Lipstick!!
Lipstick and Skin Tone I have so many lipstick tubes at home, in my purse and in my desk drawer at work. Clinique, Estee Lauder and many other brands run a gift with purchase at most department stores. You spend a certain amount of money and you receive a makeup bag filled with different products. Among those is usually a tube of lipstick. The colors are always beautiful. They may not look that great with my skin tone and coloring but the colors are beautiful. I have so many tubes in an array of colors that it looks like an artist palette.

Best Gifts for Skincare Addicts. Top Story - February 2018.
Skincare products are the key essence to achieving healthy and youthful-looking skin. There's just so many products out there that we can play around with and help restore hydration and demolish any imperfections on our skin.

They have about 20 products just for removing dirt and oils. Eighty skincare products for replenishing hydration. Over 100 facial masks for literally any advantage you can think of. And they still believe that they need more. Crazy, I know, but I'm certainly one of them.

10 Ways to Have Great Skin
I love the unstoppable feeling I have when my skin looks great. But over the years, I haven’t had such great luck with pretty skin.

Women of Color in the Beauty Industry
When Fenty Beauty dropped in September of 2017 during New York Fashion Week, I recall the buzz on my social media. From the girls with dark chocolate skin, to girls with porcelain skin like myself, they were itching to get their hands on the “Bad Girl’s” complexion products. Walking into any Sephora that month, you’d see darker-skinned girls picking out their shade, grins lighting up their faces, finally seeing their shade in mainstream makeup lines. But why has it taken so long in the 6,000 years cosmetics have been around for women of color to start seeing their shades on the racks?

Skincare
Skincare is a term that may scare some people as they see it as a long, drawn out process that must be strictly followed day and night, no ifs, ands or buts; however that is the farthest thing from the truth. Now, depending on your skin type, you may need varying products but overall, skincare is something that should be enjoyable as you're essentially preserving your skin and protecting it. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin (perhaps you feel as if it's all three) there is a simple 3-step process that—yes, bear with me—should be followed day and night. Once you start doing these three simple steps you'll instantly be seeing a change in the way your skin looks and feels.
