Is Fenty Body Lava Worth Your Coin?

Oyinkan

I finally got my hands on the Fenty Beauty Body Lava! Because I’ve been a shimmer fanatic since my teenage years, I couldn’t wait to have it, but I must admit that I initially wasn’t going to get the Body Lava as I prefer being loyal to the Bath and Body Works Diamond Shimmer Mist that I’ve been using for so many years. It’s my holy grail! I eventually caved in and figured that if I’m going to try something new, I might as well compare it to whats been working for me.…

I try not to talk too much about Fenty Beauty but it’s sort of hard not to when her new collection, Mattemoiselle is filled with so many vibrant shades as well as a few neutrals. Lipstick is my favorite part of getting dolled up and a matte lipstick is the key to my heart (amongst many other things). Take a peek at the first impression video above.

Glow Through The Holidays

Its my favorite time of the year and what better time than the holidays to (in the words of Rihanna) shine bright like a diamond. Everyone can use a little extra glow in their life.

Urban Decay Velvetizer - Befitting Style

When you hear of a powder that makes your makeup more luscious and matte than it is, it’s definitely worth a try! The Urban Decay Velvetizer is a translucent mix in powder that is said to give your foundation a matte finish and also doubles as a finishing powder. I was a bit apprehensive because I tend to stay away from white powders due to a fear of them not cooperating with my dark skin tone.

Had To Try Maybelline x Shayla + Fit Me Foundation and Powder

Oyinkan

I love when companies acknowledge women of color and there’s no greater way to show appreciation than collaborating with a woman of color! Towards the end of summer, Maybelline and MakeupShayla created the Maybelline x Shayla eyeshadow palette as a part of the City Mini collection. I previously tried one other city mini and wasn’t too crazy about it but my love for Shayla’s videos convinced me to give this collection another try. I also figured why not try the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and Powder as well. Take a peek at…
