Force Plein Private Club Inside Milan Mega Mansion

Elegant, posh and oh so swank. We could go on and on about all of the club’s numerous features. However, we will let the man himself give you some of the deets. Plein reveals,

“Welcome aboard Air Force Plein, the most exclusive private club in the world. Find it in our Corso Venezia 7 store in Milan. Air Force Plein is a private club which serves only champagne and caviar during the flight! Every month we will fly to a different destination and change the inflight entertainment program accordingly.

Early bookings are required and we can only seat you if you have a Boarding Pass with your name on it.

Air Force Plein Private Club

In the words of Janet Jackson, “Fasten your seat belts darling, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.” Just this month Philipp Plein announced a new development for his private club. He states, “Air Force Plein is going to host every month one exclusive party for frequent travelers and high miles club card holders only!”

It looks like things just became even more exclusionary. Nevertheless, that is why it is such a trendy hot spot. If everyone could get in it wouldn’t be so darn special. Therefore, be sure to get your hands on those Boarding Passes so that you can make your jet-setting that much more, wait for it… legendary!

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Coachella 2017 Gucci Couture Ensemble

Arianne April 17, 2017April 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Coachella always brings out fashion’s “It Girls” and their stylish personal flair. The Rihanna Coachella 2017 ensemble that is garnering tons of attention is her head-to-toe Gucci couture look. It is totally high-end without sacrificing any festival vibes. We are here to break down her fabulous look in today’s Fashionable Mention!

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Coachella 2017 Gucci Couture Ensemble

Move over Zorro we have a new masked hero. Rihanna hit the 2017 Coachella scene in a fit straight from the Gucci Fall 2017 Menswear runway show. It had everything. Glitz, glamour and TONS of edginess. You know typical Rihanna appeal.

The singer sported Gucci’s infamous “Common Sense is Not That Common” tank top, distressed denim cut-off shorts as well as a sequined body suit. That last item is what got us. To wear a glittery body suit that also covers the face you have to have the presence and personality to pull it off. Rihanna did so without a hitch.

Furthermore, last year at Coachella Rihanna made us swoon over her Gucci sunglasses. You may remember the photos that emerged with her and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. She was wearing the glasses in those photos. If you do not recall, check out our Instagram (1966mag) and scroll back to this fashion moment.

Rihanna Coachella 2017 — **Gucci Fall 2017 Runway Look**

Anyway, this year Fenty rocked another pair of Gucci sunnies. Her glasses of choice is the Gucci Rectangular-Frame Sunglasses with pearls. These sunglasses retail for $1,105! However, when you’re Rihanna the world is your oyster (wink, wink).

Style Notes: Another reason we are huge Rih style fans is because she doesn’t just design fashion, throw it out there to the masses and then end her connection to it there. She actually wears her own clothing! Case in point, for Coachella take a look at her feet. They are adorned with her very own platform sneakers from the Fenty x Puma collaboration. Ugh… fire!

Coconut Hair Shampoo – Perfect For All Types of Hair

Lori Lane April 17, 2017April 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Repunzel let down your hair… or awesomely amazing curls! There’s no guesswork when it comes to haircare. Most people want a head full of voluminous, healthy strands. However, with hair loss being a major concern for people of all ages, the demand for hair products to handle this issue and more has been on the rise. As a result, many hair care shampoos have been introduced into the already competitive market. Fortunately, use of natural shampoos like coconut hair shampoo are not only recommended, but can work for just about any hair type.

Furthermore, Coconut oil based shampoos are rich in moisture and can help regain any lost hydration very quickly. This is the main reason why several shampoo manufacturing companies and hair professionals use coconut oil as their secret hair treatment. Nevertheless, what are some other hair problems that coconut hair shampoo can help resolve and why should this particular product be given a chance?

Coconut Hair Shampoo – Perfect For All Types of Hair

Dandruff, hair loss and dry scalp are just some of the common problems faced by women across the globe. Regular use of coconut hair shampoo can help resolve all these haircare issues. How?

Let’s first dive into how all of these hair situations can occur. Dandruff is a common issue that is caused by a fungus named Malassezia Globosa. Scalp dryness on the other hand may occur due to frequent washing or brushing of the hair.

Moreover, excessive shampooing can also leave your scalp devoid of all essential natural oils. This in turn can lead to dry scalp, hair and even dreaded itching. The natural oil secreted by your head is known as sebum and it contains medium chain fatty acids that work to prevent dryness of the scalp. These oils get depleted when the elements, wrong products or excessive hair washing strips them away.

Wondering how coconut hair shampoo can help you?

Coconut oil also has the same medium chain fatty acids included in it. Hence, use of coconut oil based shampoo can replace valuable lost moisture/oils on your scalp. Use of coconut oil as a conditioner is not a completely new concept. Traditional countries like Sri Lanka and India have been using them for ages. In fact, the Native American Indians used to apply coconut milk or oil as a conditioner and sometimes even rubbed grated coconut on their head before taking a shower believing that the moisturizer in this oil would hydrate their hair and scalp.

The same concept has been made used in the manufacturing of coconut shampoo. Lauric acid one of the key ingredients of coconut oil, when converted to monolaurin and used in coconut hair shampoo provides the same antimicrobial and antifungal properties as the oil itself. These antimicrobial and antifungal properties prevent the growth of dandruff causing fungus. Which means your scalp will be healthy will transform into a great base as well as platform for hair growth.

Coconut Hair Shampoo – More Pluses

Some of the many other benefits of using coconut hair shampoo are mentioned below:

Coconut hair shampoo nourishes your scalp and makes the hair root and hair follicles healthy.
Coconut oil has ingredients which are very good anti-oxidants. The same when included in shampoo can delay early whitening and hair loss.
Coconut hair shampoo has proved to be an effective moisture retainer and thus prevents dryness of scalp.
Vitamin E is essential for healthy looking skin and hair and coconut shampoo is rich in vitamin E. Thus use of this shampoo helps in regaining healthy roots.

If you want to protect your hair from the damage that is caused by detergent and soap based shampoos, use coconut hair shampoos. Regular use of this shampoo can leave your hair smooth and shiny.
