Rant & Rave: Fenty Beauty

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Fenty Beauty

I like how involved Rihanna seems to be with the brand–she promotes it, but she also seems like she drives a lot of the way the brand is handled from the business side as well as creatively. I’m hoping they’ll improve the consistency and overall quality of their eyeshadows over time because that’s one product that’s left me so-so. (The Killawatt highlighters are better eyeshadows!)

What was the last product you bought because of rave reviews? How was it?

It was either Skinceuticals CE Ferulic or Sunday Riley’s UFO. They both do what they’re supposed to do as far as I can tell, but I don’t have particularly problematic nor reactive skin, so it’s not like, “My skin went from F to A!”

Best & Worst of Too Faced Throw Back Lipsticks

What was the last product you bought in spite of poor reviews? How was it?

I can’t recall! I have the privilege of buying products as they release so I am typically reviewing before lots of review come out. But I love reading answers to these types of questions!
