what's up everybody welcome back to my
channel today I'm not at home I am at
the four seasons in New York City and
last night was the Fenty Beauty launch
with Rihanna of course you all know by
now that she just released her makeup
line it is making headlines all over the
internet and today we are going to dive
into all the products now the launch
party was lit it was an amazing
experience to just see the beauty
community come together for such a
monumental moment so in today's video I
have all the products here that Rihanna
launched from foundations to brushes to
highlighters to cream contour sticks to
everything we got lip gloss we got
sponges we got invisible blotting powder
there's a lot here so if you want to see
some swatches I'm gonna apply it to my
face we're just gonna have a little
playdate in bed today now if you saw my
snapchat you know you got a little
spoiler the highlighters I'm just gonna
say it now [ __ ] bomb now I have not
tried anything else
so the highlighters are pretty good of
course we're gonna apply them to my skin
we have sticks and powders so all starts
want to give you guys a quick little tea
that I am in a hotel room so the
lighting and sound is gonna be a little
different than if I am at home in my
studio so if the light fluctuates we are
literally using daylight behind us and
there's like 10 skyscrapers and the Sun
keeps going in out of the clouds so if
it looks a little off I apologize bear
with me alright you guys let's jump
right into the video
all right you guys let's dive into the
products I'm sure a lot of you have been
dying to see them in action as well as
me I went to bed last night and I woke
up just thinking about makeup and I
couldn't wait to play by now most of you
know that Rihanna launched Fanta beauty
it is a Sephora exclusive and they did a
huge launch where they think they
launched in like 17 countries last night
it's on their own website it's on
Sephora it is everywhere and if you're
in Europe it is available at Harvey
Nichols I believe now there's a lot of
products here so I was like damn girl I
love that she didn't just come out with
like one thing she's like BAM and I
think something that was really cool and
important to note is that her brand is
very inclusive and she spent a lot of
time working on this and the foundations
you guys there are 40 shades with I
think even more come
and I think that is so epic because a
lot of the times y'all know brands
release foundations and there's like ten
shades and you're like girl so the fact
that she spent a lot of time perfecting
the formulas and creating a really cool
shade range I think is really awesome so
today we're gonna start and do every
park that I have laid out in front of me
I do want to note that I do have all the
prices here so I'm gonna go over
everything with you guys and we're just
gonna have a little playdate right now
all right so let's get started so the
first item is which is great a face
primer so this right here you guys is
the pro filter instant retouch primer
now this is supposed to let's read it
smooth pour diffusing finish with
extended makeup wear girl you know I'm
about that life that comes in this
beautiful glass component with the nude
on top and it also matches the
foundation so here's what the foundation
looks like now this does feel very nice
and luxurious y'all know I am NOT about
no lightweight packaging this feels
heavy now in this bottle there is one
point eight fluid ounces and that's a
lot for a primer love it but let's see
if it works that's the row seat here so
here's what the primer looks like it is
like a lotion like consistency and yeah
kind of feels like so we are going to
just take some and apply it to the skin
all right so the primer is on it feels
nice it doesn't feel too tacky it feels
kind of smooth and it does feel a little
hydrating it's not like I didn't suck in
my moisture which is nice all right now
this primer does retail for at 37
dollars looks a little up there for a
primer but if it works it works of
course
the foundation is kind of what I have
been highly anticipating of putting on
this is the soft matte long wear
foundation it's called the pro filter as
well and the box says medium to full
coverage for all long wear light as air
I did match my shade at the event there
was a lot of crazy lights so hopefully I
got a good match I have no idea what's
about to happen here so besides the
foundation which by the way retails for
$34 there is also a beauty sponge and
that is the precision makeup sponge it
looks a like this it's flat on one side
and round on the other with a flat tip
now this is retailing for $16 and so for
it says that this is a three sided
makeup sponge designed without latex
perfect for applying and blending all
formulas use damp for buildable coverage
or dry for full coverage of course we
know that Beauty blenders and other
sponges do soak up a little bit of
product I'm gonna use it damp because
that's how I normally do it I want to
feel comfortable so let's just take the
foundation and let's put some on our
hands what was due to little dollops and
we'll see how it goes I don't know how
quick it dries yet I don't know the
coverage so let's give it a whirl all
right so I'm just gonna blend out half
of my face and let's see how it looks
[Music]
all right you guys the foundation is
blending out beautifully I'm only gonna
do one side of my face so you guys can
see what is happening but I just put a
little bit more under my eyes the sponge
is blending it out pretty nice now this
foundation does dry quick so I'm glad
that I only did half of my face cuz
sometimes all this dot all over and then
it dries a little bit more over here so
here's my face with half of the
foundation and half without so for a
little first impressions we're gonna
zoom in a little bit and let's take a
look at the skin now the foundation
looks looks beautiful honestly like I'm
looking at my skin like it is very
smoothing I'm looking back like damn
girl the stuff looks a little jacked up
so far so good
now I also forgot in this crazy goody
bag so we got the products of course at
the party and I was just looking to the
bag and there's actually a brush that is
also for applying so we got the sponges
we got the brushes and this one is a
full-bodied foundation brush which is
full firm airbrushed full coverage so I
thought why not try the brush for the
other side of my face so here it looks
like this it has a little guard of
course with the logos on it it is a
synthetic of course that's how we apply
creams all right so let's just take the
foundation or with the brush and let's
see how it applies is it better than the
sponge do we live oh wow
[Music]
alright now I'm going in on the neck to
blend down of course and I will say this
I live for this brush and how it applied
it the sponge I thought worked great and
then I tried this and I'm a little bit
more in love I don't even know why I
mean obviously it's the tool it just
looks even more airbrushed on the side
from the brush and it actually applied
quicker and definitely gave me that full
coverage moment maybe the damp sponge
wasn't the best idea also when I put it
on it did oxidize very slightly and I
loved how it looks so that's not really
a negative for me so just be mindful if
you are buying your shade you might want
to go a shape down if you are worried
about you know shopping online because
you can't touch or see it but of course
these products are in store so if you
are a little weird about a girl and go
at the mall the foundation is dry and
they were telling me at the event last
night that the foundation kind of like
sets itself so I'm feeling it and it
doesn't feel tacky it feels really nice
now you know you've been watching my
channel for a while you know I love a
full mask of powders after the
foundation but I will say this I'm not
mad at how my skin looks it looks balal
and it looks very nice now they do have
a balada ng powder so maybe in a minute
I'll put blotting powder under my eyes
no I love the component for this one
it's like this weird shaped little
compact that opens up the back of this
of course that has a little sponge with
it and then of course a protector now
this is a universal blotting powder this
is $32 for the in division at blotting
powder this says that it absorbs shine
and diffuses the look of pores for an
instant filtered look on the fly I'm
gonna do that right now because my pores
are annoying so I cleaned off the
foundation brush and I'm just going to
dip in here really quickly and I'm just
gonna press it under my eyes and see how
I feel about it
all right you guys so it is giving a
little bit of a blaring effect which you
know I am all about I want to look as
plastic and fake as possible okay cool
well this will be interesting to see
later if I have shine and I go in if it
really does take it away but for now
it's doing a little blurring effect and
so far so good now we are going to dive
into the matchsticks I know a lot of the
online have been like what the hell are
those I tweeted some pictures of them
last night and here is what they look
like so they are magnetized I love this
packaging because it looks like a
honeycomb and if you didn't know I got
honeycomb and bees tattooed on me now
there are two formulas there is a mat
which is kind of like contour and
highlighting sticks and then there's
also the matchstick shimmers which are
crazy highlighter colors we have gold
and orange and purple and and the shade
names were pretty cool so let's just try
it as contour one and this one is called
mocha now these matchstick matte skin
sticks retail for twenty-five dollars
and let's see a magnetized makeup stick
in a long wear light as air matte
formula to conceal correct contour or
touch-up in 20 shades so I guess we're
just gonna give it a whirl I'm gonna
contour with this a little bit now only
thing is I don't have any powder contour
from her brand to put over it so if it
doesn't set itself and it's tacky I will
put a little bit of powder on top now
this product also has 0.25 ounces in it
I know a lot of you read me to filth
when I reviewed a other contour stick
every months ago and I did not show how
much product was in there so let me put
this all the way up here is what you get
in this product I think that is a lot of
product because it is more fat I'm just
gonna say it because all of you are
gonna read me I know they k'kaw contour
sticks were a lot smaller with a lot
less product and a lot of you had
problems with them breaking off this one
is more sturdy it feels more expensive
and there is a lot more parked in here
so I have no idea how this covered is
gonna look I'm just gonna start here and
do a little line in case it's intense
BAM I'm just gonna go on this jaw line
and go
after looking the back I forgot there's
actually a little brush that says
contour and concealer brush which looks
like this so I guess if it works it
works now the first the bristles here
feel a little they're not hard they just
don't feel as nice as the this brush or
the highlighting brush so let's see if
it wants to blend out
all right I feel like the brush took a
little extra work to really get it in
there I would probably just go in with a
sponge or a different tool that I
already had just to make it quicker with
the brush it's not I mean it worked
right y'all see you on camera I'm just
gonna buff it out with the sponge and
give it a little bit more of like a
airbrushed finish this brush actually
worked a lot better than this little guy
wasn't too big of a fan of this little
brush but this way quicker so this is
great for a little foundation the
blotting powder I'm like using this for
everything
I must blend it out a lot easier I know
I'm really liking it we are blended to
filth and I apologize you guys for the
lighting in today's video the litter
like the Sun just disappeared behind
some skyscrapers okay cool so before we
dive into the powder highlights I know a
lot of you are dying to see those in
action there are of course the
matchstick shimmer sticks now they're
kind of funky and fun some of them of
course are more neutral this one which I
know Brianna just wore for the cover of
her Elle magazine shoot was this purple
guy called a unicorn this shade called
confetti lord help me it's so pretty
I swatch this at the party and I was
like girl now normally you guys when you
take a cream product and you just drag
it over your foundation it can lift a
little bit so I am just going to put
some on my hand and let it warm up a
little bit and then if you guys are
afraid of ruining your foundation or
anything you can take your fingers and
let's just let it warm up a little bit
and we're just gonna literally take this
and Pat it on your cheeks and this is a
really cool tip that lipstick NIC taught
me so we're just gonna go right in over
that contour and it's okay if it's a
little subtle at first you don't want to
you know ruin your beautiful foundation
so here is confetti on the cheeks I
think it looks beautiful it's serving me
that alien like sex goddess realness
that I'm living for and I love how it
has like a little bit of glitter like in
it as well as like a high volume shine
so I'm gonna do what I always do is take
the light on my phone and let's see how
this looks I know the Lighting's gonna
be a little crazy but hear me out guys
oh that is pretty stunning so of course
we can layer them with powder but we'll
try that in a minute I do want to do the
I've been dying to try the unicorn one
here we go this is full-on purple darker
than confetti so there is a unicorn on
my hand it is definitely a way brighter
lilac purple and I'm just gonna take
this stick and see how it looks if I
just paint on let's just give it a try
and then I'm gonna take the sponge that
with the no product on the end and I'm
just gonna kind of buff around it and
let's see if it likes that or not
now I love this one because it is
definitely like more subdued and it's
definitely ethereal giving you that
little more subtlety vibe so if this is
a little too crazy for you
this one isn't definitely right up your
alley alright so one of the colors that
I think is so stunning is chili mango I
was just testing on my hand and blending
it out I think for any woman of color
this is going to be a stunning cream
blush with a little bit of shimmer in it
I love this I would definitely even use
this sounds like an eyeshadow base they
were also talking about at the event how
you can put them on your lips and do
everything so these are very versatile
which I love now there is a face
highlighting brush this is the cheek
hugging highlight brush for $32 now I
use this at the event and I fell in love
with it because it really plates the
powder right on the cheeks let me show
you if I can get this damn thing open
now this is a weird shape for I brush I
love it it's kind of giving me that 3d
look and it has this thing almost like
cut into it where it's gonna like
definitely go right on the cheek and I
tried this last night I live for it
can't wait to try it again now let's
move on to the powder highlights these
are the kilowatt freestyle highlighters
girl know you all know I'm obsessed with
highlighting and these definitely do it
justice I think the star of the show is
trophy wife
Rihanna wore this to the party last
night I wore it all over my cheeks on
snapchat it is beautiful so let's go in
with trophy wife now these retail for
$34
come on highlight of course this is
high-end and this says it is a
weightless long-wear cream to powder
hybrid highlighter that comes solo or
paired so they also do come in duo's
with other shades and they look like
this now let me demonstrate this for you
guys and tell me what you think let's
get this blank cheek ready alright so
we're just gonna take the brush barely
go in a lot of pigment goes on there so
these are definitely alright let's give
it a whirl
once white people Rihanna ain't playing
alright you guys so that was literally
one two dips in a pan now I'm gonna go
in a little bit more on the brow so we
can really show off this color now it is
packed with glitter and amazing pigment
like when I tried B's I was like oh my
god [ __ ] now of course I got to do the
flashlight test well the cat looks on
the actual face and cheeks it is unreal
like whoa I'm obsessed okay I think I'm
gonna need this the formula in every
shade please and just because we're
sitting here we got to do some of the
chest and body up and have this robe a
little bit now if you are someone who
likes to wear dresses or low-slung tops
just look at my chest you guys Jesus it
is so stunning I'm like definitely
obsessed with this even the light what
that cream is stunning but then you go
over here and you're like holy [ __ ]
alright also for fun we're gonna take
the shade a metal moon is a more icy
straight up white kind of like duochrome
highlighter and I'm gonna put that over
this side just so you guys can see
little versatility so let's just put
this over it and see what happens
[Music]
now of course this is not show up as
blinding as this one with the glitter in
it this one does not really have that
glitter payoff but it still has a
beautiful icy duochrome moment and I
live for it let's get the flashlights
out one more damn time because you know
I just got to see this in action yes now
you do see the flakes of glitter when
the light hits your cheeks it is a
little more subtle than the other side
but still beautiful so also I mentioned
of course that these come in a duo type
of formula so there are four other ones
that have the split Pan's and they're
just as blinding so if you really want
your shade they got all the shades for
you and they're all really pretty I'm
like hi there look at my hand it's like
a glittering mist all right you guys we
are down to the final product I don't
want to end alright so this is the Fanta
beauty gloss balm universal lip
Luminizer alright so what is this
supposed to do this is a gotta have it
lip gloss with explosive shine that
feels as good as it looks in one
Universal Rose nude shade I love it so
literally this shade is supposed to look
good on any skin tone and anyone the
stop everything give it to me gloss that
delivers explosive shine in one perfect
shade handpicked by Rihanna herself the
Fanta glow we're talking the unicorn of
nudes that looks good on everyone girl
we're just gonna try it out right now so
this one is it comes in this cool of
course honeycomb type of moment and I
like the wand on this because it is
jumbo I love a product that has a big
wand because it gets my big old mouth
done quickly so let's give it a whirl
[Music]
there is the universal gloss with an O
this is just daylight on my face right
now and now here it is with of course
the light with its gloss is really
pretty definitely kind of like an
everyday gloss is it imperative to own
this gloss I don't think so there's
definitely a lot of drugstore dupes for
this one everything else I'm not sure
about that but this one it's you know
there's nothing special about it I think
it's pretty but it's not necessary um
all right you guys I think it's time to
give my final thoughts so let's go down
the line I gotta say Rihanna
you [ __ ] killed this makeup line the
formulas are on point now that I
expected anything less but you never
know because there has been a lot of
people lately that have been launching
products and they're kind of subpar and
it's just like oh I'm a celebrity let me
slap my name on something and call it a
day I see the vision of this brand the
formula is great and I'm really happy
how everything turned out so let's just
go down the line the primer is the
primer necessary I y'all know I have
some of my favorite primers already that
I film with all the time I probably
won't be grabbing this a lot just
because it says it's gonna blur my pores
and do a bunch of stuff and I still kind
of see my pores it wasn't the best
primer on earth but the foundation girl
if you want a good new foundation I
swear to God I am obsessed with this one
also Laura Lee has films with this today
and her skin
drop the mic [ __ ] her skin looked
flawless so we're both huge fans of this
and I think that the formula is on point
of course we are going to see how this
wears throughout the day but we've been
filming for about an hour now and my
skin has not moved and here's the crazy
thing I didn't set it really I did the
blotting powder under but I didn't do a
powder foundation over it and it like
set itself and it still feels good it
doesn't feel weird
so [ __ ] this is everything moving on
contour sticks y'all know the half of
the world is not even into cream contour
or maybe most of the world we all love
powders so I definitely think that I
would just normally just do powder
contour personally I'm sure Rihanna will
be coming out with powder contours so I
don't think those were really necessary
but they did blend out great once I used
brush the brush that came with I did not
like it all I felt like it was a little
too rough and it didn't blend it out
nicely it was like kind of too patchy
and the brush is a little too bulky I
almost wished it was longer to give it a
little bit more of a flare but this
brush saved the day it killed it with
the foundation the blotting powder and
the contour so this brush is definitely
gonna be staying in my kit now moving on
to the match stick sugar sticks you know
I love them I mean look at this cheek it
looks like an alien sat on my face and
then stood up and left it slime and I
loved it all right besides that I'm
holding trophy wife I can't let it go I
feel like it's the only one on earth I
just have to have it this was a star of
the show for me the glitter the pigment
it was unreal I think I'm gonna douse my
entire body with this and just wear high
heels later so besides that I'm a huge
fan of these now of course we all saw
the lighter one I think this one is a
little bit better this one was still
pretty but I like intense makeup I'm
gonna tend to a [ __ ] so this one was
cute trophy wife is a little better
the duo ones of course I have not tried
on my skin yet we will try those in
later videos but just from swatching
them on my hands on point you guys I'm
looking around now besides that what
else do we have of course we have the
lip gloss which I don't think the lip
gloss is that's the only thing that was
kind of like and for me it's a gloss it
didn't do anything mind-blowing but it
still is pretty so if you want to grab
it grab it
alright you guys add so much fun playing
with all the offending beauty products
I'm just gonna say it right now the
Fenty Beauty collection by Rihanna is
Jeffrey star approved I am a little
shook at how consistently great it is
overall I was expecting a few products
to be bangers and maybe a few misses cuz
you never know you guys it's makeup
not everyone can execute everything
flawlessly but somehow Rihanna managed
to really slay so congrats girl your
makeup line is everything I cannot wait
to see what you put out next
alright you guys thank you so much for
watching this review here from New York
City I will see you guys back home and
on the next video mwah bye guys
