Kim K. Shows Off Her 'Low-Key, Natural' Look in Allure! /

Yes, you’ve read the headline correct! Kim K toned it down a tad for the March issue of Allure Magazine, as she vowed to do in the new year. Back in January, the Kardashian said she’d be doing a lot of things differently with the start of twenty-twelve.

Instead of her signature smokey eyes, piles of mascara and glossy lips, Kardashian appears natural and nearly make-up free on the cover! Not only did she ditch the make-up but she also dropped her usual full-curly mane.

Kim is a natural beauty,” makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi shared with Allure. “So we wanted to show her as naturally as possible, like she had just come back from the beach."

Tell us, what do you all think of Kim’s natural look? Me personally, I love it! This just proves that Kim K. is gorgeous with or without makeup.
How many celebs can say the same?

Will You Rock LaLa Anthony's New Makeup Collection? /

La La Vazquez Anthony is partnering up with Motives Makeup to launch her signature makeup collection for women of color. Yes! The REAL basketball wife has revealed her plans of an upcoming cosmetic line via Twitter: ‘Guess what’s coming in 2012 --->*sneak peak…giggles*” and posted a twitpic of colorful lip glosses, eye shadows, blushes and MORE. TV personality and wife of New York Knick Carmelo Anthony already has somewhat of a successful career, so this is not the beginning. It is said that LaLa was discouraged by the lack of options for women of color when it comes to cosmetics, therefore she created her very own.
LaLa’s collection will be available for all skin types with emphasis on foundations to match all ethnic skin tones from light to dark. The collection will also include lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow and shimmer.

The makeup is expected to launch on the Motives website sometime in February.

Let’s have a toast to LaLa for putting her entrepreneur pumps on and expanding her career horizons.

2011: The Hair Evolution of Rihanna /

From her edgy bobs to loose tresses, Rihanna has made some bold hair decisions that seem to have all worked out pretty well! This Pop Princess is not only known for her raw talent but she’s also famous for her impeccable style & frequent hair style changes. Within the past few years, Rihanna has rocked almost every hairstyle possible. It’s like she never fails to disappoint us! Before this good girl went bad, her tresses have gotten longer, shorter, curlier, redder to longer again, blonder and everything in-between. Just this year, I’ve watched Rihanna change her hair more times than I can count on one hand.

It’s kind of fascinating being that most women panic at the thought of changing their hair. Rihanna seems to NEVER bore us. She's not afraid to take bold risks, especially with her hair and that’s what I love about her!

MAC it up... for a cause! /

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced at a press conference last week that The Office of Global Women’s Issues at the Department of State will be teaming up with MAC Cosmetics to battle gender-based violence and further the fight against HIV & AIDS in South Africa.

“We cannot stop the epidemic of HIV unless we address the epidemic of violence against women." Clinton said

100% of proceeds for every MAC Viva Glam lipstick & lip glass are donated to the MAC AIDS fund. The fund just recently donated $2 million to provide medical, legal and psychological services to South Africans.

It’s not quite summer yet but the last couple of days sure has felt like it. Although temperatures may be scorching hot, women still want to remain looking HOT! This is where the problem arises for most. It’s a known fact that, makeup melts when it is exposed to really hot weather conditions. The result: Raccoon eyes & streaky skin.

When shopping for makeup this season, look for these key terms: water-resistant, waterproof & sweat-proof. Here are a few must-haves that won't budge, come humidity & high waters. And also to keep you looking fresh, gorgeous & melt-proof all summer long.

Editor's Pick: NARS Lipstick /


In search for a new lip, try NARS! Their lipsticks are enriched with vitamin E & leaves a naturally sheer finish. NARS goes on smooth & fades evenly, never leaving behind that messy ring around the mouth. NARS has a wide range of captivating shades & available in three formulas: Satin, Semi-matte & Sheer.

Of course my favorite would be Red Lizard. I love a red lip! It’s the perfect bright-flirty shade of red -- The pigmentation is great, slides on smoothly & lasts a pretty long time.

Next time you’re out at your local cosmetics counter, play around in a few shades. I guarantee you’ll like!
