Brittanie Evans-Our Black Hair Color Crush

Arianne SuggsUpdated on February 18, 2016February 18, 2016Leave a Comment

We have loved Brittanie Evans whether she is drawing a masterpiece or showing how she transforms into Black Barbie. One of her latest fun hair color looks involves two very bold tints, orange and pink. Normally, we would never think that orange and pink hair could look fabulous together. However, Brittanie Evans has made us believers and she even revealed how she achieved this bold hairstyle! Brittanie explained,

“I’m wearing 4 bundles of The Vanity Box brazilian wavy extensions cut into a bob. This hairstyle only took a few hours to achieve. I used two boxes of SPLAT platinum blonde to lift the color (The Vanity Box hair colors very well). Then [I] went over it with a pink and orange semi-permanent hair dye from ADORE. The hair was curled with my PYT Hair Bombshell curling wand. Voila!”

What a total doll! Plus, she definitely knows how to dye some hair. Therefore, if you are looking for some inspiration to add some splash to your strands Brittanie Evans multi-colored bob is a good choice.

Beauty Notes: Besides amazing hair Brittanie Evans is also known for her beautiful makeup looks. Here is what she used to create this one:

Skin– Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation, Anastasia of Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in Medium and Anastasia of Beverly Hills Powder Contour Kit in Medium to Tan.
Eyes– House of Lashes Femme Fatale and Noir Fairy Lashes stacked together.
Lips– Kylie Jenner Posie Matte Lipstick.
Glow– Gerard Cosmetics Marilyn Highlighter.
Brows– Anastasia of Beverly Hills Brow Definer in Chocolate.

If you ever need evidence or proof that “black does not crack;” last week you got it. An Indianapolis teen posted a photo on Twitter that broke the Internet. Thousands weighed in on a family picture posted by Kaylan Mahomes. The photo was taken in a car with a caption asking all to figure out who was Kaylan Mahomes, her mother and her twin. However, there was one small problem. All three ladies looked like they could be sisters!

It wasn’t just the fact that all three women were similar in appearance, they also looked to be the same age. The photo went on to be tweeted over 20,000 times. Such Internet and social media hysteria hadn’t been seen since “The Dress” of 2015. The dress photo that emerged a year ago had numerous people seeing a garment in different colors.

Nevertheless, Kaylan Mahomes’ photo had people searching and focusing on the tiniest of clues in order to figure out the answer. The ladies kept the fun going by also posting an additional video. Tweeters begged and pleaded for an answer and they finally got it. SPOILER: DO NOT KEEP READING IF DO NOT WANT THE ANSWER.

After some time Kaylan Mahomes finally came clean and revealed the answer. Kaylan revealed she was on the far right, her mother was on the left, leaving her twin sister to be the beauty in the middle. It was also revealed that Kaylan as well as her twin are 16 and their mother is 35. This squashed the rumor that Mahome’s mother was 13 when she had her gorgeous girls. Moreover, other than being a fun picture game this showed that yes black does not crack!

Beauty Quickie: Can Acne Be Scrubbed Away?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 13, 2016Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Come on, go ahead and admit it, you have tried this method before at least once in order to remove acne from your midst. To be honest, we don’t judge or blame you because let’s face it a giant pimple wouldn’t exactly be described as “cute.” Nevertheless, what really happens when we try to buff our acne into oblivion?

To make a long story short, taking a washcloth or harsh substance to the face while scrubbing vigorously will only achieve in removing the top layer of skin. What’s worse is that this action actually results in more acne being produced! Yikes… definitely not what you are after if your aim is to control your skin’s oil production.

Nevertheless, why exactly would serious scrubbing backfire in this instance? This is because getting rough and going all Hulk on your delicate face causes irritation. Therefore, mistreating your skin will have the adverse effect that you are after. So then, leave the buffing for your nails and always treat your skin gently and with much care.

Michelle Obama in Narciso Rodriguez For State of the Union

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 29, 2016January 12, 2016Leave a Comment

If you ever need to know how to drop the mic when it comes to style all you have to do is channel your inner Flotus! Michelle Obama attended her husband’s final State of the Union Address in an elegant yet boisterous tinted gown by Narciso Rodriguez.

As soon as Michelle Obama made her debut the fashion conscious took to social media discussing the tint of Obama’s ensemble. Some thought apricot but the Sleeveless Banded-Bodice Midi Dress was actually in Marigold. Good guesses though everyone!

Besides looking amazing on televisions across the country, Michelle Obama also put to rest a long held notion that she is not “known for her fashion influence.” Yeah… just let that thought sink in a little.

Nevertheless, the naysayers, haters and cynics were all silenced when news promptly spread that Michelle’s choice of dress had sold completely out! If you had wanted to get your hands on one sorry to tell ya, but some pretty lucky ladies beat us to the checkout cart.

From the runway to the State of the Union, the sold out Narciso Rodriguez dress.

Beauty Notes: Strong brows, eyeliner and neutral lip color made for a subtle yet stunning makeup look.

Beauty Quickie: Cleanser is not a one soap fits all type of deal. To maintain gorgeous, radiant skin it is important not to use product that is going to affect your skin’s natural moisture negatively. For instance, if you are not sure if your favorite cleanser is the cause your skin feeling like as dry as sand dunes ask yourself, “After I rinse away my face wash does my skin have a squeaky clean feeling?” If so, your face wash may be excessively drying out your skin which is a look that does not look good on any gal.

Dry Skin: Moisturizing Cream Cleanser

Oily Skin: Scrubbing Bead Washes or Foam Cleansers

Combination Skin: Gentle Formula Cleansers With Slight Lather
