From beauty to style, stirring up everything that chic brown girls love!
In case you guys didn’t hear the news, Essence has named Constance C. R. White as the new editor-in-chief of the 40-year old magazine. White is an expert fashion editor, commentator, author and journalist. Seems like Essence has made an excellent choice. My loyal readers may remember I spoke with the veteran style maven a little over 3 years ago.

From the runways in France to the racks of Forever 21, this spring it’s all about sheer, flouncy blouses. For a peek-a-boo sexy look, opt for a black bra to wear underneath. If bra-baring isn’t your style, stick to more opaque options to conceal your chest area or simply slip on a cami.
From florals to neck-bows, finding a sheer blouse to fit your fashion taste will be easy with the endless options offered.

On Monday night, I had the pleasure of attending a Sheer Cover beauty event in the Marchesa showroom. Although I was supposed to be learning about the benefits of using the beauty brand, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the gorgeous gowns surrounding the room. Since I was completely unfamiliar with Sheer Cover, I quickly regained focus to get the scoop about the mineral makeup.
Beautiful Marchesa cocktail dresses surrounded the showroom.
A peek at the Sheer Cover cosmetics.
I learned that not only does this makeup provide coverage, but it’s also good for your skin. It contains skin-protecting antioxidants, which is always a plus. It’s also formulated with light-reflecting minerals which blends with your skin’s natural oils making for a seamless finish. I was worried that they wouldn’t have complementary shades for us BGs, but I was wrong. They have mixable shades that will blend well with our varying skintones.
Do you use mineral makeup?
