What people are talking about today: CVS is getting body-positive: The drugstore giant says it's cracking down on photo-shopping of beauty imagery it uses in stores, online and in marketing materadd ials. It created a heart-shaped insignia – which it calls "CVS Beauty Mark" that it will stamp on images that have not been significantly altered. The goal is to have its own brand's beauty images free of touch-ups by April 2019, it's putting pressure on its suppliers to join in, as USA Today reports.

The “boring” bit has often been picked on by critics, the “relevance” sometimes missed. “People want to call it fashion when there’s a story to tell but I’m not telling any story,” said Touitou at a party celebratin...
Beyonce, 36, can do no wrong! We love this woman with a passion!

She didn’t walk the red carpet, but sat front row alongside her husband and her daughter Blue Ivy during the show. She wore a black dress that was super sexy. It had not one but TWO thigh-high slits! She also wore sunglasses and a hat at the show, because she is Beyonce, and she can do whatever she wants. Her beauty look was amazing. Her stunning makeup was thanks to her artist Sir John. We loved her purple lipstick! Her hair was pulled back, in braids. Beyonce and Jay have been killing it all weekend at pre-Grammys parties. We love their love! Last year, a pregnant Beyonce performed at the Grammys, singing “Sandcastles and “Love Drought.” She appeared on stage in a gold outfit, with a crown, looking like the Queen that she is, while clu...
