Late Night Beauty Call: Erykah Badu
Fashion designers and beauty enthusiasts concur that Erykah Badu is a bonafide icon. From her sultry and anthem lyrical masterpieces to her striking natural beauty, Erykah is truly in a class all by herself. Due to her uniqueness we couldn’t wait to make Miss Badu our beauty of the night.
As usual we had difficulties settling on one look so we chose to narrow it down to two. The first look is a classic red lip (major trend for this season). Erykah just looks too cool for school and demontrates that when applied correctly a strong makeup look does not have to overpower your fashions. Badu’s accessories are already intensely bold yet her makeup simply complements her overall look without exerting dominance.
For the second favorite beauty look we just had to showcase Badu looking au natural. Bare face is the new glamour makeup look. Your beautiful just the way you are so take a page from Erykah’s book and flaunt it!

Summer Beauty 2014, Lilac Lips
This year’s Pantone color after 6 months of use is still looking as ravishing as ever. Lighter purple shades are not just for fashions and eyeshadow makeup. Lilac lips are a major trend for this summer season.
From models during fashion week to actress Tika Sumpter and songstress Rihanna everyone is cashing in on this trend. This light and airy look is fresh, girly and radiant. It’s just enough of daring color so that you can dazzle onlookers. What we love most is that it looks amazing on a wide range of skin tones! So then, have some fun this season and update your pucker with lilac lip color.
Fight Off Gray Hairs With Vitamin B5
Beauty Quickie: Going gray a little early? Indulging in the family of B vitamins could help to stave off those little silver pests a bit longer. How so? Vitamin B5 works to put gray locks in their place by contributing to melanin which is responsible for the tint or shade of your tresses. Therefore, consume some veggies as well as egg yolks and you can keep grays at bay.
Bonus! Did you know that Vitamin B5 is also a Pantothenic Acid that can help create a strong barrier to prevent hair loss?
Late Night Beauty Call: Ariane Andrew
Our line is ringing off the hook tonight for a hot WWE beauty. Fans know her as Cameron, one half of the dominating wrestling duo, the Funkadactlys. We spied out some of her makeup looks and it was love at first beauty sight.
Our favorite look by Ariane is her strong red lip and POW eyelashes. Whether its a selfie or she’s snapping a shot with a celebrity host (we see you Arsenio!) Andrew simply works it. Which is why tonight Ariane Andrew is our beauty of the night.

Hair Definition: Demi Permanent Hair Color
If you have ever stepped foot in a beauty supply store to buy products to color your tresses at home you may have been surprised by how many different hair coloring terms you can find on the back of a bottle or box. Ladies, class is back in session and today we shall define demi-permanent hair color. Demi-permanent hair color is a coloring treatment that uses no ammonia and activates tints by using a low volume developer. This process is considered “permanent” so you will not be able to simply rinse or shampoo it out with a couple washes. Therefore, if you’re not so sure if you’re wanting a big change or commitment it is probably best to steer clear of a demi-permanent shade.
AJ Crimson Cosmetics Mixer
Celebrity makeup artist, AJ Crimson, is the innovator and creator behind a new line of cosmetics that is set to become the makeup of makeup artists the world over. We recently had the privilege of attending a mixer hosted by AJ Crimson and the good people over at Beauty Frends in regards to the new brand. We were instantly blown away during Crimson’s makeup demonstration. Here’s why:
*BB Cream and Foundation shades literally cover ALL skin tones. Many lines make this claim, but AJ’s makeup is bar none in this area. Whether your skin tone is closer to Tyra Banks or Alek Wek you will find the tint that matches you perfectly.
*You don’t need a whole bunch of products to highlight, contour or add color to your eyes and cheeks. You can just use AJ’s foundations to achieve a “beat” face.
*Used to having to set your makeup before you can walk away from the mirror? This step is no longer necessary, just apply and go.
*The model during the demo had tattoos and Crimson’s foundation made them disappear, like POOF, gone. Even up close you would never think any tattoos had previously been there (see picture below). Just think what that means if you are needing to cover some sort of blemish or acne. It will literally disappear before your eyes.
*You no longer have to look like a cake face to look flawless. AJ’s makeup ensures that you achieve a glowing, natural look.
Alicia and I (Arianne) were able to get matched by the cosmetics genius himself and we have been loving the results! Be sure to check out our future additional posts regarding AJ Crimson’s amazing brand. Happy Monday and enjoy the pics and video!
