Missy Elliot Stars in Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 Campaign

Seasonally, designers constantly need to innovate or they will lose customers. Fresh and trendy equals sales in fashion. Therefore, it makes sense that designers would want to team up with hot models, entertainers, actors, musicians, movers and shakers in order to keep their brand relevant. Not that Marc Jacobs needs that type of help at all. Yet, its cool that a major couture house recognizes Missy’s strong style. What did MJ have to say about Missy’s style and selecting Elliot?

“From the moment I heard, The Rain, back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliot. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks.

In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I’m happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall ’16 campaign.” – Marc Jacobs

Missy Elliot’s Stylish Music Videos

Missy Elliot’s The Rain video is pretty banging. If you don’t recall or like many of us are too much of a young’in to know scroll down to see it in all of its glory. Trust, its worth the view and the whole Missy Elliot Stars in Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 Campaign will make even more sense.

Arianne Suggs June 2, 2016June 2, 2016Leave a Comment

The hardest working woman in music and fashion has made style headlines once again. This time it is not heels, slippers, boots, athletic wear, socks or an awesome pair of sneakers. Rihanna has collaborated with Dior on a Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection. The entire collection with have the Rihanna vibe and feel that fans have grown to love.

Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik, Rihanna x Puma, Rihanna x Stance and the list goes on and on. Whatever Rihanna touches seems to immediately turn into fashion gold. Don’t believe us? To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.

With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again. Ah yes, the Rihanna x Dior sunglasses collection is not the first time the music icon and luxurious brand have crossed paths.

Last year, Rihanna starred as the face of Dior’s 2015 Secret Garden Campaign. This was no small feat. Rihanna was thrust in the history books as being the first woman of color to be the face of Dior. It looks like the Rihanna x Dior partnership has only blossomed over time and we are completely excited for their upcoming release!

If you could get beauty advice from a world renown supermodel, would you take it? Most likely every beauty-nista reading this would raise their hands in order to indicate a resounding yes. Tyra Banks has been slowly doling out beauty tidbits via her cosmetics line, Tyra Beauty. One product in particular that our beauty paws have fallen on is the Tyra Beauty B.I.G. Lashes Silk Extension System.

Want lashes that seem to pop right off of your fab Instagram page? Yeah, we thought that might perk things up a bit for ya. Banks has developed an eyelash system to help you achieve just that. How can the Tyra Beauty B.I.G Lashes Silk Extension System give a gal big results? In just four easy steps you can say no to falsies and yes to natural looking voluminous lashes. Here’s how to use the system:

Extend the Reach: Start by applying the B.I.G. Lashes Silk Extensions beginning mid-lash THEN work your way to the top of your eyelashes. Tyra Beauty highly recommends steering clear of the water line. Therefore, take heed beauties.
Wave it Like You Just Don’t Care: Wave those mascara wands! Apply an even coat of B.I.G. Lashes Extending Mascara to lock in the Silk Extensions. Begin at the base and work your way to the tips.
See You Layer: Continue to alternate between layering on silk extensions and mascara until you create your desired glam look.
Check Yo’self: Make sure your lashes are to your liking and keep in mind one last tip. Some dolls prefer to begin this entire process by applying the mascara first and then the silk extensions. Try out both and see which technique or order you love best.

Black Beauty: Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations

Arianne Suggs April 25, 2016April 25, 2016Leave a Comment

We cannot feel our faces over this beauty news, but like The Weeknd, we like it! Anastasia, the queen of the brow formation and duchess of the contour is about to release a product that will once more change the face (pun intended) of the makeup game. What is she up to now to help us look all pretty? She is dropping Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations!

Just hours ago a teaser photo was released showing four gorgeous models on set shooting the ad campaign for the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations. Now get this… all four models were women of color! This marks a major beauty first. Anastasia of Beverly Hills is one of the first major cosmetics brands to release a new product starting with dark skin tones. Other lighter tones will be released but at a later time.

For years, the shortage of foundation colors for darker skinned women have often been overlooked by big name cosmetics. However, in more recent times a mind shift is occurring in the beauty industry. Thanks to efforts of supermodel Iman as well as black cosmetics companies such as Fashion Fair some options have been made available. Nevertheless, when you can count on one hand the number of brands offering deep, rich shades it shows that much improvement can still be achieved. Leaving out black girls and women from the makeup picture, cuts out a huge chunk of profits. However, now it seems that more companies are aiming to place their hands in the dark makeup pot.

We are excited to see a brand like ABH cater to all skin tones. The Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations will begin with four shades: Walnut, Amber, Almond and Cocoa. See them all below!

From left to right the shades are: Walnut, Amber, Almond and Cocoa

Beautiful right? Trust us you are going to want to get your hands on these sticks. This is the era of photoshop and filters. However, with these cream foundations you won’t need them or a beauty lamp to look Gram worthy. Just so you can see the true to color results of the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations check out this unedited, unretouched behind-the-scenes shot:

The ad campaign for the Anastasia of Beverly Hills Stick Foundations was lensed by Marcel Cantu. Makeup was beat by Keita Moore aka KilPrity if you follow on Snapchat. Hair was fried, dyed and laid to the side by Marcia Hamilton. Get excited for these new gorgeous shades! They will be available for purchase this August.
