I’ve been using this BB cream for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it! It comes in one universal shade and does a great job of blending into my skin. It offers the benefits of a full coverage foundation, but is light like a moisturizer. And if I’m going to spend the day outside, I have the protection of SPF 45.

This balm also has great skin care benefits. It contains a bio-peptide complex infused with white gold to promote collagen and anti-aging. Using Dr. Jart+ is like getting a moisturizer, sunscreen, and serum in one! Not to mention it can easily replace your foundation this summer. If you want to create an even more flawless look or for evening, you can use Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm as a base and layer your foundation on top.

Purchase Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm with SPF 45 ($39) or the Dr. Jart+ The Original BB Cream Set ($34) at Sephora.

Do you lighten up your makeup routine in warmer weather? What are your summer favorites?

‘Fast & Furious 6‘ star Michelle Rodriguez attended the movie’s premiere in South Korea yesterday dressed in the same gown, except hers was a white version with black trim. It’s rare that we see her in a dress, since she seems to prefer tomboy style. The actress got all glammed up for the red carpet though, wearing her hair out in loose waves and accessorizing her gown with several bracelets and metallic pointed toe pumps.

Both ladies looked stunning but who rocked it hotter: Michelle Rodriguez or Michelle Williams in a Hervé LégerMax Azria gown ?

Last night, Jada Pinkett Smith and daughter Willow attended the 15th Annual “From Slavery To Freedom Event” at the Hotel Sofitel. Jada looked lovely in a blush-colored Alexander McQueen suit, while Willow wore the Chanel jumpsuit paired with a black fedora, cropped leather jacket and Christian Louboutin heels.

Back in March, Miley Cyrus also wore the Chanel jumpsuit while with Ryan Seacrest at the Ryan Seacrest Foundation’s West Coast debut of a new multi-media broadcast center, Seacrest Studios. She rocked it with a gold choker and a bright red lip.

In February, model/actress Rosie Huntington Whiteley wore the same jumpsuit to the Chanel pre-Oscar dinner. She styled her look with a long, triple strand pearl Chanel necklace, a black clutch and pink lipstick.

Who rocked it hotter – or hottest: Miley, Willow or Rosie?

Solange Knowles attended the Museum of Modern Art‘s screening of The Great Gatsby wearing her signature Afro and a Jill Stuart stripe dress, from the Fall 2013 collection. The dress features a keyhole neckline, which Solange chose to wear open, and a frilly peplum waist at the flared skirt. She paired the frock with $695 orange Burberry Prorsum Silk-satin wedge pumps – and they added the perfect pop of color! Solange is known for rockin’ mixed prints so this striped dress is on the safer side of what we’ve seen her in, but still, we think she looks stunning in it!

My straight hair after the Magic Sleek treatment

I was excitedly making my way through the International Beauty Show at the Javits Center in New York when I stopped by the Magic Sleek booth to learn about their hair straightening system. I’ve never had my hair straightened before and was really impressed with the idea of straight, shiny hair without using harsh chemicals. Wasn’t I lucky when the owners of the company offered to give me a Magic Sleek treatment right there at the booth?!

Magic Sleek uses a three-step, formaldehyde-free process incorporating natural ingredients from the Amazon rain forest. The result is hair that is sleek and straight for up to 6 months. As a woman with a lifetime of curly and frizzy hair, this sounded like a miracle!

I was very excited to try it but unsure about losing all my curls, entirely. We decided to go for ‘straight with a little wave’. The first step was to wash my hair three times with the Step 1 solution. This removed any oils and residue in my hair and got it ready for the treatment. After washing, my hair was dried completely. Then, the Step 2 solution was applied to my head for 35 minutes (if I wanted my hair to be totally straight, it would have stayed on for 45 minutes). After that, the Step 3 solution was put onto my hair for 7 minutes. Then, my hair was rinsed with water, blown dry and ironed straight. This ‘locks in’ the straightening. The entire process took about 2 hours and my hair was silky, shiny, straight, and GORGEOUS! I felt like a rockstar leaving the Beauty Show that night.

The great thing about Magic Sleek is that you can wash your hair as soon as the process is complete. You don’t need to use any additional styling products and your hair stays silky and beautiful. It had no bad odors and no chemicals, and actually improved the condition of my hair, thanks to the treatment. If you are a curly haired woman and have longed for straight, shiny, healthy hair, you need to check out Magic Sleek. I will definitely be getting it done again! I have received so many compliments on my hair, and it is virtually maintenance free! I have been using the after-care shampoo, conditioner, and serum and it is all I need to maintain my new straight hair.

My hair one week after Magic Sleek.

If you are in the NY/NJ metro area, visit Olga at Something New Salon in Manalapan, New Jersey. She designed this product and did the process on my hair at the show. You can also learn more about Magic Sleek, including locating a salon near you, on their website MagicSleek.com.

For the 2013 Met Costume Institute Gala, the theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture” and rapper Eve was one of the few celebrities who rocked it right! She wore a limited-edition Dominique Auxilly ‘Notorious’ gown featuring stretch sheer lace and draped leather straps, with short-sleeves, a mini turtleneck and a mermaid cut skirt. She rocked it sans a bra and accessorized with an amazing jeweled cuff by Gasoline Glamour, with her ombré hair in pinned up waves.

It’s not the first  time we’ve seen this haute dress on a celebrity. The ‘Notorious K.I.M.‘ – or rapper, Lil’ Kim – also wore the dress when she rocked the runway during New York Fashion Week this past February at “The Reality of Fashion, The Reality of AIDS” show at the Altman Building. She rocked it wiht a black bra underneath, a wavy side chignon and a bold red lip.

Both ladies looked fab in the dress – but we’re biased – we’re fans of them both! So which rapstress do you think rocked it hotter? Lil’ Kim or Eve?
