Don't miss Class and Cocktails with 2x Emmy Award winning hair stylist and educator Kiyah Wright!

If' you've been following me for a while, you know that I'm a fan of Celebrity Hair Stylist, Kiyah Wright! I had a chance to meet the fabulous bi-coastal hair star in Atlanta for her "Perfect Your Weave and Increase Your Income" training. If you're a stylist wanting to advance to another level with your clients and artistry, Kiyah can help you do it!

You've seen her work on Ciara, Jill Scott, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Hudson and Keri Washington just to name a few. You can also find her at one of the most super, star studded salons in LA, Warren Tricomi.

AJ Crimson BB Cream NYC Launch Party

Celebrity Makeup Artist, AJ Crimson hosted a fabulous NY launch party for his BB+D Cream on Tuesday, May 7 at the Shoreham Hotel.  AJ has created what I believe might be the best BB Cream for Women of Color to date.  With 11 amazing shades, you're bound to find one that suites you perfectly.

AJ partnered up with OFRA Cosmetics for the development of this beauty balm that will moisturize, correct, protect, hydrate and cover blemishes.  While most brands only offer a small range in shades, AJ went one step further and considered women globally.

“My goal is to bridge that gap!” says Crimson. “Women in the global community come in more than a couple shades and are left with limited options. By customizing the right shades and increasing the coverage, we made BB better!”  

What AJ Crimson BB+D Cream offers:

• Anti- Aging
• Vitamin C
• Antixidant agents
• Nourishing
• Helps retains skins moisture
• Flower extract that treats bacteria and helps heal scars and acne

AJ Crimson BB+D Cream is $34 and available at www.ajcrimson.com.

I had my consultation with Makeup Artist, LeRenda

If you've had the opportunity to use AJ Crimson BB+D Cream I want to hear your thoughts.  

I'll be sharing my full review soon, so stay tuned!
