Rihanna released her new beauty line called Fenty Beauty ("N" is backwards on the Fenty) this month. The new line can be purchased at Sephora's all over. Beauty lovers (or just people who love them some Ri-Ri) piled themselves into Sephora stores everywhere just to catch a glimpse or to touch and experience the new makeup products.
I love me some Ri-Ri, but I generally do not rush to purchase products or anything that is labeled by any celebrity. What peeked my interest in the Fenty Beauty line was the fact that it has a variety of shades that are just not available in a lot of other product lines, for women of color. I stalked the reviews on different websites and such, just to see what people were saying. Of course, there was NO way that I was going to physically head over to the nearest Sephora because: Crowds. I am NOT a person who enjoys waiting in lines, surrounded by huge crowds of people who are ready to punch the lights out on anyone who stands in between them and their Fenty!!!... No seriously, I ended up going online and to my surprise, the next day after the release of the line, nothing was sold out!! So, for that, I have to commend Ri-Ri. Y'all remember (or read about) how Kylie's (Kylie Jenner- Kardashian sister) site crashed due to all of the heavy traffic on her site during the releasing of her products! This launch was handled very professionally. Ri-Ri took the time to take EVERY woman in EVERY shade into consideration, while carefully crafting this beauty line of hers. For that, I give her MUCH props!!! *insert applause* ******AngieFace free beauty tip: If you don't know your shade, use some natural lighting (outdoor lighting on a sunny day, while being indoors. just stand by a window. no filters!) take a picture and look to see what you undertones are (i.e. yellow, olive, red, etc.). That will help you to decide what shade is right for you.****** So, yesterday I finally got my package of Fenty. It was packaged very nicely. (See pictures below). I got the liquid foundation in the shade 400. Now, here are my thoughts on purchasing liquid foundation shades online when you have no idea about the new product line: The only thing that saved me was the fact that Sephora has a way that you can filter out to see only the reviews of people who share your same skin tone. So I did that and found my fellow Fenty loving sister's who rock "deep" skin tones. Most of their reviews said that the pictures on the Sephora site was very deceiving. I found one fellow sister who rocks my same deep skin tone say that she thought she was a shade "420" in the liquid foundation, however she found out that she was a "400" shade instead. Then she had a picture of herself wearing it! BAM! That sister saved my life with that review! Come through for us deep shaded sisters!! **ALWAYS DO REVIEWS!!!** I wore the liquid foundation today (see my picture below) and so far it has been holding up! I picked my perfect match (Thanks to my natural makeup artist instincts/good eye, and also my special cosmetology training). Now, the liquid foundation has a soft matte finish to it. This means that you will need to make sure that you moisturize and exfoliate very well. If you have dry skin, especially! My skin feels tight but not to the point where I can't move my face, it's a nice firm feeling. It blends very well into my skin. I used a moistened beauty blender to apply it. I also purchased the highlighters. Love them! They are versatile and can be applied anywhere on the face, which is convenient for the minimalist who just doesn't want to have a product for each facial feature. The pricing was not bad at all! Under $40 is great for the quality product. The packaging was nice. The product is high-quality feeling. Sizing of each product is nice, I didn't feel jipped by the portions. So, that's my review. I will see how all of this works out but so far, I am very impressed with the Fenty Beauty line. Go Ri-Ri, Go Ri-Ri!!! Check what I got, in the pics below. Grab the Fenty Beauty at any Sephora.com or store. Come back soon and thank you for reading my personal review ;-) Follow me here: #AngieFace, Angieface.com, @PMUAngieFace, @Angieface__ (twitter) & @angieface (IG).

Check out the gallery below and use my link ( sign up here ) to sign up and grab these picks on sale right now! ~AngieFace I joined on with Influenster back in August of 2016 because I learned that they will give you free stuff (food, makeup, etc.) to test out and give your review on.
So last month (December 2016), I got the Twinkle Vox Box and it features a few products inside of it. I LOVE getting free stuff so I was all over it. This particular box has: Aquation lotion, Oreo Thins, Axe Night body wash, Not Your Mothers Unscented Dry Shampoo, Reynolds baking cookie sheets, Covergirl So Lashy mascara, Hills Bros hot cocoa pods, Country Crock coupons and some other coupons as well. Because the box features so many products, I haven't gotten through all of them just yet due to the holiday festivities, etc. Anyway, I am also a Younique Presenter and since there is a new reboot of the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash mascara that was just launched on the site this month (January 2nd), I decided to compare the Covergirl So Lashy mascara. My review is this: I got this COVERGIRL So Lashy mascara from Influenster to test it out, for free (it's $8.99 at Walmart). I paid $29 for this reboot Younique 3D Fiberlash mascara. I used only ONE COAT of each just to compare. My results: You get what you pay for. Don't cheat yourself or your lashes. Come on now! Go to Angieface.com and treat yourself; stop cheating yourself! See below for my results and see for yourself. Happy Belated Turkey Day!
I am sure that most of you have been shopping and eating turkey with all of the trimmings by now (on leftovers too). I just wanted to share with you something that is happening and catching all types of attention at the moment. It's the Black Friday 7 Days of Surprises going on with Younique! Don't have a heart attack!! It's all about the 7 days of releases right now. Each day, a newly released bundle will be posted to the website at 12:00 noon PST, for 7 days. You have to get the item when it releases or else it will be sold out and you will have to purchase the items individually. Each bundle won't be over $49. These deals NEVER happen! Oh and another head bursting thing: FREE SHIPPING on orders of $50!! Normally, free shipping only happens when your purchase is $100 or more. So jump on this now! It won't last!! After these specials are over, shipping goes back up and so does the pricing on the products in the specials. Here's the catch: You have to shop when they hit or you will miss out! There is only enough in stock for one day of each item so they are flying out of the warehouse quickly! Don't miss out!! On top of all that's going on for the Black Friday specials, this is also Younique's 4th Anniversary. So this month's Kudos is a Younique Signature Brush Roll (brushes not included) for free when you spend $150! There is always a hint given out the day before. An hour before released, you will know what the bundle actually is for the day but you have to stay tuned with your Younique Presenter to see what it is because that's the ONLY way you will know what the surprise bundle will be for the day before it's released. So join my VIP group to get specials and to find out the inside information here: Angieface VIP On the first Day of the 7 Days Of Surprises, there was the Liquid Eyeliner in "perfect" and the Splurge creme eye shadow in "noble" for $33. On the second day of the 7 Days of Surprises, it was the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara and Moodstruck Lipstick in "Loaded" for $35. On the third day of the 7 Days of Surprises, it was a bundle that included one of the newly released Addiction Eye shadow palettes, Addiction palette #4 and an angle/sponge eyeshadow brush, for $49. Normally the addiction palette is $49 alone. With this bundle you get the angle/sponge brush for free! So check out the website Angieface.com to find out what tomorrow and the remaining day bundles will be at noon PST!! Tomorrow's hint is: "Kiss and Tell." Angieface Fall 2016 is upon us now and there's nothing like fall fashion styles to get us jump started and ready! I am a brand ambassador for JustFab, for those who aren't aware. This quarter, I am completing the challenge to display some of my favorite looks for this season. I am a lover of all things Fall, from the color of the leaves to the pumpkin flavor foods. I live in a place where it is currently still reaching 100 degrees but I managed to strum up these Fall looks. Check the pictures below! To get these looks and more for the Fall season, click here: JustFab What do you think? What are some of your favorite JustFab looks for fall? Thank you for reading! Love & Light ~Angieface Good day everyone! I just wanted to share with you my experience with the app called Influenster. I signed up in August this year. I was referred by one of my sole sisters inside one of my Brand Ambassador groups. It's a company that will send you out free products but there's a catch (a good catch). You have to review the items that you received on social media and also post pictures. Back it up a bit... Before you get to test the free products, you will need to build up your Impact Score. Impact Score is how Influenster will track your social media traffic on sites such as: Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, blog, etc. You also have to post reviews on products that you either currently use or have used in the past and that will also build up your score. It can take about a week or less (sometimes more depending on how big your Impact Score is) before you qualify for a Vox Box which is sent to you (free of charge that includes free shipping). Once you get the box o' goodies, you will then need to check in on the app to let them know that you have received the box. Next you try it out! Lastly, just post the reviews as requested on the Influenster app in your dashboard. Wala! That's it. You are not required to say specific things about the product in your reviews other than that you got it for free to test it out and that your opinions are your own, which is true and exactly what I did. This month I received two lip colors from the Maybelline Super Stay 24 Color Collection. I will say that the lip colors lasted me all day after following instructions on how to apply them. I didn't experience any dryness or cracking underneath the lipstick at all. They go on as a liquid and then dry as a matte. I did an 8 hour work day and then worked out for an hour. When I got home the color was still in tact and all I did to remove it was use some oil. No issues with removing the lipstick at all. If you are looking for a way to receive free stuff to test it out and talk about it, sign up here: Influenster See the pics below. Thanks for reading! Love & Light. Angieface Finally, the wait is over!! The new natural Royalty skincare line is here as of September 15th!! I don't know if you are a skincare product junkie like I am, but it's nothing like a good luxury skin cream to set off my skin care regimen. The Royalty skin care line features some new products, some of the older items were relaunched with a beautiful purple signature package. The newer items consist of a luxurious Royalty Time Correcting Night Cream, a couple of new day creams for dry/normal skin, you would want to use the Royalty Hydrating Day Cream, or oily skin you will want to use the Royalty Renewing Day Cream. There's also the new Royalty Detoxifying Mask which is perfect for getting rid of impurities and toxins that are underneath the skin. Along with those, we have the fast acting Royalty Instant Lifting Serum, which restores the appearance of youthful and healthy looking skin. Lastly, a couple of new skin cleansers: Royalty Pure Purifying Cleanser (for oily skin) & the Royalty Moisture Boosting Gentle Cleanser (for normal to dry skin). I love how Younique takes care of every skin type so that no one will feel left out! Something for all of your skin care needs and a great way to "royally" pamper your skin, because you are a queen! Also, a couple of new eyeshadow palettes were launched, Addiction Shadow Palette #'s 4 & 5! These palettes are comparable to a couple of eyeshadows by other brands that are currently out. I love how the pigmentation on the palettes are very rich, metallic and they last all day! These palettes don't have all metallics as there are some matte shades as well to mix and match between the already released Addiction Shadow palettes. Addiction Palette #4 is described as "cool with shades of copper & teal," while the Addiction palette #5 is described as "warm with shades of gold, orange & red." Check these new palettes out and get these palettes here: Angieface.com Another hot item that Younique released is the new Splurge Matte Shadow Creme called "Happy." Get it here: Angieface.com One color was launched so far and more is coming in the future. I love how the matte creme spreads over the eyelid like butter and dries as a matte finish that lasts all day! (Check the picture in the slideshow up top). Also, there were a few new collections added and the older collections were retired. Check those new collections out here which also include some new signature makeup bags to carry all of your Younique products with you as you travel. Lastly, there were also some new shades of lip liners that were released. Check them out here and the picture above in the slideshow. ***DEAL OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER KUDOS*** While supplies last, there's a deal going on if you purchase an Instant Uplift Eye Serum, you get $15 in Younique Cash (basically a $15 credit) to use towards your next purchase!! Go here to check it out: Angieface.com Stay tuned for next month when the new Liquid lipsticks which dry as a matte, will be released in the most gorgeous shades that your lips won't ever forget!!!! Check the sneak preview below and don't forget to shop at Angieface.com for all of your makeup & skin care needs!! Thank you for reading! ~Angieface As we go from Summer to Fall, it will soon be time for (some of) us to kiss our sandals and cut off shorts "goodbye." So bitter sweet, I know right?! Well, some of our summer wear can be paired along with some fall apparel to help us with the seasonal transition. If you live in hotter climates out west, like I do, then you may not have to worry about the transition as much until maybe around the month of December. Here is a look that I did today to give you an idea of how to pair some of your favorite summer pieces with a fall piece. Below you will see that I am wearing a tank with some pants with the slits and also a light polyester jacket. It's best to wear pieces that can be layered so that when the day starts, it's okay to wear a jacket as it is cooler in the early morning hours. Then during lunch and at the end of the day, you can just remove the jacket so that you will be comfortable as the heat rises throughout the afternoon hours. Take a look and tell me what you think about these fab looks.

Hey lovelies!
I just wanted to share some of my favorite items from JustFab's new Plus Size line. I have been a member with JustFab since 2011 when they were only selling shoes and handbags. Since then, they have expanded things to where one may purchase denim and other articles of clothing. My problem was always finding denim that fits me perfectly, not just at JustFab, but anywhere due to my curvy shape. Well, I really like that JustFab has a Plus Size clothing line because it provides women of all shapes and sizes with options. Most of the styles go up size 3X with pricing as low as $22 for VIP members. Check it out here to sign up and tell me your thoughts. |
