Rihanna

[Kansashalo]

I went to a Fall Beauty event at my local Sephora (Atlanta Buckhead store) and her products are in plentiful supply there (plus all shades from light to dark foundations are available as well). I walked out with a foundation and the lip bomb. I really liked the price point and package quality. I REALLY wanted the Ginerbinge/MoscowMule highlighter but I can't justify buying another one at all. In short, I actually liked everything I saw.

 

[Lounorada]

I ordered three highlight duos, three of the sticks and the foundation. When I heard there weren't any lipsticks I was hella disappointed tbh, but they are saying they are coming "soon". Eyeshadows, too.

Yay! to the bolded!

I had no idea who he was until I read about his lipsticks then got lost down a rabbit hole of reading about him.

I heard that he was invited by Sephora, they were in charge of the guest list and Rih had no idea who was going to be there. I only saw pics of her with a couple of influencers and she didn't mingle too much because of interviews.

I never suggested that it should be ignored. And yes principles are larger than makeup but I think boycotting his own brand is enough because a lot of brands affiliated with Sephora are not in control of PR. Fenty Beauty is exclusive to Sephora and they control who is on the list, not Rih. It sucks because I think she has a solid collection that she released and don't think she deserves to have that tarnished by one wrong invite to a launch party that was most likely something she was not even aware of. Maybe she could have and it would have been great if she did. But it seems like she didn't because there might have been more celebs and supermodels rather than beauty gurus if she controlled who was invited and who wasn't.

But you have your right to not choose to buy Fenty Beauty and I respect that. No hard feelings.

Point is that he said some anti-Semitic ish, he would've been cancelled and under a rock and that's what irritates me about the whole thing.

Can Jeffree just drop off the face of the earth already? I don't want him associated with my fave in any way, shape or form. Whoever put him on the list deserves their a** whooped a stern talking to

Not gonna happen.

This line is permanent and there are plans for expansion. Expect more lippies, palettes and foundation shades by X-Mas.

It Star was bound to make an appearance whether thru direct invite or as a plus one. She didn't take pics with him or tell folks to get over it so I still handed over my coins I do wish brands would wash their hands of him tho. He's not worth the controversy. I got the lipgloss, two highlight duos and trophy wife. I need to go to Sephora to play but I'll wait. Sephora employees are saying they are well stocked (to discourage stockpiling and reselling) so there is plenty of time to shop.

I respect her launch in every way, I appreciate her keeping the price-point decent (decent enough for me to consider purchasing), the quality level high, of course the diversity and for making sure that there was enough product to go around. I can forgive the attendance of the atrocious one.

 

[Tahitian Monoi]

I'm extremely proud of the business woman rih has grown into, especially as a BLACK woman! I have to admit I was expecting something more luxe and avant garde because that's who she is. But I'm glad she is leading the trend away from that redundant instagram makeup. My only complaint is Jeffree attending the launch , I do not support anything that racist touches so I am conflicted and haven't purchased anything because I refuse to be a hypocrite.

 

[Tahitian Monoi]

And y'all need to stop with the maybe it was Sephora / PR ******** excuses, either rih is 100 percent involved or she's not. You can't brag about how involved you are / she is then start copping pleas when a man that threatened to throw batteryacid on black women to lighten their skin , threats violence on black women is personally invited and gifted products from a brand thats supposed to be inclusive. Sephora refuses to sell jeffrees products so I can't see them inviting him. Rih stays perched on social media so I don't buy that she didn't know .

 

[Tahitian Monoi]

That's fine. I won't wear makeup. Principles are larger than makeup. Folks are reasoning this away because its Rihanna....meanwhile other people not named Rihanna didn't get the same pass. I'm not with the wishy washy. I don't get why folks say it so casually that people should just be okay with someone being a racist. If you want to buy it, cool but don't suggest that it should be ignored so casually. Jeffree isn't a he said/She said/I heard situation....he's proven he's disgusting. If there are other makeup brands affiliated with folks like him, let me know so I could stop buying.

!!!!!!!!

Hol up, so you think she actually, personally sent out invites to YouTube influencers. Like seriously? Not models or other celeb acquaintances but YT influencers... K. Forget being a business women with ish to do, she must spend her days trolling YouTube....

Anywho....

Elle Mag October 2017

It's a global deal, she will appear on all 46 covers for the month of October. All beauty looks were created with her line.



Snippets of interview.

In celebration of Rihanna's sixth cover (and the global launch of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna), ELLE turned the tables and invited some of her famous friends and fans – Tyra Banks, Eminem, April Bloomfield, Zac Posen, Pharrell Williams and more – to share the questions they were dying to ask the global megastar:

Of course, she was her usual DGAF self.

David Copperfield, Magician: I'm not kidding, this is a real offer: I can make you disappear and reappear anywhere in the world. Where do you want to go, and why?

Rihanna: Ten minutes before I lost my virginity…and I'm holding you to that offer. LOL.

Laverne Cox, Actress: You've had so many iconic fashion moments and take so many risks. The iconic CFDA Awards Adam Selman dress in 2014—what gave you the courage to take that risk that was so perfect and elegant yet daring?

Rihanna: Dear Laverne, I took advantage of my titties before they go south. I saw my window, and I took it.

Plus, she offers her insight on beauty as the brain behind her new makeup line:

ELLE: When did you first wear lipstick?

Rihanna: Lipstick always got me in trouble.Whether it was at home as a kid, or my early teenage years in my career, I always had the urge to wear it. So I broke all those rules. Now lipstick is like my lil secret weapon!

ELLE: What is the craziest thing you've ever done/tried for beauty? Would you do it again?

Rihanna: A corset! I'd do it again, though. I'd wear it every day if I could make it out alive!

For more of Rihanna's answers to questions from Pharrell, Charli XCX, Eminem, among others – pick up ELLE's October issue, on newsstands September 19.

Jeffree himself said that rih personally invited him . So you actually think a consummate business woman wouldn't review the attendance of her launch party. So rih didn't check the list? One of her stalkers could have shown up and she wouldn't have known because nobody showed her the list because she didn't have time. I know your a Stan and have Stan goggles on , but it is sheer delusion to believe that a guest list wouldn't have been gone over with rih , that's basic protocol. Unless the marketing and pr are allowed to do whatever they please and rih has no say at all or isn't 100%! involved as she said ? Please

I always love her interviews! Her answers and whatever she has to say always sounds organic, straight from the heart rather than contrived and over-thought.
Looking forward to reading the rest of the questions and answers from this ELLE issue, when it comes out.

 

[BagOuttaHell]

Chile...her lips. smh. Can you imagine what the FB lipsticks will look like?

Me? No makeup wearing is in anticipation.

Receipts?

 

[terebina786]

Of course JS would say Rhi personally invited him [emoji849].

I don't think she personally invited anyone. But then again that's JMO. I will continue supporting her line until receipts are produced that she herself invited JS.

 

[Tahitian Monoi]

He said it on his snapchat, I didn't believe he would actually be invited to the launch when social media / lsa said he was so I added him to verify (and deleted him immediately after) He was in his hotel room and explicitly stated "thank you Rihanna for inviting me" not thank you Sephora , thank you bold pr , but Rihanna. If y'all don't believe you can check LSA numerous fonts saw the same thing.And he is a certified stunt queen and was clearly bragging and rubbing it in . If the social media kids upload his snap I'll post it . It's just amusing to see the hoops folks are jumping through to absolve responsibility yet if another female celebrity had him at the event the same fonts would be dragging. I've lurked and seen how y'all go in on other female celebrities for any little thing now want to give faux neutral "oh I doubt it" " I need evidence" "show the receipts" .Im extremely proud of rih but jeffree at her event is a bad look as a black woman point blank period. No amount of throwing capes , Stan goggles will change that .
