Fabulous Fenty // Fenty Beauty Buys Review

I mean, it was only a matter of time before Fenty Beauty started appearing on my blog. Rihanna launched this line earlier in the summer, and the world went into meltdown - mostly because her foundation shades were so inclusive, not only for people with darker skin who very rarely find their shade in mainstream beauty lines but she's also catered for people who have albinism. Her range is probably more on the pricier side of things (I'd say around about the same kind of prices as brands like Benefit or Urban Decay) but from what I've tried so far, her products are more than worth the money!

Rihanna is a huge role model for me - her no nonsense, no bullshit attitude is something I think is hugely important and she's one of the few celebrities out their who put their money where their mouth is in terms of social justice. She is a huge champion of diversity (as shown in her ad for Fenty) and she's someone I really admire. If you've followed the blog for a while, you'll know I tend to purchase higher-end make up, so for me to be able to do that and support a brand/person who is redefining beauty standards is pretty cool! So far I've only got my hands on 3 products from the line, but as I've used them more and more I think these are some real staples.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Foundation

I bought this foundation about a month ago with some birthday money - originally I was looking for more of a medium coverage foundation and I'd heard from reviews that this was medium to full coverage. However, because it's a very matte finish it does have more of full coverage feel to it, but I've found a really good technique if you wanted a more light coverage - I use a really hydrating primer underneath and I've found using a damp beauty blender really helps to sheer it out. I've also used it with a stippling brush for when I'm going out. It lasts really well and you only need a pump and a half to get a good coverage for your face!

Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in "Confetti"

This highlight was very kindly bought for me by my Auntie Belinda when she and my mum came to visit me in Birmingham - I think out of the powder highlight and the Match Stix, these ones are definitely my favourite. I found the powders to be really chunky and full of glitter which I really hate in a highlight and while this one does have a small amount of glitter in it, it stays exactly where you put it! This one is an iridescent opal colour with a slight lilac colour to it. There's a few other colours I'd like to go and have another look at and I'm keeping my fingers crossed there'll be some more colours released soon!

Stunna Lip Paint in "Uncensored"

Another gift, this time from my lovely mum - honestly I'm praying 24/7 that RiRi brings out more colours in this lip paint, because it is hands down the best liquid lipstick I've ever used. This shade is a universal red which is meant to flatter all skin tones. I'm big on red lipstick anyway but this one is so beautiful! I was a bit unsure about the applicator but it's really easy to use and I get a smooth line every time, even without liner!

If you're considering going out and buying anything from Fenty, I would 100% recommend any of these products - even if they were the only items you bought, I think you'd get a really good basic range. Next on my list is the highlight brush and some lipsticks from her Galaxy collection, and I can't wait to see what she brings out next!
