"I want to make the extraordinary, ordinary."
-Jay Z

Leave it to Jay Z to launch a fabulous lifestyle blog and barely take credit for it. "Life + Times" launched this week and Hov has barely publicized it or admitted to it even being his. No launch party or even a press release... And you know what? It's not necessary... He doesn't have to promote it. He's Hov and that's all there is to it. People will seek him out and find it. And they will be thoroughly impressed...It's already one of my favorite sites. He never fails to impress me... Former street hustler to rapper, business man, entrepreneur, author, nightclub owner, all around mogul and now...blogger. can you say renaissance man?!

"I live by a man's code, designed to fit a man's world, yet at the same time I never forget that a woman's first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick."
-Carole Lombard

Ok ladies, how many times have you ordered a lipstick online only to receive it and find out it looks NOTHING like the color swatch the website provided. I literally stopped purchasing cosmetics online because of too many "lipgloss and letdown" incidents. Or have you ever seen a promo photo of a new collection...wait anxiously for the launch...get to the counter and find out that phenomenal shade barely shows up on your lips? MAC is famous for that...sorry, but it's true.

Websites like Temptalia have made it somewhat easier with their "color wiped on hand" swatch photos, actually I have relied on Temptalia alot for getting an idea of what a color will look like in person. The only problem with that is wrist/arm skin is not lip skin. Meaning, the color is still going to look different that it appears. So what's a girl to do? Glad you asked...

BeautySwatch.com might be the BEST site I have found this year and will definitely go into my list of all-time favorite cosmetic websites. Basically, it is a "Lipstick Library". Filled with pictures, clear pictures, of lipstick on actual LIPS. The site is a lipstick nirvana. Lipsticks are broken down into categories/shades. They also have great posts like "The 5 Universally Flattering Shades" and "Lip Interviews" with beauty bloggers who provide the photos. Trust me...you need this site before you purchase any lipstick!! And if you want to add to their library you can upload swatches of lipstick and nail polish also.
