Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 17, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

So many awesome campaigns are being revealed on the daily we can barely catch our breath! The model of century has done it again with yet another stunning ad campaign. Nevertheless, this time it’s double trouble because she is sharing the limelight with a very handsome co-star. Let us tell more about Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign.

Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign

She could wear a sack and we’d still buy it! Luckily, Naomi Campbell is working it in a chic collection of denim. Campbell is apart of the Givenchy family slash gang and was chosen for the Spring/Summer 2017 ad campaign. Campbell commented on her latest project stating, “Meet the new Givenchy jeans SS17 (Spring/Summer 2017) pinups. I love you Riccardo Tisci, thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone for another great project.”

Miss Campbell out of her comfort zone? Seems so far fetched since she always dazzles us with her body of work. However, when you ponder her statement it does start to make a lot of sense. As they say in order to be great you have to step outside your own box. Therefore, Naomi proves that unless you change you will remain the same.

Nonetheless, in the ad campaign Naomi shares camera time with male model, Justin Levy. The pair’s chemistry is electric with both serving face as well as amazing physiques. The renown and extremely talented Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign with the fabulous photog duo, Luigi and Lango creating art behind the lense. Kudos to all involved everything came out exquisitely!

Makeup Application Tip: Keep Things Less Messy With Plastic Spoon

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 16, 2017January 16, 2017Leave a Comment

Nowadays it seems like everyone is an expert makeup artist. We see videos of these gifted individuals on Youtube as well as all over SM. Even eight year olds have mastered contouring and the ultimate beat face. However, what about the rest of us? How can someone who hasn’t been blessed with steady hands beat the system? Well, there are several unconventional beauty methods that can be utilized in order to make your makeup application look just like Bey, flawless! Today, we are sharing the first of many, the plastic spoon.

Makeup Application Tip: Keep Things Less Messy With Plastic Spoon

Mascara can do wonders for your eyes but can get a little messy. Ever tried applying mascara to your bottom row of hairs? One issue that girls always talk about is the raccoon effect. Sometimes in an attempt to get those tiny hairs to submit and curl, application can lead to mascara transferring to skin under your eyes.

To prevent this beauty issue try using a plastic spoon during your next makeup application. Turn the spoon over so that the concave part will be facing your skin. Next, gently slide the spoon under your bottom lashes. Use the spoon as a shield then apply your mascara to your bottom lashes without getting on your face. Be careful not to go so high with the spoon that you risk poking an eye.

Nevertheless, with this simple trick you will be able to achieve a very clean, professional look. Moreover, you will also create lower lashes with more volume and fullness due to being able to apply a thicker coat of formula. Have fun ladies and here’s to cleaner makeup!

With glee Cipriana gushed about the L’Oreal campaign. She says, “I still can’t believe it! What a way to start off the New Year. So excited to be apart of the latest L’Oreal True Match Campaign which is being called one of the ‘most diverse beauty campaigns.’ Thank you to L’Oreal, the incredible team behind this campaign and all the inspiring individuals included. As a black woman I am excited for little girls/boys and young women/men to see diverse individuals they can identify with in the beauty industry. Showing their true self is true beauty and each and every one of us can look in the mirror and say, ‘Because I’m worth it.’

I have to admit I did shed a few tears when I had to say the classic line, ‘because you’re worth it’ during shooting. As a woman of color who had so many past struggles within the industry just to fight to simply be me. These struggles eventually led me to cofound Urban Bush Babes out of a strong passion to change the stereotypical standard of beauty and show true beauty is diversity.

To be selected from a brand I [also] have been using for over a decade and say because I am worth it from my unwavering beliefs. Wow, the power of standing up for what you believe in. Thank you to all who have shown your support and continue to support me on my journey.”

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 11, 2017January 11, 2017Leave a Comment

We never tire of a stylish Rihanna sighting. The fashion icon knows how to keep us all on our swank toes regardless of the season. It may be cold outside in the streets of New York City, however Rihanna is still bringing the trendy heat. What did she wear? Last night we spotted the singer and actress in a ritzy Burberry Fall 2016 Coat.

Spotted: Rihanna Rocks Burberry Fall 2016 Coat in NYC

Recent style sightings of Rihanna have included more laid back fashions as she shoots scenes for her new movie. An all female version of Ocean’s Eleven. However, yesterday Rihanna had to let everyone know she still knows her way around designer labels. She killed it in a green snakeskin coat from the Burberry Fall 2016 collection.

What we love most about RiRi is that she is not afraid to take risks. The particular coat she wore was styled completely different than it was on the runway. Actually, it was a total 180. Burberry’s catwalk look was more formal and incorporated more prints.

Nevertheless, Rihanna paired her Burberry Fall 2016 coat with pink sweat pants as well as a pink sweat shirt with a hoodie. A perfect example on how to blend high-end with more relaxed pieces.

Styling Notes: Who says sandals have to only be worn during warmer weather? If we have said it once, we will say it again, great fashion knows no bounds! Just because it is not spring or summer, it does not mean you have to retire one set of shoes for closed-in ones. If you are not going to be exposed to the elements for extended amounts of time go ahead and break out heels with the more open design.
