Beauty Essences

 Have you ever had a product you were gifted with and had no idea how to use or care to look into? Well...I have! Today I found out that my Estée Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Lotion (breather) does wonders for your skin. Essences to my surprise are like some mystical miracle serum. This water like goddess liquid deeply penetrates into your skin to hydrate, and strengthen the skin's foundation. Apparently this serum absorbs much better than your typical cream moisturizer that tends to sit on top of your skin. Essences make your daily makeup such as liquid foundations, concealers, and powders feel feather light, while pumping in nutrients that aid in your skin staying supple and smooth. What I found even more interesting, is this essence water like potion is a staple in the Asian beauty regiment, that's rarely missed. After being enlightened, I'm reassessing some of the gifted goodies I have in my closet. There are a host of these essences available below are some popular ones.

#restless by Kendall Jenner and Estée Lauder

I honestly don't know or understand how Kendall Jenner has become this worldly fashion god overnight. She is beautiful, yes, she's definitely not difficult to look at, however she is everywhere in reference to fashion. Anyhow I'm ranting, as much as I do get tedious of seeing Kendall it seems every year there is a fashion It girl, and for 2015 it's Kendall. There definitely must be mad bad blood brewing, between her and I guess your average models, during some of those high profile runway shows. It would be tantalizing to hear your average model's uncut opinions on this Kendall-mania, shadowing their golden come-up journey. On a more uplifting beat! I love that Kendall is not only runway proof, she is business savvy (mama taught her well)! Great move pinning her own lipstick called Reckless with Estée Lauder. Its an orange-red eye popping delight. The name it self is questionable however I commend her on her latest business venture. This just means more Kendall for Estée lauder campaigns, I don't blame the brand for jumping on the Kendall gravey train.

Rihanna's New 2015 Song: World Peace Leak

Rihanna has leaked her latest mind bender entitled: World Peace. I appreciate the jolt of energy the track radiates, however I can barely make out the verses with the exception of the Chorus. I hope this is not one of those devil worshiping tracks played in reverse, because it sounds so light hearted, reminiscent of that kindred spirit, happy-go-lucky person we aim to be. Yes, we all want World Peace and to live in a Nirvana state of state of mind. Will this song kick Taylor Swift  off her Billboard reign? What do you think? 

Victoria Secret 2015 Swimsuit Campaign

The Victoria Secret 2015 Swimsuit video Campaign is shamelessly brain draining. Yes, it's very slow, the models are definitely soaking in their day at the beach and mocking me for not being in their place. Frankly, I don't care for all the rolling around in the crystal clear waters. All the sultry looks don't compel me to buy the swimsuit. The ad compels me to find exactly where on the map are these mermaid wannabes. The location is dreamy. Is the Victoria Secret swimsuit going to make me feel like a sexy, temptress, as soon as I whip it out the box? Maybe, I'll leave that to my imagination, but this Ad really isn't influencing my decision to buy Vicky swim-wear.

Jourdan Dunn Shines Light on British Vogue: February 2015 Issue

Vogue! International, Iconic Editorial Brand, the  Fashion World's House of Cards. Unbelievable, that such a Legend in the Fashion realm  could allow it's UK brand to be left in the ages of antiquity. I am absolutely shocked, and disappointed that it's been 12 years since editors thought change was a relevant topic. I am so excited for Jourdan Dunn, however my deep lingering question is WHY  has it been 12 years?   The real answer looms in my head...could it be Vogue editors believed UK readers were predominantly White Supremacists and could not cope with a Black Woman on its cover? Are UK editors out of touch with inclusion? Did they recently do a study about how their readership demographic is changing? What sparked the bright idea to break the chain? The questions are never ending, they would hate me in an interview. On another note,  I have no doubt that Jourdan's Vogue Cover will be one of Vogue's best sellers.
