Rihanna dropped the Fenty Beauty bomb a month ago and I’m still reeling with excitement! The entire Fenty Beauty line just does something to me. It’s really good! I walked into Sephora wanting everything. And came pretty close to spending my little heart (and my poor boyfriend’s wallet) clean out. However, I managed to escape the Fenty […]
