Fenty x Amina Muaddi Collection! Biggest Shoe Release of 2020!
BE HEELED!!! Rihanna is blessing our fashion souls with one of the (if not the biggest) collaborations of 2020! The Fenty x Amina Muaddi Capsule Collection! A line up that is all about shoes… REALLY …
Fenty Skin -Fenty Beauty Skincare by the Fabulous Rihanna!
Well, just knock us over with a face mask! Fenty Skin is on the way and it will be your GO TO for clean, gorgeous and glowing skin! What’s on deck and how did this all come about?
Started from a photo now we’re here. Well… kinda. Months ago, Rihanna stirred up much beauty frenzy when she posted a pic of herself sans makeup. Anyone else doing this, probably wouldn’t cause much excitement. However, all true fans of Rih knows that homegirl loves to drop a hint or two before a LIFE CHANGING release!
Basically, throughout Rihanna history, before every major launch, Rihanna can be seen wearing her upcoming release. From her appearances at The Met to magazine covers; Rih seems to always treat the masses to a sneak peek. Therefore, when the Queen does something out of the ordinary. Us peasants pay attention.
Nevertheless, even before a helpful photo drop, some business was being conducted behind the scenes. Turns out that the skincare thing has been on the ingenious mind of Rihanna since at least early 2019. How do we know?
The United States Patent and Trademark Office’s website holds the smoking gun. According to it, a trademark listed under “Fenty Skin” was filed on March 26, 2019. Bingo.
From that moment on, the wheels were placed in motion. There was just two problems, a when and what? When could consumers expect the official release and what products would be included?
Fenty Skin -Fenty Beauty Skincare by the Fabulous Rihanna!
We can shed some light on all of that; so let’s get to the fun stuff. Now that we know Fenty Skincare is obviously a work in progress. What can lovers of Fenty Beauty and Rihanna expect? Two words: MAJOR PRODUCTS!
Once again going back to the latest trademark registration for the upcoming Fenty Skin; it is revealed that the company and lineup will incorporate “medicated and non-medicated skincare.” This would include soap, body care as well as personal care products; but excludes color cosmetics, perfume and other fragrance only products.
If that doesn’t already sound amazing enough. The registration also seems to indicate that tools, kits and applicators will be manufactured! Which is nice, because such items really help to take the guesswork out of skin routines.
Skin routines over the years have gotten more involved and at times… complicated. Don’t believe? Try googling how to have “Glass Skin” then get back to us. Nevertheless, with the ease of use that Rihanna has applied to her super successful cosmetics brand; it’s eagerly arousing to see what helpful items like tools and kits BadgalRiRi develops!
Fans have been anxiously anticipating “Fenty Beauty Skincare.” Several rival brands have already dropped their products into the beauty market pool. With so much saturation can Fenty Skin emerge from the pack?
There’s Room… Fenty Beauty Skincare by the Fabulous Rihanna
Most definitely! First of all, Rihanna has already proven she can sell. Her name, style, persona, and well-formulated products have earned her worldwide trust.
Moreover, besides just being a talented star, Rih has actually already sold TONS of skin related products. From her wildly successful Body Lava luminizer to her lip balm and scrub. Fenty Beauty proves that Rihanna can still carve out a nice piece of the beauty industry pie for herself and purely dominate.
She does this by really listening to her fans and filling in where other brands are too neglectful to investigate. Case in point, Fenty Beauty Foundation that shook the makeup world to its very core due to Rihanna’s initial release of a whopping 40 shades. And just your typical ones either. A full range where light, medium, dark skin and everything in between were addressed.
Basically, for the first time, black girls and women could find a color that actually blends and doesn’t look ashy. This then influenced other brands to catch up and try to cater to more than just a select few. But the point had already been made. The consumer holds all the cards and are willing to support whoever is willing to truly support them and THEIR needs.
Rihanna still takes great care of her base. We cry for eyeliner. Boom she gives it. We herald a cause for mascara. Ka-BAM now it’s in our makeup bags. With that much attention we are sure Rihanna’s Skincare line will be just as catering to women’s real skincare needs.
Fenty Skin -The Last Word
That just leaves the last big question. When? Well, as of right now, there is no exact date.
However, Rihanna has finally confirmed that skincare is in fact on the way and it is coming later in 2020. Now that may send chills up fans’ spines (Lol). Especially, since it was promised that an album was coming during 2029 and come December we were all realizing that we had been had (Haha).
However, in a recent exclusive with British Vogue Rihanna confirmed a 2020 release of her album; which gives us confidence in a 2020 release for Fenty Skin. So get ready girls, it’s almost time for our skin to shine like diamonds in the sky!

Uhm, say it with us one time y’all… BOMB! A real jack-of-all-trades mascara instead of needing to mix or apply a couple of products to achieve a similar result. Nevertheless, the Fenty Beauty brand had a few more words of description to add in regards to Full Frontal. The brand states,
“If y’all wanted to know the secret to Rihanna’s poppin’ lashes, the wait is over! Full Frontal Mascara –a water resistant–, longwearing, and smudge resistant formula with a brush that lifts lashes on the fat side; and defines and curls on the flat side.

Fenty Beauty… our souls are prepared. So did you guys catch all that. Well, just in case your coffee or matcha hasn’t kicked in; here is a cheat sheet of all the benefits of Full Frontal Mascara!
- Water Resistent
- Super Longwear
- Curling Power
- Lift Lashes
- Add Great Lengths
- Volumizes Each Strand
- Smudge Resistent Formula
- Dual Action Brush
Impressive right? Well, that is quick overview of this product. NEVERTHELESS, if you have time to really dive in KEEP READING! Or come back and finish the rest of this feature. Because we went DEEP and got even more intel as well as Pricing! WOO!
Fenty Beauty’s Full Frontal Mascara -Lift, Curl and Lengthen (Continued)
As promised, here are more details. According to Fenty Beauty their mascara can give you:
“Get full on lashes like never before with Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara. Designed to deliver Rihanna’s full lash look. Full Frontal’s do-it-all formala is clinically proven to volumize, lengthen; lift and curl lashes. Exposing every little lash with eye-opening definition.
Full Frontal’s lightweight, ultra black formula was specifically paired with an exclusive flat-to-fat brush. The FAT side holds max product to quickly load and lift lashes. The FLAT side defines and curls. And thanks to the round, pointed tip, you can load up and reveal every little lash you never knew you had. We’re talking flat to fat… just like that.
Full Frontal builds easily, too, giving you plenty of playtime to layer, define, separate –whatever it is you need to do to create the look you want. And thanks to longwear, water-resistant formula life-tested by Rihanna to stand up to smudging; sweat, tears, this mascara keeps up while you turn up. Keeping lashes fully exposed from root to tip until you’re ready to wash it off.”
Fenty Beauty’s Full Frontal Mascara -What We Love
First of all, the fact that it is smudge proof is bringing tears to our eyes. And the fact that once such tears come to fruition we STILL don’t have to worry about it… FABULOUS! No more raccoon eyes or lower lash darkness. Your mascara will stay where it rightfully belongs… on your lashes.
However, most importantly is the effort that went into the wand and brush. For the last several years people have been in search of a mascara that can do it all. Basically, give the masses “faux lash” looking eyes without all the additional work.
There have been some valiant efforts in the field. From different formula combinations to two product kits. With one item for fibers to apply and the other to then finish creating the illusion of fuller, longer lashes.
All of that is fine and dandy; but still did not fix the issues of there being a product. Just one solid product that can handle that task. That is… not till Rihanna. And that my friends is why she continues to innovate and purely dominate the industry.
She sees an issue, reviews a product and actually enhances it. Plus, she listens to her market, we said lash products please and she goes off and gets it developed. Rihana we are still in need of nail polish; but we will wait on your orders Queen (LOL)!
Nevertheless, a little more on the significance of this flat to fat brush. In times past a person had to choose. A decision had to be made if you either wanted volume or length. Most makeup companies year after year only came out with mascara that could handle one or the other.
Don’t believe? Well, a quick Google search will land you several names of mascara advertising MEGA Lashes, Lengthening Mascara, Curling Formula; all separate products. However, now with Rihanna you don’t have choose and you don’t need a kit. All you need is a flick of your wrist.
This is product that is not dependent on formula only. It is an advanced mascara with an exclusive brush design to create magazine worthy lashes.
What We Love Continued
Moreover, mascara brushes have definitely come a long way. You may recall some past designs; all with the intent of giving us the lashes we crave. There have been REALLY big brushes; designed with the thinking that bigger means better. A good invention that unfortunately afterawhile no longer made sense.
Also, there’s been designs for helping to get those pesky little hairs to act right. From balls to more severe spikes, companies have attempted it all; in order to get every last lash to stand to attention.
How does Rihanna’s product rank to all of them? In our opinion, pretty darn high. Her design allows for all angles of the lash line to be completely saturated with product. Additionally, the design allows for creativity; to give some parts more curl while focusing on more volume in other spaces. Sort of like with eyelash extensions. Depending on whether you want a more natural or dramatic result is how you place each individual strand. Or where you will place the longer and shorter lashes in proportion to the eye.
Fenty Beauty Full Frontal Mascara works in the exact same way. Depending on the look you are after is what side of the brush you will use. Therefore, a single brush that can achieve those types of capabilities will always rate above the average, usual spoilie design.
Fenty Beauty’s Full Frontal Mascara -Pricing and Where to Buy
Want to buy the new Fenty Beauty Mascara? Of course you do! Well, as Rihanna mentioned this new item will be available for purchase online on the Fenty Beauty website.

Rihanna for Vogue Australia May 2019 Issue -The “Phenomenon”

This earth’s favorite self-professed ‘badgal’s popularity is only growing stronger; while her queenly dominion increases. Next month, VOGUE is diving into the phenomenon that is Rihanna. Scroll on to learn more about Rihanna for Vogue Australia May 2019 Issue!
Rihanna for Vogue Australia May 2019 Issue -The “Phenomenon”
Why is she so successful? There’s makeup [Fenty Beauty], athleisure [Fenty x Puma], lingerie [Savage x Fenty], socks [Stance] and an upcoming luxury couture line. All doing great, all making TONS of cash. Vogue Australia is taking a stab at explaining the secret behind Fenty’s enduring dominance in their latest edition. VOGUE says,
“Influential, unstoppable, fearless, a natural born leader. Meet our May 2019 cover star; Rihanna, an icon who knows inclusivity and knows what women want. Vogue investigates the Rihanna effect.”
Nevertheless, there is much to learn from and about Rihanna. People from all regions and walks of life seem to easily become comfortable with the hard-working musician. Regarding this VOGUE Australia shares one example, stating,
“‘I know ours is an unusual relationship. We are from very different worlds and we’re very different ages. Her childhood was very different to my upbringing in Adelaide; and the world of politics is not something she has deeply immersed herself in. Likewise, no-one would ever mistake me for a rock n’ roller or a pop icon,’ former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard says of her unlikely friendship with Rihanna.
‘But despite all those differences I’ve found Rihanna is very easy to be around; and very easy to have a conversation with. I’ve learnt things from her about her world I didn’t know.'”

Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson
When you thought Rihanna is only going to hit you with a Vogue September cover! One of fashion’s undisputed couture queens continues her dominance with the release of yet another set of magazine visuals. This time the songstress plops herself down in front of photography genius, Deana Lawson. Let’s get into this one babes, Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future edition!
Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson
New album, new makeup dropping and more fashion editorials. Rih is certainly giving the masses what they want! Garage Magazine released a statement regarding their Badgalriri and Lawson collab. The mag states,
“Behold! Rihanna stars on the cover GARAGE issue 15, The Human Future, photographed by artist Deana Lawson. Rihanna is a queen, but under Deana Lawson’s gaze even mere mortals take on an indisputable regality.
In conversation with fellow artist, Arthur Jafa, Deana Lawson reflects on how she came to photography and the process of taking pictures beyond the surface. Meet the celebrated artist behind this photograph [and read] the full story on garage.vice.com.”
So what are the kind of things Deana and Arthur gab about? For one, Lawson’s drive to create on her on terms. In conversation with Arthur Jafe, Deana says,
“Someone said that I’m ruthless when it comes to what I want. Maybe that’s part of it: I have an image in mind that I have to make. It burns so deeply that I have to make it; and I don’t care what people are going to think.”
Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson (Continued)
So how does she do it? How is Lawson able to make her artistic vision stand out from the rest of the pack? In Garage’s issue 15 featuring Rihanna, Deana gets real on her ethic and eye for great photography. She reveals,
“When I’m going out to make work, usually I’m choosing people that come from a lower or working-class situation. My choice feels natural because it’s a rejection of the people and forces I grew up around in Rochester… It’s about value. It’s about using a figure or a body to represent something higher than we would normally associate it with.
“I believe… I was destined to be an artist with a camera. It all adds up: my grandmother who worked for George Eastman, my mother who was a secretary at Kodak; my aunt who helps people ‘see,’ [and] my father who was the family photographer. How could it not be destiny?”
Fashion Notes: For her cover Rihanna wears a slew of designer attire. Her black briefs are Dolce & Gabbana, jewelry is from Tiffany & Co., pink vintage top is One of a Kind Fashion Archive; with shoes by Y Project.
