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!  

Be sure to watch my video and see these products in action.

Canary Velvet

                     

Jacket: H&M

Dress: Zara

Shoes: Converse

Choker: Forever 21

                     

                     

When I found this dress on sale on Zara's website, I added it to my cart as fast as I could! This dress was so affordable, that I decided to purchase another one! (In a different style of course) I only paid $7.99 for this dress, yes you read that correctly, $7.99! If you've ever shopped in a Zara store or online, you know that they can be quite expensive, but they sell pieces that you can wear for years.

I love the way this dress fits, because it's not too tight and it's not too oversized. I also love the brightness of this dress! It's an absolute closet staple. This piece is also very versatile, in that you can dress it up or down. Here you can see that I've gone for the more casual look with my converse sneakers, but if I wanted to dress this up a bit, I'd throw on some heels, add a silver necklace, and ditch the jacket (it's springtime).

What springtime trends are you rocking this year?

The Balm: Mary-Lou Manizer

If you're addicted to YouTube and makeup like I am, then you already know about The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer! I have been hearing about this product and watching tutorials with this product in it for years. I have contemplated buying this highlighter so many times,but I always put it off. I finally decided to purchase it after seeing it on Hautelook 3 times. The great thing about Hautelook is that all the items you find on this app and online are discounted, so instead of paying $24 for Mary-Lou, I only paid $12. 50% off? Yes please! 

 I currently have been loving my Morphe M510 to apply highlighters, because it provides a well blended application, and I love the amount of product it picks up.

As you can see, this product is beautiful, and it looks great on dark skin. I cant wait to use this in upcoming makeup tutorials!

Social Media Numbers | What's the Importance?

"Social media Likes" seem to control today's generation. What I've noticed is girls doing any and everything to have thousands of followers on Instagram. The same thing goes for likes. I believe that this generation cares more about what their followers think of them, rather than their own happiness. 

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being influential on social media and gaining a large following. This is something I definitely want for myself. However, I do not think it's okay to make this the center of your universe and compromise who you are to be an Instagram celebrity.

It has even gotten to the point where there are special accounts made to increase one's follow count. My question is, why is it so important to have a plethora of followers on social media? I used to want to have all of these followers as well, but I sat back and wondered, what's the importance? 

We see celebrities, like the Kardashians, and IG models getting paid to post themselves using different products. A lot of the time they are posing in a risque fashion, wearing less than enough clothing to get their followers to purchase these products that may not even work! 

At the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with having a large following, or getting paid for sponsored posts. But, if these posts seem to put you in a compromising situation, sit back and figure out if that is really what you want to do. Why not post positive things that help others and become influencing in that way.
