Arianne Suggs July 21, 2015July 21, 2015Leave a Comment

Rihanna has been lighting up NYC with her glorious fashion presence for weeks now. Whether it’s been a trip to the gym, studio or out for a fabulous night on the town Rihanna has been an absolute stunner. Where has the singer been spotted as of late?

RiRi was seen having some good times at the 10AK Nightclub in Southampton, NYC. Rihanna sported a strappy little black dress, curly updo and metallic heels. The sheer trend continues to go strong as Rihanna bared glimpses of her killer shape.

Beauty Notes: We always emphasis that nails can make a powerful statement as much as any piece of clothing. Rihanna’s gorgeous red nails packed just as much punch as her sexy gown.

And she wasn’t the only one spotted at 10AK:

Rihanna didn’t party it up alone she even grabbed a snapshot with model/actress and reality star, Cynthia Bailey.

Arianne Suggs July 16, 2015July 16, 2015Leave a Comment

There are so many things that run through our minds as soon as our phones are suddenly held at eye level. Does my hair look like I just walked a red carpet? Did I beat my face enough or can I use a little more eyeliner? OMG…is that really something in my teeth?

As stressful as those scenarios may sound what could ultimately be a bathroom photo shoot selfie stopper is a dare we say, PIMPLE! These horrible little buggers seem to pop up whenever we are trying to be the wonderful diva we are inside. Well fret no more for now we present 5 skincare tips to help build selfie confidence!

1. Aim to use cleansers that contain salicylic acid or alpha hydroxyl acid which are amazing ingredients for unclogging pores.

2. Always apply moisturizer after washing your face in order to replace any moisture that was lost during cleansing.

3. Of course, we know you must use your hands to apply moisturizer but that’s all the touching that should really occur. Continuously touching the face runs the risk of transferring oils or bacteria to your skin.

4. Get into the habit of exfoliating your skin twice a week with products containing small grainy particles or micro-beads. Using such products will not only help to keep pores unclogged but will aid in new skin cell growth.

5. When it comes to cleansing use the twice daily rule. Cleaning your skin more often then that on a daily basis can actually create more inflammation and acne.

Alright girls those are 5 skincare tips that you can store in your back pocket. Now get out there and take some killer selfies! See ya on the Gram…

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022July 9, 2015Leave a Comment

Yesterday, there were several sightings of songstress, Rihanna in New York City. For her first look RiRi rocked black tights, sneakers, Thrasher tee, snapback and Fenty necklace. RiRi had been doing a little body maintenance at Titan gym and was quietly exiting the building. See, isn’t comforting that celebrities have to put in the work for their hot bods too?

Rihanna kept her relaxed chic vibe going as night fell upon The Big Apple. Her nighttime ensemble consisted of green sweats, gray shirt, gold hoops, tennis shoes and another snapback.

So why was Rihanna on the streets of NYC this week? It looks like the singer is conducting a little business while she is there. Rihanna was meeting with world renown producer Timbaland at a studio.

Beauty Notes: Knowing how to compliment or marry your nail color with your makeup can be very easy. A simple way to not create a color clash is by matching your lip color to your nail color. For her look, Rihanna chose a gorgeous red and the tint pops!

Green Eyes

Arianne Suggs July 8, 2015July 8, 2015Leave a Comment

For the past two days the beauty world has been buzzing about the green eyeshadow seen on models during the Versace runway show. Green is not usually a tint that most women naturally reach for when creating their makeup look. Nevertheless, green is a great hue for girls wanting to explore color and move on from more neutral tints. Here are few tips to keep in mind to make this runway trend your very own:

1. When applying green eyeshadow for brown eyes it is best to use a green shadow that has blue undertones. The blue will accentuate the orange undertones present in brown eyes making them pop.

2. If you want a more subtle look apply green eyeliner to your upper and lower lash lines.

3. Black mascara will match green eye shadow well so do not worry about the colors clashing if you would like to punch up your lashes.

4. A nude lip color and bronzing the skin will compliment green eyeshadow very well.

5. Lighter skin tones can wear even very celery green shadows while it is recommended that darker skin tones go for emerald, evergreen and vivid greens to create the most stunning look.

Chew on This

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 7, 2015July 7, 2015Leave a Comment

Your parents probably told you to brush your teeth twice a day, floss and if they were sort of hardcore had you doing a daily mouth rinse too. Oral hygiene is important to keep your chompers healthy, but research is showing that a good mouth also can have an effect on your overall health. Therefore, keeping things clean and in top notch shape will only help make you a stronger individual.

Nevertheless, let’s just cut the bull and be real…who really sticks to such a routine day in and out? Schedules get busy, school is the pits, work is hectic and then we all have the rest of life’s concerns to deal with and get through. Most of the population may have the twice daily brushing down, but flossing or rinses may go out the window. So then, we are inviting one and all to chew on this, cucumbers.

Cucumbers due to their fiber and nutrients can benefit teeth as well as gums. These nutrients and fibers help to massage gums and remove bad, harmful bacteria from teeth. So an apple a day may keep the doctor away but a cucumber is the right little number for oral maintenance.

Style Ambassador: What is True Beauty?

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022July 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Our lovely Style Ambassador Carlifonia has been sharing her insights on fashion, life and how to be truly confident. Beauty is defined as “the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest). Nevertheless, due to the expanse of what beauty can truly mean from person to person there are numerous viewpoints on how to be beautiful.

Here is our SA’s personal definition:

“True beauty comes from the heart, not from the mirror. Aim to change the way you see yourself, not how you look [physically] then you will be beautiful! Remember the inside beauty is the reflection of the outside beauty.”

Well put Carlifonia and as always here is some more of her awesome streetstyle! This week she plays up her fun side with a chic printed pant, chain necklace and black top. See more of Carlifonia’s awesome style by following her on instagram @carlifonia_a.
