Thank you Brandon Almengo! Brandon is the man aka photographer behind one of Christina’s latest photo shoots. For this particular visual the singer sports a cornrows style and some seriously LAID baby hairs. We are totally hair crushing on this look and Christina is making us want to rock them from A.M. to P.M.! (Old school Milian song reference kiddos).
Christina Milian’s Cornrows Style and Baby Hairs
For several seasons now, the cornrows style as well as baby hairs have become more en vogue. Not to say that these hairstyles have not been “around” or trendy, especially within black culture. It is just that now everyone and their mama as well as all of mainstream pop culture is getting down them too. Literally, you can’t scroll the Gram timeline or Explore page without seeing it. Therefore, if you are looking for a style that keeps giving, you have found it.
Nonetheless, if you want to learn how to execute a look properly it’s best to look toward the source right? Therefore, who was the mastermind behind this glamorous hairstyle for Christina? Naima Lewis (@bellacheveux on instagram) is the stylist that completed the cornrows style on Ms. Milian! Lewis’ artistry just goes to prove that natural hairstyles can bring the drama and je ne sais quoi as much as any other hair look.
Furthermore, we also love this hairstyle because it’s a chic protective style. If you are trying to grow out your hair or maintain length this hair look will help shield your strands from harm. Also, there is so much freedom and room to create one-of-a-kind versions. As a result, you could steal Christina Milian’s cornrows style or you can design one with your own personal flair. It’s all up to you!
Don’t know how to cornrow hair? Girl… that used to be us! However, practice makes perfect and if you get to learning the skill now this hairstyle could be yours very soon! Here is one of our favorite video tutorials. It’s short and to the point. Plus, it really zooms in there so that you can get the technique down pact.

Beauty Tip-Save yourself some muhla and trim your bangs yourself.
After you wash and blow dry your hair, flat iron your hair till smooth. Gather bangs and twist hair several times, but not too tightly otherwise you may trim tresses too short. Next, depending on how long you want your bangs, trim hair either above or below your fingers holding the twist. Remember it is best to start longer, because you can always re-twist and re-cut in order to make bangs shorter.
Beauty Tip-When flat ironing your hair use small sections to straighten tresses. The smaller the section, the more weightless and flatter your hair will be. Also, use a comb to detangle the section of hair …

The Item: Singer and entertainer, Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit. The musical artist was spotted in her floral frock while out enjoying a date with her NFL hubby, Russell Wilson.
You Asked: Okay, I kind of just need a little confirmation. I think I found Ciara’s jumpsuit online but the price is throwing me off. This look is by ZARA right? BTW I am in the US.
Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70
The Verdict: Thanks for the couture question and yes, you are correct! Cici’s cute jumpsuit is by the ZARA fashion label. The brand describes its design as a “long jumpsuit with floral print and contrasting piping detail. [It also] features a lapel collar, V-neckline, long sleeves, front pockets and buttoned cuffs.” For these reasons, the brand named this ensemble, the ZARA Printed Jumpsuit.
Moving on to price we can completely understand why there might be some confusion. ZARA’s website is not always automatically set to the country that you reside in. For instance, the printed jumpsuit you are desiring on our end reads as 79.90CAD. This is Canadian money, so not quite helpful to someone wanting to pay in dollars. However, the equivalent amount in American money would be around $62. Watch for prompts because many times ZARA will have popups asking if you want to change the currency.
Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

The issues women have with their bras are as varied as the different shapes and sizes breasts come in:
An overabundance of bouncing.
Not enough cleavage, for small busts.
A little too much cleavage, for bigger busts.

A collection of bras that have stretched out and no longer fit well.”
The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

The Bra Bridge- Who’s Behind It All

We caught up with the busy entrepreneur behind this ingenius design who filled us in on why she decided the world needed another “bridge.” Founder Judith Samson says,
“I invented the Bra Bridge because I struggled with the way my breasts looked; they stretched passed my rib cage and bounced too much, affecting my self-confidence about the way I looked. The Bra Bridge reduced my side boob, but also the bouncing and sagging, lifting and holding everything in place.
The beauty of the Bra Bridge is that it is so easy to use, essentially giving you a custom fit with every bra you wear. My mission is to help women of all shapes and sizes gain confidence about their shape and the way they look both in personal and professional life, giving them a positive body image that translates into self-confidence and growth.

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.
Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown
Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.
Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.
The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.
Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!

Rihanna has the Internet crashing over news regarding her latest upcoming release. You ready? Better be because they’re here, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! A sexy step away from her sick lineup of lipsticks and diverse foundations. So then, what are these new beauty must-haves for summer 2018?
Literally, just the products that will be in every beauties makeup arsenal. Starting with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava, this gem is a full body luminizer that will give your skin an out of this world gleaming effect. Like forget highlighter, Rihanna’s body illuminators are all that is necessary in order to achieve an intense, all day wear glow up.
Miss Fenty is kicking off her Body Lava collection with not one, but two luxurious tones. Beginning on April 6th you will be able to purchase the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in both: Brown Sugar and Who Needs Clothes.
Brown Sugar is the deeper of the two body illuminating products. It has a more golden, coppery finish unlike Who Needs Clothes with it’s more pink pearl, lighter appearance. Nonetheless, each one packs a powerful, mesmerizing punch.
Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL
However, even though Rihanna is flaunting it, why should one use an illuminator? What is it’s sole purpose anyway? To answer those questions allow us to ask, “Well, have you seen the Gram lately?” Everyone is glowing like they were created from the sun directly.
Nevertheless, not all of us are born with picture perfect skin with gorgeous luminousity. In fact, most of us are not. Thus, why using an illuminator product can come in handy; among other reasons, here are just a few:
Radiance– At times our delicate skin can look a little dull. Adding a smidge of product with a sparkling effect can instantly give skin a boost. Allowing for a more natural, healthy finish.
Go Baby Go– We’re all busy, so being able to brighten and enhance on the fly is anyone’s dream. Body luminizers are easy to use and give off super quick results. Instead of months of treatments you can get a celebrity glow in seconds.
Like a Rose Petal– Another amazing aspect of these glowing products are that they usually contain some sort of skin softening agent. Therefore, not only do you get to enjoy awesome highlighting elements, but softer, smoother feeling skin. WINNING!
Definition– Why do you use highlighter on your face? Besides it looking absolutely fabulous in a selfie, you most likely also use it for its contouring benefits. Highlighter allows users to bring out their best features while slightly altering the ones they are not so fond of. The same can be accomplished with a body luminizer.
You can apply it to only the areas you decide, in order to give definition and more contour to your body. Got a great chest? Show it off by illuminating it. Got sexy shoulders, taut stomach or neckline? Well then, you know what to do! Body illuminators can help you enhance any body part that you love.
Fenty Beauty Body Lava
So now that you know why you should use an illuminator, you may be wondering how exactly it works. Well, its pretty simple. You see these products are formulated with gentle pearlescent molecules that shimmer and shine once applied.
They can reflect light so that whether you are chilling on the beach or serving looks at a party; your skin can look A-list status. While the lightly textured mixture should make quite the impact with one pass. It can also still be layered in order to achieve even more intense yet beautiful results.
So we all have something to definitely be excited about when it comes to the release of Fenty Beauty Body Lava. However, did you know it is actually a member of a much bigger product lineup? Yup, it’s true, the Lava illuminators are apart of the Fenty Beauty Beach Please Collection.
As a result, Rihanna took to social media to talk about her new glow-worthy products. On Instagram she says,
“Summer came early with my Beach Please collection [by] Fenty Beauty. Body Lava Luminizer and Fairy Bomb glittering Pom Pom are coming to fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP on April 6th!”
Fenty Beauty Body Lava -EVERY DETAIL
Besides the nice reveal to fans the world’s favorite Badgal went a step further. Yes, Rih went full YouTube style on us all with tutorials demonstrating exactly how to use the new Beach Please collection. The tutorials were not only enlightening and a great plug for the line itself; but, also gave a cool sneak peek about another tool!
Beach Please will also incorporate a new kubuki brush to help one and all get their glow on. The brush works hand in hand with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Luminizers to blend them in seamlessly into the skin. Not only will this provide a more professional looking finish; but will also help keep fingers clean. Since who really wants to deal with a messy application? UHM, no one (Lol).
Now that we have talked extensively about brushes and illuminating body lava. However, there’s still one more item to discuss and it’s just as fabulous! If you’re not feeling liquid, then maybe glowing up with powder will be more your speed. Enter the Fenty Beauty Fairy Pom Pom!
Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Pom Pom
Remember wanting to steal Tinker Bell’s wand so you can sprinkle pixie dust everywhere? Oh wait, that was just us (haha)? Well, now you can dust yourself with a powder puff loaded with glitter.
The Fairy Pom Pom is reminiscent of old Hollywood. You may be reminded of classic starlets sitting in front of their vanities daintily patting themselves with powder puffs. Nonetheless, this is not your grandma’s powder. Instead of being baby powder fresh you will be able to puff your skin to a more luminous epidermis.
As one can see April 6th is gearing up to be quite a busy shopping day. However, since we are sure that the Beach Please Collection will sell like hot cakes there are a few things you should know. For instance, the collection will available for purchase on the 6th on the Fenty Beauty as well as Sephora website. Also, the Sephora app will have purchasing powers.
Furthermore, items will also be available via Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP just at different times. Availability will begin at 8a.m. on the Harvey Nichols website; and 10 a.m. in store at Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP. That’s it for now, happy shopping everyone!
