MAC released a new line recently and this line is all about BLACK! Black seems to be the new pink. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s hot! Black gives you that punk-rock look and i think it looks great. As a make-up artist, black tends to get a lil messy, but it’s fun! This new matte lipstick (pictured above) works like magic! It doesn’t get cakey at all and it also last a really long time. It comes in black & a really dark violet. If you apply the MAC Glimmerglass over it gives it that shiny long lasting look. For better results apply a lip conditioner and apply with the 318 brush from MAC. Along with the matte lipstick, this line has a pen-like liquid liner, creme color base (which is awesome!), and more!

” Barbie isn’t just another pretty face– she actually has a lot of pretty faces– seven different skin tones to be exact. And, with a team of talented hair stylists and makeup artists, the beauty of Barbie is constantly refined so she’s always picture perfect.
Barbie’s hair comes in seven different shades of blonde, woven together in various combinations to achieve highlights or lowlights. Her legendary locks are rooted with a special sewing machine called a “Dolly” and then professionally trimmed and styled, strand by strand, to create today’s chic-est styles.
After her hair is rooted, brushed and styled, Barbie is placed in a customized heating machine to set her hairstyle– much like how a dome hair dryer is used in hair salons.
What’s in her beauty bag?
- Barbie’s hair is styled with hair gel exclusively formulated for her.
- Barbie’s best hair tool is a paintbrush and water, perfect for flyaway hairs for close-up headshots.
- Bad hair day? Even Barbie gets tangled up. A light conditioner and water does the trick to manage her mane.
A true fashionista never leaves her house without makeup and the same goes for the most well-known fashionista of them all. When creating a new Barbie face (a prototype to be put into production), up to 15 fine artists work on Barbie doll’s face using water-based acrylics and tiny sable brushes to paint one of the most widely- recognized faces in the world.
It’s all about blending. Every color used on Barbie doll’s face is applied in thin “washes” so no brush mark is obvious. The process takes up to 3 hours. Although Barbie is known for her vibrant and colorful makeup, brown is still her favorite eye shadow and worn the most frequently. In fact, Barbie has more than 300 different shades of brown in her beauty kit. “

This gorgeous doll has been around for 50 years now! DAMN! So long. I, myself is a Barbie collector, my barbies are still in boxes, brand new… who knows, they could be worth millions! But as for now, Barbie is still classy. I got this from Barbie’s blog.
1. I’ve been in the fashion biz for 50 years now.
2. But I still don’t look a day over 18.
3. I’ve had super smooth skin my whole life (I know, I’m lucky).
4. I’ve had over 100 jobs and careers, literally.
5. My closet is crazy. I own over 50,000 outfits.
6. I do a lot of modeling, but have never been tall enough to walk a runway.
7. I went to school in New York, but now I live in LA.
8. My feet were simply made for heels.
9. My main squeeze and I have been on-again-off-again for the past 48 years. Now, we’re on again.
10. I used to jazzercise in a unitard. Seriously.
11. I’ve been to the moon and back.
12. My philosophy? A great handbag can save any outfit.
13. I’m an animal lover at heart, and I own over 50 pets.
14. I have a serious thing for pink.
15. I never go out without my makeup on.
16. I love, love, love driving fast cars.
17. I’m a big sports fan and have been in the Olympics for gymnastics, figure skating and downhill skiing.
18. The beach is one of my favorite places: Malibu is just dreamy.
19. I still can’t believe I had a whole runway show at NY Fashion Week.
20. I’ve actually been in the military. The pentagon even gave me a seal of approval on my outfit!
21. I change my hairstyle almost as often as my clothes.
22. Over 70 designers have made custom outfits for me.
23. I once played in an 80s rock band. We were kind of a big deal.
24. I have four sisters: Skipper, Stacie, Kelly and Krissy.
25. I might be a household name, but really, I’m a doll just like you!

Legendary R&B singer, Etta James says she hates Beyonce.
“I can’t stand Beyoncé,” she told a Seattle crowd.
“You know your president, the one with the big ears? He ain’t my president—had that woman singing for him at his inauguration. She’s going to get her ass whooped…she had no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ president day, gonna be singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”
Well if you ask me, I think Beyonce beautifully sung that song.
