Beauty Trends: Glass Nails – Even Cinderella Would Give These a Try!

Glass Nails

If Cinderella didn’t ask for a Prince, but rather a night off and a dress. Then perhaps she didn’t really want the slippers either! Glass nails are making a strong comeback; however, they have been slightly remixed for the new age.

For instance, back in 2015, shattered glass nails slid into the nail art realm like a hurricane. Overnight the look took off until it just suddenly and swiftly disappeared. Like the clock struck twelve and the fun was over.

Nevertheless, now the glass look is receiving a bit of a beauty revival. Instead of a broken vibe, nails are more modern and fresh by staying simple and lucid.  The goal is for the nail to be long, shaped and crystal clear to peer through.

Beauty Trends: Glass Nails – Even Cinderella Would Give These a Try

Is it really made out of glass? Like in the past, even now people wonder about this particular nail style. Nonetheless, the answer is simply nada. No, the nails are not really made out of real glass.

If they were, they would be extremely heavy; most likely, straining the actual nail. Also, don’t even get us started on the type of pain one would endure if it broke! Glass nails are just regular acrylic nails.

Would you like to see a demonstration on how this type of nail design is created? We thought you might! Check out and enjoy the short tutorial below.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL!

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Rihanna has the Internet crashing over news regarding her latest upcoming release. You ready? Better be because they’re here, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! A sexy step away from her sick lineup of lipsticks and diverse foundations. So then, what are these new beauty must-haves for summer 2018?

Literally, just the products that will be in every beauties makeup arsenal. Starting with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava, this gem is a full body luminizer that will give your skin an out of this world gleaming effect. Like forget highlighter, Rihanna’s body illuminators are all that is necessary in order to achieve an intense, all day wear glow up.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Miss Fenty is kicking off her Body Lava collection with not one, but two luxurious tones. Beginning on April 6th you will be able to purchase the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in both: Brown Sugar and Who Needs Clothes.

Brown Sugar is the deeper of the two body illuminating products. It has a more golden, coppery finish unlike Who Needs Clothes with it’s more pink pearl, lighter appearance. Nonetheless, each one packs a powerful, mesmerizing punch.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL

However, even though Rihanna is flaunting it, why should one use an illuminator? What is it’s sole purpose anyway? To answer those questions allow us to ask, “Well, have you seen the Gram lately?” Everyone is glowing like they were created from the sun directly.

Nevertheless, not all of us are born with picture perfect skin with gorgeous luminousity. In fact, most of us are not. Thus, why using an illuminator product can come in handy; among other reasons, here are just a few:

Radiance– At times our delicate skin can look a little dull. Adding a smidge of product with a sparkling effect can instantly give skin a boost. Allowing for a more natural, healthy finish.

Go Baby Go– We’re all busy, so being able to brighten and enhance on the fly is anyone’s dream. Body luminizers are easy to use and give off super quick results. Instead of months of treatments you can get a celebrity glow in seconds.

Like a Rose Petal– Another amazing aspect of these glowing products are that they usually contain some sort of skin softening agent. Therefore, not only do you get to enjoy awesome highlighting elements, but softer, smoother feeling skin. WINNING!

Definition– Why do you use highlighter on your face? Besides it looking absolutely fabulous in a selfie, you most likely also use it for its contouring benefits. Highlighter allows users to bring out their best features while slightly altering the ones they are not so fond of. The same can be accomplished with a body luminizer.

You can apply it to only the areas you decide, in order to give definition and more contour to your body. Got a great chest? Show it off by illuminating it. Got sexy shoulders, taut stomach or neckline? Well then, you know what to do! Body illuminators can help you enhance any body part that you love.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

So now that you know why you should use an illuminator, you may be wondering how exactly it works. Well, its pretty simple. You see these products are formulated with gentle pearlescent molecules that shimmer and shine once applied.

They can reflect light so that whether you are chilling on the beach or serving looks at a party; your skin can look A-list status. While the lightly textured mixture should make quite the impact with one pass. It can also still be layered in order to achieve even more intense yet beautiful results.

So we all have something to definitely be excited about when it comes to the release of Fenty Beauty Body Lava. However, did you know it is actually a member of a much bigger product lineup? Yup, it’s true, the Lava illuminators are apart of the Fenty Beauty Beach Please Collection.

As a result, Rihanna took to social media to talk about her new glow-worthy products. On Instagram she says,

“Summer came early with my Beach Please collection [by] Fenty Beauty. Body Lava Luminizer and Fairy Bomb glittering Pom Pom are coming to fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP on April 6th!”

Fenty Beauty Body Lava -EVERY DETAIL

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Besides the nice reveal to fans the world’s favorite Badgal went a step further. Yes, Rih went full YouTube style on us all with tutorials demonstrating exactly how to use the new Beach Please collection. The tutorials were not only enlightening and a great plug for the line itself; but, also gave a cool sneak peek about another tool!

Beach Please will also incorporate a new kubuki brush to help one and all get their glow on. The brush works hand in hand with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Luminizers to blend them in seamlessly into the skin. Not only will this provide a more professional looking finish; but will also help keep fingers clean. Since who really wants to deal with a messy application? UHM, no one (Lol).

Now that we have talked extensively about brushes and illuminating body lava. However, there’s still one more item to discuss and it’s just as fabulous! If you’re not feeling liquid, then maybe glowing up with powder will be more your speed. Enter the Fenty Beauty Fairy Pom Pom!

Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Pom Pom

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

Remember wanting to steal Tinker Bell’s wand so you can sprinkle pixie dust everywhere? Oh wait, that was just us (haha)? Well, now you can dust yourself with a powder puff loaded with glitter.

The Fairy Pom Pom is reminiscent of old Hollywood. You may be reminded of classic starlets sitting in front of their vanities daintily patting themselves with powder puffs. Nonetheless, this is not your grandma’s powder. Instead of being baby powder fresh you will be able to puff your skin to a more luminous epidermis.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

As one can see April 6th is gearing up to be quite a busy shopping day. However, since we are sure that the Beach Please Collection will sell like hot cakes there are a few things you should know. For instance, the collection will available for purchase on the 6th on the Fenty Beauty as well as Sephora website. Also, the Sephora app will have purchasing powers.

Furthermore, items will also be available via Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP just at different times. Availability will begin at 8a.m. on the Harvey Nichols website; and 10 a.m. in store at Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP. That’s it for now, happy shopping everyone!

Editor’s Diary: Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve – NEW Spring Fragrance!

Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve

Dear Diary,

Thanks to my mother I can not in my right mind walk out my home without a whiff of fragrance trailing behind me. My mom’s go to was always White Diamonds (by the late Elizabeth Taylor) or Chanel No.5; plus one from France whose name currently slips me (sorry mom). Nevertheless, I have always loved to switch it up depending on the season. Now that spring is upon us I am beyond excited about all the new perfume releases; including the spanking new Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve!

Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve

No not the classic the movie. You see, Le Jour Se Leve is the title of a French film that is over 75 years old. Released back in June of 1939, the film starring Jean Gabin is considered to be one of the greatest in French movie history. While having the same name as an iconic film is cool that is not the reason I am obsessing over LV’s newest addition.

Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve – NEW Spring Fragrance

Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve

What is the real meaning of Le Jour Se Leve? When translated into English it is, “The day begins.” Usually, in spring we think of renewal or a fresh start. This is due to the flowers blooming, beautiful greenery everywhere and the sun shining brightly. How can one not love such tantalizing calmness?

Nevertheless, now the season of new beginnings is bottled up and ready to wear. Fashion house Louis Vuitton is taking all the spring season vibes into consideration for their newest scent. LV explains,

“Introducing Le Jour Se Leve: a new fragrance from Louis Vuitton that radiates luminous optimism. The essence of the sun’s first rays.

The LV Parfums Collection is updated with Le Jour Se Leve, an optimistic and stimulating breath of early morning air. Perfumer Jacques Cavalier Belletrud captured a comforting freshness using mandarin illuminated by sambac jasmine and blackcurrant accords. Discover the new fragrance in Louis Vuitton stores and at louisvuitton.com now.”

Beauty Quickie: Aging Face -The Two Types You Must Know

Aging Face

No one in their right mind wants to think about an aging face. However, knowing what causes it can help you formulate a plan or routine to minimize it’s future effects. Did you know there are two different types of aging? Well, in today’s Beauty Quickie we are going to briefly breakdown down to the two types of aging you must know.

Beauty Quickie: Aging Face -The Two Types You Must Know

There are two types of aging, Intrinsic and Extrinsic. Intrinsic is chronological aging. It is a natural process responsible for 20% of aging. This type can be very difficult to control because it is already determined by genes.

That brings to Extrinsic aging. Extrinsic is influenced by external factors. 80% of premature aging is caused by lifestyle choices. Which means you are still very much in control of what your face will look like. Factors include such things as sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial expressions, a poor skin regimen as well as an unhealthy diet.

Aging Face

Oftentimes women as well as men ignore taking care of their skin as a teenager or while in their twenties. Uh, wrong move babe! While it is never too late to start a skincare routine that will eliminate various skin issues. Prevention is still the best way to stave off any future problems.

Therefore, take the information in this post and use it to your advantage. Be aware of any factors that may cause premature aging and steer clear. Plus, regardless of your age you are never too young to start taking amazing care of your skin. If you do you can avoid a badly aging face and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Skincare Products: Thanks to genetics your skin may not “crack” but it is always good to help the process anyway. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Image Skincare Ageless Collection. The collection’s product range which includes serum, masque, cleanser and moisturizer; is specially formulated for aging skin.

Black Girl Fitness: Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates!

Couple Workout Routine

Summer will be here before we know it. Don’t let warmer weather, bikinis, maxi dresses, and short-shorts catch you off guard. Get ready to showcase your best body ever, by doing a hard-hitting couple workout routine right now!

Black Girl Fitness: Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates

Actress Halle Berry is still spilling all of her fitness secrets. Her latest? Working out with your SO. Nevertheless, why should you give this type of workout a try? Berry says,

“Today is all about the couple workout. It’s often easier to workout with a partner. A partner holds you accountable so you won’t quit halfway through. A partner can spot you so you don’t injure yourself; but most of all, working out with a partner just makes it all more fun!

Here are two simple exercises you and your boo can do at home. It’s a plank with a squat and each person gets a workout at the same time. Squats for butt and legs, and plank for core and upper body. Do 20 reps for 10 sets. If you’re just beginning, do 10 reps for 5 sets.”

Couple Workout Routine -Halle Berry Demonstrates

Halle Berry is one of the hottest women ever. Therefore, if that is her advice we are taking it! Get like Halle and try out this couple workout routine. Here is how to do it with photo reference!

Couple Workout Routine Couple Workout Routine

One partner gets into plank position, while the other stands behind in a deep squat with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart; while holding the planker’s feet. The squater should then stand up with knees slightly bent. This is the start position.

From the start position, the planker continues to hold their position while the squater squats down. Perform 20 reps for 10 sets, or if just beginning, do 10 reps for 5 sets.

Once all the sets are completed, switch positions. The squater moves to the plank, while the planker becomes the squater. Then perform the same amount of reps again. Want a major challenge? Instead of reps just do as many reps as you can do before the burn becomes too much.

Couple Workout Routine Couple Workout Routine

 

Couple Workout Routine

Working out solo is cool, but don’t miss out on all the benefits that working out as a couple can accomplish! While there are SO many, here are five awesome benefits that may just convince you to give Halle’s tip a try.

Keeping Things Fresh– Sometimes after awhile working out can seem a little stale. Used to the same walls, scenery, moves and music. However, add a partner and now its a party! Suddenly, exercising will feel less like the norm thanks to the addition of a new dynamic. Plus, you may find yourself working even harder just to impress your babe.

Stronger Bond– You both will be sticking closer than a pair of atoms. Science and research is showing that couples that work out together experience a stronger bond with each other which leads to a strengthened relationship. Awwww!

I Challenge You to a Duel!- Without swords of course, unless you both are into that kind of thing or fencing. Nevertheless, a couple workout routine provides an avenue for healthy competition. As both partners challenge each other to workout harder or longer, better results can be experienced and achieved.

Mama I’m a Cheerleader– Everyone needs encouragement sometimes. The great thing is when you are working out with your love you have a built in cheerleader. Someone with your best interests in mind that also wants to see you succeed. Both of you can “woo” and “you got this” each other to more tone bodies.

Catching FeelingsAnd Z’s– As we already established you and the boo will be falling for each other more. However, by getting your fitness on you both will also enjoy better sleep and less stress. Score!

Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Dear Diary,

I recently spotted two of my favorite things. Ebony model Duckie Thot (duh) and an out of this world lip gloss color! The new Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss turns your lips into an artistic canvas filled with mesmerizing, sparkly details!

Editor’s Diary: Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Seriously, Rihanna had it right; when it comes to beauty you should always, “Shine bright like a diamond.” Gleaming and dazzling makeup is not new to the makeup scene. For instance, for the past 8 months holographic and “galaxy” themed makeup products have garnered mass attention. This latest addition to the market by Urban Decay is right on par.

Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Candy Flip is apart of Urban Decay’s Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss Collection. The brand is heralding their line as every girl’s new lipgloss holy grail. Moreover, the collection contains 20 new shades! They’re names are striking and immediately catchy. They are:

  • Jawbreaker
  • Candy Flip
  • SPL
  • Midnight Cowgirl
  • Fuel
  • Bang
  • Fireball
  • Beso
  • Dirty Talk
  • 1993
  • Shadowheart
  • Obsessed
  • Big Bang
  • Savage
  • Snitch
  • Backtalk
  • Rapture
  • Naked
  • Snapped
  • Goldmine

Nonetheless, in regards to Candy Flip, I love that it covers two of the year’s hottest trends. The color Purple as well as bold hues in general. For 2018 Pantone has declared that Ultra Violet is this year’s Color of the Year. This luxurious color evokes a sense of royalty, ingenuity, originality as well as visionary thinking that points us toward the future.

Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss

Furthermore, bold color is taking over every red carpet and fashion house. Now is not the time to be boring. If you want to make a makeup statement then incorporate fun and festive tones into your look!

LOVE,

Arianne XOXO

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Shudu Gram

She’s one of the hardest working models in the industry… and she’s not even real! Meet Shudu Gram, a CGI wonder that is being featured on magazine covers and shouted out by some of biggest brands in the world. With a career that any mere human lover of fashion would want and thousands of fans; it looks as though Shudu’s career is poised to only rise.

Melanin Magic: Meet Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Who is she? That is the question that started it all.  Shudu Gram’s creator posed it after the CGI supermodel first started making waves. Since her introduction into the fashion world, one puzzling question seemed to develop and stay on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Is this beautiful woman even real?

Shudu Gram

Gorgeous, extremely. A killer fashion model, no doubt. An actual human being, major doubt.

As much as the world wanted to believe Shudu Gram’s photography was real; her beauty just seemed a little manufactured. However, that’s when the magic occurred. No one cares!

Like us, literally every fan didn’t care if she is in fact fake. In the end, her work or the work of her creator is just simply too exquisite to ignore. Human or CGI people respect the images as stunning art additions for the world to behold.

Therefore, who is the genius behind Shudu Gram? Obviously, someone not only talented, but should win an award for being able to keep such a huge secret. Shudu is the creation of photographer, Cameron-James Wilson. Wilson is no stranger to the fashion industry; having worked with everyone from Victoria’s Secret model Devon Windsor to Gigi Hadid.

Shudu Gram -The World’s First Digital Supermodel

Shudu Gram

From the beginning, we have been huge fans of Wilson’s artistry with his CGI supermodel. We have featured her numerous times and still can not get enough. Even though some may take offense to the likeness of a black model’s features being used; we think Cameron-James’ work is lovely and tastefully done.

In a world that normally tries to tear down black girls and women. Saying we are unattractive and unable to sell or push merchandise with our beauty. It is nice to see someone create imagery that celebrates our Melanin Magic and brings our beauty to the fore. Proving once again our beauty is striking, sought after and of course, sellable.

Shudu Gram’s gorgeous self has been utilized on the cover of ULIHOUMISM magazine as well as a muse for Soul Sky brand. A clothing label originally from Africa. Furthermore, recently even Fenty Beauty has shown off Shudu’s fabulousness. The cosmetics giant is the first makeup brand to use Shudu’s image to market a beauty product. Thus, showing Rihanna is always ahead of the game and competition; even when it comes to using CGI models. Shudu can be seen rocking Rihanna’s MATTEMOISELLE in “SAWC.”

Therefore, well done Cameron-James Wilson! Moreover, congratulations on designing the world’s first CGI supermodel.
