Diamond Bomb as well as Body Lava are already well known for their sparkling attributes. But do you know WHY they are so effective? Well, we are about to tell ya! First off, we will start with Fenty Beauty’s Body Lava Luminizer. The cosmetics brand reveals that it is,

“The ultimate gel-based body luminizer that veils skin in a gloriously dewy, high-shine finish—now in an all-new, limited-edition copper shade COGNAC CANDY, plus the two cult-favorites you know and love, WHO NEEDS CLOTHES?! and BROWN SUGAR.

That post-vacay glow is now yours year-round with this smooth, gel-based body luminizer that glides on and leaves skin feeling dewy to the touch. Get ready to bathe your skin in a gloriously high-shine finish that does to your body what highlighter does to your cheekbones.

 

 

Celebrate the look and feel of glistening skin after a day of island hopping. Light-diffusing micropearls blended with a sheer tint of color accentuate all skin tones for a silky, sun-soaked sheen any time of the year. Strip down in WHO NEEDS CLOTHES?!, a radiant rose gold; glow hard in BROWN SUGAR, a lustrous bronze, or light up in limited-edition COGNAC CANDY; a sparkling copper. Delivered in a generously sized bottle; Body Lava’s ultimate drenched-in-light radiance—plus its addictive floral vanilla scent—was born to dew your body right.”

Fenty Beauty Cognac Candy Body Lava + Diamond Bomb -More of the Details

Absolutely, bomb right? Well, we never EVER forget when we first tried out Body Lava. Literally, one swipe and our skin seriously GLOWED! It was beautiful and the bottle size will last you for a LONG time. Making it well worth the price tag.

Nevertheless, ready to move on to the fantastic benefits of Diamond Bomb? Let’s! In regards to this product Fenty Beauty says,

“[It’s] an one-of-a-kind diamond-dusted highlighter that applies like a 3D glittering veil, delivering pure, show-stopping sparkle all over the face and body.

Ice yourself in insane diamond-dusted sparkle. Diamond Bomb takes glitter to a whole new extreme in a shimmering 3D formula that’ll leave your face and body crystal-coated, the way only Rihanna knows how.

 

 

This highlighter features a unique jelly-powder formula that’s bouncy, cool to the touch, and melts into skin like butter. It’s loaded with 100% pure brilliance to create an all-glitz-no-grit finish that decks out every skin tone. Look and feel like a million bucks in cult-favorite shade How Many Carats?!, a pure platinum sparkle, or blaze up in limited-edition Cognac Candy, a pure copper sparkle. All of this glittery goodness even comes in a faceted jewel-like compact you’ll never want to put down.”

The Inspiration Behind Diamond Bomb and Body Lava

 

 

As you can see, these new Fenty Beauty Cognac Candy tone products are sure to give you natural, sun kissed glow! BUT DID YOU KNOW… Rihanna was deeply inspired to create both Diamond Glow and Body Lava? What influenced her? In short, her own personal fashion as well as the allure of light itself. Read her actual quotes below!

“It makes you look like you’re dripping in light—there’s nothing else like it. With a body veil like this, who needs clothes?!” – Rihanna on Body Lava Illuminizer

“You can never have enough diamonds! This is the closest thing to bathing in it. The sparkle in this is just insane!” – Rihanna, on Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil, which was inspired by the crystal dress Rihanna rocked at CFDA 2014.

Fenty Beauty Cognac Candy Body Lava + Diamond Bomb -What Else to Love

What we love about these products is the COLOR! Rihanna added yet another stunning shade to her popular lineup of products. Cognac is rich, warm coppery shade that will look gorgeous on a large range of skin tones. Just look at these swatches!

Furthermore, REAL Cognac is super expensive because it’s such a high quality and being a long complicated process to manufacture. So in a sense, it’s like Rihanna is saying that she wants our skin to look super expensive AND as delicious as candy. People… we have no choice but to Stan.

The Budget -Getting Real With the Price

New releases are great, but in these times, let’s be honest they can be kind of tough. Sometimes it can be hard to justify a purchase when there is necessities to think about. However, Rihanna thought ahead.

Right now Cognac Candy Body Lava is retailing for $59, while the Diamond Bomb version is sitting at a price point of $39. Paying straight out for those may not be in the budget right, but Fenty Beauty does offer After Pay.

 

 

For instance, want the Diamond Bomb item? All you have to do is just make a one payment every month that will total less than $10. For just 4 payments of $9.75 it can be apart of your makeup bag.

What about the Body Lava? You will have to pay out about $5 more a month. With 4 payments of $14.75 you can soon be slathering your body in coppery goodness.

Best part? There’s no interest! You won’t have to pay extra every month. Each payment is interest free. So then, get yours on March 20th at Fentybeauty.com, HarveryNichols.com , SEPHORA and Sephora at JCP.

Fenty Beauty Flypencil -Rihanna’s First Pencil Eyeliner in 20 Shades!

Updated on

Fenty Beauty Flypencil

In our loudest DJ Khaled voice, “And another one!” Rihanna is still stepping on the neck of the beauty industry with the second release of the new decade for Fenty Beauty! The Fenty Beauty Flypencil is the cosmetics brand’s FIRST EVER pencil eyeliner release.

It is coming in strong with over 15 different tones AND a sleek design that will enable any user to get a perfect application. How? Simple. Let us tell you all about it!

Fenty Beauty Flypencil -Rihanna’s First Pencil Eyeliner in 20 Shades

 

 

First of all let’s talk texture. Which is an extremely important aspect when it comes to beauty applications. If a product is rough or too dry, it is very hard to be precise. There’s just too much drag.

Beat physics with the help of Flypencil. Rihanna designed her eye pencil to have a smooth formulation. So that it will glide easily where you want to place it.

Furthermore, a creamy texture also helps when it comes to blending. With Flypencil you will not have to struggle with getting it to fade into a gorgeous finish. Blending will be a cinch; also, you will still not have to worry about resembling a raccoon. Due to the that Fenty Beauty’s pencil has amazing staying power.

 

Fenty Beauty Flypencil

 

Which brings us to our next point and awesome feature of this new product… it’s smudge proof baby! Yes and Amen! There is absolutely nothing worse than running liner. So then, no worrying because your makeup looks will LAST and stay in line all day. Thanks to Flypencil being water resistant and longwear. A real blessing for those who are very active (hello gym rats and BOSS ladies);  or are the type that hates to reapply constantly throughout the day.

 

Fenty Beauty Flypencil -Rihanna’s Big Reveal!

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods-The Most Unique Neutral Lipcolor EVER!

Updated on

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods

So are y’all ready to “fall” into some new lip colors!? Melt is bringing the heat from summer on into the autumn season with their newest MAJOR release. Prepare the coins for this one dolls… Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods — is a liquid lipstick inspired by the undertones found in makeup foundations; in order to give your lips a finish like they have never experienced before!

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods-The Most Unique Neutral Lipcolor EVER

If we’ve said it once, we’ll say it again; Undertones is the new black! While for decades liquid lipstick has been mainly about two things: matte or shine. Liquid lip color is now moving into a new era.

The company leading the charge? It’s the good people and innovators over at Melt. What is so awesome is that for this release, they truly stepped outside of the typical lipstick box.

No gimmicks. No let’s just slap sparkle in it formula. Just a real creative look into how to reimagine neutral tones.

Before, we get into the innovative part, let’s talk what you can expect. First of all, it is 5 new dope colors to add to your makeup lip arsenal. What are the shades? There are (BTW these descriptions are straight from Melt Cosmetics):

  • Golden– A warm beige with an olive-yellow undertone. We love how versatile Golden is! You can add her to the center of your lip over a darker color, like Chestnut to add dimension to the lips; and make them look fuller. Or wear her alone for a quick no fuss lip.
  • Fawn– Medium almond with a cool undertone. We love this unique toned lipstick. She’ll add a little edge to any look.
  • Ginger– Vibrant rusty red-brown with a warm neutral undertone. Adding a little spice… We’re preparing for fall early and our Undertone Nood in Ginger might just be our go-to autumn lip!
  • Chestnut– A rich sable brown with a golden undertone. Who doesn’t love a good chocolate brown liquid lip! Chestnut is the perfect brown for all skin tones!
  • Ebony– A robust deep espresso with a cool undertone. We’re really feeling dark liquid lips in this summer heat. Dark lips are the new bold lip.

Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods

Send Noods… To Your Makeup Bags!

As one can see, these tones are PERFECT for the fall season. They harmonize gorgeously with what people normally expect to see during autumn. Think of the colors that come to mind as leaves are changing colors.

The browns, the coppers, auburn, burnt orange and warm charcoal. All the colors that make you want to pull out a sweater, cuddle up in a blanket and drink something; anything, with some pumpkin in it.

These new Melt Undertone Noods are sure to look AMAZING with all your fall OOTDs. Moreover, if you wish to stop playing and just go head and get all 5 new colors. You can.

Melt Cosmetics is offering a nifty little box set (you know, that coveted PR Box); of all 5 Undertone Noods. The cost? Currently, you can your hands on one for just $65. Not bad in terms of box makeup prices. Nonetheless, as promised we’ll now get into why this release is different from other ones currently on the market. Leggo!

Undertone Noods -Facts on Facts

In makeup neutrals are amazing; because it allows you to go straight up dramatic on other parts of your face, while not having an all out competition going on all over. For instance, if you are playing up your eyes; you can keep things nice and simple with a flesh tone lip. Aka… a nude or “neutral” lip.

The issue… is that the neutral, nude lip for YEARS only came in one hue; beige. This left out a TON of people who do not fall into that category. If you were darker you ran the risk of looking like a famous Dave Chappelle character; (we’re sure you can guess which one, if not, Google; trust it won’t be hard lol).

Nevertheless, like Foundation, neutral lip colors are also gradually taking a turn for the better. Foundations ranges that used to be smaller are finally growing larger. Thanks to cosmetics leaders such as Fenty Beauty, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Iman Cosmetics and Makeup Forever “inclusion” is at an all time high.

Which is why these new Melt liquid lipsticks are so exciting! They are literally taking their cue from the expansive  and inclusive foundation range revolution! How?

To start, we’ll allow the brand itself to give you some key facts and inspiration deets about their Undertone Noods lipstick. Melt Cosmetics reveals,

“They’re live! Come grab your Noods! Undertone Noods. Inspired by the distinct undertones of foundation; a range of Liquid Set Lipsticks in warm, neutral, cool and olive shades. These are not your typical neutrals; these are the Undertone Noods. We can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on [these]!”

Want a better peek at this lineup? Check out our quick beauty trailer below!

Undertone Noods Facts Continued

Got that? Undertones, they actually care about our undertones people! How important is it to give consideration to undertones in makeup? Uhm… try, it’s like everything! It is as simple as this: If you REALLY want to make your skin glow, smile sparkle and also your eyes pop; then you MUST use cosmetics that compliment not only your skin tone; but undertone as well.

Not really sure what undertone means? Well, undertone basically is the subdued color underneath your skin’s surface. It is an underlying color. Moreover, it doesn’t matter what your skin color is you also possess an undertone. And it is either cool, warm or neutral. It is normally broken down like this:

  • Cool -pink, red or bluish
  • Warm– yellow, peachy, golden undertones
  • Neutral- a mix of warm and cool undertones

Furthermore, the magic of all of this is a gorgeous look to your makeup. Since when your makeup look matches both your skin color and your undertone; there is no way you can’t achieve a beautiful result!

Therefore, a lip product that plays off all of this; is one that is trying to give you a fabulous lip look. Pretty cool right? We thought so too. Nevertheless, we digress, so then let’s get to price.

How Much for Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods?

As mentioned before you can get all 5 Melt Noods for just $65. But, they are also available a la carte. Each Melt Cosmetics Undertone Noods currently retails for $19. Happy shopping everyone!

HEY YOU! Money a little tight? Relax, it happens! Nevertheless, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this launch! Melt Cosmetics offers Sezzle! Sezzle makes it possible to pay in installments; instead of the full price right off the bat. For example, since their Noods is $19; YOU only pay 4 interest-free payments of $4.75! So girl go ahead and get your lipstick on, you know you want to!

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler
Beauty

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler -Brows Will Be Savage!

Updated on

 

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler

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.”

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!

Fenty Beauty Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler

 

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.

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.”

Updated on

YSL Beauty x Zoe Collection

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.
