A former celebrity styling agent for professional makeup, hair and fashion stylists, Crystal is also the author of Crystal Wright's Hair, Makeup & Styling Career Guide which is a self-help book (actually considered an industry "bible") to guide aspiring stylists in developing the tools, skills and professionalism needed behind the scenes in the entertainment, fashion and beauty industries.

Crystal Wright was first brought to my attention after hearing so much positive feedback about her "Build Your Portfolio and Marketing" workshop. And to add to her growing list of accomplishments, she is also the author of 30 Days At 100 Percent: Changing Your Life 30 Days At A Time.

She's clearly driven, focused and most importantly works smart, and that's why she is this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar".

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Karen Robinovitz: Founder & Creatrix, Purple Lab

I've been following the founder of Purple Lab, Karen Robinovitz, for over a year now since being introduced to her first product launch, Huge Lips Skinny Hips. And I must say, she's a woman after my own heart! We have somewhat similar paths in that we both attended college in Atlanta, were both pre-med majors, but most importantly we share a passion for beauty and beauty entrepreneurship.

Over the past year, not only have I witnessed the amazing take off of Huge Lips Skinny Hips, but Karen has also successfully launched a collection of foundations, concealers, blushes, eyeliners, mascaras and of course, a complete range of lip products. Great products, along with an amazing marketing/social media campaign have landed Purple Lab on HSN!

And with all that said, I'm sure you can see why she's a huge inspiration and an amazing role model- and that's why she is this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar". To learn more about Karen and Purple Lab, check out the website , Facebook page, and follow her and Purple Lab on Twitter. Oh, and be sure to let me know if you've tried any Purple Lab products. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Karen's Body Beautiful

If you're wondering how to get gorgeous hair now (yes, that's the headline for the August issue of ELLE UK- and so appropriate for this post!), then you need to seriously consider checking out the collection of hair products by Karen's Body Beautiful. I'm using the regimenUltimate Conditioning Shampoo, Complete Hair Conditioner, Sweet Ambrosia and Butter Love- and my naturally dry, Type 4 hair loves it!

I'm proof that these products work for all hair types/issues. I'm 3 months post-texturizer, have 3 inches of new growth and the midshaft to ends of my hair are relaxed. So yes, these products work for a variety of hair types and needs. And, this specific regimen is recommended for hair prone to dryness, which definitely meets my needs.

The collection is free of parabens, sulfates and mineral oil, and is formulated with ingredients such as olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and apricot kernel oil. If that isn't a formula for gorgeous hair, then I don't know what is! Wouldn't you agree?

Disclosure: Products in this post were provided for consideration by the company. For more information, please see my disclosure.

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Karen Tappin-Saunderson: Founder, Karen’s Body Beautiful

Since you all have been following my blog for some time now, you already know that there's nothing I love more than beauty entrepreneurs. And so, I'm happy to introduce you to Karen Tappin-Saunderson, the founder of Karen’s Body Beautiful and this week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar". The Karen's Body Beautiful collection (hair and body products) was launched in 2004 and now is available via the chic boutique (located in Brooklyn, NY) and online at karensbodybeautiful.com.

Not only are these products natural and good for you (they're free of parabens, sulfates and mineral oil), but they're formulated with ingredients such as olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and apricot kernel oil which only results in needed moisture and nourishment. I've used a fabulous regimen consisting of the Ultimate Conditioning Shampoo, Complete Hair Conditioner, Sweet Ambrosia and Butter Love- and my Type 4 hair loved it (complete review coming soon)!

To learn more, check out Karen's website, join her Facebook page and follow her on Twitter. And, most importantly, be sure to let me know if you've tried her products. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Lisa Eldridge

As much as I love reading the international editions of Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour and many others, surprisingly it wasn't through these publications that I discovered the work of celebrity makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge (though her work has appeared in those listed and many more!). Twitter is to blame! Someone on my timeline retweeted Lisa, which led me to her Twitter page, website, portfolio and YouTube videos- and the rest is history! Her work is amazing and I thought you should know about her. Enjoy!

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Keith Campbell: The Hair Architect

Earlier today I saw that celebrity hairstylist and Mischo Beauty Superstar- Keith Campbell tweeted the most amazing Twitpics of a client's haircut and color that knocked me off of my feet! Yes, it took my breath away and this is the reason why, yet again, he's been named the Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week!

And what I love most about Keith is that he can cut, color and style every hair texture, like hairstylists are supposed to be able to do, and do well! That's one of my biggest pet peeves with hairstylists today.... end vent! On another note, my beauty editor, Ayanna, created the Twitter hashtags #BEAUTYisTRUTH and #BEAUTYisART, which we use for the obvious reasons. And Keith's work is such an amazing example of both.

Redheads are really the new bombshells, but then again we've always been bombshells, haven't we {I know, I'm biased- hehehe ;}? ! Love her new hair as much as I do? Let me know!

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Oscar James

My love for hair is what started this blog and so it's only right for me to introduce you all to the "Mischo Beauty Superstar" of the week, Oscar James. He's an amazing celebrity hairstylist I've been following for quite some time now. You may recognize his hairstyling genius on clients such as Tyra, Iman, Halle Berry and Veronica Webb- to name just a few!

He's styled hair for ad campaigns such as Revlon, L'Oreal, Pantene and SoftSheen-Carson. Check out his amazing portfolio here, as well as his website. Oh, and you can see him in action over on Sam Fine's blog. Be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section!

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Keith Campbell: The Hair Architect

This week's "Mischo Beauty Superstar" is celebrity hairstylist, Keith Campbell. Now when I tell you that Keith's work speaks for itself- It. Speaks. For. Itself! And if you don't believe me, take a look at his portfolio and you'll agree. He works on celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Nia Long, Eva Pigford, etc.), styles ad campaigns, does tons of editorial work, commercials- and the list goes on and on.

What I love most about Keith is that he's mastered every texture of hair (and no I'm not referring to "good hair", "black hair", "white hair"- because we all know those terms are incorrect by now- right?). He effortlessly styles hair types 1-4, without a blink of an eye. And his cuts, color, weaves and updos are nothing less than perfection! And yes, he does still do hair out of his salon in New Jersey- oh, and he's got a new blog over on Essence.com.

So now you hopefully see why I HEART him so much, and why he's been my "Mischo Beauty Hairstylist of the Month" (check the left-hand column) for like ever!!! Be sure to visit his website, check out his blog and follow him on Twitter! Enjoy.

Love his work? Let me know!
