ROBIN RIHANNA FENTY, YES GIRL YES

I think it's safe to say thefenty beauty line has been completely embraced worldwide, as rihanna has developed a line for all women, especially us brown girls. I have tested the fenty beauty line and my favorites quickly became the pro filt'r foundation and the gloss bomb.

The highlighters, I wasn't as pumped because I feel like there's so much high shine on the internet already. Although I'm not mad at the killawatt ginger binge / moscow mule shade because it's like an updated look for the darker skin tones.

Overall, I'd have to say the presentation of this coveted fenty beauty look won me over because I saw more complexions that could benefit. I didn't see as much crossover appeal with kim's line. The inclusion of a major market was really nice to see from fenty beauty. Not that she's the first to do it, but every generation needs someone who can create a spectrum.

#FENTYBEAUTY LOOK 1: THE TRADEMARK

I love this look, I was using the gloss bomb for daytime. It has this "Peach-vanilla" scent that's so delicious. I'd say this would be my #1 product when I want to create my go-to @swirlybae make up look.

GLOSS BOMB UNIVERSAL LIP LUMINIZER

I wanted to do a review on gloss bomb because I love a glossy lid and lip. I thought it was genius to have a major beauty product created in a universal tone. Because honestly, that spoke to me and it has so much significance. It says that across the board, we as women (and men) are all connected in some way, that we are all beautiful in our own way.

She's got everyone wearing one shade, when she could have made five or six. I just really love the rose nude hue. Recently I rocked it at a friend's wedding and I couldn't get enough of it! When I ordered this online, I got a cute postcard with a snapchat filter to unlock too!

For $18, I'd say this is truly worth the price. Compared to my favorite $28 marc jacobs enamored high-shine lip lacquer, it competes wonderfully. It's smooth, not too heavy, compact for a small clutch, and enough to last a whole season or two. Her products are built to magnetize and stick together which is so genius. And the best part is that this gloss brings out the natural color of your lips, I always put on lip liner then go over it with the luminizer. It's perfect.

#FENTYBEAUTY LOOK 2: THE 80'S BABE

I took it way back with another daytime out-and-about look that I love. This time I used a nude brown shade underneath the gloss to add a more matte effect. Sometimes I love to slick my hair back or to the side if I'm feeling vogue.

PRO FILT'R SOFT MATTE LONGWEAR FOUNDATION

I visted my good friend stephanie at my favorite sephora and she did a product test and gave me two sample shades to try! Everything in the store and online are currently sold out. So I decided to go home with 320 and 330. (riri is a 340 in case you're wondering!) the pro filt'r foundation is a liquid to powder formula, so there's four things you need to know:

Liquid to powder means that you need very little to medium amount. You'll start in the center of the face and work the product outward.
Shake the product before applying! Much of the formula settles at the bottom so you need to mix the ingredients to get the right shade.
When you test pro filt'r on your skin, apply on the forehead, jawline, and neck. Not your arm. This formula will oxidize so make sure you wait for it to dry to ensure a true match.
You'll want to go with a lighter shade first as the foundation dries about two shades darker!

Overall, I'd say this would be a great product for summer and warm weather, mainly because it looks great on oily to combination skin types. I probably wont wear it in the winter. But for $34, the price is fair if we're competing with other designer foundations. It's cruelty free, although if you have any allergies, please read the ingredients, it's got a ton of chemicals (which is typical) but just be cautious if you have sensitive skin. Side note: I noticed that it does dry differently than other formulas, so I make sure to moisturize the skin really well before applying!

#FENTYBEAUTY LOOK 3: GREEN & GOLDEN

For this look, I wanted to do a nighttime glam and show it in a normal snapchat filter. You can see that it matches my skin tone from the neck down. I'm wearing 330. It's very natural and blends easy!
