YouTube star Ingrid Nilsen took to her camera to film one of the most important videos of her life. After going to twitter to say: "New Video up, There's something I want you to know.", it was available to the world. As one of the most popular channels on YouTube, the former MissGlamorazzi (her old channel name) took a break from fashion and beauty to share the most intimate journey of her life with her 4 million subscribers. In a tearful video, she lets her complete guard down and announces, "I'm Gay"! It was one of the most touching videos I have seen in a long time because you could see how genuine she was and the struggle she was facing. The video had 2 million views in a matter of 48 hours and became news worldwide. It was a relief for all of us who have been watching her for years and were happy to see her succeed in her field. It takes a lot of courage to come clean and find out who you really are. Ingrid is really gaining momentum in the beauty industry working with Covergirl, PopSugar, Teen Vogue and more. I can honestly say and after seeing her happiness shine through tears, I wish her nothing but the best. Lots of love and luck to you Ingrid! You are a true inspiration. We love you! I have included the video for you to check out:

Last Friday it had leaked that the transgender Olympic Champion formerly known as Bruce Jenner would be featured on the July 2015 cover of Vanity Fair for the first time as a woman. Today the internet got the first drop when it was launched! With the hot trending hashtag, #CallMeCaitlyn we are introduced to the transgender Olympic champion in a stunning cover, shot by none other than famed photographer, Annie Leibovitz. It's the buzz of the internet right now and truly making waves in the LBGT and entertainment community. Bruce Jenner has been an iconic name in the field of sports and then later as the husband of famous momager, Kris Jenner. Making sure that she chose her name to be spelled with a "C" and not a "K", she is taking a stance to be an individual. This is something that may be an adjustment for some, but is a triumph for many, including it's subject. The pictures are truly groundbreaking as only Annie can create and take us to a whole other world inside Caitlyn. A world where she seems at peace, comfortable and happy in her own skin. Here are a couple of other shots from the shoot as well as a behind the scenes video from the Buzz Bissinger interview with Caitlyn Jenner. The hardest thing in life sometimes can be to be brave and stand up for yourself, congratulations Caitlyn on finding your voice and embracing who you are! As you say in the video, you are now free...... This past week has been full of fabulous looks for actress Melissa McCarthy!

Last week Tuesday she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and truly made waves with a purple floral kimono dress that cinched her waist and accentuated her smaller frame. Her husband, Ben Falcone as well as director Paul Feig and her mother were in attendance. Ellen Degeneres introduced her and participated in the ceremony. McCarthy is known for her fabulous Plus Size style and really knows how to work it. Check her out!

Rimmel London Ambassador Showcases The London Look At The Met Ball 2015 For those of you not familiar with the Met Ball, here is a little synopsis:
The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. The theme this year was: China: Through The Looking Glass So here is the info on Rita's fabulous look from the event: New York, NY, May 4th 2015 – Rita Ora perfectly showcased an Asian influence style at the China themed Met Ball with a flawless makeup look created by all celebrity makeup artist, Kathy Jeung using Rimmel London. Rita wore a stunning Tom Ford red silk cheongsam inspired dress. Kathy wanted to focus on a red lip to match the color of the dress with a hint of red eyeliner and a wash of pink blush. To get this look Kathy applied Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25HR Foundation with Comfort Serum, with a brush then further blended it with a makeup sponge dampened with water. Then Kathy brushed Rimmel London Lasting Finish Blush in Tickle Me Pink on Rita’s cheeks for a pop of color. For Rita’s eyes, Kathy drew a thin line along Rita’s upper lash line with Rimmel London Precision Micro Eyeliner in Black, extending outwards for a wing shape. Over the outer part of the top liner, Kathy used Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner in Red Diva and smudged it slightly. Kathy finished Rita’s eyes with Rimmel London Wonder’lash Mascara with Argan Oil in Waterproof to volumize her lashes and enhance the wing shape. To complete this look, Kathy used Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner in Red Diva to define Rita’s mouth shape then applied Rimmel London Show Off Lip Velvet Matte in Burning Lava. I hope you're loving this look as much as I did and if you recreate it, please let us know and share you look in the comments. I will be featuring another look or two in the coming days. Have fun recreating your favorite celebrity look my beauties! xoxo Well after days on baby watch, it was a span of 12 hours between Labor and preparing to leave St. Mary's hospital in London. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge presented the new princess to the world today. It seems like the birth itself was short and brief for the Duchess. She was glowing and looking lovely only hours after in a gorgeous yellow flowery dress. I was very excited to see the new princess as so many others and when I did, something occurred to me. I will never understand how so many celebrities take months waiting to decide when fans will get the first glimpse of their new babies. And they also go through a bidding war with publications as to who will get to do the feature. But the British Monarchy comes out hours after giving birth and presents the princess who will be fourth in line to the throne to the people of the world. This is something that to me is so humbling because of how special it is to us (the public) as it is to them. In our country, we love so many of our celebrity couples and truly get excited over their love stories. So why couldn't we get as much consideration in sharing those moments? And with that thought, take a look at William and Kate's amazing day: They truly were the sweetest moments of the day and Kate looked so beautiful after just having the baby girl whose name is to be determined. I am looking forward to that announcement as well. In case you missed it, here is a video of when they came out to present her to the crowd. Hollywood should take note! Hey movies lovers.... So if you are like me, Johnny Depp is probably one of your Hollywood crushes. His cool attitude, gorgeous looks and unquestionable talent has made him one of the industries biggest stars. So when one of his new movies is coming out, it's definitely a time to get excited. The trailer for his latest role just launched a few days ago and it looks amazing! I will say however that in this new movie, it may be hard to find that handsome face we all know and love. In the upcoming movie Black Mass, Depp will portray Boston gangster, Whitey Bulger. He was the brother of a state senator and one of the most violent criminals in the history of south Boston. In the film, Depp went into full on character as he always does and transformed into Bulger in every way. He are some pics of him in character: And if you want to get a glimpse on what the movie is about, check out the trailer below! Black Mass opens in theaters September 2015 and also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon, Sienna Miller and Dakota Johnson! Let us know what you think and if you will be checking it out! Hey Beauties! It's been over a week since the MTV Movies Awards and everyone is still buzzing about the hottest looks from the red carpet. With some fabulous fashion and beauty that was truly on trend, one of the hottest awards winners of the night was the talented Shailene Woodley. After sweeping the competition with several popcorn statues for films such as "The Fault In Our Stars" & "Divergent", she was on fire. Her look was also trending on social media. Here is all the details on her gorgeous look: Best Female Performance winner Shailene Woodley rocked the carpet last night at the 2015 MTV Movie Awards with a French inspired, bold yet naturally radiant look, created by Celebrity Makeup Artist Roxy. To achieve this look, Roxy hydrated Shailene's face by applying Laurel Whole Plants Organic Skin Facial Elixir to her face, neck and decolletage. Next, to even out her skin tone and achieve a flawless finish, Roxy applied a sheer foundation with a beauty blender sponge. She then softly played up the definition of Shailene's cheek bones with a warm cream RMS Bronzer. Following this, for extra radiance, Roxy applied RMS illuminizer down the bridge of Shailene's nose, above and around the corners of her brows, in a C shaped manner. For her eyes, Roxy applied a chocolate brown liner along the top and bottom lash lines, diffusing it softly with a petite eye brush. To emphasize the eyes a bit more, she layered a soft black liner on her top lid with a subtle smudge. Last but not least, Roxy focused on Shailene's lips, applying a mixture of Burt's Bees Lip Crayons in Napa Vineyard and Redwood Forest ($9, www.burtbees.com), for a rich, bold and creamy red that finished the look flawlessly. As far as her hair, it was a flawless side braid in her already stylish short cut! This is a look that can definitely be recreated for any event and look flawless. Stay tuned for more celeb looks, must have products and more! |
