YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection-Kravitz is Entering the Beauty Industry!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 5, 2019August 5, 2019

There is soooo much new beauty on the way it is making our makeup bags zipper refuse to close! With Rihanna releasing a new hydrating foundation, Milk Makeup giving us a flexing foundation stick; AND Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation hitting the scene; makeup lovers are definitely living their best life! But hold up, wait a minute, Isabella is about to step up in it! Yes, loves Zoe Kravitz is about to drop the spanking new YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection in just a few weeks.

How our girl held this secret this entire time, we do not know. However, the secret is officially out the garden and we are only too glad to help spread it. In a VERY short (and we do mean short) video; Zoe teased fans with the collection.

The video did not reveal any products (for maybe the exception of one; read on to find out). So exact products to be expected is still unfortunately mainly up in the air. HOWEVER, the visuals did show Kravitz in a lab “cooking up” some newness.

Therefore, while there is no real product item reveals; there is a firm confirmation that the collection is not a figment of beauty imagination. It is happening and coins need to be spared and ready.

YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection-Kravitz is Entering the Beauty Industry

This match up between the luxury brand and Zoe Kravitz comes as no surprise. For quite some time the Big Little Lies actress and singer has been the face of the label. Appearing in numerous ad campaigns as well as on and in magazines wearing various YSL designs. Even for the Met Gala’s yearly soirée; arguably fashion’s biggest night; Kravitz has donned a Saint Laurent design.

Therefore, this is a pairing that certainly works well together. Moreover, it is exciting to see what exactly is on the way from this collaborative effort. For one thing we are definitely thinking red.

Why? Going back to the promo video; Zoe is busily mixing up pots of red color formulations. ALSO, check out and zero in on her lips. BOOM! Decadent, red, in-your-face, better have my money lip color! Lol.

Or if you just look to the bottom right of the video. Yes, do it! lol. You will see a couple of rouge tone lipsticks just hanging out.

As of now, that is the only real indicator of possible makeup products. However, it is still enough to easily place us in a makeup frenzy. Therefore, fellow makeup addicts; be on the lookout for the YSL and Zoe Kravitz collection drop on September 1st.

How to Operate Anthénea

Do not be intimidated. This pod can be piloted by anyone in any environment. Moreover, Anthénea adapts to a wide temperature range: -30°C to +40°C; and the aerodynamic design blends perfectly into any natural environment.

Fresh Crop App- Quincy Takes Photos Next Level!

Arianne Suggs July 30, 2019July 30, 2019

When it comes to standing out on Instagram; everyone who is anyone knows you have to bring the freshest, livest and most original content to the table! Gone are the days of the same old, same old; only the cutting-edge visionaries shall survive this digital natural selection. Enter actor and model, Quincy; whose new tech release the Fresh Crop App, is bringing photo taking, stitching and cropping to brand new heights!

Fresh Crop App- Quincy Takes Photos Next Level

Uhm… sorry… RIP picstitch. Back in the Insta day circa 2012-2013 you couldn’t tell a SOUL that their picstitch wasn’t hot. However, as photos went to new “magazine editorial” levels; this form of post easily became obsolete.

Till this day, to bring in the likes your pic has to be BETTER than your post before it. Additionally, if you run a company looking for new fascinating methods to keep eyeballs on; as well as flocking to your page is becoming more and more important in this social media age.

Therefore, Fresh Crop comes into the picture (excuse the pun lol ) at just the right moment. It gives users the ability to create a multi-photo “slide” without having to actually perform some weird crop; that actually takes AWAY from the integrity of your masterpiece.

For instance, ever had a wide angle shot that you wanted to post but Instagram’s picture parameters didn’t allow it? Most likely, you had to unfortunately “Crop” or resize the original photograph just to be able to post it. This dilemma could lead to having a friend or two cropped or cut-out of the picture completely. Or deciding which part of the picture or its scenery you liked most and just showing that part.

Well, our fellow picture takers, those days are long gone! And you don’t even need to know photoshop to fix it. All you need is cousin Quincy’s new Fresh Crop App and your problems are solved! Let us tell you how easy it is to use it.

How to Use Fresh Crop

Just a few steps and you are finished. Fresh Crop is available for both iOS and Android devices. Simply go to your device’s App Store and download it. We found that Fresh App pops up quite easily; so then you shouldn’t have too hard of a time searching for it. In both stores it was never lower than the 2nd-4th option.

Once downloaded you will have to give a few permissions in order to utilize the app. Nothing out the norm. The usual. The app requires access to your photo library as well as camera.

Depending on what you feel comfortable with, you can select which option Fresh App will be allowed to use. In order to get the full experience and usability of the app; access will have to be allowed to your camera and library.

How to Use It -Continued

Once you’re done opening the gateways to your library and camera the fun can begin! You are now ready to create some magic. Select the combination and size you are after.

For example, how big or small do you want your cropped pic to be? Do you want it square size (smaller); or photo size (larger)?

After you have made that decision then select how many slides you would like your photograph to be spread across. One, two or even three slides. Once selected grab a pic from your library; or take one with your camera then size it up in the rectangular box.

Got it how you want it? Perfect! Then hit the arrow in the upper left corner and let the Photo Fresh app work it’s skills!

Now It’s Time to Shine!

In just a few seconds you will have a cool “cropped” photo to post. If you like it, all you have to do next is click save. Nevertheless, if you’re not feeling your creation; just hold the photo down with your finger and drag to the little trash can icon. Once you start dragging you will see the “cartoon” trash can pop up.

However, once a photo is posted; to see the whole thing, all people have to do is slide the photo over like they are flipping to the next photo in an album. The difference is there will be no breaks. It will only look like one big, continuous photo. Sick!

Now if you have been seeing people posting these types of photos for months (we know we certainly have); now you can get in on all the fun and action too. With Quincy’s amazing app the process is easy, quick and for the less techy (Thank G lol) painless.

Fresh Crop and The Beautiful of Tech

Quincy’s move into the tech realm is an exciting one. Since the industry is still mainly composed of people not of color. Furthermore, we are not saying that any one who is not black needs to be pushed aside; but that there is definitely room in the market for black innovators to let their light shine as well!

All races have so much to offer this world. And it is always SO wonderful to see a plethora of people from all backgrounds making tech and other industries more efficient.

Therefore, to the Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ray J’s and Quincy’s still left to be discovered out there. DO NOT GIVE UP! You can do it, you can make it, and succeed! We are all rooting for your genius and can’t wait to use your product of tomorrow. Congratulations Quincy!

Clean Beauty Brands -An Ultimate List to Get You Started!

Arianne Suggs July 25, 2019July 25, 2019

Did you know? Forget the dark web; there are beauty brands out there with QUITE the dark side! Such as lead in lipstick as well as TOXIC heavy metals such as mercury in skin creams. No lie. An FDA investigation found that some skin creams contained toxic levels of mercury in them. Showing just how important clean beauty brands are!

It is estimated that on average a woman may use 12 personal care products every day; thus exposing herself to 12 or more chemicals. That’s not even the worst part. Those very chemicals in your products oftentimes are absorbed into your body!

Therefore, if you are using a product with toxic ingredients. Every day your body is taking in those very toxins. So then, you can only imagine what type of problems that can eventually lead to for down the road. BEYOND scary.

As a result, it is time to start thinking about cleaning out all of those “bad” products and replacing them with items that ONLY use ingredients that will not leave you worst off. Since you should not be punished just because you wish to beautify yourself.

Furthermore, for this reason we decided to help you guys out by providing you with a list of awesome clean beauty brands. From makeup to skincare the following lists will help you in your journey of ridding your makeup bags; and beauty routines of harmful products!

Keep in mind though that the range on some clean beauty labels is not that large. However, many are continuing to expand and other more tones; to fit more people, as they gain more popularity.

Our BEAUTY Editor, Alicia Suggs, states, “I am actually still shocked by how many darker colors and shades there are available for women of color. Since making the switch to using nothing but clean beauty products; I will admit I was scared of not being able to be matched properly.

But let me tell you, DO NOT BE SCARED. I have also tested and gone through most clean makeup brands and there is a lot of selection available. I personally found my perfect foundation match with a brand called, Vapour. So I highly recommend.”

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly

Arianne Suggs July 23, 2019July 23, 2019

With all of our fashion might we want to believe this was done with good intentions. Nevertheless, the internet was met with displeasure today as news spread that Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to its customers; INCLUDING those who ordered plus size clothing. Yikes.

Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly

Now being that it is summer and this brand is geared towards teens and the 20s set. Many of us probably are obsessing about how we currently look in our bikinis and IG photos. So then, Forever 21 may have felt like they were doing all of their consumer base a favor by sending out a mass supply of “healthy” conscious bars.

However, let’s get real. We are living in a world where a sneeze is enough to offend someone. Much less a popular clothing brand giving off the impression that it’s fans are well… fat. Therefore, how’d did everyone in the F21 corporate office miss this flub?

Several customers who received their fashion orders along with the bars took to social media in order to air their displeasure. Many were immediately offended by the gesture. Feeling that Forever 21 should apologize for their error. Some of their thoughts:

“I am FUMING that Forever 21 is actually sending Atkins Bars in Plus Size orders. Are you LITERALLY KIDDING me?? What is wrong with you?!”

“Yes shame on me for ordering from Forever 21 but why do they have to push diet food on me? It came with an Atkins bar.”

“Since Forever 21 feels I should go on a fad diet; maybe now is a good time to tell you all about my already existing fitness journey that doesn’t include Atkins Bars or Forever 21!”

“Forever 21 is a garbage company, and their PR team can choke.”

So How Should We Proceed Captain?

Strong words, huh? Well as of yet right now, Forever 21 is still keeping lips sealed. There are no current statements about the Atkins Bars or any formal apology.

While there is a multitude of customers who are upset about this food delivery. Still others are totally okay with it. Even prompting those who are mad that they received them; to forward the bars to them instead. One F21 fan said, “Bruh, its free food… shut up and eat it!”

Thus, showing that in this world it hard to please or satisfy anyone. We will await to see how Forever 21 decides to handle this situation.

Traveling is part of my lifestyle and having a garment that transcends climate and seasons is so convenient. I lived in Russia for a few years, and I fell in love with fur during my stay. I have always wanted to work with fur. This season I have applied detachable fur as a luxury feature to the garments.”
