Keshia Knight-Pulliam First To Get Booted Off Apprentice: But Leaves In Style

Gotta LOVE "Celebrity Apprentice," but don't agree with Mr. Trump booting off classy Keshia Knight-Pulliam from the first, new episode last night.


Just wait, Kate--plus 8, you will have your day soon enough, sweetie.

The former Cosby kid, everyone's fave---little Rudy Huxtable, volunteered to be project manager selling pies with her all-female team. Unfortunately, the girls lost, and Donald Trump blamed Keshia for losing the charity task, because she refused to pull personal strings and contact Bill Cosby her TV dad to ask for a donation.


Having said all that, we couldn't get over how very pretty Keshia is. She has BIG, brown eyes with really long lashes.



And we did a little digging and found out her beauty secret. This is what she told BET.com:

"On a regular day, I really don't wear makeup. But I do have a few must-haves. I love Lancome Hypnose Drama Instant Full Body Volume Mascara," says Keshia.


We found a tube at Sephora for $27.50.

Great tip, Keshia.

Palmer's New Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion For Winter Smooth Skin

We happen to LOVE cocoa butter---expensive, cheap, thick, thin, lotion, cream, etc.

And now we are thrilled about cocoa butter experts Palmer's + their NEW cocoa butter in a can. That's right. In a can.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion. It's available just about everywhere. We found a 7 oz. can for only $5.88 at Walmart.


Just twist + spray. It's really lovely + light. NOT greasy and NOT tough to absorb.

Great when you are finished showering. Spritz and rub in. Smells dreamy, too, if you adore that chocolate-coconut-y cocoa butter scent.



Let's be honest. Winter ushers in dry, frigid temps for most of us, and battling dull, dry skin that is thirsting for hydration is a common, beauty challenge.

This new rapid moisture spray lotion is quick + convenient and absorbs PRONTO!

Cocoa butter happens to be HIGH in fatty acids, meaning it can penetrate deeper into the skin and hydrate from within. Cocoa butter can also be helpful for those with sensitive skin and conditions like eczema + psoriasis. It's a soothing formula.

Spray lotions aren't just for summer, either. This Palmer's cocoa butter spray lotion is a good, beauty budget buy for winter dry skin.

Eye Shadow Just Won't Blend? Try This Quick Fix By Goss Makeup Artist

Eye shadow. It's fun to wear, especially when it GLIDES along your lids and stays put. But often, that is NOT the case.



We don't have a big shadow stash, but we like to switch between dark brown and + dark gray shadows. Sounds boring. But for us, neutrals are simpler to work with.

The problem we often find, is that matte powder shadows are difficult to BLEND. In fact, we observe that eye shadows often escape our lids and DON'T adhere well.

We found a good solution to try from pro makeup artist  Wayne Goss who gives excellent demos on YouTube.


His makeup how-to's are FUN + educational. Plus he's such an affable + cute guy with sensible beauty knowledge.

So let's look at Goss Makeup Artist and his quick fix:

Moisturizer. That's it.

Just dab a tiny bit across your eyelids and up to the brow bone and let it sink in.

Wayne says you will notice an IMMEDIATE difference when you try to apply your shadow. It will go on smoothly.

And he's right. Sounds so simple....and it is.

Check out his YouTube demo here.

Wayne Goss is a YouTube rock star with about 1.4 million subscribers, our self included.

Taylor Swift Rings In NYC New Year With Glam Crop Top + Track Pants Trend!

Singing superstar Taylor Swift never ceases to  AMAZE, and during New Year's Eve in wicked frigid NYC, she came out rockin' in signature, sexy crop top + high-waisted track pants by Jessica Jones and Joseph Cassell .


Taylor was riding the crop top tend PLUS the newer track pants trend. It's that comfy girl look set off by sky-high heels.


NOT an easy look to pull off. You can't even grab an inch of flab on this girl! Still, Taylor makes the sexy ensemble appear elegant, classic + chic.

NO belly button showing. Always lady-like. And there was a sparkly blazer she later removed, even though it was hovering around 30 COLD degrees at Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve show in New York City!

So, will you slip into a pair of track pants in 2015 and ride the trend like Taylor?

We've hunted down a pair to give you a head-start.

Check out this DKNY silk track pants at net-a-porter ($94, on sale).

Darn Cold! Would You Put On A Fur Trapper Hat This Winter?

Fur hats are HOT this season, just like fur jackets in every faux fabric + color you can imagine. For the past couple of days, we've seen the deep freeze making its appearance.

Nothing like a warm, cozy winter hat to help you battle the frigid elements.

We like the classic, fur trapper hat, and yes.....it comes in plenty of faux fur styles. The hat is TOASTY and sort of  goofy-looking and sexy at the same time.

And a faux fur trapper hat will NOT bust your budget. We found one at Forever21 for $14.99!



And we found tons of these super warm winter hats at FurHatWorld for $29.95.


Celebs wear them around, too. We've seen Nicollette Sheridan, Rihanna, Jessica Alba + Kate Hudson doing the fur hat thing.



Would you rock a faux fur trapper hat this winter?
