Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: Nicki Minaj, Zoe Saldana, Tyra Banks and more!
Happy Monday Bombers and Bombshells!What a weekend I had. Weddings, parties, dinners, the works…I’m truly relishing these last few weeks of summer!
And it seems a slew of our fave celebs did as well. Let’s take a look:
Our Madame Ty Ty seems to have a thing for jumpsuits, so slipped on a delightfully colorblocked number for VH1's Do Something Awards in Hollywood. While Tyra’s yellow piped leather choice from last week elicited quite the number of hmms, I think her option here is hot!

Weekend Makeup Idea: Contoured Cheeks
Perhaps it’s because I grew up watching women like Grace Jones, Iman, and the entire cast of “Dynasty” (uh, hello Dominique Deveraux fierceness), but I LOVE a good cheek. A great contoured cheek just really sculpts the face and #realtalk can be an instant face lift.
So wherever your weekend plans take you, do consider contouring those cheeks. You may not even need to run out and buy anything as what you need may already exist in your makeup stash.
You’ll need:*A vivid blush color
