Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018- And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

Arianne SuggsUpdated on June 2, 2017June 2, 2017Leave a Comment

Ouch! After reading that headline you may be in need of a little ointment due to that burn. However, we are also sure that you can appreciate the honesty. Yes, it’s true about Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018, but getting a ticket will be rougher than The Hunger Games. May the odds be forever in your favor!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 – And Why You Won’t Get a Ticket

There are two glaring reasons why getting to see Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018 will be next to impossible. For one, it is a high profile show that everyone and their mama are going to want to attend. That means celebs, their friends, industry, posers, world’s biggest hive as well as music enthusiasts that you will have to compete against. Moreover, Beyonce fans are still trying to scratch that musical itch after Bey had to cancel her headliner performance at this year’s Coachella.

Bey’s absence for 2017’s Coachella music festival was very valid. Her and Jay are extending their family thus making their cutie daughter, Blue Ivy, a big sis to twin siblings. Although, Beyonce had showed great gusto performing while preggers at the Grammys. It was ultimately decided that she would cancel her Coachella performance for her and her babies’ health.

Nevertheless, the cancellation did not mean an end to the whole Beyonce and Coachella situation. For awhile, rumors swirled around that Bey was told she could perform in 2018 if she wanted. Well, it looks like there was some truth to all that tea because Beyonce is performing and tickets are going on sale baby!

Beyonce Headlining Coachella 2018

You see…that’s the other problem. Pre-sale tickets go on sale today at 11 a.m. Pacific time. So if you’re reading this… it’s too late (LOL sorry we couldn’t resist). Yet, really though if money is tight, payday is next week or you didn’t have enough time to beg the parentals to give you the gift that truly matters. Then you may not be getting into the biggest BeyHive party in the desert.

Nevertheless, you didn’t think we going to be all doom and gloom right? The Coachella advance sale means its payment plan time! If you purchase tickets now you can slowly pay for your Coachella experience over the course of the year.

The official festival payment plan consists of 7 total payments. You pay an initial payment and over the course of six months you pay off the final six. So basically you have from June (this month) till December to get things squared with Coachella. Make sense?

However, if you do choose to go the payment plan route be sure to make each payment on time. If you fail to do so your order will be cancelled and you will be charged a $50 fee. Yikes.

The payment plan is only offered during presale. So if you want in we suggest you act fast. Happy planning Beyonce and music fest lovers!

Natural Beauty: Drink Coconut Water for Beautiful Skin

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 30, 2017May 30, 2017Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Want in on a natural beauty secret that will help give you gorgeous skin? Yeah, we thought you might! All you have to do is drink up.

Natural Beauty: Drink Coconut Water for Beautiful Skin

Healthy skin is always the result of proper hydration. Nevertheless, most girls simply do not take in enough fluids. Therefore, break the cycle and give your skin the moisture it needs by consuming a nice size glass of unsweetened coconut water every single morning.

Coconut water is such a great tool in our natural beauty arsenal because of its numerous benefits. For one, it is chalk full of nutrients such as: potassium, Vitamin C, magnesium as well calcium. Moreover, coconut water also has anti-aging properties. Coconut water contains an anti-microbial known as lauric acid. This acid is capable of protecting skin against infection and helping to bring inflammation under control.

Lastly, coconut water is super low calorie option. One cup will only cost you about 44 calories. Plus, by drinking it you will not only help your skin, but will make your hair stronger too! More on that in an upcoming Hair Quickie.

Nevertheless, there are other things you can consume other than coconut water to hydrate your skin. At mealtime enjoy some olives, salmon, avocado and of course, coconut. These are all skin hydrating foods that will help make your skin healthier and more luminous.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 27, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Rihanna just seems to know how to speak fashion as well as lazy comfort. The iconic stylish risk taker has not yet failed in any of her shoe designs. From the constantly needing to be restocked Creepers to her Slides every last shoe has sold out. With a track record like that it is safe to say another best seller is here! Get ready to slide into summer with the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides from the Spring / Summer 2017 Collection.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides Spring / Summer 2017

The Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides are part child nostalgia and part ingenious design. Especially, when it comes to us girls. Yes, we love to torture our peds and ankles with heels that resemble medieval torture devices. However, at other times we just want a comfortable shoe to slide into and call it a day.

Case in point, the wild popularity of the UGG boot. Easy to put on, and a true gift from heaven for any relaxed, sweatpants/cramps from H-E double hockey sticks day. Jellies fall right into this wonderful category.

Fenty x Puma helped stir up even more excitement about the new jelly slides stating, “Introducing a new slide to the Fenty x Puma by Rihanna Collection. The Jelly Slide features a Puma logo on a textured, all over Jelly Strap and a whimsical diamond pattern outside.”

So far consumers who have purchased the jellies say that they love them. However, we have to agree it is a little fashionably depressing over the limited amount of colors available. So far you can get a pair in blue, black or pink.

Nevertheless, if the Fenty x Puma Jelly Slides sell well we are sure Rih with hit us with a round too of additional hues. So then, hang in there more is probably on the way. For now cop yourself a pair now for $90.

You Asked: HEY 1966! My question to you is about Kelly Rowland’s super cute outfit she had on during Beyonce’s push party. She look like an African goddess! I just love it and I think I saw who makes it. But you can tell me just in case lol! And I just would like to know how much it costs.

Ask and Tell: The Bombchel Kelly Rowland Custom Two Piece Set

The Verdict: Girl we do not blame you for wanting this fit! Kelly’s two piece set is gorgeous. As you may know Rowland’s ensemble is by Bombchel. The set is an instant hit ever since Kelly rocked it for the Carter push party which had an African theme.

Moreover, the look is so popular now that the fashion brand that makes it, renamed it! So if searching for it online you may see it being originally called the Pop Crop and Resort Life Skirt in Bombchel signature tie dye. However, if shopping at www.shopbombchel.com you will see it listed as Kelly Rowland’s Custom Two Piece Set because of it’s popularity. The set retails for $250.

Here’s a bit of a warning though. If you truly want this set you better act fast! Bombchel only has a very limited supply of this outfit left for sale. Hope that answered your fashion question!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Arianne Suggs May 26, 2017May 26, 2017Leave a Comment

Princess hair! Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for the Cannes 2017 Film Festival is elegant, sleek and tantalizing sophisticated. If you are looking for formal hair inspiration you just found it!

Black Hairstyles: Jasmine Sanders Braided Bun for Cannes 2017 Film Festival

Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie attended the ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer” red carpet event. Her luxurious blue floor length gown is by designer Ulyana Sergeenko, who has been a very popular choice this year at Cannes.

Sanders’ strands were pulled back into a beautiful braided bun. If recreating this look at home remember that the smoother you can get your hair in the front to lay, the more dramatic the braided chignon will look. Get tresses to submit by smoothing them with a pomade, gel (alcohol free) or edge control product. Next, spritz hairs with a light holding spray in order to make the hairstyle remain in place. Lastly, mist the style with a hair oil to give this hair look luminous sheen that will pop in any photo!

Beauty Notes: Jasmine’s hair is exquisite but we have to holler YASSS over her makeup look as well! L’Oreal makeup kindly shared the details on how Sanders look came together. The brand says that Jasmine’s makeup is all about keeping it natural. The “au natural” vibe is coming back en vogue in full force.

Therefore, to stay on trend for the season it is not about heavy contour. Just good old enhancement of your natural features. So want to give Jasmine’s look a spin? Here is the L’Oreal product cheat sheet!

Color Riche Les Ombres in Marron Glace
Lip Paint in Nudists – 209 – Nude on Fleek
Brow Xpert
Paradise Mascara
