Beauty Glam Now: Tracee Ellis Ross Pink Lips

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 16, 2015Leave a Comment

Diana Ross is a tough act to follow but her stylish daughter Tracee Ellis Ross continues to fill those shoes seamlessly. She has a hit television show on air (Black*ish) and took time out of her busy schedule to join Nene Leakes of RHOA on Watch What’s Happening Live with Andy Cohen. Ross looked flawless last night in a sparkling jumpsuit (we wanted it bad!) and her signature curly hair.

What we also took note of her was her stunning pink lip color. With spring right around the corner you will want to get your beauty hands on a lovely pink shade such as the one Tracee wore. Pinks as well as other light and airy colors coincide with spring fashions effortlessly. Just be sure to do as Tracee and keep the rest of your makeup streamlined so that your lips are the shining star.

Make Thin Hair Look Voluminous

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 13, 2015Leave a Comment

Of course there are products out on the market that could help with this matter, but the right haircut can do the trick as well. Now do not fear we are not talking about anything drastic especially if your goal is to retain length. Layering your hair will not only give it more movement but it will give it the illusion of having more volume. Simply have your hairdresser add a few subtle layers and you will have a fuller look without sacrificing any length.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 13, 2015Leave a Comment

Have you seen Victoria’s Secret’s new swim catalog yet? You may of noticed something a little different. Nine gorgeous supermodels share the cover that is the catalog’s first fold out. Lais Ribiero and Sharam Diniz grace the momentous cover along with: Josephine Skriver, Monika Jac Jagaciak, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Andreea Diaconu, Ophelie Guillermand, and Elsa Hosk.

Sports Illustrated always makes a big splash with their yearly Swim cover showcasing a bombshell in a tinsy bikini. Will Victoria’s Secret’s swim cover become just as popular? Only time shall tell, but we have to admit from a business standpoint there is no going wrong. Vickie’s move to put more emphasis on swimwear is an excellent due to recent reports that the swimwear industry shall reach $17.6 billion dollars in revenue this year.

Back to the cover, it is always nice to see stunning black models being representatives of beauty for our community as well as the globe. Cheers to Lais Ribiero as well as Sharam Diniz for getting another cover and we can’t wait to see more from these lovelies this year.

How to Comb Wet Natural Hair

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Combing your hair correctly can save you a lot of pain and from breaking or snapping strands of your hair unnecessarily. First things first, you are the realest (sorry couldn’t help it LOL); secondly, keep in mind that combing wet strands has to be done systematically. Meaning you will need to comb hair in sections and in a manner that will lean more towards being gentle. As you work through sections start at the ends and work your way through to the roots.

What type of comb you use is also very important in the untangling process. Make sure that you use a comb that has wide teeth that are softly rounded. Such a comb will allow hair to pass through easier preventing more knots from being formed. Help your comb by also using your fingers to untangle tougher strands of hair that have become entwined. Lastly, using a detangler product or applying a leave-in conditioner will also help the comb slide with greater ease through your tresses.

How Much Hair Should You Lose Daily?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 12, 2015Leave a Comment

Of course none of wish to lose our hair especially if the goal is to have fuller or longer hair. Hair growth depends on a number of factors, but constantly losing part of your locks could make it harder to see if any changes are occurring. Therefore, the question arises of how much hair loss on a daily basis is considered normal?

All of us on average have approximately 100,000 strands resting on our heads. Of these strands it is normal to lose between 40 to 100 hairs. This is true even if you have been taking excellent care of your tresses and are having a good hair day. If you find that you are losing or shedding more hair try changing up your deep conditioning routine and look into your diet. Moreover, hairstyling may also be a culprit of your hair loss. Tight braids, ponytails or chignons aka buns and any styles that maintain a constant pull on your hair could result in losing strands.

90’s Babies! Adidas Superstar Trainers S/S 2015

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 11, 2015Leave a Comment

Okay so we are going to bust out with our knee high socks, plaid, chokers and scrunchie hair ties because Adidas is taking us back! Adidas’ spring 2015 ad campaign for their Superstar Trainers modernize the 90’s superstar girl group The Spice Girls. Back then girl power filled the air and it was all about being cute and cool with your friends because boys just…ya know, sucked (LOL).

Casting was done by Anti-Agency and the ad was shot by photographer Olivia Richardson. Everything about this campaign is just fresh to death making us want to “really really really wanna zigazag ha.” Ohhh, what you know about that? Other than proving that we still remember the lyrics to If You Wannabe My Lover we honestly have to say that Adidas has infused fun, excitement and good times back into shoe fashion.

Hair Notes: We are loving the thick braids, a departure from the super long as well as thin french braids that we have seen as of late and those baby hairs are beyond on fleek!
