I get asked a lot of questions on Musings of a Muse. “How do you afford all this?” “How big is your makeup collection?” “What’s your favorite lipstick?” “Did you watch last week’s episode of Antique’s Roadshow?” But the question I’m asked the most would be, “What’s your MAC Foundation shade?” And I have no […]

Last year, we announced that Jaime King would be bringing her cool-girl style to ColourPop for a makeup collaboration, and we can now share a first look at the products. The range (called Alchemy) includes 12 pieces for eyes, lips, and cheeks - all under $30. Expect neutral shades with a pop of color (make sense) that can be used in three sets: Bare, Day Break, and Night.
"I wanted everyone to have something that would literally transform your shadows intoMAGIC; a whole different spectrum! With Alchemy, I wanted to create my dream collection that never existed before," Jaime said in a press release. "A perfectly edited collection of lipsticks, liners,shadows, blush, contour and highlighters that would be literally the only collection a person would need. It was vitally important that each color looked amazing on every race and color of skin. My mantra was that if it didn't look and make every person feel beautiful, it wasn't Alchemy."
While we haven't tested the range yet, we can tell that this is a wearable collection thanks to rosy lip colors, bronzy highlighters, and blendable contour sticks (skinny enough to do your nose). It all goes on sale on March 24 at colourpop.com, but you can see a sneak peek here.
We've seen Behati Prinsloo strut around in next to nothing for Victoria's Secret photo shoots, but we're pretty convinced that she could do just about anything, even walk around in a garbage bag, and still make it look undeniably sexy. The Namibia-born supermodel just oozes cool-girl vibes, and if you take a quick scroll through her Instagram page, you'll notice her seemingly effortless ability to turn any look into something we want to immediately imitate ourselves. Predictably, Behati's latest post is no different, showing off a unique-looking ponytail in a behind-the-scenes photo of herself before an interview on Conan that aired last night.
The image shows Prinsloo taking a selfie in a bathroom (assumably backstage) showing off her pretty pony in the mirror's reflection. Typically seen as just your run-of-the-mill gym hairstyle, ponytails aren't the easiest to vamp up. Nonetheless, Prinsloo obviously had no issues when it came to adding extra sex appeal to her exceptional pony. From the front, her hair almost seems to be completely loose, with soft waves framing her face, while the view of the back shows off loose ends collected at the base of her neck by a thick rope.
The look, created by celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, is fairly easy to replicate at home. "I waved Behati's hair with the GHD Flat Iron ($185) and filled it with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($44) and Elizabeth and James Dry Shampoo ($28)," explains Bryce. Then, he secured the hair loose and low on her back with a black cord as a hair elastic. "I made sure her face framing layers were left forward and relaxed to give a lot of shape around the face."
Although we've seen plenty of unbelievable ponytail options in the past, this might be one of our favorite breezy, spring-time ponys to date. It's simple yet seductive, and easily dressed up or down for any occasion.
How to get Victoria's Secret-level abs just like Behati's:

Tuesday night’s episode of "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" reignited the ongoing debate about the use of the word "nigger" on television.
The show’s sixth episode reenacted a scene from the actual murder trial, which included a courtroom cross-examination between Simpson’s former defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey (played by Nathan Lane) and former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman (played by Steven Pasquale). In the scene, and throughout the taped exchange, Bailey uses the racial slur six times in reference to Simpson -- and goes on to question Furhman on whether or not he has used the term at any time during the previous decade.
Reactions to the use of the controversial word on the show immediately spread on social media Tuesday night. However, despite the mixed responses, the show’s star Cuba Gooding Jr., who plays Simpson, says it’s “important” for actors to use the term on television.
"Absolutely I think it's important," Gooding told People.com. "Our job as artists is to reflect the ills of society sometimes and to find a truth in that, and I think you can't start the healing process until you recognize the truth and all of its ugly warts and all."
Gooding isn't the only distinguished black star to weigh in on the issue. Last year, actor Terrence Howard also shared his thoughts on the censorship of the term in regards to his hit show, "Empire."
“Why is TV showing something different from the reality of the world,” Howard previously told Entertainment Weekly. “Why is there a thing called censorship that stops people from hearing everyday talk? We use 'nigga' every day. It’s become part of a conversation -- why aren’t we using it in the show?”
"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" airs Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET on FX.

WASHINGTON -- So far in the Democratic primary, there's only one set of circumstances in which the party is producing strong voter turnout: When Bernie Sanders wins a state, tons of voters are showing up.
In Colorado, Kansas and Maine, Democrats have actually surpassed the turnout of the 2008 primary contests, while the caucuses in Minnesota and Nebraska only narrowly missed. Sanders won all five states. That's no small feat. Democrats were energized in 2008, eager to turn the page on the Bush years, and excited by two candidates whose election would have represented a breakthrough for millions of people.
But much of this primary season has been a different story. In every state that Hillary Clinton has won -- which is most states -- the party is seeing a significant decline in voter turnout from the 2008 election. Half as many Texas Democrats came out to vote this year than in 2008. In South Carolina, turnout was down by a third. Virginia? Down by one-fifth.
A lot of these states don't really matter -- Democrats aren't going to win Mississippi or Alabama, no matter how many people show up at the primary, and they aren't going to lose Vermont no matter how many people are feeling the Bern.
But low turnout should be at least somewhat worrying to party leaders, since Clinton will almost certainly be the eventual Democratic nominee. There aren't many independent voters anymore. People like to tell pollsters they're independent, but the voting patterns of these people are typically heavily partisan. The Democratic Party has a major demographic edge over Republicans -- if it can get the Obama coalition of black, Latino and Asian-American voters to show up at the polls. When they do, as in 2012, they win. When they don't, as in 2014, they lose.
The good news for Clinton is that low turnout at the primary stage doesn't mean a party will lose in the general election. As Nate Silver has noted, the party that secured the most primary votes has lost seven elections since 1972. But it's still a meaningful way to gauge the excitement among a party's base. Ask anyone at the Democratic National Committee whether they'd like to see good turnout numbers in the primary, and they'll tell you that, yes, of course they would.
Clinton has also been a national political figure for almost a quarter-century, and it's hard to get voters enthused about the status quo in a year in which Washington politics isn't very popular. Many Democrats cast their first vote for a woman president in 2008. The second one just isn't historic.
Still, a full 79 percent of Democrats say they would be satisfied with Clinton as the party's nominee. By contrast, only 49 percent of Republicans say the same of Donald Trump, who is likely to be the GOP standard-bearer in the fall. And if Trump becomes the nominee, his flagrantly racist campaign rhetoric will surely motivate large numbers of Democrats to come out to the polls if for no other reason than to vote against him.
Trump's hostility to minorities makes it hard to see him winning swing states like Nevada and Colorado that have large numbers of Latino voters. But he could win the presidency if he can flip the Rust Belt for Republicans. And Trump did, in fact, ride criticism of U.S. trade policy to a victory in Michigan on Tuesday night. Michigan, meanwhile, is one state in which a Sanders victory has not translated into great numbers for Democrats. While both Clinton and Sanders easily beat the state's 2008 turnout numbers for Clinton and Obama, Michigan's primary wasn't hotly contested that year -- the state was being punished by the DNC for violating its primary scheduling rules. And on Tuesday, Republican turnout in Michigan eclipsed the Democratic total by 10 percent.

March 13th is Daylight Savings, so what better time to shed some light on sleep? Like many people, I've been suffering from troubled sleep for about as long as I can remember.
