Ooooohhhh, Dior Skin Nude- Colors for Brown Girls?

Sounds and looks amazing “lightweight coverage, with daily use improves skin texture” Sign us up!
Hmmmm, but their Dark Brown looks like it may work for the coloring of say a Zoe Saldana or Halle Berry, which, frankly excludes a lot of other women of color. We could be wrong…just saying. If you’ve tried it let us know!

Get Your Hair Right!

Whether your hair is relaxed, natural, color-treated or a combination of them all, to keep your hair healthy, it needs moisture!
Lucky for you, all three hair products in this month’s Pillow Box are chock full of moisturizing ingredients! The marshmallow root in Amazing Botanicals shampoo and conditioner help detangle and soften hair, while wildflower honey acts as a humectant to seal in moisture, finish with a (tiny, if you hair is fine, more if not) dab of Pooka Pure and Simple hair butter and you’re good to go!
Let us know what you think when you’ve tried it!

Racist or “inspired”?

One of Vogue Italia’s recent spreads has been picked apart in the media today for racism. The editor-in-chief doesnt seem to think so:

The Cut: What do you think when you see that something you put together is being labeled racist?
Franca Sozzani (EIC): A racist image, I really do not understand. I went through the pages so many times. Like when we did the Black Issue, everybody said that we did that on purpose because Obama was the person chosen to go to the White House, and if you just think one second, not more than one second, you can see that to make a magazine like what we did for the Black Issue, it takes six months [to do]. … People wanted to see an economical and a financial [decision], just to get more money, because we talk about Black Issue, it’s probably because the president is black. What do you answer? They don’t know what it means to work at a magazine. That’s it.

Seems messy to me. Your thoughts?

Uh Oh! Look’s like Evelyn Lozada’s makeup line is already a bust
Crunk and Disorderly figured out her makeup deal with Coastal Scents was just a major repackaging. Sorry kids. If you still on a mission to look like her just get some huge tacky earrings and disgust people with your horrible potty mouth… EW.
