Sheree Fletcher is still whooping ash and taking names with her new organic beauty line, Whoop Ash. Centric was on hand at her product launch in NYC earlier this month, and it has been love ever since.  99% natural and free of parabens and preservatives, Whoop Ash “truly celebrates the glow that is within all of us,” according to Fletcher.

The former wife of Will Smith and the mother of his eldest son, Trey; spent nearly six years perfecting this ash annihilating goodness. It’s light non-greasy formula absorbs immediately in the skin and doesn’t leave a strong scent (thus making it Fellas-friendly). The “White Honey, Mango & Shea Butter” body butter cream ($19.95) is comfort food for the skin.

The body isn’t the only thing Fletcher is tackling, she is out to moisturize your lips. Her Lip Smack ($.6.95)—a powerful blend of emollients, antioxidants, vitamins and nurtrients—soothes and restores dry and chapped lips. If that wasn’t enough, it smells like sugar cookies. Sounds amazing right?

Ladies, maintaining great hair is a task worthy of recognition. Whether it’s kinky, curly, relaxed, locked, twisted or cropped—you shouldn’t be afraid to show off your crowning glory. So why not be rewarded for your maintained mane?

African Pride’s has launched their new beauty campaign, “My Pride, My Way”, and now they are giving a lucky winner the chance to win a head-to-toe glam squad makeover, an intimate dinner with a surprise male celebrity and a year’s supply of African Pride’s Olive Miracle collection.

Nails colors have become an accessory all their own. While Fall was all about metallics and jewel tones, this Spring will be all about texture. A nice and easy—not to mention, cheap—way to get some texture on your nails is to apply OPI’s Black Shatter Top Coat. The topcoat gives the effect that the nail polish underneath has been shattered with black flecks everywhere. At $8.50 a bottle, this is one trend that won’t hurt your pockets.

Estee Lauder’s new spring collection has rolled out just in time for New York Fashion week. One of the best parts of this candy colored collection is by far the mascara. Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Mascara is quite impressive. At first glance you are sucked in by the slick packaging, but after applying to your lashes, you will see this mascara is indeed sumptuous. Lashes will not only look thick and long but extremely glossy. The mascara also comes in basic black, violet, indigo and brown. At $23.50 this glittering tube of mascara is a must have.

The fight against aging can be daunting as one tries to keep the skin youthful and tight. But when is the best time to start preparation for the battle? Try mid 20’s. Sounds extreme, but its true! Granted “black don’t crack”, but it takes a lot of polishing and tender loving care to make that a reality. So what’s a girl to do about the inevitable crows feet? Try Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Eye Cream. This product works to reduce puffiness and dryness that lead to cracking and dark circles under the eye. The thing about this eye cream is that it isn’t just preventative, it is restorative as well. The cream recharges and rehydrates at night to repair lines and the skin’s tone. So even if you are past the stage of prevention, you can restore and ward off future damage. That’s a win -win beauty situation. ($46, available at select fine department stores nationwide).
