Big Beauty Tuesday: Fake It ’Til You Bake It With Prime Beauty’s ‘Brownzers’
I’m sick of waiting for warm weather to arrive. I don’t know what the temps are in your part of the U.S. (or abroad), but a current look at Chicago’s local forecast is a smooth 51 degrees—that’s right, an actual degree cooler than when I checked in with you guys last week! Nevertheless, we are…

Fenty, But Make It Fashion: First Looks at Rihanna’s Luxury Line Are Here!
Whew, life Rihanna comes at you fast. It seems only a couple of months ago, we were speculating on whether or not Rihanna’s purported deal with luxury conglomerate LVMH was more than a rumor—oh, wait, we were.
