The time has finally come! Jennifer Lopez is releasing a skincare line! JLo Beauty, an eight-piece skincare collection, launches on January 1 and includes a cream cleanser, multitasking serum, “wonder cream,” sunscreen, eye cream, masks, complexion booster and a dietary supplement. “The number one thing that people ask me about, more than movies or music or anything, is my skin. It’s always been on my mind, and it’s taken 20 years to realize this dream,” said Jennifer.
Elle and Allure have sneak peeks of the products.
Jennifer told GMA:
“When we were doing the photo shoot for it and the video and the campaign, it was really important because you want to include everybody. Diversity is very important to me. Obviously, empowering women is very important to me and inspiring. That’s a big part of, I always say, ‘People ask me what do I do for a living… I entertain, I want to inspire, and I want to empower women and minorities to understand their true worth and their value to be able to contribute to the world in the best way that they can and that we know we’re capable of. For me, it’s super important in our ads. You’ll see a wide range of ages and colors and races. And that, to me, is super exciting and important and was one of the things that we’ve made a point to do, that I made a point to do.”
The full collection will be available at JLoBeauty.com starting January 1 and at Sephora and Amazon on January 14. Visit now to sign up for email and text alerts and get access to exclusive product releases on December 8!
Jennifer Lopez has premiered a new song called “In The Morning”! Listen above and add it to your streaming playlists.
Jennifer went live just before midnight last night to premiere the song and connect with fans:
Jennifer appears on her vocal coach, Stevie Mackey’s new Christmas album. She joined Stevie for a duet of “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year.” Stevie shared the following with American Songwriter:
“I asked her to be on my album because everyone on it has a special significance and she was like, ‘Of course, baby!’ I had another song in mind but one of the things I’ve noticed about her is she knows how to create a moment. She knows how to put so much personality into it. She was supposed to be on “Let It Snow” but she said “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” sounds like a Christmas party! We throw Taco Tuesday Christmas parties every year and it reminded her of that. For this one, she actually vocal produced me for the first time! That’s my girl…. I care so much for her.”
On Sunday, Jennifer Lopez picked up The People’s Icon Award at the E! People’s Choice Awards! She was presented with the honor by Armie Hammer, her co-star in the upcoming movie, Shotgun Wedding.
Before her acceptance speech, Jennifer was surprised with video messages from Renee Zellweger, Nicole Kidman and her kids, Emme and Max! I loved Jennifer’s speech and thought it was very moving. Watch below:
Man, 2020 was no joke right? I mean before 2020 we were obsessing about winning this award or getting nominated for that award or we were caught up in who sold the most records or box office opening or crazy stuff like did we get the latest drop before anybody else. But not this year. This year was the great leveler.
It showed us what mattered, what didn’t. And for me, reinforced what mattered most: People, all of us, together. Helping each other, loving each other, being kind to each other. And the importance of that connection, that human touch. I realized that’s what I strive for in everything I do. To reach people, to touch people. I believe that’s what we all want, those shared experiences to know that we’re not in this alone. Your belief and your faith in me motivates me to keep going and sometimes when I’m tired or beaten down, like a lot of us have been this year, it’s my family, friends, my babies and my fans, you guys, who have lifted me up when I couldn’t lift myself. I am so grateful to have you, to have that in my life.
You know I approach my career the same way I approach my life. I lead with life, I feel with my heart and I always try to speak truth in telling stories, singing songs. I do so with the purpose of bringing a little happiness, creating beauty and inspiring others to do the same. From being a little girl in the Bronx, New York, and having the privilege of performing on some of the biggest stages in the world, and even at the Super Bowl earlier this year, that was a biggie! I have seen and learned a lot and I am still learning. I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you for letting me do that in front of you for all of these years.
As a Latina and as a woman, we have to work twice as hard to get the opportunities, sometimes my big dreams and my ambitions, it made the people around me nervous. ‘You can’t be an actress. You’re an actress, what you want to sing? You’re an artist, you won’t be taken seriously as a businesswoman.’ The more that they said I couldn’t, the more I knew that I had to. So now here I stand so very grateful knowing that the true measure of my success is not in box office numbers or records sold, but from the love that I feel from all of you.
The true measure is inspiring girls in all ages and all colors, from all over the world, to know you can do whatever want, as many things as you want and to be proud of who you are no matter where you come from. I want them to know your dreams are limited only by your imagination, determination and their willingness to never give up. If I have touched you or them in any small way, then this is the greatest award I could ever receive. I accept this award with great humility and gratitude, and hope we can begin to heal as a country and stand together united and proud, and in harmony.
(Spanish translation) And to my Latin people, wherever I am and no matter where I go, I always have you in my heart. It is a true honor to represent Latinos everywhere, with all my heart and all my love. Thank you. I love you very much. And remember, life is a tango and you have to keep dancing, always.
Thank you so much, I love you guys so much. Thank you for this.
