ArianneUpdated on June 16, 2020June 15, 2020

Talking about making your dreams come true! Since she was a teen, Teyana has been a bonafide MAC LOVER; and grew up watching likes of Mary J. Blige become MAC collaborators. Now the sultry singer is watching from the sidelines no more. The MAC Cosmetics x Teyana Taylor collection is literally days away from being in all of our makeup bags!!

MAC Cosmetics x Teyana Taylor -NEW Collaboration First LOOK

With the iconic vibe of Grace Jones; MAC and Teyana proudly revealed visuals to announce their spell-binding collaboration. Both parties are thrilled to be working together and bringing a fresh, artful flair as well as perspective to the beauty industry. In regards to the collab they collectively reveal,

“Over a year in the making, we are proud to finally announce our collaboration with the infinitely talented Teyana Taylor. The epitome of our core values and a self-proclaimed MAC girl since the age of 15. Teyana boldly embraces artistry, unapologetically embodies originality and commits herself to self-expression without boundaries.

‘I’m very excited to be partnering with a company like MAC who I’ve watched collaborate with strong women of color over the years. I’ve been a fan of MAC ever since I was 15 years old; and started experimenting with makeup. It was the first bran that made me like makeup.

I’m so grateful and excited to be sharing this beautiful collection I created with the MAC team. But also [I’m] hoping to inspire other young women that anything is possible,’ she says. In celebration of decades worth of friendship and support for this unstoppable force; we now introduce MAC Teyana Taylor!”

We… can’t… WAIT! As of right now, no official date is set in stone for this release. However, it is confirmed that products will be releasing during the month of July. PLUS, like the dazzling red lipstick that Teyana is wearing in her adverts? That gorgeous iconic shade will be apart of the official lineup!

Yes, we know, we know. You may be rolling your eyes over yet another “Ruby Woo.” Nonetheless, being the creative she is, we are sure that Teyana will be putting a gorgeous spin on traditional Mac classics with her own style. So just give the woman a chance (Lol).

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One!

ArianneUpdated on June 12, 2020June 11, 2020

Not sure if it was the steely black sunglasses; or the shiny noire ensembles in general. However, Chloe x Halle’s Forgive Me music video had us feeling some type of way! Like the energy and vibe of it is just ELECTRIC. The dark, raw edginess of their visuals turned the wheels upstairs and reminded us that Matrix 4 is on the way (yay lol); and it got us thinking. Halle for the win?

Of course, we are sure that the next installment of the Matrix is going to pull out all the stops. BUT… it is kinda missing a new generation bridge. Their are The cast thus far has a lot of returning faces ( Thank major G). Since part of the nostalgia is being reacquainted with familiar characters as well as situations.

At the moment, Keanu Reeves will return as the beloved Neo; while actresses Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith will reprise their roles as Trinity and Nobe. Adding to their flair… Priyanka Chopra, Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Neil Patrick Harris will also all star in the film.

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One

Now we know die hard fans of the series will be hitting the theaters HARD to view this film regardless of who’s in it. Nevertheless, we can not help but think what an addition Halle would make to this movie. Like really hear us out on this one.

She’s got the vibe of a Halle Berry with the angelic, good girl wink of a Dorothy Dandridge going for her. Plus, the girls has the goods and experience to pull it off. She’s already worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years; proving that her work ethic is perfect for a big budget film. But her resume helps too!

She’s been apart of a super duo in the realm of music. PLUS she stars as a regular on a hit TV show (Grown-ish). And even the mouse approves! Halle scored big snatching up the role of Ariel in the upcoming live action of The Little Mermaid.

The girl is qualified and deserves more top roles. Additionally, she would bring a whole new audience to the franchise. Thus, blending the old school with the new school. A total win-win.

What’s also winning is the fact that the fourth Matrix which is set to release May 21, 2021; will still have the Wachowski touch. Lana Wachowski, who is one of the two Wachowskis who directed the previous three films; is set to co-write and direct the next installment.

Cutting Hair with Regular Scissors -STOP! Here’s EXACTLY What Happens!

Arianne Suggs June 10, 2020June 10, 2020

Put those down and step away from the mirror. That’s exactly the thought many had from watching their fave actress, Yara Shahidi, cut her bangs during quarantine. While the end result, don’t get us wrong, was absolutely fabulous (Lol, like FR it was); many did see why it could be a bad idea. Is Cutting Hair with Regular Scissors really that big of a deal? Yes.

But why? Scissors are scissors right? Well, no, not exactly. Yes, on the outside looking in scissors used at home to cut like paper or something; may look no different than the scissors professional hairstylists use. The illusion is in the functionality of the scissors itself.

Scissors all look like they do basically same thing. Essentially they all perform the same function… to cut. However, what people forget are the different levels of sharpness that different scissors possess.

To illustrate, remember those old infomercials grandma used to watch showing new kitchen knives? And remember how excited she got when she saw that not only could one cut a grilled cheese in half; but a combat boot? The fact is you really don’t need a knife that can help you survive out in the Amazon in the kitchen; because each situation calls for a different level of “sharpness.”

Cutting Hair with Regular Scissors -STOP! Here’s EXACTLY What Happens!

Nevertheless, the same is true of scissors. They come in different levels of sharpness in order to handle different cutting challenges. And the kind for using on Hair is WAY different from your regular pair at home.

Now for the nitty gritty. Here’s the real tea on this. Simply put, professional hair scissors and shears are sharper. Why? Basically, so they can effectively cut strands without damaging them.

You see, those regular ol’ scissors in your kitchen drawer can do harm. LOTS OF HARM. If your scissors fail to be sharp enough it will literally smash and tear the hair fibers as you use them. Yikes.

This tearing of the hair fibers can cause a double whammy. Not only will you do major damage the cuticle BUT you can also create split ends; which we all know brings hair growth to a total STOP. What’s worse is that this damage can show up even 14 days after your little cutting session. Therefore, was your new makeover worth it?

It can be… especially if you use the right tool; to not only achieve the look you are after, but do it safely. So then, instead of fraying and pulling your strands, always use scissors or hair shears designed to cut hair.
