Best Makeup For Dry Skin: Too Faced Hangover Rx

To beat an actual hangover you need to replenish things that alcohol unfortunately stripped away from the body. This same tactic can be applied to skincare. Oftentimes skin can be stripped of much needed moisture due to outside elements such as dry, winter air.

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

perfect little black dress 2

Well alright, alright, alright! The woman that coined the phrase “flawless” is surely looking like that and more! The mommy-to-be of twins is not allowing her pregnancy change up her Sasha Fierce style. While most expectant ladies would be turning to sweats and oversized dresses, the Queen of the Hive is boldly showcasing her bump. We spotted Beyonce in the perfect little black dress and she is absolutely fabulous.

Beyonce Wears Perfect Little Black Dress

There are some fashions that should be found in every woman’s closet and one is the perfect little black dress. That is because it does not matter the season a LBD (little black dress) will always look modern and chic. It literally never goes out of style. Therefore, if you want a garment that is trendy and will outlast other trends a black dress is the way to go.

Beyonce turned up the heat with her black gown by incorporating another hot 2017 trend, cut-outs. Cut-outs are the perfect way to add a slight touch of sexiness. Moreover, Bey kept her accessories to a minimum so as not to overpower her LBD. She finished her look with a choker, ring, thigh high boot heels, matching black handbag and silver earrings.

Hair Notes: When your dress has that sauce you don’t need to overdo it. Think like Beyonce and fashion those locks into a voguish chignon. Add drama like Queen Bey by creating a deep middle part and leaving some face framing strands to flow freely. The result will be beautiful and alluring.

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Wears YSL Winter 2017 Glitter Boots

It’s sparkly fashion world and we are just enchanted to live in it! Regardless of the season, we always love anything that dazzles, shines and gleams. Therefore, it is absolutely no surprise that YSL had us gagging over their Winter 2017 Paris fashion week show. All thanks to a pair of eye blinding glitter boots that we immediately had dreams of placing directly into our wardrobes. However, one uber famous style-lista has already beat us to the fashion punch! UGH, so unfair!

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Wears YSL Fall 2017 Glitter Boots

The YSL 2017 Winter collection itself was modern, edgy and simply fierce. Literally, models strutted down the grimey catwalk with long handbags like they were baseball bats. As if to say, “Don’t mess with a real one hunty!”

Yet, in a sea of black and neutral toned couture a spark of 70’s glamour shone through. The YSL 2017 Winter Glitter Boots are such sweet retro vibes. Its as though someone murdered a disco ball. Donated it to science and out came a pair of boots that were definitely made for walking! If Soul Train was still running some fabulous dancer would be rocking these bad boys on the very next episode!

But wait, didn’t we say a fashionable star already is in ownership of these bomb boots? Music and fashion sweetheart, Rihanna, snagged Anthony Vaccarello’s design right off the runway. She posted these couture gems on her social media platforms with the caption, “Mood.”

Like RiRi we are certainly in the mood to have a pair of our own. We are this close to starting a GoFundMe page so that every woman in the world can be a baddie in these blinged out boot heels. So what do you think dolls, would you wear these shoes?

Rihanna Wears YSL Fall 2017 Glitter Boots

Come now, you think we were really going to end this post without giving you the full scoop on Rihanna’s fits? Of course not! So let’s talk some OOTD shall we loves?

Rihanna is the queen of designer duds and paired her YSL glitter boots with distressed denim and edgy graphic print shirt as well as leather jacket. She wore a Raf Simons Patti Smith Printed Sweatshirt along with a Schott NYC Classic Perfecto Motorcycle Leather Jacket in Black.

In the accessories department we loved how Rih kept the bling theme going without competing with her boots. She incorporated humongous hoop earrings and delicate necklace. Quite the look for visiting a library (The France National Library in Paris) but Rihanna slays wherever she is around the globe.

Thanks Girl! Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine

Kelly Rowland has always had a skin tone to die for! From her DC (Destiny’s Child) days to the present she is still killing it. Not a single wrinkle or blemish as far as the eye can see. Black may not crack, but the fact remains that a great skincare routine helps too. Recently, the fab singer and fashionista shared her daily beauty regimen.

Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine

Four products make up Kelly Rowland’s daily morning ritual. They are Clarisonic, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen, Is Clinical Cleansing Complex and Katalaya Skin Care Gentle Cleanser. This just goes to show that a few products as well as minutes can give you the skin you really crave.

Upon this big beauty reveal a few celebrity dolls weighed in on Kelly’s skincare routine. Tennis player, Serena Williams, mentioned, “Mine consists of hot water and a towel.” A little humor that definitely a lot of us can relate to!

Nevertheless, Rowland’s products are at the top of our skincare routine list. Clarisonic is great for deeper cleansing and we also love the fact that they have developed brush heads that serve various purposes. You can tell the difference by looking at the brush heads hues. For instance, blue is for deep pore, green works for acne cleanse and pink is specifically for radiance.

However, if you are in the market for an awesome cleanser consider Is Clinical Cleansing Complex. This is product that is formulated with a powerful antioxidant blend that includes Vitamins A, C and E. Also, is great for congested or acne prone skin as well as those who require a more “gentle” formula. Furthermore, because it is so gentle it can be used daily. Score!

Lastly, dolls do not sleep on wearing sunscreen. Melanin is not a superhero barrier against  sun damage. You may not burn as easy as lighter skin tones but you still need to protect your body’s largest organ, the skin. Do this by using Kelly’s pick, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen. It’s perfect rain or shine and since it is oil free it will protect you with a SPF of 30 without clogging pores.

Pixie Haircut Styles: Janelle Monae 2017 Oscars Style

As the famous saying goes, “A woman who cuts her hair, is about to change her life.” The big snip can be quite the switch up as well as exhilarating. However, some ladies shy away from such an edgy hair look in fear that style options may become too limited. Nevertheless, this past Sunday, Janelle Monae proved that pixie haircut styles are not only gorgeous, but also versatile.

Pixie Haircut Styles: Janelle Monae 2017 Oscars Style

Janelle Monae just became the Queen of pixie haircut styles and we hope her reign never ends! Monae already had all eyes on her as she graced the 2017 Academy Awards red carpet. She effortlessly floated past all the flashing paperazzi lights in an exquisite gown by Elie Saab.

Janelle’s dazzling fashion was from the Autumn/Winter 2016-17 collection which included beautiful, regal statement chokers. The Elie Saab show actually named, Impressions of NY, got its inspiration from of course the city of New York as well as nature, human streets as well as industry skyscraper heights. With fashion this luxurious it requires hairstyling that is just as high-end.

Monae’s chic cut fit the bill perfectly. The wispy styling gave great texture and by strands being somewhat “back” it allowed the focus to remain on her dress. Nevertheless, that does not mean her hair didn’t get any of the spotlight. We adored her voguish headband which brought her queening vibes altogether. Moreover, it added just enough drama to her cut without being overwhelming.

Plus, Janelle Monae’s hairstyle demonstrates how easy it is to add more pizzazz to shorter lengths. Think headbands or jewel encrusted hair pins or accessories. They’re not just for 5-year-olds dolls, so then use to change up your short hairstyles in a cinch.

Choose A Barrel Curling Iron For Your Hair Type

A woman’s greatest vanity is said to be her hair. Moreover, hair styling holds the highest distinction in the world of beauty treatments. Haircuts, blow drying, curling, extensions, waves, perming – there are so many different things you can do to your hair. But perhaps one of the most popular components of hair styling is using the barrel curling iron. However, do you know how to wield the right one for your strands? Relax babes, we will explain how!

Choose A Barrel Curling Iron For Your Hair Type

What is so special about the barrel curling iron? Women the world over love how quickly you can achieve a number of styles. For instance, you can create bouncy, voluminous, curly locks. Also, not to mention being able to give your hair a lovely sheen as well.

Nevertheless, did you know that there are different kinds of barrel curling irons? Each curling iron varies in size, material and most importantly some are made for a certain type of hair. It is prudent to research well, before you purchase any, because you certainly wouldn’t want to harm your hair.

barrel curling iron

The first step is to take a look at your hair and judge its type – whether it is silky, rough, super-fine, fine, frizzy, oily, dry, coarse, etc. If you’re unsure of how to go about this, go to a professional or buy a guidebook that can help you. People with coarse, frizzy hair, must choose a curling iron that comes with a higher heat setting to be able to hold the curls in place (a temperature of around 400 F), while those with finer hair (or choose to rock silkier hair), or super-fine hair, should opt for one with a low heat setting.

Testing out with a lower heat setting first is best for your tresses. Doing this also gives you the chance to experiment and see which temperature is able to hold the curls best for your type of hair. Nonetheless, besides getting the temp right, choosing the material a curling iron is made of is just as vital.

Barrel Curling Iron – The Materials

Metal-plated curling rods are not usually recommended as they provide a burst of heat at once that can cause damage your hair. Consequently, leaving hair brittle, rough and with split ends. Especially if you use the iron regularly.

So then, what material should one want to use? Tourmaline and ceramic are the most recommended variants as they produce a low controlled amount of heat rather than direct heat. This in turn keeps your hair healthy and gives it a nice glow as well.

Additionally, the size of the curling iron barrel is also important. For larger curls, one needs a barrel that is about 2 inches. Moreover, for basic medium-sized curls a size of 1 inch is good enough. While small, tight curls require a 0.5 to 0.75 inched barrel.

Most importantly, don’t experiment blindly with your hair. If in doubt, visit a hair store or your local salon for help. They’ll be able to guide you correctly.

Furthermore, spraying a heat serum or thermal spray before using curling your hair will ensure protection from any heat damage. Also, don’t go for the cheap curling irons. Ceramic curling irons might be a tad bit expensive, but they’re the best for any type of hair.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line…the 90s Keep Coming Back

O-M-G dolls! We totally feel transported back to simpler times of trapper keepers, Moesha, Sister, Sister and Boy Meets World. 90’s kids lived vibrant lives and enjoyed some of the coolest toys and products. One of them hands down without any contest was Lisa Frank.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line…the 90s Keep Coming Back

Actually, in reality Lisa Frank was responsible for a whole slew of awesome products. Lisa gave us folders, tee shirts, wall paper, leggings and stickers galore. Moreover, there were also pens, pencils, backpacks, tank tops, sweatshirts and even hats.

She was literally your one stop shop for back-to-school goodies. At summer’s end when it came time to buy school supplies Lisa Frank was definitely one of the things you were tossing into the basket. Hopefully, without mom noticing how much you were running up the school supplies tab (haha).

Nevertheless, what was the appeal? Why did so many young girl’s flock to Tar-Jay (Target if you’re bougie) every year to get their little hands on some merchandise? Simply put Lisa Frank is one of a kind.

When you get a glimpse of a LF product you instantly know its a Lisa Frank creation. The cutesy use of animals both real and fairytale, plus don’t even get us started on the colors! Just an explosion of epic-ness making contact with your line of vision.

Every piece and product has also always been so well developed with the signature boisterous use of hues and shades. In turn, making everything so extremely fun as well as entertaining to look at. You could spend as much time trying to find Waldo in a sea of people as you would trying to take in one illustration created for a Lisa Frank folder. Her products are seriously that dimensional.

Furthermore, thanks to Lisa Frank, a girl’s world truly could be chalk full of unicorns and rainbows. She made it cool to enjoy being bold and girly simultaneously. Most importantly, Frank was one of the first brands to really cater to young girls and make it a real lifestyle.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line- The Time is Oh So Right

With all that being said it seems so crazy that it has taken this long for things to get this point. A marriage between makeup and Lisa Frank feels as though it should of occurred almost two decades ago, but times were different back then. How so?

In the 90’s kids were still… well kids (LOL). There was no such thing as Youtube tutorials, contouring or social media pics showing how to achieve a “beat face.” Little girls played in mommy’s makeup smearing lipstick across their tiny faces. However, it was just that, playing.

Back then there was no real connection between the beauty industry and young girls as well as pre-teens. The only real makeup little girls were rocking back then was Barbie peel off nail polish, clear roll-on lip gloss and flavored Lip Smackers lip balm. If you care to know we were addicts over the soda pop ones. Specifically, Dr. Pepper.

However, we digress. If you really want to see why a LF cosmetics line may have not worked too well in the 80’s and 90’s just look over a little visual evidence. Seriously, compare pics of young girls now with young chicks from the 90s and the pics are drastically different.

Nevertheless, all of this just illustrates just how times have changed. Young women have more of an interest in makeup now. Everyone wants to look flawless and post about it online. Blame it on social, TV or even the movies. It doesn’t really matter, the fact is just as many 12 year olds know about Urban Decay as a 25 year old.

Therefore, this creates the perfect atmosphere for more brands to not only widen their consumer base, but get on the ground floor to scoop of customers they will have for decades to come. To fill and reach this new market they are promoting younger brand ambassadors and even pushing aside typical models for more “real” relatable girls. Nevertheless, that is the beauty of Lisa Frank, she doesn’t have to create youthful appeal, her products already possess it.

Lisa Frank Makeup Line

Alright, by now we’re sure you are wondering what you can expect from the upcoming Lisa Frank Makeup Line. Frank has collaborated with New Jersey based company Glamour Dolls in order to create fresh, fun products. If you are afraid of the Lisa Frank classic style being comprised don’t be. Jessica Romano, the co-founder of Glamour Dolls promises, “Our brand is bold and colorful and fun and it just aligns perfectly with her image and her brand.”

Whew! Well that is certainly beauty music to our ears. Furthermore, if you look up Glamour Dolls you will find a slew of festive tinted products accompanied by awesome spunky names. Definitely Lisa Frank-esqe. Also, another thing we love about GD is that they create cruelty-free products. Therefore, you will be able to indulge freely without feeling like you are doing damage to the animal kingdom.

So then, what’s on tap first for the Lisa Frank cosmetics line? So far on the Glamour Dolls website you will find an angled blush brush. Frank personally designed the artwork and you will instantly notice the familiar unicorn print on the brush’s handle. Plus, there’s more products on the way!

Already set to be apart of the lineup is a: highlighter powder, liquid eyeliner, makeup bag and mousse lip color. Moreover, one product we are salivating to see is the Unicorn Lippie. Like what will that look like and what will be it’s shade? Only time shall tell and we can’t wait!

Glamour Dolls promises that the collection will be perfect for young girls as well as adults who adore the brand and of course…color! If you would love for things to progress quicker with the Lisa Frank line, remember money talks. Head on over to Kickstarter to donate to the line. Already $100,000 has been collected so things are definitely plowing on ahead.

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Beauty Tip-To pump or not to pump that is the real question! Applying mascara can give your eyes a major pop, but there’s something that many girls do that can turn into a real ugly problem! No matter what ladies NEVER PUMP your mascara. Instead scroll on to learn a really easy tip for rectifying this issue. Nevertheless, why do we do it in the first place? What is the deal with pumping mascara out of a bottle anyway?

Applying Mascara: Pumping Mascara Out of Bottle

Well to make things simple, most women engage in some pumping action in order to place more product onto the mascara product’s wand. Usually this becomes necessary when a mascara is a little older and not so much formula seems to make its way out anymore. Girls think by vigorously pumping they will save time and get more formula out the bottle.

Nonetheless, whether your mascara is old or not you just should not pump at all when applying mascara. Pumping a wand in and out actually works against your desired result for two reasons. For one, the air that gets trapped inside the bottle dries out the liquid inside. Also, you could force in bacteria as well as cause your mascara to clump and flake. Can you say yuck?

Moreover, in the long run this can result in spending more money from having to buy mascara much sooner than otherwise expected. Therefore, to avoid this what should be done? Is there any makeup trick that can be utilized to get more product out without drying out what’s inside?

To get more quantity (mascara formula) onto the mascara brush simply twirl the brush. Yes dolls just twirl those wands inside the bottle like you are Gone with the Wind fabulous! However, to avoid forcing unwanted air into the bottle, simply give the wand a nice and easy 90 degrees twirl before pulling it out.

As you can see applying mascara doesn’t have to eventually cause a potential beauty disaster. Just do the twist with your wand. Twirling will lessen the amount of trapped air so that you can create a nice separated, voluminous look.
