I loved the makeup worn by these beautiful ladies at the Grammy Awards, very clean, natural, a touch of colour and hints of shimmer.

Dispelling the Myths about Hair Oil
Still hesitant to use hair oils even though they are the hottest trend in salons across the country? Let Macadamia Natural Oil dispel the common concerns and open your beauty routine to the most simple, effective solution to beautiful hair.
Myth 1: Using hair oil, such as Macadamia Natural Oil, will make my scalp and hair greasy.
Fact: Oils such as Macadamia and Argan are absorbed quickly into the hair and scalp leaving no greasy residue (as seen with serums or other shine products). Macadamia Nut Oil is an essential fatty acid, yet has the uncanny similarity and ability to mimic the body’s own natural oils, allowing for unparalleled absorption and rapid penetration into hair and skin.
Be a Nut! Take the Macadamia challenge and rub a pump of the oil into your hands. After 5 minutes, check your hands. You’ll be amazed!
Myth 2: I cant use oil on my fine hair.
Fact: Hair Oil is unbiased when it comes to hair type or hair length. From kinky and curly to fine or thin, hair oils such as Macadamia Natural Oil can be used on all types. Share it in the shower or horde it for yourselves, this hair oil is created equal!
Be a Nut! Still gun-shy about oils? Use half a pump on your first use.
Myth 3: All oils are the same
Fact: No! In fact not only are there many different types of oils such as macadamia nut, argan, acai, flaxseed, sweet almond, sunflower and coconut, but the extraction process also varies greatly and can play a critical role in the oil’s efficacy.
Be a Nut! Soothe your skin, hair and senses by adding a few drops of oil in your next bath.
Myth 4: I have temperamental skin and I am afraid using oil will cause break outs on the skin around my hair line.
Fact: The benefits of Macadamia Nut Oil aren't just for the hair. As mentioned earlier, this particular oil mimics the body’s own natural oil, replenishing the body of of the oils that leave the skin due to everyday environmental factors. Trust us, no one is dare suggesting that you rub baby oil or mineral oil anywhere near your skin! But the oils used in Macadamia Natural Oil are as restorative and beneficial to the skin on your face, as the skin on your head!
Be a Nut! Apply oil on dry skin spots such as elbows, knees, and heels.
Myth 5: I As long as I eat foods with essential fatty acids like salmon and walnuts, my hair will be healthy.
Fact: While it is true that a diet rich in omega 3’s is beneficial to the skin and hair as well as the heart, it is definitely not the most effective way to restore the health of the hair. In fact, studies show that ingesting foods that contain omega 3’s and applying them topically with an oil such as Macadamia Oil, will provided added benefits and maximum effect.
Be a Nut! Massage any left over oil into your cuticles and see how quickly your hands and nails drink up the moisture!

100,000 Years of Beauty
- 100,000 years of beauty is 5 volumes of essays written by over 300 academics all about fashion, cosmetics from pre-history to present day. Commissioned by L'oreal. source
- In 1823, a British professor named William Buckland discovered a skeleton covered in red ochre and surrounded by ivory jewelry in a cave in Wales. Buckland assumed the bones dated to the Roman period and concluded the woman was a prostitute because she wore jewelry. But it turns out "she" was actually a high-ranking man, perhaps a warrior or hunter, who had been buried 27,000 years ago.
- Ancient Egyptians were seriously obsessed with their appearance. Accounts of the period show that one of their criteria for beauty was pale, smooth skin. So both men and women used depilatory patches, as well as various products to lighten their skin.
- Medieval cosmetics involved lots of itchy and stinging products. Many women preferred to follow homegrown recipes: cucumber juice was said to remove freckles; boiled nettles improved your complexion.
- One professor of psychology speculates that after centuries of gender disparity, the future of humanity is androgyny, a kind of common, shared perception of beauty.

Tyra Banks Beauty Campaign
Let's help Tyra Banks changed the definition of beauty. Tyra's new mission called Beauty Inside and Out (B.I.O) goal is to broaden our definitions of beauty (just like my blog Beauty Is Diverse).
"It's not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box. So now, I'm asking women around the world to make a pledge to expand their definition of beauty. To put all types of beauty into the spotlight. Think outside of the box. It's time for you to celebrate and help redefine beauty. Let's rejoice and embrace "non-traditional beauty". Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you. I also ask that you spread love and positive beauty messages to others. Tell your friend, family member or even a stranger that their atypical features are flawless."
"Make a video, 30 seconds or less. Tell us your first name, where you're from, and what you're going to do to expand the definition of beauty. You can talk about accepting and celebrating yourself or your big plans to redefine beauty. You can also show us you in action doing your thing! Then, upload it on the video player and write any comments below it. Can't wait to see you! I'm going to be looking at every single one. Seriously. :)"
