Rapper Saweetie talks her love of skincare and why confidence is the key to true beauty
Saweetie is a Grammy-nominated rapper with platinum-selling, chart-topping hits, but her signature look-three-inch acrylic nails, artistically crafted baby hairs and over-the-top lashes - inspires nearly as much online chatter as her music. The comments don't rule her.
"I see people on [social media] not liking my lashes. I love me some thick lashes, and I'm never going to change that," Saweetie tells Us.
The 30-year-old California native, born Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper, gets that confidence from her mother, Trinidad Valentin, a video vixen of the early 2000s (she famously appeared in Nelly's 2001 "Ride Wit Me" music video) who stressed the importance of skincare and beauty that comes from the inside out.

How Therapy Saved His Life
After the MLB suspended Alex Rodriguez in 2013 for using performance-enhancing drugs, he decided to give therapy a try. “Twenty-five years ago, when I first started my career, it was a big no-no in the locker room, but I think today... it’s actually celebrated,” the former New York Yankees shortstop and third baseman, 50, told Us at the Nov. 3 premiere of his HBO docu-series, Alex vs ARod. Looking back, Rodriguez believes therapy made him not only a better baseball player but also a better father and friend. Rodriguez’s involvement in the league’s infamous Biogenesis scandal kept him off the field for the entire 2014 season. He went on to play two more years with the Yankees before retiring and going into sports broadcasting, but that's not to say he’s stopped keeping up with his old team. Rodriguez tells Us he believes the Bronx Bombers still have “potential” despite not having won a World Series since 2009.
