Rihanna Reacts to Fenty Beauty Fan Destroying Highlighter


Rihanna's Fenty Beauty has won plenty of fans since its viral launch, but it seems that people have different ways of expressing their admiration. Recently, Instagram user Nickole Hoang posted a video featuring the iconic golden Fenty Highlighter, Trophy Wife. But, as Refinery29 reports, things quickly took a turn for the unusual. Instead of swatching the powder or filming a tutorial, she proceeded to literally destroy the glowing luminizer. The clip opens on a close-up of Trophy Wife, a fork hovering menacingly over the glittering pan. The fork descends, lightly scratches the surface, then causes a shower of destroyed sparkles to fall out of the pan as it speeds up. While we were horrified at first, we quickly realized the reason behind Nickole's Fenty destruction: She was actually mixing the loose pigment with FARSÁLI Rose Gold Elixir (that serum-primer-luminizer hybrid you've seen all over Instagram) to create the ultimate liquid gold strobe.
From there, Nickole proceeded to paint the mesmerizing gold all over herself, resulting in an otherworldly effect like none other. And her experiment apparently caught Rihanna's attention, too. The Fenty Beauty creator showed her admiration by "liking" the post on Instagram and leaving three kiss emojis in the comments — basically what every single one of her fans dreams of. Nickole's reaction? "I am SHOOK,” she commented. “@badgalriri liked and commented on my post … She saw me showing the world how beautiful her Trophy Wife highlight is." Granted, it may have been an unconventional way of showing off the beauty of this highlighter, but looks like it worked. If you start seeing more exploding Fenty makeup on your feed, well, now you know why.

Kim Kardashian & Laverne Cox Are Teaming Up For Something Epic

Almost every Kardashian has starred in a spinoff, stepping out of the full-family chaos of KUWTK into a smaller, individualized spotlight. A trip down memory lane reminds us of Khloé & Lamar (tbt), the summer stint of Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons, and the most recent Kylie fan favorite, Life of Kylie. And although Kris tells us it's too early to start planning a Kardashian kids spinoff (fair), we have a buzzy new Kardashian reality show coming soon that has Kim Kardashian at the forefront, along with... Laverne Cox?
Yes, Kim is working on a new on-screen endeavor, but it looks completely different from the Kardashian reality shows we've seen in the past. Stepping away from Ryan Seacrest and E!, Kim's hosting and producing a new original series on Lifetime, a Project Runway-esque competition series called Glam Masters. Each episode will feature four beauty bloggers facing off in a glam-off.

Kim first announced her involvement in the series back in May. "I’m such a beauty junkie and am fascinated by how artists are able to transform someone’s look with makeup," she said in a statement to ET. "[I] couldn’t be more ecstatic for them to show what they can really do."
And if Kim's hosting the show, you're probably wondering which glam pros she picked to judge? Unsurprisingly, her loyal makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic's on board, along with YouTube makeup expert (and new OGX shampoo collaborator) Kandee Johnson, Milk Makeup co-founder Zanna Roberts Rassi, and last but certainly not least, Laverne Cox.
Yesterday, The Orange Is the New Black star announced her Glam Masters partnership on her Instagram, posting the show's trailer. "I am so excited to announce that I am serving as host of #GlamMasters and also one of its judges," Cox captioned her post. "Glam Masters is a beauty competition series we really had a blast shooting. I hope you'll tune in and enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it."
@LAVERNECOX
Glam Masters doesn't premiere until February 28th, but from Cox's post, it seems that the filming has wrapped and we're excited to see what incredible makeup looks are going to come out of it. If the trailer's any indication, it's going to be epic.

How Did I Discover It Cosmetics?

There is nothing more exciting and challenging in the universe than trying to find a new makeup brand to use in your daily routine. After what seemed like years of using the same brand, it was time for a change.             As being an educated consumer becomes more mainstream, more information about popular companies comes to light, positive or negative. Because of that, I found out that one of my favorite makeup brands – MAC Cosmetics – tests on animals. Any form of animal testing is something that I consider to be animal abuse, and I can’t morally see myself giving money to brands who do this.             Now, I’m on a mission to find another makeup brand that is cruelty-free and makes my skin look flawless with a wide range of products. Where did I end up? Of course, at my local Ulta Beauty store.           ...

Featured Product: Ombre Radiance Bronzer

It Cosmetic 's Ombre Radiance Bronzer is my favorite bronzer to use. The bronzer is Ombre, with a sparkle bronzer on top and a matte brown bronzer on the bottom. This bronzer is great to use on a daily basis and can be used for both muted, natural makeup looks and dramatic looks. The matte bronzer is perfect for a daily routine. The product is very pigmented so the darkness of the bronzer can vary depending on how much is used. The sparkly bronzer is great for nightlife looks and can add a great sparkle to the face in spots other where highlighter is used. At $34, this bronzer is more expensive than some other popular bronzers and makeup products, but it offers two different bronzing options that most products do not offer. The product is also very large and I have been using it daily for a few months now and it looks almost if it hasn't been used at all. Buy this product now, and comment below to let me know how you like it! This video depicts the shimmer f...
