2017 Beauty Trend: Squiggly Brows – Will You Ride This Wave?

Arianne Suggs August 31, 2017August 31, 2017Leave a Comment

Uhm… what in the brows on fleek is going on? This week a spanking new beauty trend turned the makeup and cosmetics realms right on their respective heads. Literally, no one saw this coming and no one can quite figure out how it began. However, squiggly brows are here and they are taking over social media faster than a lightening strike. Have you seen these wavy eyebrows and are you brave enough to give it a world?

2017 Beauty Trend: Squiggly Brows – Will You Ride This Wave?

This newest eyebrow trend is starting to remind us of a popular candy commercial tagline. First they’re sour and then they’re sweet. When the squiggly brows trend first hit it was immediately taken as, “Issa no for me dawg.” Nevertheless, now thoughts on these brows are starting to be more mixed. Some still are not quite feeling them, while others find them sort of intriguing.

Squiggly Brows are exactly what you think. Instead of arched or slighted rounded shapes, these brows literally look like Richter scale readings. Ups and downs, hills and valleys.

In some ways this look has a very futuristic vibe. Like come 3017, makeup enthusiasts might be referring to these brows as classic and retro chic. However, as a now they feel more like girls got tired of playing with their baby hairs so now they have decided to play with other hair on their face.

Furthermore, in cases like these we always like to see how the masses truly feel about these uniquely bold trends. Here is what people are saying online right now:

“How y’all do this?? Amazing.”

“But why do I actually love them.”

“What is this.”

“Dem brows though.”

“Ew.”

“It’s actually really cute!”

“Why is this happening.”

“Do people brush their eyebrows that way??”

“Lmao.”

“Please tell me these ain’t real.”

“First feather brows and now this.”

“It lowkey looks cute on you.”

The Verdict: We are so happy to get your question because we too fell head over our Louboutins for this look as well! To answer your question, Lais Ribiero is rocking the DG Sheer Turtleneck Bodysuit.

VMAs 2017: Teyana Taylor Channels Janet Jackson-And Explains Why!

Arianne Suggs August 28, 2017August 28, 2017Leave a Comment

That’s the way her love goes. So did you catch it? Teyana Taylor channels Janet Jackson while attending the VMAs 2017 show looking a snack! TT had Ms. Jackson down right down to the fabulous abs. Nevertheless, for Teyana this look had way more significance than just being an epic, fab couture moment.

VMAs 2017: Teyana Taylor Channels Janet Jackson-And Explains Why

So why dress like Janet Jackon? Teyana answers the burning question of the night stating,

“Honored to receive the same award as my idol, Janet Jackson! Anyone that follows me knows I Stan for her. I chose this look because of Janet’s mindfulness of making a statement.

My ups and downs have been publicized since 15 and “underrated” was the word I chose to sum up how often all the work I put in is overlooked. Nothing personal just something for me to know I’m headed in the right direction! I named my first album “VII” because my mom always talked about it as the number of completion; and with my career, it took 7 years of working my ass off to finally get my album out and have people take me seriously as an artist, a woman.

It’s so easy for others to judge and criticize when they really don’t understand your journey. One who hasn’t experienced it, could never really understand the emotional roller coaster of an artist that’s so passionate about their work. That’s why I continuously strive to go harder everyday.

So I just want to give a HUGE thank you to the VMAs. As well as my supporters, Team Teyana [and] Neutch Nation. Who have been loyal to me since day 1! I love you guys dearly!”

2017 VMAs Fashion Recap – Our TOP 6 Looks of the Night

Arianne Suggs August 28, 2017August 28, 2017Leave a Comment

There were only six top looks of the night for the 2017 VMAs? In our very humble opinion… yes. The carpet was a bit of a bore and many of the fashions seen just did not grab us.

Now of course, this could of been because many of music’s heavy hitters were no where to be found. For instance, Look left and Beyonce, Blue, the Twins as well as Jay Z are clearly MIA. Look right and Rihanna is a no show. Heck, even a Kanye 80 minute speech became less likely to be seen than a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow.

Nevertheless, six celebs did fashionably bring it and we salute their couture essence. Who made our list? Might just be a few of your favorites too!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 25, 2017August 25, 2017Leave a Comment

We’ve waited. We’ve campaigned. Now the fruits of our labor is about to pay some serious cosmetic dividends. Pat yourselves on the back everyone because the people have spoken and prevailed. The Aaliyah for MAC collection is finally coming to fruition!

Beauty Insider: Aaliyah for MAC – Coming to Stores Summer 2018

She was truly More Than a Woman. On this day (August 25) many music fans mourn the loss of a beyond talented superstar who was gone way too soon. Aaliyah set beauty as well as fashion trends and set the bar in music high from her very first album. Her first single Back and Forth not only charted at number one, but showed it’s dominance by remaining there for four weeks.

Throughout her career Aaliyah continued to grow her influence as a trendsetter and extend the boundaries of her artistry into acting as well as modeling. Proving that she was not only a triple threat, but a force to be reckoned with the fashion as well as beauty industries.

Nevertheless, on a day of remembrance for Aaliyah MAC Cosmetics is giving her fans something to turn frowns upside down. The makeup brand announced online that after over a decade Aaliyah is finally getting a collaboration with MAC. Aaliyah for MAC is no longer a dream, it’s about to be an one in a million collection! The cosmetics brand confirmed the exciting news by stating,

“Aaliyah is truly one in a million – and unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and film inspires us all. Today we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the MAC Aaliyah collection. You made it happen! Stay tuned in 2018.”

Ask and Tell: Tyra Banks Wearing Fouad Sarkis Couture Gown

Arianne SuggsUpdated on August 25, 2017August 25, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Tyra Banks Wearing Fouad Sarkis Couture Gown. Tyra was spotted in the glamorous monochromatic design while backstage for AGT (America’s Got Talent).

You Asked: So much drama this season, have you been watching? I only watch for Tyra. Guess I’m having America’s Next Top Model withdrawals haha But here’s a picture of the dress she was wearing. Just want to know the designer behind her dress.

I’m normally not always feeling Tyra’s fashion, don’t get me wrong she’s beautiful!! But there’s just something about this dress. This time she got it right.

Ask and Tell: Tyra Banks Wearing Fouad Sarkis Couture Gown

The Verdict: Hey fashion spotter it was very nice chatting with you! Furthermore, we have to agree with you. While everyone is talking about Mel B. and Simon we too are stuck on auntie Ty Ty’s gown!

Therefore, let’s get to Tyra’s ensemble details. For the taping of America’s Got Talent Banks wore a floor length, black and white striped gown by Fouad Sarkis Couture. We love this dress not only because it is elegant and oozing of sophistication, but it’s design is wonderful for women who want to achieve a “slimming” effect with their fashion.

Remember when it comes to styling vertical stripes will create the illusion of being longer as well as leaner. As one can see, Fouad Sarkis Couture really understands the female body. Nevertheless, no outfit is complete without accessories. For her look Tyra chose to wear a stunning Black Pave Ring by Mahrukh Akuly Jewelry.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.
