Xtina becomes the face of Lush Cosmetics

This morning, it was reportedly confirmed that Christina Aguilera will indeed be the face of Lush cosmetics which is a cosmetics retailer situated in the UK. This is Christina's only partnership with a brand where she is the sole representative of said brand. She has already expressed her love for Lush on Twitter before: "So so fruity. This stuff just makes my skin glow! I would recommend wholeheartedly". The business move is a great one for all accounts because, even though Lush cosmetics does have a pretty sizeable cult following (if you will) across the world and on a social media basis, it's still not as well known as other high-end brands as Lush aims to raise their profile exponentially. Lush apparently signed Christina on for a three year contract which is said to last depending on how well it goes when the actual campaign takes off in a few months from now. It was said to be mutual gathering although Lush did approach and reach out to Christina and her management team first and foremost. According to sources close to Lush, it's been said that Christina simply can't wait to promote her favourite cosmetics brand and is proud to have her face featured and used to endorse such great products as the ones that Lush churn out on the daily. In addition, it's also already agreed upon that Christina will introduce the fresh new line that Lush has been working on since last year in order to fully release it in 2015. That would kill two birds with one stone and, hopefully, launch the new line products well and give Lush some leverage to figure out what step to take next once the public respond to their products.

Lush cosmetics has actually only been a thing since 1994 when it was founded in Poole, Dorset which is a place in the United Kingdom. The company was founded by Mo Constantine and Mark Constantine who is in fact a herbal trichologist. There are now over 800 stories in approximately 51 countries across the globe which is great news for the Constantines since Lush was practically and relatively unknown until about a few years ago. Lush cosmetics is privately owned and, therefore, isn't obliged to follow anything except what is agreed upon in their very own guidelines which they put in place themselves. In typical Lush fashion, their products are usually made from active eco-friendly ingredients due to them being a 100% natural brand. This is fitting for Christina Aguilera since the environment in something she especially feels passionate about. Their products often contain honey, fruits and vegetables, essential oils, extracts amongst many others.

The commercial for Lush's 2015 takeover is currently being filmed with Christina Aguilera at the forefront. In the commercial, Lush's new line of products will more than likely be featured as they prepare for their debut weeks from now. The commercial is set to coincide with another release under Aguilera's belt although billboards everywhere will accommodate Lush's campaign throughout the rest of this week and beyond.

Cher performs at Britain’s Got Talent

Today, Cher continued her long promo week by stopping at itv studios to be the guest singer on britain’s got talent, this shows that she is really talented if she was picked to be the guest performer on the show, it is a huge deal for Cher, because she always wanted to be known for her talent of singing, and finally it came true so Cher is really happy about that, she performed dirty night, her first single taken from her surprise released album “forbidden story” Cher has once been on this show, and finally she got asked again, which proves that people still think that she is talented, and that she still is an important musician in UK. Cher was introduced and she started her performance.

Performance was very spectacular it was full of details, and was like, we could even say tasty, everything that was included in it from clothes to props to choreo to vocals were on point and amazing. Cher was wearing a long white dress, and for this time sang a stripped back version of the song, her dress looked beautiful and it shined in the spotlight, Cher looked like a true diva. Her hair were combed in a beautiful way, and actually were so long, she was standing and serving amazing vocals, and the stripped version of the song sounded so nice, such a sweet performance to be honest. No one could have expected something like this from Cher, she just gave her all and showed the world that she is a gifted vocalist and all those rumors about her being a lipsyncer, were just a lie from jealous people.

After the performance Cher was asked a few questions by the host. H: Great to see you here again Cher, been a long time, you looked great. C: Thanks you too, oh yeah I was gone for so long I had a lot of going on, Simon knows I guess he is sitting there, (chuckles) so yeah, it’s been crazy, but I’m great that I am back here again. H: Good, Simon what happened. S: A lot of happened, I am just glad that Cher is back again, and working her best on improving she has improved loads since here x-factor days and it’s just great to see, and we don’t need LA right Cher. C: Yes, we good with new label. The night ended, Cher went backstage loads of fans were waiting with gifts, flowers and more, Cher felt great talked with all of them, laughed, ate, smiled, took photos, and just was there for the fans like a friend, she is always so precious and kind, that’s a star we love, it’s great that she cared about her fans so much, it’s just lovely to see. She talked a bit more, but it was time for her to go, she waved goodbye to fans, she went outside there were more fans, and loads of paparazzi’s Cher said hello to fans, signed few autographs, and left.

Justin Bieber - Spotify Sessions (Justin: The Performances & More - Part 1)

Justin Bieber and Spotify, one of the top outlets for music in the present world teamed up. Justin performed a set of songs over at the Spotify Headquarters, and the performance of them was released on Spotify as "Justin: The Performances & More - Part 1". Justin performed about a dozen of the songs included from his new hit compilation "The Collection & More". The performance was overall a mix of acoustic and was piano based. Justin described the set as "down to earth, and really suddle and fun".

Setlist:
1. Grand Scheme
2. Fast Times
3. Memphis
4. My Everything
5. So Much for You
6. Lift Me Up
7. Turn Me Down
8. Just Between Us
9. Too Good to Lose
10. Don't Tell 'Em (Cover by Jeremih)
11. Favorite Kind of Trouble
12. Cassanova

The performance is near an hour long and total, and some fans who won a Spotify competition got to see him perform the set live. It was performed in a room and was personal and exclusive. Justin started out with introducing and saying, "This is a Spotify exclusive -- Justin: The Performances & More -- Part 1. I'm performing songs apart of my new compilation currently in stores and on Spotify "The Colllection & More". Justin then began with "Grand Scheme", one of the newest tracks to the compilation in which he'd only performed live twice previously. This was his first time giving it a "stripped" like performance including a piano & more acoustic tone. The reception was well with the opener, and only continued as he did hits such as "Fast Times" and new single "Memphis". Both hit mid-tempos and some of Justin's most acclaimed tracks to date. The performance continued with 2 tracks, "My Everything" and "So Much for You" from respective albums The Complete Dream + Crossing Paths. He also next performed a mash up and little mix of "Lift Me Up" & "Turn Me Down" -- 2 tracks which originally feature Britney Spears & Jay-Z, included on the album Crossing Paths. He performed the two tracks in a medley like manner, and they were apparently the highlight performances of the set list according to MTV who published an article on the new Spotify available performances. Justin continued the more intimate and personal performances by doing solo versions of two promiment collaborations "Too Good to Lose" and "Just Between Us". Both newer collaborations exploiting Justin's R&B side moreso than ever. Both of the performances were 100% acoustic and raw, also named some of the best performances of the set -- favored by his fans most. Next Justin sang a cover of a Jeremih hit titled "Don't Tell 'Em", he recently told MTV the song was one his favorites of the past year and it was on constant play and that he'd love to cover the song in one of his many upcoming performances he had planned. After Justin performed "Favorite Kind of Trouble" a duet with Eric Saade, which Justin usually pays dust to for some reason (as does Eric Saade). Justin said he'd got into the song all over again recently, and he finally ended up closing the special performance with his debut single "Cassanova", one of his sleeper hits to date. Overall Yahoo! rated the Spotify Special a 4 out of 5 stars.
