Fenty Beauty

As many of you know, Rihanna launched her new beauty range on September 8th. Fenty Beauty has taken over the beauty community! I can't tell you how many reviews I've watched on YouTube. I think it's safe to say that everyone was super excited about this launch, especially with the astonishing 40 shades she released. 40 shades in her first launch?! That's unheard of! Rihanna expressed that her inpiration for this collection was that she has friends that are of many different shades and tones, and it's hurtful to not be included, because every girl deserves to feel beautiful. I couldn't have said it better myself!     
                               

Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation- 410

Match Stix Matte Skinstick- Latte

Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter- Trophy Wife

Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer- Fenty Glow

I decided to go with the shade 410 in foundation, because Jackie Aina mixed shades 410 and 420 together to get her perfect shade. I definitely don't have the money to buy two shades of this foundation, and 410 was the only shade Sephora in Mall of Georgia had left, so 410 it was! 

I found this product to be extremely flawless and matte, which I love, because I somehow end up looking like a grease ball at the end of the day when I use dewy foundations. This foundation also dries very quickly, so you have to work fast when blending. I recommend using a beauty sponge when blending this foundation in, so you maximize the coverage. You'll also want to pick a shade that appears a shade lighter than your skintone, because it oxidizes. 

                                             

I decided to only pick up one of the Match Stix for hightlighting. I prefer to contour with powder and I  bought the Killawatt highlighter, so there was no need for me to purchase the Match Stix Trio. The formula of the Match Stix is very unique to me. It's creamy but matte at the same time. If  you have dry skin, you may not like this product, because it's on the drier side. Paired with the Pro Filt'r foundation, this product makes your skin look flawless, but not weighed down.

           

The Killawatt highlighter has to be the crowd favorite. It literally looks like crushed gold! This highlighter is very glittery, which is definitely out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't say that this is an everyday highlighter, but put this on for a night out, and you'll be glowing in the dark!     

Lastly, the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer is just your basic lipgloss. What's special about this product is definitely the packaging. The bottle that the gloss comes in has a lot more girth than most lip gloss bottles, so you're essentially getting more product. The doe foot applicator is also quite large, making it easier to apply the gloss with one swipe.

Overall, I really love this collection. The products work beautifully together, giving any woman a flawless finish. These products are also buildable, so you have the option to rock a sheer,  natural  look, or a dramatic, yet comfortable beat. If you haven't tried any of these products and you're on the fence about purchasing them, I say they're worth the purchase. Rihanna put a lot of time and effort into this line, and I have to say that I feel red carpet ready when wearing the range!

My Christmas List 2015

I can't believe that it's almost Christmas time already. It seems like just yesterday when we brought in the new year (2015). I always look forward to the holidays, because I love being around my family and I love the music and decorations. I'm 23 now, and Christmas has shifted to being more for the children in the family, which is no problem at all, because I never ask for too much. This year, however, I have had my eye on a few things that I would love to have in my closet and on my body! Here are the items I have been lusting over!

Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is quickly approaching, and I can't wait to be 23 this year! It seems like time is passing by so fast, because I feel like I was in high school yesterday! As I get older, I realize that I want less and less for my birthday, and sometimes I would just prefer to have a money or just spend time with friends. This year is no different, however there are some items that I've had my eye on for some time now, and I wouldn't mind receiving these any one of these things on my special day.

I have currently been obsessed with ankle boots, no matter the style. Since we are in fall/ autumn, I've been noticing all of my favorite bloggers and vloggers rocking their ankle boots, and I'm feeling super inspired. I feel that ankle boots transform any outfit and they look good with everything! These burgundy boots above (from H&M) are a platform style with elasticized side panels and chunky rubber soles. I'm in love with these because the color is so rich and they are definitely a statement piece. The next pair of boots are a sight for sore eyes! Just look at these beauties! They are a leather and metal heeled boot, and the golden metallic piece on the heel is to die for (not really)!! These shoes, however, are extremely expensive, but a girl can dream can't she!?

I've wanted a bomber jacket for some years now, but I can't seem to find one that I am willing to pay for. Like this Topshop bomber jacket here. It's the perfect style and everything I'm looking for, but it costs $105! I still haven't given up hope on finding this jacket at a reasonable price, but I have concluded that I need to be willing to spend a little bit more on this item if I really want it. 

This face primer has been all over the beauty blogosphere, and I've heard nothing but great things about it. This primer is for oily skin in that it helps to mattify your skin and keep your makeup in place all day! This product retails for $36 for the full size, which is quite expensive, so I plan on purchasing the trial size for $16.

This Juicy Couture perfume is my absolute favorite! I normally always have a bottle of this around, but I ran out of it and haven't repurchased it, so why not get it for my birthday! I consider this to be my signature scent, because it mixes so well with my body chemistry! 

I have been a follower of Beautycrush, now known as Samantha Maria, on YouTube and in the blogging world. She is a breath of fresh air with her bubbly personality, and her style is so inspirational to me. It only seems right that she has her own clothing line after all the hard work she's put in over the years, and being a supporter of hers, I feel that it's only right to purchase a piece from her collection. Her clothing line is called Novem & Knight, and this had is something I've had my eye on for a long time! Birthday gift to myself!
