Mischo Beautyliciousness...



The beauty in this photo is most definitely the partnership between Mary J. Blige and Catherine Malandrino which resulted in a fashion show yesterday evening to benefit Mary's nonprofit organization, FFAWN (Foundation For the Achievement of Women Now). A beautiful partnership for an amazing cause- I love it!

I'm also loving their haircolor (had to mention it!) in the photo above, which actually caught my attention first- Mary's buttery blonde and Catherine's rich red brunette. The reason I went to beauty school and the reason I started this blog!

Love it as much as I do? Let me know...

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Kiyah Wright



I can't believe it's time for this post again- time is flying! At any rate, I'm happy to announce that this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar" is celebrity hairstylist, Kiyah Wright. Now you might be unfamiliar with her name, but if you've ever seen an episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" (for which she won an Emmy!) or "America's Next Top Model", then you've witnessed the fabulous hairstyles she's created for Tyra. Kiyah's also styled celebrities such as Iman, Kerry Washington, Mary J. Blige and Faith Evans, just to name a few.

Her work has appeared in such magazines as Vogue, ELLE, Glamour and Essence. I think what I'm loving most is that while Kiyah loves working "behind the chair", she's been able to use her expertise to develop hair accessories and products, and launch an image consulting company called, Muze Agency (all the things I'm planning to do!). Anyway, check out her amazing portfolio here, as well as her website. Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section!

Mischo Beauty Loves Carol's Daughter



I remember when Carol's Daughter was a little store in Brooklyn, and I love that it's now grown into a beauty empire! I'll love Carol's Daughter forever and the reason is because the products actually work! For those of you who've been following my blog, you'll remember that I've posted here and here about some of the many products I love.



Because of my hair type and current hair needs, I've been using the Tui Collection (Tui Herbal Shampoo, Tui Leave-In Conditioner, Tui Hair Oil and the Tui Hair Smoothie) of hair products, which are recommended for dry/damaged hair. My hair is naturally dry and seems to soak up everything I put in it, so I need products that add moisture while conditioning. I've been following the recommended regimen, step-by-step, as listed here. Now my hair loves the Tui Collection, but for those of you with other hair types/needs, there's a regimen of products for you listed under "Shop By Solution" under the "Hair" tab.



I've been testing the "Wash Away the Oil" Essential Serum and basically what it does is nourishes and protects the skin while working to regulate the skin's oil glands. Now it's recommended for normal-to-oily skin types, and due to my oily t-zone, I fit into this category. I've worked the serum into my skincare regimen by using it at night, after cleansing and toning. My skin feels soft and smooth in the mornings, but I'd love to use it with the suggested regimen of products.



Now with Mother's Day coming up this weekend, you all should really consider the Pearls by Carol's Daughter fragrance. The scent includes top notes of lemon verbena, apricot and peach and it smells amazing!



And for a limited time only, the Pearls fragrance is included in a gift set along with the Body Creme Deluxe Sample and a keepsake Jewelry Box.



I love the presentation of the gift set, and it would definitely make for a lovely gift! So, now you all must tell me which Carol's Daughter products you love, and which products are on your list to try!

Mischo Beauty Fashion Week Coverage: Nobu 57 & Mary J. Blige #NYFW


First, I must thank you all for patiently awaiting my updates! This past weekend was hectic, but I had a ball to say the least! My first day of Fashion Week started with many surprises. After arriving into New York, rushing to Bryant Park to pick of my press credentials and waiting in line to cover my first show, I discovered that the show was over-booked and therefore I wasn't able to get in. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was- but that happens at Fashion Week. My friends and I then decided to head over to Nobu 57 and have drinks, while we waited to be seated for our dinner reservation. Well not only was the food great, but we also saw more celebrities there than we'd actually ever seen in-person! We were lucky enough to be seated right next to them. If you follow my Twitter updates, then you've already seen a few of them listed.

I must tell you all that Mary J. Blige looked AMAZING in-person. My first thoughts were: "Wow, she said "Hi" to us!" and "Wow, she has a GREAT trainer!". And yes, believe it or not, I noticed her makeup and hair very last- and that's a surprise, though they were both flawless! I'm inspired to step-up my workout regimen and be more consistent with it. Beauty begins within and if you aren't following a healthy diet and working out- it will show on the outside, believe me! Nikeplus.com here I come!
