New Season, New Beauty Routine
Beauty Quickie: It is very wise to change up the beauty products you use as the seasons change. This is because your skin requires and has different needs during various parts of the year. Winter tends to be drier so your products should have a more moisturizing effect. Moreover, during summer which is approaching rapidly, use products containing lots of SPF to protect skin. Trust us, it is a complete myth that black skin does not need to worry about sun exposure.
Beware of the Beauty Label!
Beauty Quickie: Sorry to burst any beauty bubbles but those labels on those products you love may not do as advertised. It is a sad reality, but there are some beauty labels that display false information. Protect yourself by relying on the old adage, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” Lookout for products that promise all-day protection or results instantaneously.
The Prada Spring Summer 2015 Disheveled Brow
In an instagram world where brows must be the epitome of perfection, Prada chose to go a little different route. Prada’s beauty look for spring/summer 2015 incorporated the disheveled brow. This unkempt look had emphasis more on just the outline of the brow instead of the full on cha-bang. The disheveled brow is like the beauty nod to the messy, bed-head look proving that you don’t always have to be absolutely perfect to be considered beautiful.

Giambattista Valli’s Dress Your Lips Collaboration With MAC Cosmetics

“I’m very well known for dresses, no? And I thought it was very nice, the idea of dressing your lips… For a creative person, collaborating can be frustrating because you feel that you’re limited or stuck within someone else’s ideas, but with MAC it was 100 percent freedom and 100 percent support just to make my idea become a reality, to pull out my flowers and my sense and my emotion and put it into the color.”
Well, we are totally stoked about this collection and can’t wait to try out the various tints and shades. Colors in the M.A.C. Giambattista collection range from very light pinks to deep purples and plums. Therefore, what type of lady would this collection work for the most?
Giambattista Valli dished,
“The best thing about makeup is that a lipstick can really change your look. If you never wear color on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes ‘wow! I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn’t afraid to wear color and isn’t afraid to kiss!”
