Arianne Suggs July 31, 2014July 31, 2014Leave a Comment

We know this is going to be tough, but we are going to ask anyway…please put down the black eyeliner. Whew, okay that wasn’t as bad as we thought! Of course, you can use whatever color eyeliner you fancy, but this season white is the new black.

This hue will be able to make your eyes pop for all your onlookers. We have seen this look on the runway and on celebrities such as Eva from ANTM. We love this makeup trend and feel that it gives off a nice retro yet modern vibe. So then, if you are looking to update your look just a little it is as simple as a switch in color.

Late Night Beauty Call: Nicki Minaj

Arianne Suggs July 25, 2014July 25, 2014Leave a Comment

Nicki Minaj has made quite a stir with the release of her cover art for her forthcoming album which drops on July 28. Fans and beauty enthusiasts have been noticing Nicki’s style changes over the past few months. Gone are the colorful locks, one of a kid outfits, dramatic eye as well as lip tints. In their place Minaj has been serving up a big dose of natural beauty, which is why we have dialed her up!

Although we enjoyed seeing Nicki’s risk-taking looks we are enjoying her more subdued makeup. She’s a gorgeous woman who truly doesn’t need any extra bells and whistles to look fabulous. We wish we could have this Moment For Life and talk about Nicki all night, but our call has come to an end. We think the beauty lesson for tonight is that less is more.

We have been spotting this fab hairstyle a lot lately on the streets. Fashionistas are sporting long, thin French braids that even go beyond waist length. This style is great for protection and perfect for on-the-go ladies looking for an easy to maintain style.

Pretty Keri Hilson rocked her version of the look and even showed it off on the Gram. Hilson’s braids added a little more oomph to this hair trend by incorporating purple tips. We absolutely love it, it’s a very subtle addition that allows you to showcase your wild side.

We See You Sun!

Arianne Suggs July 21, 2014July 21, 2014Leave a Comment

When most people think of sun damage the first thing that may come to mind is their skin. However, it is not just your skin you need to be worried about when it comes down to the sun’s harmful rays. The sun literally sucks the moisture out of our hair like a straw in a soda pop can.

Therefore, after prolonged exposure your tresses can begin to look like a character straight out of the Wizard of Oz… straw. To help your locks maintain moisture and lustrous shine you need to wear or use materials to shield them. Hats, scarves and umbrellas are great stylish accessories to get this task done. Also, by styling your hair in a braid or bun can help to protect delicate ends from getting damaged.

Summer Hair Inspiration: Rihanna never goes wrong in the hair or personal style department. Whether loose or curly RiRi shows that a chignon can be flirty and fun!

Rowland’s deep waves reminded us of Egyptian queens and goddesses. The style is elegant, chic with a hint of sassy allurement. Kelly was all smiles for the dinner and posed it out with Carmelo as well as Tina Knowles. What do you think of Kelly’s hair look, would you wear it?

Milk Does Your Tresses Good

Arianne Suggs July 18, 2014July 18, 2014Leave a Comment

Milk may do your body good, but it can do wonders for your hair as well. All you need to do is the day before you shampoo and condition your hair is soak your tresses in whole milk. Really work the milk in, massaging it from roots to the ends. After you have massaged in the milk leave it on for at least an hour then rinse with water.

The next day shampoo and condition your locks like normal and you will immediately notice that your tresses are luxuriantly glossy! Whole milk aids in bringing lustrous shine to your hair. Perform this milk treatment as often as you wash your locks to help breathe life into dry, brittle strands.
