It looks like Janet Jackson is still getting No Sleep. Jackson is keeping busy with the release of her Unbreakable Jewelry Collection. The collection will include many luxurious and exquisite designs for those in the market for a high-end piece.

Janet posted a photo to her social media accounts to begin creating buzz in regards to her jewels. In the photo she flashes that signature smile we all adore complimented by one of her jewelry designs.

Emirates Woman held a special gala to showcase Jackson’s jewelry collection. The exclusive event was invite only. So then, while most of the world could not be in attendance to see Janet’s work that doesn’t mean fans haven’t had their share of glimpses of the collection.

At this year’s BET Awards Janet Jackson wore a few Unbreakable Jewelry collection designs: a 25 carat heart-shaped necklace ($2,000,000) and 13 carat Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond ring ($500,000). Jackson was in attendance to receive the Ultimate Icon Award. Moreover, as you can see from the figures above, the price point is geared toward those with deeper pockets.

Braids can look beautiful but to keep them looking pristine there is some maintenance needed. We will get into more of that in our next black hairstyles post. However, one issue some ladies come across when wearing braids is the dreaded itch.

We have all seen it or done it… the palm of the hand slowly creeps it way towards the head and the patting begins. Or if that doesn’t do it then as a last resort scratching becomes the next best option. Nevertheless, are there any black hairstyle tips that can be kept in mind in order to resolve this hair matter?

1. Dryness: Itching can occur when the scalp is very dry. In this case adding moisture could help to relieve any discomfort. Think braid oils as well as sprays and you will be on the right track.

2. Wash Cycle: The dreaded itch could also be a sign or indicator that it is time for cleansing to take place. Many naturalists are finding that using a dry shampoos do wonders to remove any itch.

How to Apply “Coats” of Mascara

How to Apply Coats of Mascara

Beauty Quickie: There is right way and wrong way to layer on mascara. The right way will give you amazing lashes and the wrong way will give you a clumpy finish. When applying mascara layer on 1-3 coats but you should do it all at once before the first coat dries. If you wait till after the first coat dries you risk developing and causing clumps once you swipe on more mascara formula.

What are your tips for amazing lashes? Talk beauty with us on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.

Hair of the Week: Janet Jackson in Dubai

hair of the week janet jackson

Janet Jackson gets our Hair of the Week due to the fierce high ponytail she rocked in luxurious Dubai. Jackson was on hand for a Vogue Fashion event and made onlookers do a double take over her new look. Tons of drama was associated with this hair look, from the length of the locks to the wrapped hair around the band. Foolish is the woman who said that the ponytail is a boring style!

Beauty Obsession: Yes, we loved Janet’s tresses for the Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience, but we could not ignore her perfectly arched eyebrows! It seems the fierceness spilled over into the beauty department as well…

Mascara 101: Mastering Layering

Janet-Jacksonfeat-Eyes-Beauty

Besides an eyelash curler you will need mascara in order to make your eyes really pop. The goal is to layer mascara coat by coat which in turn will make your lashes look full and luscious. However, if applied wrong you may notice more clumping than a beautiful pair of voluminous lashes.

Ciara Eye MakeupWelcome to Mascara class 101, where the most important thing to remember is that a little patience will go a long way. How so? Think about this: If you were constructing a home and were laying down a cement foundation, would you allow the cement to dry first before building upon it? Of course you would, for if the cement was still wet the foundation could become uneven or clumpy if worked on before it was completely dry. This same principle applies when it comes to layering mascara.

It is best to allow enough time to pass between each coat or layer of mascara so that the formula can be set. From there you can build upon each layer until you achieve the desired look or effect and avoid any clumps. Alright, you got it ladies, class is dismissed.
