Late Night Beauty Call: Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj has made quite a stir with the release of her cover art for her forthcoming album which drops on July 28. Fans and beauty enthusiasts have been noticing Nicki’s style changes over the past few months. Gone are the colorful locks, one of a kid outfits, dramatic eye as well as lip tints. In their place Minaj has been serving up a big dose of natural beauty, which is why we have dialed her up!
Although we enjoyed seeing Nicki’s risk-taking looks we are enjoying her more subdued makeup. She’s a gorgeous woman who truly doesn’t need any extra bells and whistles to look fabulous. We wish we could have this Moment For Life and talk about Nicki all night, but our call has come to an end. We think the beauty lesson for tonight is that less is more.

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell
Well well well, hello there beautiful! You can feel sexy by the clothes you wear, the way you style your hair and by the fragrance you spritz. Victoria’s Secret never disappoints in making a woman feel like a sassy superstar. Their Bombshell perfume contains notes of vanilla orchid, purple passion fruit and Shangri-la peony. This intoxicating blend will have you feeling like a Bombshell in seconds.
Application Tip: Enjoy your favorite scent longer by applying your fragrance after your shower. Skin absorbs more after it is wet.
Late Night Beauty Call: Lauren London
Our phone lines have been ringing busy for our beauty of the night so we decided to give this gorgeous lady a call. Many have loved her since the days of ATL and she still looks as fabulous as ever. You have probably already guessed it, but we have dialed up Lauren London!
It is always tough narrowing down our favorite looks for our spotlighted beauties and tonight proved to be no different. However, we love Lauren’s bold lip colors and nude face makeup looks which celebrity makeup artist AJ Crimson is making possible with his new line of cosmetics. Talented, beautiful and very stylish London makes a perfect beauty call.

Beauty Myth: Sleeping on Your Side Causes Wrinkles
Beauty Quickie: This myth is actually true…burying your face in your pillow may not be the best idea. Sleeping on your side for extended amounts of time can cause wrinkles to form around your peepers prematurely. So if you are trying to get your hands on the fountain of youth you can start by sleeping on your back. It may feel funny at first, but trust your face will literally thank you later.
25 Minutes a Day, Keeps Bad Skin at Bay
Fitness Quickie: The results are in, getting just 25 minutes of exercise a day can help make your heart stronger, increase your energy and help you sleep more soundly. Besides being able to get great beauty sleep exercise increases your blood circulation so that your skin is fed oxygen giving you a healthy glow and complexion. Take the challenge, workout out for 25 minutes daily and see the benefits!
Clean as a Whistle
Beauty Quickie: Do not over clean or wash your face. If you completely strip your skin of all nutrients you run the risk of developing dryness and irritation. Maintaining your skin’s natural oils are actually beneficial for having great skin. It is your skin’s natural oils that can help combat acne as well as premature aging. When purchasing a facial cleanser always shop for one that is PH based.
Firm Up At Night
Beauty Quickie: When is the best time to apply firming creams to your skin? Beauty experts from around the world agree that the best time to firm up with your firming moisturizer is at night before bedtime. During the sleep your skin works overtime to repair itself from the day’s stresses so this time period provides the perfect background for rejuvenation.
Nevertheless, what ingredients should you look for in a good firming moisturizer? Aim for creams that contain ginseng, seaweed and caffeine extract to help keep your skin toned and youthful looking.
Quick Tip: Forgot to moisturize with your firming cream last night? You can derive the same benefits with application in the morning after you have showered. Problem solved!
Wake Up Your Skin With Coffee
Beauty Quickie: You may need a cup of joe in the mornings to feel somewhat human, but did you know those little brown beans are great for your skin too? By mixing coffee, vanilla extract and sugar (really sounds like you making a cup of coffee huh? LOL) you will have created an excellent exfoliant for your skin. Due to the coffee’s antioxidants and the sugar you will be able to smooth any rough areas to reveal softer skin. Plus, the vanilla extract will provide a tantalizing fragrance that is sure to relax you during the process. So then, go ahead and indulge in a little coffee, it is good for you!
