Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut

Hair Crush: Keke Palmer Short Cut

Okay it’s official Keke Palmer is Angela Bassett reincarnated. I may have been too little to see Waiting to Exhale when it came out but I know a Bassett cut when I see one! Nevertheless, this isn’t a discussion of who did it first because Palmer is simply slaying my life right now. The Keke Palmer short cut is definitely one of my 2016 hair crushes!

No this isn’t the first time Keke has chopped off all her locks. However, each time I absolutely love it. There’s some women who make short hair iconic. Like Halle Berry, Toni Braxton, Zendaya, Rihanna, Amber Rose, Dorothy Dandridge and Diana Ross. Palmer is right in the mix for me.

Not everyone can pull off short hair yet Keke makes it look like a sizzling trend every single time. The Keke Palmer short cut is a pixie dream. Short but with plenty of texture. The hairstyle says I’m all business with sassy allure.

Plus, I just love the attitude this style gives her! You can tell in her head she’s thinking, “I didn’t come to play with y’all!” She always seems more feisty (in a good way) when she rocks with the short hair.

The Keke Palmer Short Cut Reaction

I’m not the only one who is feeling Miss Palmers tresses. Fans have been weighing in on her look too. Here’s a few of their lovely thoughts.

“Love the short hair!”

“Damn she gorgeous.”

“Serving Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale!”

“Killin it.”

“Look like a young Angela Bassett.”

“Yasss.”

“Beautiful.”

“Yas girl.”

“She do look like Angela Bassett.”

Guess its unanimous. Palmer is Angela’s honorary daughter (LOL). They both share the same awesome acting chops and apparently great hair.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line

Throughout the years Angela Bassett has continued to look flawless. Her gorgeous hair, sexy physique and of course beautiful, luminous skin always leaves us in awe. If you have ever wanted the infamous Angela Bassett glow you are about to get your wish! The actress is all set to release one of the biggest beauty collections of 2016. The Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line

For months little hints in regards to the Dr. Strum x Angela Bassett skincare collaboration has been dropping. The Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line is the first of its kind. It is the first luxury skincare regimen specially formulated for darker skin tones.

It all began when Angela Bassett started experiencing irritated skin and breakouts due to the makeup she was using. To fix these problems she confided in German skincare extraordinaire Dr. Strum. In order to clear up her skin woes she decided to give Dr. Strum’s original skincare line a try. The products worked amazingly well and her skin immediately improved. This soon implanted the idea into Angela’s mind to create her own skincare line.

She felt that there may be other women suffering just like her. Women who desperately needed skin salvation and products suited just for them. A skincare line for darker tones.

Skincare For Darker Tones At Last

For years, the beauty industry has adapted product after skincare product for women. Just with one small issue. Most products released do not cater or work well for women of color. This is the beauty industry reality. Lots of products, but very few for black women. Angela Bassett and Dr. Strum took this issue to heart. Dr Sturm relates,

“In 2014, my friend the talented actress and director Angela Bassett and I began a conversation about beauty, anti-aging, and skincare. We realized we shared the same ethos about ingredients and approach. That conversation led to a shocking realization that amazed us both.

Although skin of color is uniquely sensitive and prone to inflammation and pigmentation disorders, and although skin of color consumers represent a huge market worldwide, no company had ever created a luxury skin care regimen tailored to address the specific needs of skin of color.

So Angela and I set out to create the first.”

What to Expect

The face is the first thing that most people notice. For instance, there is even a saying that the “eyes are the window to the soul.” No girl or woman in the history of the world has ever enjoyed dealing with acne and other skin problems. Therefore, a simple solution is all any woman wants in the end.

The solution and key to great skin is simple: a proper skincare regimen. The face needs to be properly cleansed, moisturized and nourished to be at its best. Dr. Strum promises her line with Angela will be all of those things. She says,

“My existing skincare line was built around anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, cellular nourishment and rejuvenation, so we began reformulating this excellent base. Then we added a powerful set of anti-inflammatory natural compounds, delivery agents and anti-oxidants as well as compounds that would even skin tone and deal with acne and the hyperpigmentation that it created. The result was what Angela and I believe are truly beautiful and effective products for skin of color- two cleansers, one hyaluronic serum and two face creams: one regular and one a richer formula ion for night use or drier skin.

The Natural Approach

Another important aspect that Angela and Dr. Strum gave special attention to were the ingredients themselves. Dr. Strum related how she and Bassett first surveyed the landscape of general skin care options and were quite disappointed. Many ingredients were simply harmful to the skin or of no value at all.

For instance, many products contain ingredients such as: phthalates, mineral oil, parabens and artificial fragrances that can be irritating to the skin. Moreover, others promise to deliver miracle benefits due to minerals extracted from rare plants, diamonds, gold, foreign sea water and other precious metals. Speaking of gold, according to Dr. Strum this element was even named “allergen of the year.”

Animal and non-human stem cells have also been said to improve skin. Yet, many products lack the medical or clinical study to support such claims. Fortunately, Bassett and Dr. Strum chose to ignore mainstream beauty product ingredients and go in a different direction.

The New Era of Darker Tone Skincare

None of the harmful or “useless” ingredients found in skincare products will be apart of the Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line. Bassett and Sturm have decided to take a “less is more” approach to skincare. Cut out all the unnecessary stuff and just use natural ingredients proven to work.

Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line4

One of the ingredients included in the line is Purslane. What does Purslane do exactly? This ingredient is basically like your own “fountain of youth.” It possesses anti-aging properties thanks to a youth enzyme.

In regards to her upcoming line Angela wants customers to, “See what works best and what ingredients are helpful and not invasive or irritating… I like them to be pleased when they look in the mirror, to feel good about themselves and the condition of their complexion.”

Want to get your hands on the Dr. Barbara Sturm Angela Bassett Skincare Line? The five product line is set to be released next month, July 2016. It will be sold exclusively by Harrod’s online and in store.

Last night the Golden Globes was chalk full of wonderful surprises from the red carpet to the star-studded after parties. We have to tip our Louboutins to the fabulous Taraji P. Henson who took home some much earned hardware for her performance as Cookie on Fox network’s hit show Empire. Henson won for Best Actress in a Television Drama yet before her name was even called out she had already won us over in the style department!

Taraji P. Henson along with the rest of Tinseltown’s hottest starlets put it down upon arriving in Beverly Hills for all the festivities. Numerous fashion trends were spotted including bold tints, sequins, cut-outs, capes and metallics. Length also played a key role in the fashion drama as most ladies chose to adorn themselves in floor-length gowns.

Many actresses opted for a clutch in order to tote their valuables and bling was absolutely everywhere. Diamonds and Swarovski found its way on our favorite stars in the form of earrings, rings, bracelets, heels and handbags.

Beauty Question: What Happens When Your Mascara Grows Old?

Beauty Question What Happens When Your Mascara Grows Old

Beauty Answer: It retires and goes to live a quiet life in the Bahamas, the end. If only our sense of humor had some truth to it in this regard but mascara doesn’t have such a fairy tale ending ladies. In fact, out of all the beauty products that you have in your possession, most likely your mascara will have the shortest shelf life. This means if you have had the same tube for awhile it may just be time to lay it to rest.

“Well, my mascara works just fine and I have had it for months!” We are sure there are some that feel that way but ponder on these next few facts. Mascara’s performance can be affected by outside temperatures so it is important to make sure your tube avoids extreme cold and heat. Moreover, over time mascara ingredients start to oxidize and degrade. Degradation means that compounds in the formula will break down and the product’s strength or intensity will fade.

Beauty Question What Happens When Your Mascara Grows Old2

Such degrading can lead to dried up formula and the causing of flakes. A look that you definitely do not want to rock in public. So then, how long should mascara be kept after purchase? Every three to four months your mascara should be tossed in favor of a newer one.

The fashions seen at this year’s Comic Con ranged from over the top to simple and conservative. We took note of a few stylish celebrities rocking the monochromatic look as they worked the red carpet. It can be fun to wear two different tones in the very same outfit. Black and white will forever be a classic tone combination in the realm of couture and two actresses wore it fabulously!

Angela Bassett: She is one of our all-time favorite on screen sirens and she is not aging! Angela wore black pants as well as a black and white print top.
