Words cannot even express how happy this video makes me. The video had turrets, it seemed like it was all over the place. I had no clue where they were going with it at sometimes. Nevertheless, I loved every freakin’ second of it! Beyonce still can’t act, but she always gets an A for effort. Everyone looked freakin’ amazeballs. Beyonce’s Hair and Makeup were done by Francesca Talot, Kim Kimble and Nicola Formachetti , Gaga’s hair and makeup by Billy B. and Danilo.

Zoe Saldana is popping up all over the place! First of all, she’s too gorgeous for words. The Avatar star is on the March cover of Essence Magazine. I can’t wait to see Zoe’s spread, doesn’t she photograph beautifully?  I’m even more excited about “The Best Foundation For Our Skin Tones”!  These are the articles that make me a happy woman! Read on for more…

Singer and DJ Solange Knowles has been named a new Ambassador for Rimmel London! She’s now part of the fam with models Kate Moss, Coco Rocha, Alejandra Ramos Munoz and Actress Zooey Deschanel. I love seeing mainstream brands include brown girls!  Now I’ll try a few more of their products!

Kim Kardashian has a new Iphone App.  You can ask Kim a question. Every Tuesday and Friday, she’ll answer a question via her app. Some of the answers will also be sent out on twitter.  Check out the App Here.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are in town this week for Bravo.  My best friend Warren B. was hired to do makeup for Nene Leakes and Lisa Wu Hartwell. I assisted him during his job yesterday in NYC. (Can you believe that just 7 months ago, I created a makeup tutorial based on Nene?!)  When we arrived, Nene already did her brows, which were chiseled to perfection!  She used a brow pencil (is it safe to assume it was MAC Spiked?).   I’m sure you all want to know the dish, and let me say this.  What you see on TV is real, Nene and Lisa are NO different than they are on camera.  They are as real as it gets!  Here are the looks that Warren did on the ladies.

And now, the final installment of MAC lipstick finishes!  These are some of my favorite lipsticks.  Each of these categories include colors that are packed with color, with I love.  I’ve included some lipsticks that you can buy at your local counter, some that are limited edition, and some that have discontinued for over 5 years.  The point isn’t to sell you anything (which it never is), but to further explain.

Last night’s Academy Awards were a huge success in my book. Instead of my usual live tweeting during the red carpet event, I stayed with my BFF and her 3 month old daughter. We oooh’ed and ahhh’ed. Loved it! Here are my favorite head-to-toe looks from the red carpet and beyond!

My girl Sarah Jessica Parker was a stunner. The first 3 seconds of looking at her, I thought, “what?” But that’s the magic of SJP. As the fourth second approached, I thought “Oooh, I get it! Yes SJP!” Her sense of style is on a different level. Always chic, always testing the waters. The mega-bun rocked my socks. However the “I love walking down the street on windy days” look was not so hot.

Who else can’t stop talking about Zoe Saldana? She’s already hot to begin with, but the hair, makeup, dress, shoes. Wow. There are a few brief moments where I only love her dress from the belly button, up. And then I see the rest of the dress and think that it can be cool too. But the shoes. Wow. Might have to snatch those up!

Ah, it’s that lovely time of year again. Birds chirping (almost), snow melting (thank God) and beautiful Black women are being honored for their stellar achievements. This year’s honorees for the 3rd Annual Black Women in Hollywood included Cicely Tyson (Legend Award), Gabriel Sidebe (Best Breakthrough Performance), Queen Latifah (Power Award), Zoe Saldana (Star to Watch Award) and Mary J. Blige (Songstress of the Year). I love events like this! We all remember Jada’s emotional moment last year, correct? Let those tears flow, Lena James! Essence.com is giving us exclusive access to the event, so be sure to also follow them on twitter. I’m definitely looking forward to sharing more images from the event, so stay tuned!

Also, make sure to enter to win a Swagbag courtesy of Essence and Lincoln! I surely am!

The three lipstick finishes that we’ll cover today are full of coverage. They are long lasting. They are great! Here, we’ll take a look at some of the choices.  Remember to click on the image to see it up close and personal!

For years, I’ve been trying to get a concrete understanding of the differences between Glaze and Lustre lipsticks. When I go to the counter, these are typically the colors that I really love, but have to avoid.  Because they are so sheer, they don’t last  too long.  In this post, I’ll do a comparison.

First of all, I can’t believe Zahara is even old enough to walk!  I guess when you are seeing celebrity kids every 6 months, they tend to shock you!  I had to show you that miss lady is wearing one of my favorite luxury brands, Alice + Olivia. The Bow Back Double Breasted Coat ($330) can be found here. I don’t even own a $300 coat, but when you’re parents are two of the hottest celebrities, you can have it all!
