One of the hottest and most revolutionary products on the market is by a new cosmetics company called Glamourous Chicks Cosmetics. I recently went to their product launch and boy was I impressed!

The one product that really stood out to me was their line of beautiful mineral pigments. Not only can you use them on your eyes but the pigments can also be used six different ways - eye shadow, lip gloss, mascara, nail polish, eye liner, blush or bronzer. What a value!

The pigments come in over 30 colors, so you'll be sure to find the right shade to create your own glamorous look. I had a chance to chat with Glamourous Chicks Cosmetics' CEO, Shana Joseph, to find out more about the line.

What made you decide to start Glamourous Chicks Cosmetics?

I realized it was time to pursue my true passion. The beauty industry always interested me, so I researched and acquired a makeup business which I operated for awhile. I then realized that I was selling someone else's product, marketing someone else's brand -- and even worse -- putting money in someone else's pockets. So I decided to fully empower myself by creating my own company and investing in my own products. From this inspiration, Glamourous Chicks was born!

Your pigments can be used in so many different ways. Did you formulate them this way or did you discover the versatility afterward?

We formulated our products to be versatile because this is definitely the age of the smart and conscious consumer. With everyone watching their pockets, it is important to offer consumers more bang for their bucks. That is exactly what our eye shadow offers. Amazingly, our shadows can be used in at least six different ways: wet or dry, as nail polish, blush, bronzer, eye liner, mascara or lip gloss. The product has great staying power and the pigments are fabulous. We also have an amazing skin care line which includes moisturizers, toners, makeup remover, cleanser and makeup primer, to name a few. Our products are made of mineral and 100% natural, so they are perfect for all skin types and very gentle on your skin. Our products are great additions to the makeup bags of women who love to look fantastic and take excellent care of their face.

Powerhouse singer Jennifer Hudson is gracing the cover of this month's issue of InStyle magazine and looking better than ever in her newly slim body. The Oscar-winning actress admits that fans aren't the only ones having a problem recognizing her new and improved look. "Once in awhile I see a picture of myself and I'm like 'Wow! This is what I look like?"

After the birth of her son, David Otunga Jr., last August, the 'DreamGirls' star found herself 35 pounds heavier. "I was like, 'Who? ... Oh, my God, this is me,' said Hudson after seeing pictures of herself post-pregnancy.

The first lady was spotted during the Fourth of July weekend with bright blue toes peeking out of her flats. A couple of weeks ago, she was shaking hands with military families at Camp Pendleton, north of San Diego, when she stopped to compliment the hands of a young fan wearing blue polish. "I know the name of that fingernail polish!" Mrs. Obama said to the 8-year-old.

It isn't just blues that the first lady is enamored with. On her vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine, she showed off her bright green pedicure. Obama has shown us that you do not have to sacrifice edgy nails colors because you're a certain age or your husband is, ahem, the president.
Here are a few colors that we think presidential and non-presidential toes alike would look good wearing.
