Last week, Tufts University organized an African networking event with other universities such as Harvard and Wellesley College. The event consisted of a day party/barbecue, dance competitions, and great conversations. I met some brilliant people and it was nice to get some reminders of back home. I actually had plans to do some work for the blog the same day, so the photographer suggested we shoot on Tuft's campus.

I actually used to play tennis as a child, so this whole photoshoot definitely brought back some memories.  Tufts' courts matched so well with my look : a light blue wrapped skirt, paired with a simple black tank top.

Rihanna's long awaited beauty line is finally here. Fenty Beauty, officially launched online at https://www.fentybeauty.com and online/in stores at Sephora.

Being a huge fan of Rihanna, I was very eager to see what this line would be. And, of course, it did not disappoint. Fenty Beauty is a collection of items such as primers, matte foundations, highlighters, and a universal lipgloss. Here is the list of all of the main products, what they do, and their pricing(all in US dollars).


1)Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Primer( $32)





This oil-free primer is designed to smooth your pores and take away all the shine. Wear it before your foundation to ensure longevity. 

2) Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($34)




Because of its wide array of choices, I recommend going into Sephora and having someone help you choose your shade. Here's a picture of the swatches of each color to help you out:




3) Match Stix Matte Skinstick($25)


The match stix are perfect for correcting, concealing, and contouring on your skin after you've applied your foundation. The item has a rich and creamy formula and comes in about 20 shades.

4)Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick($25)




Unlike the matte skinsticks, the shimmer ones are designed to help you bronze, highlight, and blush your face when you're doing those finishing touches.

5) Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter($34)



These highlighters might just be my favorite products in the line. They come in singles or duos and trust me, they're pigmented.

6)  Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer($18)

The universal lipgloss from the collection comes in a shimmery finish and rosy/nude shade. It was created for all types of skintones and will make your lips look fuller. 










2) Killawat Freestyle Highlighter





I know this is just the beginning for Fenty Beauty. As a woman of color, I am so happy about the diverse and inclusive items(especially the foundations), there is really something for everyone. I'm excited to see what other products Rihanna will be adding to the line.
