Can you love a lipstick you haven’t seen on your lips? I hope so.
I’m staring at the photo dark-skinned of Jessica White for the new ad for Maybelline’s Color Sensational lip color. The color is called “Nearly There” and it just may be the perfect nude lip color for a black girl like me. OMG. I’m headed to the store at lunch to see if they have it. Fingers crossed that I can find it in a store in DC. If it is a winner, sistas in Chocolate City have already grabbed it.

Psychology Today Blogger Says Research Shows Black Women Less Attractive

Pure BS! I’m sure you ladies heard about the blogger over at Psychology Today who had the audacity to try to pass his racial bias off as science. The title of the blog post is “Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women? Why black women, but not black men?”. Psychology Today has since taken the post down. I wrote about it on my other blog (There is a link to the article there so you can read for yourself), but since this blog is dedicated to beauty I thought it would be fitting to post a note about it.
I’d love to know what you ladies think about this. Personally, I’m outraged. Not surprised, but outraged. Black women birth black babies and further the black race. Thus, “they” must attack, berate, and abuse us in the media or otherwise. Also, there is also a long history of psychology research focusing on the suggested inferiority of Black people. History has taught us to know racist and eugenic talk from the psychological community a mile a way.

This video from ShinyFashion on Youtube is titled “How to: Party makeup for dark skin“. Um…this sista is NOT dark skinned by my standards as an African American woman…I’m just saying. Never-the-less, it’s a great tutorial for my caramel brown divas out there. I LOVE the color on her lids. YAY, Urban Decay! Party it up this holiday season, ladies. Enjoy! Happy Holidays!
