I'm sure you all know by now that Rihanna was selected as one of Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year. I love that she's speaking out about domestic violence and letting young women know that it's not ok! She actually shared the December 2009 cover issue with four others who were also selected as Women of the Year.

I loved her spread inside the magazine and couldn't decide which I loved most- her fuchsia lipstick or Gucci boots? Well, of course, the lipstick wins! It reminds me of MAC's "Girl About Town (Fabulous Fuchsia)", which is a hot pink that looks good on a variety of complexions. Oh, and I love her nail polish, too. Anyone know the name of the shade?

Also, let me know your vote- hot pink lips or Gucci boots!

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: Beyonce's Vogue Magazine April 2009 Cover

If you've viewed my current "Mischo Beauty Cover of the Month" (see top left side column), then you know how I feel about this... all I really have to say is "FINALLY!"...

I haven't received my copy as of yet, but I'm assuming her makeup is all L'Oreal (she's a spokesmodel) and that her hair was done by Kimberly Kimble... as soon as I have all the details, I'll post them!

You must tell me what you think!

Mischo Beauty Pick: EverPure by L'Oreal Paris

For those of you who invest time and money in coloring your hair, I highly suggest doing the same with your home maintenance routine. One of my top beauty tips is to invest in products for your particular skin and hair type/needs/issues, and with that said if you color your hair, you should be using a shampoo and conditioner formulated for color-treated hair.

EverPure is the newest shampoo and conditioner launch from L'Oreal Paris. What makes the shampoo and conditioner different is that they are formulated without sulfates, surfactants and salts which are drying, strip color and cause premature fading.

Both are formulated with UVA and UVB filters (for sun protection), are 100% vegan and contain extracts such as rosemary, juniper and mint which all smell amazing!

Though my hair isn't color-treated, it's always super dry, so I did test the EverPure Moisture shampoo and conditioner and was pleased with the ease of use (yes, the shampoo does lather) and the way my hair felt after using them. The conditioner left my hair soft and very easy to comb through (one of my biggest challenges!).

I'm loving that there's a range of products in this line, which means you have no excuse for not selecting the shampoo and conditioner for your specific haircolor needs. For those of you who deal with frizzy hair- try the EverPure Smooth collection and for those of you with thin, limp hair- try the EverPure Volume collection.
