Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 2, 2016December 2, 2016Leave a Comment

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara is like nothing you have ever seen before. In the world of mascara product formulas have been changed and the size as well as shape of the mascara wand has gone thicker or slimmer. Nevertheless, Covergirl cosmetics just leveled up by developing a ball tip design.

Covergirl So Lashy Mascara One Product For All Lashes

At first glance this particular product looks like it would put an eye out quicker than create glam eyelashes. However, we assure you that So Lashy is truly ingenious. Regarding its newest mascara Covergirl had this to say,

“Ever have a friend rave about a mascara, but when you try it your lashes look less than 100? Covergirl hears you loud and clear, so we designed new So Lashy Mascara, the mascara for every lash type. The unique brush grabs, sculpts, and molds short, sparse, long, straight, whatever lashes – for one end look that is bold, sexy and everything you want. Bold sexy lashes for all equals Lash Equality.”

So then, it does not matter what type of lashes you were naturally blessed with because So Lashy can make them even more beautiful. A true blessing in beauty disguise. However, back to the ball tip, why add that to a wand? Covergirl once again gave an answer by breaking down the mechanics of the entire wand stating,

“So Lashy Mascara was designed for all lash types. On the short side? The bristles lengthen. Set with straight? The arched rows of bristles lift. Anywhere in between? The ball tip will grab even the hardest to reach lashes, ensuring you that bold + sexy look you crave.”

Therefore, the ball tip is more like a lash finder. It can be used vertically as well as horizontally to get even the tiniest lashes to act right. Moreover, the tint of the Covergirl So Lashy Mascara is just as trans-formative. The deep, dark formula will make your eyelashes look more pronounced and readily visible.

Oh yeah! Last perk of this product is that it is waterproof! Look great in various weather conditions and get long lasting wear. Want So Lashy? Get yours now for less than $10 by going here.

However, Harry has handled every situation with grace just like his mother would have and has faithfully stuck up and by his woman. Yet, now the talk of the town is about another famous lady. Read on to get all the details on Prince Harry Meets Rihanna As Barbados Celebrates 50.

Long live HarRih! Alright, we will cool our heels because this looks to be just an innocent meeting. Prince Harry is visiting Barbados due to the country celebrating fifty years of independence.

Harry also delivered a message from the Queen who unfortunately could not attend. Harry said to all in attendance in behalf of the Queen, “Prince Philip and I send our warmest wishes to the Government and the people of Barbados… Our countries have shared history, shared values and an affection which continues to bind us.”

Besides helping Barbados ring in their freedom, Harry also took part in more humantarian work. He visited sick children at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown. His visit was definitely welcomed and he even received a hug from one of the young patients.

Prince Harry Meets Rihanna

Okay drums please, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. How did HarRih and the whole Prince Harry Meets Rihanna event come about? As all true fans know Rihanna hails from Barbados which makes sense that she would go home in order to celebrate such a huge historic benchmark.

Rihanna and Harry were both attending Prime Minister Freundel Stuart’s Toast to the Nation when they were seen shaking hands. An extremely happy looking Prince Harry looked ecstatic to meet superstar Rihanna.

Furthermore, we don’t blame Prince Harry at all for being so excited. Rihanna looked glamorous in a low cut blue gown accessorized with gold jewelry. Who knows maybe the pair will become good friends. At the very least we can expect some cool memes to be on the way!

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Arianne Suggs November 30, 2016November 30, 2016Leave a Comment

How can the perfect comfort food when surviving monthly cramps be so bad? Researchers for years have been trying to solve the mystery, does chocolate cause acne? Some can eat the yummy, delectable treat while others simply can not. Therefore, is there a way chocolate and skincare can actually come together in a positive way?

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Okay dolls here is the truth in a beauty nutshell. There is absolutely little to no evidence proving that chocolate causes breakouts. Alright, so what gives? Why do some people eat the coco and wind up as a pie face?

The thing is what has been proven through countless studies is that consuming a high-sugar/high-fat diet can lead to acne. This is because such a diet can increase sebum production thus promoting inflammatory responses within the body. Those responses is what leads to ugly breakouts.

Sebum is a greasy oil that is secreted from the sebaceous glands. We need sebum because it helps to lubricate as well as waterproof our hair and skin. Without sebum our skin and hair would lack moisture and dry out.

As you can see sebum can be good or disastrous. As mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Acne forms when too much sebum is produced. So then, you can begin to see why it is important not to do anything that may increase oil production. Besides watching our diet we would also want to avoid over washing our skin.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc – The Game Changer

So we have debunked the myth, does chocolate cause acne and now we are going to share some good news! The amazing scientists over at Cambridge have answered all of our chocolate prayers and developed Esthechoc. Esthechoc is a dark chocolate that comes packed with anti-aging benefits. Clinical trials of the chocolate have been very promising. One piece of Esthechoc was shown to reduce inflammation and promote firmer skin.

So then, they are telling us chocolate does not crack (wink, wink). Want some Esthechoc in your life? Get a 21 day supply of chocolate for $55 by going here.

This season go ahead and make them stare! There is honestly nothing more edgy or captivating than a gorgeous black hue. Get the look in a cinch with a Black Lipstick That Stuns! Moorrich Liquid Melanin Lipstick.

Black Lipstick That Stuns! Moor Rich Liquid Melanin Lipstick

Moor Rich is a California based lipstick line that is one of the best kept secrets of the beauty industry. However, the secret is quickly being leaked! The brand sells liquid matte lip colors that look drop dead gorgeous on us brownies.

Moreover, one of the best parts is that Moor Rich is a black owned company! Moor Rich is one of the brands that have been answering the call for more cosmetics to be made by us, for us. There are several shades of the line that are total stunners. For instance, there is a deep plum tint named Sheba as well as a rich brown color called Nefertiti.

However, it is the mesmerizing noire shade, Melanin, that has completely stolen our beauty hearts. Melanin does not disappoint and is easy to apply. FYI: For this particular black lipstick two coats was all we needed coverage wise. If you are a fan of matte lip tints then you will love Melanin and this line in general.

Application Tips: Black lipstick requires a little prep in order for it to last all night long. How can you achieve some serious staying power? First of all, start with a good base. Use lip liner or a deep brown/red lipstick as your base. After lips have been filled in with your selected base color then apply your black lipstick. The lipstick will have something to “adhere” to and stay put instead of performing a vanishing act.

Blonde Highlights

As Seen On: Ciara and Zendaya

If going full on blonde is not your cup of tea then adding a few well-placed highlights could be the answer. Zendaya and Ciara’s soft highlights are chic and sophisticated. This is how to do color on a very subtle basis.

Winter Hair Colors – Super Sick Shades

Vibrant Red
