Supermodel Tyra Banks recently revealed why her Tyra Beauty lip products are the way to go when creating this highly sought after beauty look. If you want matte lip service without suffering the dreaded Sahara pout you may want to give Miss Banks a listening ear.
When one of the biggest supermodels ever to live gives beauty tips, well dolls you listen! Tyra is being very chatty about her awesome cosmetics line and took time out to talk matte lipsticks. Here’s why she took the matte phenomenon into her own hands. She revealed,
“I’ve had some people ask me why I got in the matte lip color game with Tyra Beauty’s Baby Got Matte. Honestly? I was so damn tired of every liquid lipstick I tried drying out my lips! Do I really need to sacrifice my lip health just to rock a dope look?!
We needed some anti-dry innovation in this space, so my Tyra Beauty product development gurus got to work. We created a formula that gives you that fierce, long-wear matte finish; but, also keeps your lips soft and hydrated with hyaluronic acid, mango butter and coconut oil.
The result is our Baby Got Matte set, the future of matte lip color. And now you can purchase the collection’s shades individually.”
So there you have it loves. With Tyra Beauty matte lipsticks you get long wear, vibrant color and soft lips. A combination that is definitely hard to beat!

You’re pacing the room franticly as you wonder how you fit a grab bag, two Twinkles, theater popcorn, cake and Italian dinner into your body. As a result, you stare at your full belly hoping and praying you didn’t just undo all your hard work. First, breathe. Everyone has had a day where they ate a little bit too much of this and that. To get a dream body it takes tons sacrifice and dedication. Which is why a cheat day is not only welcomed by many but an absolute must!
No one wants to go the rest of their lives without a little “fun treat” here and there. However, what many come to find out is that including a cheat day is sometimes an even harder challenge than maintaining a nutritious diet. However, you can survive cheat day and come to use it as a valuable asset in your weight loss journey!
Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures
Did I blow it? That’s a question many ponder after a botched cheat day. However, the answer may be surprising. Most likely you did not. That is because it takes 3,500 calories in order to gain a pound of fat. So then, if you are normally eating between 1200-1800 calories a day it is very unlikely you ate 2300-1700 extra calories.
Also, it is about if cheat day turns into cheat month. If you got right back to your regular routine the day after you put yourself right back on the road to success. However, if things snowball out of control then your day of treats did unfortunately knock you off balance a bit. Therefore, the thing to remember is that one day in the long run will not mess you up, it depends on how you respond after.
Lastly, many think that the best solution to overeating is to starve off the extra calories. This is a bad move. Starvation can cause you to lose muscle and be dehydrated. The better option would simply be to add in a little more exercise. You will burn off the calories and keep fitness at the forefront of your mind. So then, remember one day of treats is not bad and as long as you didn’t gorge you are most likely fine. Moreover, your actions after are truly the key, get right back on track and your goals shall be achieved.

Repunzel let down your hair… or awesomely amazing curls! There’s no guesswork when it comes to haircare. Most people want a head full of voluminous, healthy strands. However, with hair loss being a major concern for people of all ages, the demand for hair products to handle this issue and more has been on the rise. As a result, many hair care shampoos have been introduced into the already competitive market. Fortunately, use of natural shampoos like coconut hair shampoo are not only recommended, but can work for just about any hair type.
Furthermore, Coconut oil based shampoos are rich in moisture and can help regain any lost hydration very quickly. This is the main reason why several shampoo manufacturing companies and hair professionals use coconut oil as their secret hair treatment. Nevertheless, what are some other hair problems that coconut hair shampoo can help resolve and why should this particular product be given a chance?
Coconut Hair Shampoo – Perfect For All Types of Hair
Dandruff, hair loss and dry scalp are just some of the common problems faced by women across the globe. Regular use of coconut hair shampoo can help resolve all these haircare issues. How?
Let’s first dive into how all of these hair situations can occur. Dandruff is a common issue that is caused by a fungus named Malassezia Globosa. Scalp dryness on the other hand may occur due to frequent washing or brushing of the hair.
Moreover, excessive shampooing can also leave your scalp devoid of all essential natural oils. This in turn can lead to dry scalp, hair and even dreaded itching. The natural oil secreted by your head is known as sebum and it contains medium chain fatty acids that work to prevent dryness of the scalp. These oils get depleted when the elements, wrong products or excessive hair washing strips them away.
Wondering how coconut hair shampoo can help you?
Coconut oil also has the same medium chain fatty acids included in it. Hence, use of coconut oil based shampoo can replace valuable lost moisture/oils on your scalp. Use of coconut oil as a conditioner is not a completely new concept. Traditional countries like Sri Lanka and India have been using them for ages. In fact, the Native American Indians used to apply coconut milk or oil as a conditioner and sometimes even rubbed grated coconut on their head before taking a shower believing that the moisturizer in this oil would hydrate their hair and scalp.
The same concept has been made used in the manufacturing of coconut shampoo. Lauric acid one of the key ingredients of coconut oil, when converted to monolaurin and used in coconut hair shampoo provides the same antimicrobial and antifungal properties as the oil itself. These antimicrobial and antifungal properties prevent the growth of dandruff causing fungus. Which means your scalp will be healthy will transform into a great base as well as platform for hair growth.
Coconut Hair Shampoo – More Pluses
Some of the many other benefits of using coconut hair shampoo are mentioned below:
Coconut hair shampoo nourishes your scalp and makes the hair root and hair follicles healthy.
Coconut oil has ingredients which are very good anti-oxidants. The same when included in shampoo can delay early whitening and hair loss.
Coconut hair shampoo has proved to be an effective moisture retainer and thus prevents dryness of scalp.
Vitamin E is essential for healthy looking skin and hair and coconut shampoo is rich in vitamin E. Thus use of this shampoo helps in regaining healthy roots.
If you want to protect your hair from the damage that is caused by detergent and soap based shampoos, use coconut hair shampoos. Regular use of this shampoo can leave your hair smooth and shiny.

Get ready for some love, peace and Soullllllllll! Gucci is taking it all the way back and making history with its newest advert. The Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign features an all black cast of models for its throwback to retro soul. Let melanin reign, because this is definitely a glow up for diversity within the fashion realm.
Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign Stars All Black Models
Bust a move! In the states a popular television show highlighted the soul music movement of the 60s, 70s and beyond. Soul Train brought to the foreground black culture, black fashion, black music and of course dance. However, not to be forgotten is London’s very own soul scene. Gucci taps into the era’s essence of cool and fun while showcasing vintage inspired couture with a modern twist.
In regards to the inspiration behind the campaign Gucci states, “Presenting the Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 ad campaign referencing the spirit of England’s underground Northern Soul movement of the 60’s. Set in the rich and colorful dancehalls of the Mildmay Club in London. Athletic dance moves and exuberant social scenes photographed by Glen Luchford.”
The campaign certainly looks like tons of good times and vibes. The photographs as well as video captured literally transport you to the past and makes you crave to stay there. Plus, as mentioned it demonstrates the swift happening in the fashion as well as modeling industries.
For years many felt minorities could not “sale” an image or product; unlike like the usual beauty standard mostly seen throughout countless ads and editorials. However, it is refreshing to see Gucci as well as other fashion houses go against the grain to help break barriers and put such thinking to rest. Every race rocks and is certainly marketable. As a result, we do see more african, asian, indian and spanish models being booked, but there is always room for improvement.
Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign
So far the fashionable and energetic campaign is being well-received. We love it because we adore this particular era in time and wish we could plop ourselves right in the middle of all the action. We love to dance so this campaign makes us want to twirl, flip, kick and do the splits right along with the selected models. Furthermore, the fashions are vibrant and boisterous pairing nicely with the movements/poses of the models.
Two of the ladies who are apart of the campaign spoke out on how much they enjoyed being apart of the project. They said:
“So many first time experiences… I am beyond grateful to be apart of such a prestigious campaign. The crew, my fellow models and dancers thank you!”
-Zen Wilson (Look for the model jumping into mid-air in green outfit)
“Gucci Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign shot in London! Thank you so much for casting me. I couldn’t ask for a more amazing team and fellow models on this campaign. So excited for all the blessings to come.”
-Akua Shabaka (You’ll know her when you see a white coat and orange tights)
The models are not the only ones talking. The people have already spoken as well. What is the talk around town about the Gucci campaign? Here are few of the thoughts and opinions we spotted via social.
“Culture.”
“Wonderful style!”
“OMG yes!”
“The get down brothers lol.”
“This made me emotional, very well done Gucci as always.”
“Perfect. Soul Train.”
“I want to see more.”
“So cool!!”
“I am so down with this funk vibe.”
“Hardddddd.”
“This is why I love and support Gucci.”
Well, it looks like Gucci has another campaign hit on their hands. So then, be sure to check out all the amazing pics throughout this post as well as the video! Do note there is a quick promo as well as longer version. You will find both below. Enjoy!
