Why We Love Her: From Cosmo to People, Univision to Latina, she's no novice to wide world of beauty, fashion and entertainment. Her blog lets you in on how exactly to steal celebrity looks, like Emmy Rossum's errand-running dress or Jennifer Lopez's flamboyant (but so cute!) romper. She has a knack for combining both high-end and low-end labels when pairing outfits and her mommy and me fashion shoots seriously make us gush.

GG Renee
Blog: All The Many Layers
Why We Love Her: Who doesn't love a blogger with her own stage name? Women have layers, and GG attempts to positively impact all the things related to helping them do it all -- be it land a successful career, muster up the courage to ask him out, cut off all your hair or stand out amongst a sea of "regulars." She's all about encouraging women to be beautiful in their own way, and if being brutally honest helps them get there, then so be it.
Sometimes, we beauty junkies can't help it. To get inspiration (or a time-consuming Friday distraction) we turn to bloggers for the coolest, most unique beauty ideas.
And we're not the only ones. Top beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers now make up a large percentage of "It" girls and industry influencers (and are even scoring front-row seats at NYFW). What makes them so compelling? Aside from exploring new niche categories and demographics -- offering advice to the curly-haired, Latin-inspired, curvy-sized and even long-hair-obsessed -- these bloggers get us talking.
They're relatable, and rather than giving us general tips on how to create ponytails, they share personal stories like their boyfriends' reactions to chopping off all their hair. It's these African-American and Latina bloggers' unique point of view that's so captivating, making it possible to lose an afternoon diving into their content. And since, well, it is about beauty, it's not procrastination -- it's research. After all, how else are we going to learn to do the fiercest orange lip or a mean cut crease eyeshadow?
We searched high and low to see who's on top in the world of online beauty blogging. What we found: Only the most informative, unique and insanely talented influencers with a love for sharing their fashion and beauty savvy. Whether it's tutorials on the latest natural hairstyles or uber-glam makeup looks for a GNO, these African-American and Latina bloggers are here to help.
