Normani Named Savage X Fenty Brand Ambassador -It’s Very First!

Normani Named Savage X Fenty Brand Ambassador

Rihanna’s savage lingerie brand continues to make moves and show it possesses the “Motivation” to evolve for the future. The latest? THIS  JUST IN: Normani Named Savage X Fenty Brand Ambassador! This is HUGE news; as the intimates brand has never had a face or ambassador behind the company other than Rih herself.

Is this good or bad news? Good. Very good! While numerous reports are indicating that Victoria’s Secret is in decline; this could be a real opportunity for Rihanna to slip in and dominate. Just like she did in beauty.

You see, 2019 is already a good year for Savage X Fenty. It saw sales reaching up towards $150 million in pure revenue. Additionally, the brand received another $50 million in fresh funding.

If that was not enough, Rihanna also put on quite the spread in terms of fashion shows. It lived up to the company’s mission statement which is, “Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty celebrates fearlessness, confidence and inclusivity. We want you to feel sexy and have fun doing it.”

Her show had it all. Dance numbers, top models, and a major biggie… ALL SIZES AND SHAPES! Where other fashion shows only send a size zero down a catwalk. Rihanna hit the masses with a show that showed REAL body types.

Normani Named Savage X Fenty Brand Ambassador -It’s Very First

Now enter Savage X Fenty’s new brand ambassador, Normani. This moves opens the door to connect Normani’s fanbase and image to the brand. Moreover, we are sure more brand ambassadors will be named in the future.

Nevertheless, trust us when we say Rihanna is self-sufficient and can drive the ship all on her own. Her influence has successfully launched numerous companies. However, bringing on others only helps to bring EVEN MORE hype and attention to the brand.

Victoria had her angels. Rihanna has her savages. This is honestly just good business for the ever growing brand. Plus, Normani is the perfect choice for Rihanna’s sexy brand. The girl has moves, that voice and don’t even get us started on that body!

As Rihanna’s lingerie brand enters a new era, we can only foresee good things. The competition is scrambling, while Savage X Fenty is just doing its thing and creating hype. Congrats to Rihanna and Normani on this awesome partnership!

Heads Up… Quick Mascara Tip- It’s All In the Tilt Baby!

Updated on

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

Beauty Quickie: Mascara can do AMAZING things to your makeup look; if applied right. Moreover, there are some cool, nifty little tricks as wel as hacks you can do in order to make your lashes and eyes REALLY pop. Today we are going to share one of these beauty gems with you. Read on in order to learn a simple and quick mascara tip that may change your lash enhancing techniques forever.

Heads Up… Quick Mascara Tip- It’s All In the Tilt Baby

With this tip approach things like you would hanging something on the wall. Depending on how you want things to look, YOU HAVE TO position things in the right way. Same thing with mascara everyone. Your head position is major key. Here are 3 ways to do it:

#1 When applying mascara you should aim to keep your head up; but with a slight tilt backwards. Lowering your chin will cause the mascara to go all over your lid and that’s a look all of us wish to avoid.

#2 Once again tilt your head backwards; yet this time widen your eyes. The extra space created will really allow you to push mascara into your lashes and coat them well. Plus, once again the tilt position will cut down on getting mascara everywhere.

#3 Lastly, yet again tilt your head back; but this time look down while you apply a light coat of mascara. Once finished move to the opposite eye and utilize the same technique. Go back in forth between eyes for a few layers until you achieve the desired look. The finish should be a nice natural, yet lengthy and voluminous pair of lashes.

Water Babies

Are you drinking enough water? This tip is so simple yet still many of us do not always make the best use of it. Drinking enough water every day can help us flush out as well as detoxify our bodies.

What can this accomplish? By staying properly hydrated we are able to rid our bodies of not only bad elements that can make us sick, but also elements that can create our beauty foe, acne.

As a result, it is essential to be sure to drink enough water each and every day. By keeping the body well hydrated with water, we can achieve not only a healthier body but healthy looking skin.

Thou Shall Not Be Picker

This year make one promise to yourself, “I will not squeeze or pick my pimples!” When a zit pops up right before a special occasion, it can be very tempting to want to get rid of it immediately. However, doing so could prove to be very costly.

What some don’t realize, is that when you pick or squeeze a pimple you’re only making the problem worse. This is because doing so can actually lead to the acne spreading. So then, what started as a little problem can then become a much bigger issue.

Therefore, what is the cure or solution to this common beauty problem? Instead of squeezing or picking, apply a topical ointment or cream specially formulated to treat acne. Also, applying toner to the skin after cleansing can help to keep skin clear. Use Q-tips or cotton balls to dab on the toner to any infected areas.

Nothing But a Food Thing Baby

Can you eat your way to better skin? In one word, yes! For healthier clear skin be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

For instance, Vitamin A has been scientifically proven to help fade brown spots, create smoother skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is because Vitamin A has the ability to stimulate cells that create tissues that keep skin healthy and firm. Furthermore, this vitamin also helps to protect skin against UV damage as well as infection. Therefore, if you want fresh, youthful looking skin then Vitamin A is the vitamin for you!

Not quite sure which foods will help give your body more Vitamin A? Well, Vitamin A can be derived from such animal sources such as eggs, meat as well as dairy products. However, there are plenty of plant-based food sources that you can consume as well in order to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin A. They are:

•Carrots
•Spinach
•Cantaloupes
•Kale
•Mangoes
•Apricots
•Peaches
•Broccoli
•Asparagus
•Pumpkin

Therefore, stay balanced with daily exposure to the sun, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, and don’t even think about squeezing or picking those pimples! By keeping all these tips and tricks in mind clear skin can be yours.

Darkyonce -The Fierce Beyoncé Hair Color We LOVE!

Darkyonce

The return of Darkyonce was everything we wanted, hoped for and dreamt of. Yes, Beyoncé is a beautiful woman, but we would be completely lying if we said we didn’t love her with darker toned hair.

For a couple of decades now, Bey has become known for several signature things…observe:

Darkyonce

hard dancing,

Darkyonce
a leotard,

Darkyonce
vocals

Darkyonce
and of course, blonde tresses.

In the hairstyle department… It doesn’t matter if her strands have been short, long, curly or straight. The constant of her look has consistently been to be a blonde.

However, it’s not a bad thing in any way. It’s a look Mrs. Carter has effortlessly maintained through multiple albums, tours, pregnancies and award seasons. Plus, heck, don’t blondes have more fun? (We’ll answer that, at times yes lol).

And fun she has definitely had with her looks. The queen always seems to dance to the beat of her own drum when it comes to her personal style and flair.

Darkyonce -The Fierce Beyoncé Hair Color We LOVE!

Darkyonce

So then, where did the return of dark hair Beyoncé occur? The singer and her hip hop mogul husband, Jay Z, were spotted at a Houston Rockets game. The couple sat court side catching plenty of fan and camera attention.

Darkyonce

Beyoncé wore an eye-popping ensemble by Marine Serre. Instantly, her “moon” printed leggings became a couture hot topic. While most of us rock a pair between $20-$50; Queen Bey did it up! She hit the scene in the Marine Serre Women’s Moon-Print Footed Leggings in Black which retails for… wait for it… $515.

Darkyonce

Yes, that was just the price of the Queen’s leggings. Oh us peasants (Lol). Nevertheless, if it’s been a good month and you’d like to splurge on Beyoncé’s leggings you can find them online at Barney’s New York.

Darkyonce

However, we digress. This posting is supposed to be about hair. You see, we love Beyoncé with darker hair because it we believe it brings out her beautiful features. Her eyes, cheeks and skin tone just seem to pop more.

We’re glad she brought it back after a long dark hair sighting drought. How long she’ll keep it remains to be seen. Nonetheless, it’s a great look that can’t be ignored. Welcome back Darkyonce we missed you!

Darkyonce
