We wanted Halle to reprise her role as Storm in Black Panther 2; but honestly, this is the next BEST thing. Oscar winner, Halle Berry Stars in Moonfall, a new action thriller film by the great Roland Emmerich! Yes, the man, the myth and legend behind such movies as: Independence Day (hey Will Smith); The Day After Tomorrow, The Patriot, Stargate, Midway and Godzilla (1998- yes the one with Diddy’s song Come With Me) just to name a few.
Now Emmerich has turned his attention towards a new adventure. Something he is all too familiar with… space and the ultimate as well as demise of all life on earth. Where do we sign?
Halle Berry Stars in Moonfall -New Roland Emmerich Action Thriller
Emmerich is making Moonfall along with movie studio, Lionsgate. The premise? We’re doomed (LOL). The Moon has always been our friend who lights up the night sky UNTIL… BOOM!! A mysterious force knocks it off it’s normal orbit sending it hurtling towards the earth!
Is this it? Can anything prevent this collision? With just literally weeks before the moon slams straight into our precious little world. A seemingly impossible mission is launched, catapulting a ragtag team into space to leave all that they love behind. They must risk EVERYHING and find a way to land on the moon in order to save our planet from annihilation before it is too late.
Dire? Oh yeah. Impossible, well you will just have to watch the movie to find out. Nevertheless, how does Halle Berry come into all of this? Well, word on the entertainments streets is that Berry’s character is an astronaut turned NASA administrator whose previous mission holds a clue to the castastrophe. So the plot thickens.
Halle is so far set to star opposite actor, Josh Gad. Gad is a scientist who first discovers that something is majorly off with the moon’s course. Thus, making him one of the very important people on the earth during the film.
When Can Moonfall Be Expected?
Believe it or not, Moonfall has actually been in development for years. Say what?! Yep… try four years to be exact. Development began back in 2016; however, Emmerich’s commitments to Midway (the war movie that reached number one in the U.S. box office); helped put Moonfall on the “backlot” back burner.
Nevertheless, all of that is about to change. Emmerich can now turn his full attention and expertise to Moonfall. Therefore, that just leaves the question, when will production begin? Well, given the pandemic things are still a little sketchy. Quarantine and stay home orders will need to be lifted first. As a result, the goal for now is for production to begin this fall.

The Teyana Taylor Bare Wit Me music video just hits different! In a topsy turvy year, TT manages to give 2020 something to talk about in the realm of music. Her new visuals went VIRAL in a matter minutes, as fans debated whether Teyana is giving off more Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson vibes.
To be clear, the answer is both (Lol). Bare Wit Me easily jolts the mind back to the good ol’ days of MJ’s Smooth Criminal; as well as Janet’s Alright and I Get So Lonely music videos. We even had a few on our Instagram page say that the actual song reminds them of Aaliyah as well.
Aaliyah, well known for her whispering vocals, dancing and smooth R&B flair; we could also unbiasedly see the connection. However, the aspect that many can’t stop talking about is Teyana’s dancing. She hit EVERYTHING, cold and precisely. That kind of precision is what we’re used to seeing from the likes of Janet and the King of Pop.
Teyana Taylor Bare Wit Me -New Video and The Album!
Nevertheless, many have tried to mimic the style of music’s first family… but not everyone can do it and give their signature moves justice. Unless you’re the likes of Ciara, Chris Brown or Usher; well, come have a seat with the rest of us mortals. We love you, but the Jackson Moves Club can’t hold everybody.
Which is why Teyana’s latest is such an APPEAL. One of the most “underrated” artists by far in the game; can not only keep up with the greats but seriously looks like she has the potential to be ONE of them. It’s what we would call “talent.” An attribute that is often missing nowadays. Unfortunately.
But the love for Teyana is steadily pouring in. Here’s what some are saying:
“KILLIN!!!!!!!!!!! Brava!” -Jill Scott
“U BETTA MICHAEL!!” -Rah Digga
“MURDERED THIS.” -Chloe x Halle
“I watched this like 20 times. I have it on my phone but it hit different when it’s on IG lol.” -Iman Shumpert
“Here for this.” -Shaun Ross
“Go off sis.” -Tinashe
[Fire emojis] -Kandi Burress
Bare Wit Me- See It To Believe It
Bare Wit Me is a single from Teyana’s upcoming release, THE ALBUM. Already Highly anticipated; and this music video sneak peek is only heightening interest! Have you seen it? If not, check it out below or enjoy it all over again (we’ve probably watched it 561 times LOL):
As fans count down the days till THE ALBUM’s arrival (June 2020) it will be fun as well as interesting to see what else Teyana drops to get the masses ready for her album. If this is any of idea what we all can expect; then we foresee Taylor becoming one of the big acts and Artists of 2020!

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!

Started at Sephora and now we here! Yes, makeup loves Fenty Beauty Brow MVP started as a “not so secret” cosmetics rumor at a recent Sephora event held in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, now the official first looks of this new Rihanna makeup product is here; and trust us… it is going to COMPLETELY transform for your makeup!
Fenty Beauty Brow MVP -Transform Your Look in Seconds!
What’s new? The design Baby Girl, you HAVE TO get into this brow product’s design! It’s a dual ended Brow Pencil that makes shaping and defining your eyebrows a cinch.
Seriously, quicker than you can say, “Draw me like one of your French girls Jack;” Brow MVP whips your eyebrows into high gear. How? First of all, magic lies within the pencil itself. It is self-sharpening.
While that in itself may not seem like a big butt deal, in makeup creation it is. You see, as a pencil continues to be used it effects the tip. In a couple of uses you can go from perfection, to omg what happened?! Moreover, the tip is everything, it’s how you make lines look cleaner and more defined.
Self sharpening products rock because they help prevent application issues. Since as with use, the tip tends to get too fat to make a thin line. Furthermore, when it comes to Brow shaping for the most natural looking finish you need precision. Precise, thin strokes that resemble actual Brow hair. Without the self-sharpening feature one would have to constantly use a sharpener in order to consistently get the same great results.
The Fenty Beauty Brow MVP accomplishes this without you even having to think about it. No fat tips! Brow MVP gives you a sharp edge to work with, each and every time. PLUS… this means less makeup equipment is needed, saving you time and money.
No need to invest in eyebrow pencil sharpener because Rihanna’s brow pencil is well-designed to give you the “sharp” look you crave. That’s one of the reasons it’s the MVP (insert cheers and applause).
Fenty Beauty Brow MVP – “Brushing Up” on Technique
Moving on to a few other features we love about this amazing product; let’s talk about that brush honey child! Like… leave it Rih to come with an ACTUAL brush, brush.
With eyebrow pencils most of us are probably use to the kind that is just one row of bristles; OR the kind that resembles an eyelash separation comb tool. Heck, some of us are still out here doing the most with a toothbrush (and we feel no shame lol). Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be Rihanna to just hop on the already non-innovative eyebrow pencil train. She’s extra, and my gawd do we all love her for it!
Her mini brush design will not miss a hair, as you brush your brow hairs into the desired look. Nonetheless, why is a brow brush important in the first place? Brow brushes help to tame and shape your eyebrows.
Why Use a Brow Brush When Shaping
Works the same as an actual hair brush would. When you brush your hair you are able to “tame” strands in order to create a particular style. Brow brushes accomplish the same result. Moreover, regardless, if your brows are thicker than a snicker or super thin a brush will help your brows look 10x better.
For instance, when you take a closer look into current eyebrow trends; you will notice that full brows are all the rage. So then, a trick to creating the illusion of big, hard-not-notice brows is to brush them upward. On the other hand, if your hairs are a little too long and lean looking, you can easily trim them up by snipping the excess hair after brushing them down.
Moreover, some other eyebrow brush tips that we picked up from our makeup pro buddies is to:
• Brush all hairs upward with an eyebrow grooming brush, then use tiny scissors to trim any tips that stick out.
• After brushing hairs up, take a slanted tweezer and pluck strays from beneath your brow to help elongate and slim the face.
The Secret is Out… Get Rihanna’s Eyebrow Look!
Want brows like Rihanna? Well, now you can! Her personal makeup artist and global Fenty Beauty ambassador, Priscilla Ono; gave up all the beauty intel! Ono reveals,
“Fun fact, for Rihanna’s brows she actually likes to use two colors. She does a slightly darker color at the very end of her brow and then a lighter color on the beginning of the brow so it gives this ombre effect.
This was really a labor of love for Rihanna. She really wanted to make sure we were inclusive not only on skin, but also for brow.”
Got it? Now you may be wondering why you should use two different eyebrow pencil colors instead of one. We actually was wondering the same thing too. The verdict? Using 2 different shades helps add dimension the same way highlights work to break up hair color.
Pretty cool right? Nevertheless, Ono is a wealth of makeup knowledge besides knowing how to highlight your brows properly. She also knows how YOU will be able to get the most beautiful results from Brow MVP! In a demonstration Ono suggests:
• Warming up the product on the back of your hand so the color delivers evenly immediately.
•Also, for a pro level look remember to brush the hairs upwards.
•Lastly, do not allow the look of the brow to intimidate you. Since this tool is unlike your typical spoolie on the ends of most brow products it will still help deliver the same gentle results!
Brow MVP literally comes with a real looking brush that looks like a hair brush that’s been shrunk down for our using pleasure.
BONUS: Check out more on what Ono had to say below!
THE MOST Important Feature of Fenty Beauty Brow MVP
Besides, all of the cool design features that are apart of this launch; the most important part CANNOT be ignored… the colors! Yes, babes this product has some SERIOUS range. As our previous exclusive on this brow pencil by Rihanna mentioned; Brow MVP is dropping with an impressive 14 shades availability.
Why is this so outstanding? For one thing, eyebrows come in more tones than just the typical or usual Brow product colors; dark brown or black. Like Foundation, Rihanna is pushing the boundary forward when it comes to eyebrow pencil hues.
Now whether you have black hair, brown hair or are a blonde; or a redhead. Within Fenty Beauty’s range you can locate a shade that matches better to your natural eyebrow color. For a natural looking match, means a natural looking finish.
Okay… So… Now What?
After this cool release the question still remains, okay so what’s next? Rihanna has been successfully and systematically releasing cosmetics for every area of the face. Us fans are loving EVERYTHING and the proof is in the numbers.
As of now Fenty is kicking butt and taking makeup names by:
• The Fenty Effect: 500 million euros. That figure represents the sales generated by Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty range in its first full year in business, LVMH reported during February 2019.
• Forbes reported that following 15 months of operation, in 2018, Fenty Beauty accumulated US$570 million in revenue.
• Time Magazine named their Most Genius Companies of 2018, and recognized Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty.
• When the brand debuted in September 2017 it causally made $72 million in one month.
As one can see, it is clear that Rihanna gets and understands her makeup market. They cry out for Hydrating Foundation; and BOOM she gives it to them. Nevertheless, what is the latest demand?
Mascara. Rihanna is definitely giving the people what they want when it comes to foundation, lip color, eye shadow and now brow pencils. However, eyelashes are the new frontier for the Fenty Beauty brand. It’s uncharted waters if you will. However, it is a piece that NEEDS to be apart of the Fenty Beauty rolodex.
We Have a Dream… for Lashes Rihanna!
Okay. So in our perfect beauty realm this is what WE hope to see next. Mascara that gives lashes an intense volume, plus longer length look. A product that will be good for us fake eyelash challenged girls (uhm… hello over here lol).
Moreover, falsies still reign supreme, so Rihanna might as well as drop those too! It would be REALLY awesome if she releases mascara and false eyelashes at the same time. That way no matter which way someone swings that can buy the lash product that suits them the most.
Additionally, she could name her falsies after her songs or image. Like imagine stepping out for a night on the town in some lashes called: Savage, Diamonds (and they come with actual sparkle Ahhhh! lol); Pon de Replay, California King Bed, Badgal, What’s My Name?; Umbrellas, Work, S.O.S. ; Anti, Russian Roulette or Rehab. Can you say fire?
We are just spit balling here, but as you can easily see, eye lash products could be a cool wave for Fenty Beauty to ride. As we await to see if any of the above comes to fruition; we will just happily buy, use and celebrate what’s already here.
The Final Word
Fenty Beauty Brow MVP already looks and feels like a winner. By the way, Brow MVP actually has a WAY LONGER official name. It is called the Fenty Beauty Brow MVP Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler. Whew! Try saying that five times fast.
Yet, before we go it would be highly rude if we left before discussing price. So let’s! According to luxury retailer Harvey Nichols, Brow MVP will come in at a price tag of £17. In dollars that will be $20. A price that is still quite affordable in terms of makeup.
Nevertheless, are you ready to get your hands on one? Be sure to act fast when it drops on August 23rd at fentybeauty.com, Sephora and Harvey Nichols.
Rihanna still has her peddle on the metal as she drives Fenty Beauty to newer heights! While everyone thought Rih was still partying it up in Barbados at this year’s Cropover festival; this business mogul had other plans! In a surprise appearance Miss Fenty hit the scene at a Sephora event in Las Vegas, Nevada; AND dropped a bomb announcement about new Fenty Beauty makeup products being on the way! Hold onto your brow hairs dolls because Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler is coming!
Proof This Brow Product Is Really Happening!
Some people snatch our edges; but Rihanna snatches our eyebrows clear OFF! Yes, the next generation of Fenty Beauty is moving into the brow shaping and defining products arena.
Okay guys, so here’s what we know. While no official imagery, visuals or announcements have been made; the smoking gun came from Rihanna herself. In Vegas, at the Sephora’s Store Leadership Conference; Badgalriri had this to say,
“I was not gonna come all the way to Vegas empty handed. So we’re gonna give you guys an exclusive sneak peek of one of the next products coming out—the very next product coming out.”
What was the sneak peek? Brow pencils! Attendees were treated to an exclusive video showing the new Fenty Beauty cosmetics item coming down the pipeline. In the video the Brow Pencils were named, “Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler.”
Rihanna surprised the Sephora Store Leasership Conference in Vegas and gave them a sneak peak of a product dropping 8/23! pic.twitter.com/VHxypTloxQ
For the last several years brows have become BIG business, seeing a major influx of brow creation products hitting the market. Especially, for those who like the permanent brow makeup look (think very separated, defined, microblading finish). Nevertheless, Rihanna is continuing to follow her usual success formula when it comes to her amazing cosmetics; which is: Ensure everyone is covered. How will she accomplish this with her new brow items?
Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler -Brows Will Be Savage
For one thing, there will be plenty of shade options. In terms of eyebrow pencils this is HUMONGOUS news. Usually, with many brands there are only 4-5 MAIN eyebrow tones that can be purchased. We’re sure you have noticed the shortage of colors too in your makeup search.
Right now most companies will offer a typical brown, light brown, darker brown and a black. That poses a problem because everyone’s skin tone and especially eyebrow hair color; is not going to be able to be squeezed to fit four or five colors. It’s just impossible.
Plus, that is not how you create a natural looking brow anyway. We asked all of our Pro makeup artist experts to weigh in; and they all said the same thing. For more natural looking eyebrows when using pencil you want to go up just ONE shade lighter than your natural brow hair color. Just so the ending result does not look “harsh.” This poses a problem IF there is not a suitable color available to do this beauty tip.
However, recently there have been exceptions. There are companies working hard to fill this makeup need. For instance, NYX brow pencils came in at least 8 shades and at a price point many can easily afford. Also, the king brand of brows, Benefit currently has a brow pencil lineup of 12 hues.
Furthermore, small color range shouldn’t really surprise anyone. Literally, it is the same problem that went on for decades when it came to Foundation. Not every color, or selection fit everyone. Your choices were go ashy, bare face/natural or mix different ones up in your bathroom like a mad scientist. Bleak.
Brow Game Changer -Product Details!
That is until Rihanna came and changed the game. Now other brands are rushing to create more “inclusive” tones in order to bring in the sales. Nevertheless, now Rihanna is set to cause the same revolution in the brow realm.
Her Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Pencil and Styler will come in over ten shades. To be exact in a promo teaser from Rihanna’s surprise Las Vegas visit; it reveals a total of 14 shades! A range quite unheard of in the industry.
Forget the days of having to settle for jet black eyebrows. Blondes, redheads, brunettes, raven black tone hair persons and everyone in-between will be able to enjoy Brow colors more suited to them.
Plus, the design of her pencils are literally exactly what you want when creating the perfect brow. For example, if you were using a makeup brush to create your eyebrow look; you would want to use an angled brush. That is because it will give you more control when creating nice clean strokes.
However, Fenty Beauty’s design is like the angled brush and brow color in one! A close view showcases Rihanna’s pencil with an angled tip. The pencil also looks to be “self-sharpening” so you can expect a great finish every time.
Plus, that means less work for you. Since who us really enjoys always having to keep a pencil sharpener around? Self-sharpening is the way to go and any company willing to make our beauty lives easier; we’re totally down with them and completely FINE handing over our coins.
Additionally, this Fenty Beauty Eyebrow Pencil will not be some big ol’ uncontrollable crayon. The sleek, thinner design will give you extra control whether you are holding it with your entire hand; or between a few fingers.
As one can see, Robyn continues to be innovative in how see expands her beauty empire. Design, efficiency, ease of use and of course; inclusiveness continues to be the main focus of her products.
Buying Options
Nevertheless, when can Fenty Beauty fans expect to get their hands on the new eyebrow pencils? Well, the wait will not be long at all. They are dropping this month!

Brow Tips
Since Rihanna’s Brow Pencil is coming we thought we would share a few tips in order to help your brow game be even more on point! Have you ever wondered how to choose the RIGHT eyebrow pencil color? Well, you’re going to learn today! These tips are from actual industry MUAs. Enjoy!
1966 Questions: Help us! How do you choose the right eyebrow pencil color?
“1966 good question, only with brow gels would you use the same color as your eyebrows. With brow pencils, it’s a little different. You want to go one shade lighter because you want the look to be softer.
Ever seen those innocent souls with very severe looking brows? Like my heart goes out to them! Everyone notices but not in a good way. Avoid that.
When you’re drawing the illusion of hair, it will always look unnatural if the pencil is darker or as dark as your hair. The lighter color gives it the dimension it needs.”
1966 Questions: Why do you use a particular color?
“I personally like to use a pencil shade 1-2 shades lighter than my client’s actual natural hair color. It helps the eyebrow I create look more defined.”
1966 Questions: Can a person just use the hair on their head as a guide?
“I always say that the best brows are very close to your natural hair color. Not exact, but close.
Like look at redheads, are their eyebrows red? Their brows always look amazing with auburn or a hint of light brown. Or some with dark black hair actually have deep brown brows. So don’t get hung up on your hair color. You won’t get a natural look that way.”
There is soooo much new beauty on the way it is making our makeup bags zipper refuse to close! With Rihanna releasing a new hydrating foundation, Milk Makeup giving us a flexing foundation stick; AND Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation hitting the scene; makeup lovers are definitely living their best life! But hold up, wait a minute, Isabella is about to step up in it! Yes, loves Zoe Kravitz is about to drop the spanking new YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection in just a few weeks.
How our girl held this secret this entire time, we do not know. However, the secret is officially out the garden and we are only too glad to help spread it. In a VERY short (and we do mean short) video; Zoe teased fans with the collection.
The video did not reveal any products (for maybe the exception of one; read on to find out). So exact products to be expected is still unfortunately mainly up in the air. HOWEVER, the visuals did show Kravitz in a lab “cooking up” some newness.
Therefore, while there is no real product item reveals; there is a firm confirmation that the collection is not a figment of beauty imagination. It is happening and coins need to be spared and ready.
YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection-Kravitz is Entering the Beauty Industry
This match up between the luxury brand and Zoe Kravitz comes as no surprise. For quite some time the Big Little Lies actress and singer has been the face of the label. Appearing in numerous ad campaigns as well as on and in magazines wearing various YSL designs. Even for the Met Gala’s yearly soirée; arguably fashion’s biggest night; Kravitz has donned a Saint Laurent design.
Therefore, this is a pairing that certainly works well together. Moreover, it is exciting to see what exactly is on the way from this collaborative effort. For one thing we are definitely thinking red.
Why? Going back to the promo video; Zoe is busily mixing up pots of red color formulations. ALSO, check out and zero in on her lips. BOOM! Decadent, red, in-your-face, better have my money lip color! Lol.
Or if you just look to the bottom right of the video. Yes, do it! lol. You will see a couple of rouge tone lipsticks just hanging out.
As of now, that is the only real indicator of possible makeup products. However, it is still enough to easily place us in a makeup frenzy. Therefore, fellow makeup addicts; be on the lookout for the YSL and Zoe Kravitz collection drop on September 1st.
