Tom Ford Cardi Lipstick – Smoking Blue From the Boys and Girls Collection

Arianne September 10, 2018September 10, 2018

Yep… you have to be quicker than that. If you were among the thousands of beauty hopefuls wishing upon a makeup star to get the new Tom Ford Cardi Lipstick; most likely, it is still unfortunately just a wish. The Cardi B cosmetics collaboration with iconic fashion designer, Tom Ford, literally sold out in a blink of an eye.

The popularity of Cardi’s release comes as no surprise. The hip hop star and now most streamed female rapper of all time also enjoyed much attention for her couture collab with Steve Madden. A line that consisted of fabulous curated styles straight from the top footwear brand. Since fashion was such a hit, it makes sense that Cardi B would try and extend her hands into beauty.

Tom Ford Cardi Lipstick – Smoking Blue From the Boys and Girls Collection

Nevertheless, the color of Cardi’s lipstick is also well-timed. With blue lipsticks not really being seen since the beginning of the year, Cardi’s blue hue lippy was certainly a fresh breath of air. An electric blue shade with an ultra sultry, smooth finish thanks to a creamy ingredient mix of: Chamomilla Flower Extract and Brazilian Murumuru Butter.

Other than a recent sighting on Janet Jackson in promotion of her Made For Now single, the lip tint was acting more like an unicorn. Rarely seen. Yet, Tom Ford and Cardi B is bringing it back to the fore and are flaunting it proudly. The Cardi lipstick is apart of the Tom Ford Boys and Girls Collection and the luxury brand says the reason Ford created the lip line is because:

“To Tom Ford, there is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip. It is the focus of the face and it has the power to define a woman’s whole look. The collection showcases a decadent wardrobe of 50 rich, vivacious, sensuous shades; that influence a mood and transform an entire look for maximum impact.”

Furthermore, each color in the collection represents a woman that Tom Ford admires. For instance, you will also find lipsticks with names such as: Letitia, Cindy, Jessica and Kaia. You may be able to guess who those colors belong too. Nonetheless, each lipstick retails for $36 each. However, so far there is no word on a restock on Cardi. Sorry peeps.

This just in… Janet Jackson Covers InStyle October 2018 issue! For the edition Ms. Jackson is addressing her thoughts on beauty as well as her equally as famous fambam. Regarding the edition InStyle magazine reveals:

“After all these years the luminous Janet Jackson is still our girl crush – and the cover star of our October beauty issue! What does she think makes a woman beautiful? ‘It’s vulnerability. It’s power… confidence … happiness… being selfless and what you do for others before doing for yourself,’ she tells Laura Brown.

Janet opens up about life as a mom and an entertainer; beauty, and what it was really like growing up [a] Jackson.”

Beautiful Black Women: Janet Jackson Covers InStyle October 2018 Issue

Janet seems to have always had plenty of confidence. From belting out her hits in front of thousands night after night; to having the ability to follow the toughest act in music, her big bro Michael Jackson… and succeed; while breaking numerous records in her own right.

Nonetheless, for the October 2018 edition of InStyle Jackson shares the moment she finally had her “Aha” confidence moment. In a sneak peek of their exclusive InStyle states:

“The first time Janet Jackson truly felt sexy and confident wasn’t until she was well into her 30s. ‘I got out of a funky relationship and finally got back to me,’ she opens up to Laura Brown in our October beauty issue.

‘I went to therapy, which was all about finding that thing you like about yourself. The realization that, you know what; you’re not so bad after all. I’m not saying you’re great or you’re the best; but it’s not as bad as you were made to feel that it was.’

How did she overcome some of her biggest insecurities? ‘A lot of it has to do with experience, getting older. Understanding, realizing that there isn’t just one thing that is considered beautiful. Beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.’ Amen to that. Full interview [online].”

Rihanna for Garage Magazine The Human Future -Issue 15 by Deana Lawson

ArianneUpdated on September 4, 2018September 4, 2018

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.
