Rock mother-and-daughter duo Sharon and Kelly Osbourne teamed up with MAC for a two-part makeup collection that's anything but dark.

If the images of dark eyeliner, pale powder and red lips creep into your mind when you think about any of the Osbourne clan, you might want to reconsider. The women of the rock 'n' roll family, Sharon and daughter Kelly, teamed up with MAC to create a cosmetics collection ($17–$58) that features both sides of the mother-daughter duo. And the result is anything but gothic. In fact, it's very feminine and surprisingly wearable.

Sure, the collection features bold colors—it is still Sharon and Kelly we're talking about—but don't expect any harsh blacks or pale whites in this collection. Instead the Osbournes' new line is full of statement-making hues for lips, eyes and face. In addition, both ladies' tastes shine through in this two-part range, which features different colors and products encased in distinct packaging that represents each woman. (Sharon is red and Kelly is violet, in case you were curious.)


Take a look at the entire two-part collection in the slideshow below and check out maccosmetics.com to get your hands on the products yourself.

What do you think of Karl Lagerfeld?

Kristen Stewart: 'He was born to fulfill the role he does, not just in the world of fashion but also in the arts. You know the reason people are intimidated by him is not because he projects that but because of what he has accomplished and everything that he represents. And then when you meet him, he's the opposite of intimidating, he is everything that my experiences taught me about true artists which is that they do what they do because they love it and they need to do it and they have fun doing it. Therefore, when I get to collaborate with those people it's nothing but everything that I want, all I want to do is to create things with people that are good at what they do and you sort of don't get better than him. And just to put it sort of dumbly, even just in the way that we were shooting, if you have to try too hard to do something it's probably because it's not right. Everything today [on the set] was like breathing, it was so easy and he knew as soon as he saw what he wanted, it was like 'done! 'It was effortless and he's awesome and he's so sweet.'

Lupita Nyong'o has added yet another crown to her successful awards season that ended with her bagging an Oscar for best supporting Actress in the movie 12 Years a Slave.  After landing a contract with Lancôme Paris to be its brand ambassador, Lupita was recently named PEOPLE'S Magazine's most beautiful Woman.
"It was exciting and just a major, major compliment," the 31-year-old says of gracing this year's cover. And especially, "I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen."

Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, Nyong'o first equated beauty with what she saw on television: "Light skin and long, flowing, straight hair," she says. "Subconsciously you start to appreciate those things more than what you possess." 

Her mother, Dorothy, who is the managing director and head of PR for the Africa Cancer Foundation, "always said I was beautiful," Nyong'o adds. "And I finally believed her at some point."

In the quest for a healthy lifestyle there have been solutions that people have tried to provide in order to achieve a healthy style of living. Just as there have been solutions so have many myths come up about what is healthy and what is not. These myths have been circulation the world over with scientists and doctors trying to prove whether they are true or not. The risk of heart disease increases with the consumption of egg yolks. Eggs have always had a reputation that they are to be blamed for the high risk of someone getting a heart attack because the cholesterol in the yolk is quite high. The nutritionists have tried to show that this is untrue because there is only a small amount of cholesterol that goes into the blood stream for some individuals.

Naomi Campbell shows off her age-defying figure in a swimsuit on the cover of Shape magazine’s April 2014 issue.
On covering magazines: “I've been on almost every magazine in existence, but this is my first time posing for Shape, and I’m thrilled. Of course, I wish I had done it when I was younger, but it’s an honor to be here at any age ”Every cover I got, I fought for. No’s don’t deter me—they make me more determined.”
On quitting smoking: “People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol. I didn’t believe it, but you know what? It is harder. I’m not someone who wants to light up inside people’s homes, including my own, and I don’t want to stand outside on street corners anymore. It’s still a struggle. In fact, just talking about it makes me crave one, so let’s stop, please! But I am really trying.”

On foods she eats and stays away from: “I don’t eat fish, pork or tuna or any other fish that eats another fish because of mercury. I like spicy foods. I put chili spice on everything!”

I'm loving the Double Wrap Belt trend that has been seen both on the runway and celebrities alike for quite some time. I knew this type of belt but I didn't know what it was called so I was so excited to stumble upon it while browsing and I decided to write about it. It seems belts keep reinventing themselves, from plain, to embellished, to ripped kind of belts. The Double Wrap Belt for instance if just a normal belt but longer which makes the wearer have to wrap it around himself or herself just as the name calls it. 

Designers have been creating their own version of the Double Wrap Belts from Micheal Kors to Diane Von Furstenberge among others. Victoria Beckham has been spotted with the Double Wrap Belt with different outfits. The Best part of wearing this type of belt is that it is versatile and can be worn with several different outfits and as an accessory. You can put it on with your full skirt, chino pants, wear it with shorts and even use it to cinch your waist when wearing the belt with a waterfall cardigan. Your skinny jeans can also benefit form wearing the Double wrap Belt. This type of belt is lovely, trendy and quite simple to pull of because there is no absolute way of wearing it, choose to make it your own and create your own trend while at it. See how to dress this Double Wrap Belt.



Wedding planning is the process of identifying things that are necessary for a successful day for the bride and groom. Checklists include the number of guests and sitting arrangements that will be used during that big day. The venue is also included in the wedding planning process. Invitations to be sent to the guests and family are also considered in the wedding planning, which color, design and how many are to be bought. In wedding planning the budget is considered to ensure that bride and groom have a reasonable amount of money that is comfortable for them to spend.


Pregnancy is a time of celebration for the parents of the child and even friends and family. Celebrations usually follow with the announcement that you are pregnant. The news is received with a lot of excitement and expectations. Friends will throw a party to celebrate the expected addition to your family as they await the birth of the child or children in cases of multiple pregnancies.

Fertility envy affects those women who cannot give birth or have been trying for years that they have been forced to consider either adoption or treatments to assist in conceiving. A woman may be in her thirties and unable to conceive only to hear that her friend is expecting another child. This brings about feelings of envy and sometimes even anger. Though not intended the feelings are usually the first thing that they feel as a response to news of pregnancy, which may last for a while or even cause the friendship to end.
Being jealous of your friend being pregnant will only cause stress for you and your friend that needs to be healthy for the pregnancy. Here are some reasons why envy caused by pregnancy news should not be a part of your life.


Necklaces are jewelries that are mostly favored by women. They come in all sorts of designs, colours, shapes and even weights. They have been in existence since the beginning of time as they had different meanings to the wearers. Vintage necklaces are jewelries that are originally from the past and have been preserved until the present day.  They are those that have no replicas and are unique to their designs. They have a higher value than ordinary necklaces and some are even sold at auctions to the highest buyer.

Bold, chunky and full of art is what can be described as the characteristics of a vintage necklace. They are rarely found easily as some have specific shops that sell them.  Owing to how delicate vintage necklaces are, they are only handled by experts in the field of jewelry production who understand their intricacies. Acquiring vintage necklaces is not as easy as going into a shop and asking for one. Most of the shops that sell them usually have replicas or imitations. Sometimes the designers may create the necklaces in the design of certain pieces of the vintage necklaces.

On Hillary Clinton being the next president of the US: “Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there’s unity. There’s gonna be unity. So when you think about a night where there’s late-night talk-show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that’s a different world. That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins.

 Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you’re a woman, and there’s no way in the world you’re going to vote for somebody that’s going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary’s gonna win. Listen, I’m reaching out to her right now. She’s gonna win.”

When it comes to Kid’s Fashion, most parents would like for their children to look fabulous even if just for their own fun. But today the fashion industry is not just for grownups, even kids have become models who showcase clothes for their peers which make it a competitive field to be in, especially those Hollywood mums who want their kids to be in trend and even make money out of modelling. So I came across this kid Alonso Mateo…he is so cute and is already “fashionising” the web world with his looks. He spots all the latest trends, monochromatic, rolled-up jeans, happy socks, tailored suits, colored laces, loafers, round-shaped shades, denim just to name a few of them. He is a really cute style icon who knows what he wants. His mom has a lot to do with the outfits too but it takes a kid who knows his stuff to pull off some of these looks. I can’t even imagine what he will be spotting when he is in his teens and even adulthood. Plus Alonso Mateo has the greatest poses you ever saw! His statement fashion accessory Aviator Sunglasses! See him in action below.

The t-shirt has been in existence since the 1940’s, initially made for the navy to be used as an inner garment; it has evolved into a stylish piece of clothing that most men own. The t-shirt is an essential wardrobe staple for any man who knows how to put together an amazing style. With t-shirts they are mostly to be worn when going out, as a casual outfit but they can still make a statement. There are various types of t-shirts, they include:

Plain t-shirts are t-shirts that usually have only one color like white, blue or even purple. They usually have no words or pictures written on them. They may at times have two colors with no words or pictures on them.
Printed t-shirts are t-shirts that have images on them. Images of photographs, cartoon and sometimes words written on them are part of printed t-shirts. Printed t-shirts are also those that have company logos or even the logo of an upcoming event.

Graffiti t-shirts are those that have artistic images of characters, cartoons or messages that are often depicted with different colors. They are mostly worn by the young men who want to express themselves through art and fashion. Among other types of t-shirts are the long or short sleeved ones.

The snood is basically a form of scarf that is versatile, simple to pull off and can be worn with any outfit. The snood comes in many different styles, colors, patterns and materials that you can choose from. It all boils down to your own personal taste and whether you like wearing the scarf or not. If you want an understated look go for a neutral color that can blend well with almost everything in your wardrobe. Since a snood is already designed to look like a scarf, there will be no bulky knots to look unsightly or lumps that are mostly in tying a normal scarf.

If you have a simple outfit on, a snood will give you that nice texture and detailing that comes with wearing the Snood.  You can choose to go bold with your Snood by selecting a bolder color to match or clash with it. The Snood can stand on its own as an accessory in case you want to bring an uplifting mood to your outfits. Since Snoods look casual they are to be worn to work only when your work environment allows it. 


The Birkin bag is a handbag by Hermès, handmade in leather and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public.
Its prices range from £6,000 to £100,000 ($9,000 to $150,000). Costs escalate according to the type of materials. The bags are distributed to Hermès boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, creating scarcity and, intended or unintended

Here's a bit of History about the famous extravagant handbag

In 1981, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the deck, leaving her to scramble to replace the contents. Birkin explained to Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her, based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself then later changed her mind because she was carrying too many things in it: “What’s the use of having a second one?” she laughs. “You only need one and that busts your arm; they’re bloody heavy. I’m going to have to have an operation for tendonitis in the shoulder.” Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon. Here are some celebrities spotting the trend.


Shoes have been in existence since man learnt that they could wear them to protect their feet from the harsh environmental conditions. From heels to shoes with chunky bottoms, they have become an integral part of our lives as they have evolved into designer wear. Then flat shoes came, which come in various types for instance Espadrille whose sole is made of rubber and the upper part made of cotton. Canvas is also a material used to make the shoes worn by mostly women.

Men have also started wearing them as they are closed toed. White flats shoes are best worn during summer. They give off an airy feeling of relaxation and can be paired with a linen trouser, a floral skirt or pair of shorts. The flats also look great paired with tights for as fun day out.  Jeans are also a good outfit to wear with white ballet flats with a matching dressy top at parties.  White flat shoes like loafers can be worn by both men and women. Lace up brogues is also flat shoe that is stylish and can come in white worn with a casual outfit like jeans.

Wedges are also flat shoes since the base does not have a heel and they can be white. Wedges are great worn with maxi dresses or skirts. They can even be worn with skinny jeans and since they are casual should be worn for events like picnics or going out with friends.  White flat shoes can only be worn to the office on casual Friday days or even weekends. Reasons for wearing flat shoes include the following:

During the years and centuries there have been various styles of clothing that have come and gone. Fashion has made some styles more exclusive and others have been given new twists to make them more current. Styles have been recycled as they are while others have disappeared completely to be replaced by newer trends. It is always a battle between the new and the old style. These creations have been as a result of young people trying to find clothes trends that match their lifestyle. 

The lifestyle of youths is where things are always happening at one time or another. Styles are made to reflect who they are and become. The youth are always on the lookout for new and emerging trendy fashion that they can associate themselves with. Regardless of where such styles originate from, trends become permanently etched in society where everyone adapts to it. There has never been a style that has beaten the odd of time and stuck like the urban clothing style.



Obesity is the condition where there is a lot of fat in the body leading to weight increase and bad health conditions. Obesity is caused by food intake that is excess and in abnormally large quantities. An obese person mostly does not have control over the amount of food they are eating.

There's only one word that accurately describes how I we feel about the Vintage Necklaces Trend: OBSESSED!  I can’t tell you how much I love vintage pieces from outfits to jewelry even interior decor, but for now I’m currently into vintage necklaces especially chunky ones made out of brass, copper or hard silver. Necklaces create a sense of elegance, security and strong beauty. Vintage necklaces give you that sense of royalty and unmatched exquisiteness.

I always love visiting flea markets, garage sales or even boot sales where people are discarding their old stuff. That is where you can get the best jewelry that is vintage and quite unique. The best part about Vintage Necklaces is that they are one of a kind. You can hardly find pieces that look alike or made with the same design. The chunky one especially have a unique quality in them that makes you feel and look like you have stepped out of a couture magazine of old Hollywood glam. To get that exquisite look and show off your Vintage Necklace, wear with a V-Neck outfit, round or plunging outfit that will show it off in a perfect way. Vintage Necklaces look perfect with flowing evening gowns but can also be worn with for instance a Little Black Dress. The Vintage Necklace can be paired with skinny jeans, a fitted t-shirt and boyfriend blazer for that casual yet sophisticated look.


When it comes to home decoration and interiors, tiles play an important part in turning a house into a home. More people are becoming interested in decorating their homes so that it has a sense of warmth and is attractive. Interior decorating does not necessarily need one to have an education background in interior design. On just needs a creative mind and explore whatever designs makes them happy. A person needs to know the kinds of tiles available in the market. They also come in different colors and even textures.
Every house has a specific design that has been incorporated into it. As for tiles they come in different designs for different rooms. 

There are tiles that are meant for the bathroom which can be as colorful as the house owner wants. There are tiles for the kitchen which are mostly in one color or design. For the kitchen you can also have two colors so that the room does not look so busy. Then there are tiles for other rooms like the living or dining room. Here you can choose to mix and match the patterns and even colors.


Dark under eye circles are a common cosmetic concern that affect people of all ages and skin types. Whether temporary or persistent, these shadows under the eyes can make someone appear tired, older, or unwell, even if they feel perfectly fine. While they are usually not a sign of a serious medical condition, dark circles can affect self-confidence and the way individuals perceive their overall appearance. Understanding what causes dark under eye circles and the most effective treatment methods can help reduce their appearance and restore a fresher, brighter look.


As well as being an excellent source of calcium, protein, riboflavin, phosphorous and vitamin B12, yogurt promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in our guts. These bacteria have a variety of important jobs, from helping to digest food to defending us against the unfriendly bacteria that cause infection and tummy upsets (including the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, the bug now recognized as a common underlying factor in digestive conditions such as ulcers and stomach cancer.)

Beyonce launched her new perfume Rise in February of 2014. The concept that lies behind the creation of this fragrance was inspired by Beyonce’s on-stage persona, as well as by “female empowerment and finding the inner strength that makes women so beautiful" (wwd). The fragrance is supposedly more intimate and more natural than the previous ones, inspired by the works of singer's favorite poet Maya Angelou.

The composition is announced as intoxicating, addictive and luminous floral created by Loc Dong. Its opening notes include apricot, Italian bergamot and iced basil sorbet. The main note of the perfume is, of course, orchid and this time it is an orchid called "Golden Symphony", which is mixed with freesia and Sambac jasmine flowers and placed at the base of the autumn woods, cashmere, musk and vetiver.

The fragrance is available as 15, 30 and 50 ml Eau de Parfum with an accompanying collection for body care.

On whether he cares much about Hollywood accolades: ‘I don’t. But I would never say, “I don’t give a sh*t about the Oscars,” because it’s not the whole truth. It’s not about the shiny, naked golden man, or the pat on the back, it’s about being able to stand on a world stage for two minutes in front of a billion people and say something that is meaningful, important to you.’

On losing a lot of weight for Dallas Buyers Club: ‘I have very strong self-control. There is something very seductive about it,’ he admits when we discuss his crash, three-stone weight loss for Rayon, during which the slight actor virtually stopped eating. (He used to go to the supermarket just to stare at the food.) ‘I got to understand the mentality of an eating disorder. There are the highs of losing more weight; there’s a rush of endorphins associated with that control. When you have made a severe commitment to losing weight, there is a lot of shame and guilt around eating again. I really suffered that, it’s not a nice feeling...’ But Leto found solace in self-exploration. ‘The process can be very monk-like — there is a history of people who have fasted to achieve enlightenment. There is something in that, getting to know who you are. It changed me.’

Want to look bright and ready for a great day, why not try putting on bright lipstick for that no fuss makeup look.  Bright lipstick gives you a bold look which will complete your makeup without having to put on too much eye shadow or bright eyeliner because bright lipstick stands out on its own.

Choose a bright lipstick that complements your skin tone or go bold and contrast it with your color. When applying the bright lipstick fill your entire lip with lip liner so that your lipstick will last longer and stop it from feathering outward. Your lip liner should be similar to your lipstick shade so that it will not look off. Better still you can choose a nude lip liner to maintain the bright lipstick's color. Be adventurous and  choose a bright lip liner which will complement or alter the shade of the bright lipstick.
