It’s a hair wars times three! In this round we have a top model, WNBA superstar and one of the biggest singers in music history. Who takes the cake? This choice was hard because the style works great on each of these ladies. It was just too hard to choose, so we are going to leave this one as tie. However, that just means that this is an universal style that can be worn by anyone and during any occasion. So give this look a try and don’t forget to tell us who you think wins!
Hair Quickie: One of the most common black hair mistakes that women make are over-coloring or relaxing. Yes, maintaining your favorite Mary J blonde hair or Rihanna redhead look may look enticing but at what cost to your tresses? Relaxing and coloring your locks can be very damaging and should be done only when needed. How long should you wait in-between before performing these two processes? Hair stylists recommend every six to eight weeks and suggest deep conditioning your tresses often to help stave off any potential damage.
The ladies of Think Like a Man Too are busy with their LA press tour. At the film’s photo call held in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hilton Hotel the ladies flexed some serious fashion muscle. Here’s a quick cheat sheet of what they wore:
Gabrielle Union dazzled in ELIZABETH & JAMES SPRING 2014
La La Anthony wore a DOLCE & GABBANA SPRING 2014 dress
Taraji P. Henson rocked a printed dress by TED BAKER
Meagan Good Wore a mint lace design by DOLCE & GABBANA
Regina Hall turned heads in a black short-sleeve jumpsuit with black strappy leather sandals
Let the battle begin! Okay, so who is wearing the pink hair trend for summer 2014 better? Both ladies are innovative style risk takers who leave a lot of other starlets in their beauty dust.
In this match up we are taking fashion icon, Rihanna, because we think the pixie cut shows off her gorgeous features best. Pixie plus pink hair equals total drama. Nevertheless, this summer hair trend is not for the faint of heart, it is bold and extremely daring. However, be sure to let us know what you think of the match up as well as if you would follow Nicki and RiRi’s lead and wear pink hair.
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?
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.

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.
Can Beyonce’s hair get some poetic justice? Many remember Janet Jackson’s iconic hairstyle from the 90’s. It was not fried, dyed and laid to the side, just long twisted glory. However, it is Queen Bey’s turn to rock this trendy look.
Beyonce and her sister Solange have never been afraid to support team natural. Braids are a great style if you are transitioning from a relaxer to your hair’s natural state, growing your tresses longer or if you are needing a protective style to shield your locks from harmful elements. Beyonce has recently been posting photos on her social media pages of her long braided hairstyle. What do you think you think of Beyonce’s hairdo? Should she continue to bring braids back?
Oh snaps, we take it back maybe little Beyonce had Ms. Jackson beat! Mrs. Carter posted to her Instagram this throwback photo of her getting the braid treatment in 1989.
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!
Beauty Tip: Achieve a set of mesmerizing eyes by simply applying blue mascara. After you apply your normal shade of mascara which for many is a black tint, go over it with a blue mascara. Adding a coat of blue mascara will not change your overall look to blue, however, the blue hues in your lashes will give the illusion of having sparkling white eyes.
