God I just love Janelle Monáe. Looking at her just makes you beam. Love love love her.

Bravo to CoverGirl for their great choice of models. Gorgeous Janelle has joined a roster that includes Pink, Queen Latifah and Ellen DeGeneres. Women who radiate confidence and self-esteem, who are not wearing makeup to hide their “flaws” but as part of looking and feeling great. A company putting its money where its mouth is – few and far between.  I can’t think of a single UK cosmetics company that does the same. Is there one?
