Score One for Armani! @Rihanna X Armani Short Film

This is a sexy a** short film. Super tasteful too.

Watch as Rihanna masters the art of  the ‘sly-glance-sexy-swish’ look. Beautifully shot by Steven Klein, this short film uses Rihanna’s song “Skin,” to set the mood.

And I want that exact same outfit she has on at the end.

 

Blog Request: Beauty & Fashion With Taylor

First and foremost I would like to thank V for reading and commenting on a previous post about my mental instabilities (insert laugh). Mentioned in the comment was a few questions about beauty regimes I may have, as well as questions about my choice in fashion. I’m absolutely delighted to answer these questions!

I also welcome any other questions you guys may have about me.myself.and.i.

HAIR:

What hair products do you use?

I have a love / hate relationship with my hair. Not that I don’t care about my hair that much…but it never seems to do what I want it to do…so it gets no special attention!  I actually use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner. And sometimes a Paul Mitchell glosser.

Why do you love them?

I love Herbal Essences because it smells really nice, and as an Advertising degree holder, they are packaged and promoted pretty awesomely. The commercials are convincing. Possibly the most childish answer I could give, but it’s true. I want to scream YES when I’m washing my hair! As for the Paul Mitchell glosser, it smells delightful as well, and also adds a very pretty shine to my hair (with no unwanted oily weight).

Do you  flat-iron, press, relaxer etc? Curling Iron?

After I wash and blow dry my mug, I normally press my edges (shout out to Madame C.J. Walker) and flat iron the body of my hair. I’ve never had a relaxer because I have very fine, soft and curly hair…and I like it that way. Plus I never go to the hair salon, so my hair would probably fall out if I put harsh chemicals in it. I don’t use curling irons. I typically curl my hair with my flat iron (although I absolutely HATE my hair super curly).

Whats your favorite hairstyles? How can we do them?

My favorite hairstyle is the illustrious pony tail! Recently, I’ve been trying a part down the middle of my head with my hair flipped away from my face. I’m pretty much a plain jane when it comes to hair though. A few times last summer I braided my hair while it was wet, put some leave-in conditioner on, and un-braided my hair when it dried; leaving a crinkled look.

FACE:

Do you wear make up?

Yes. From time to time. Not daily. That’s not good for your skin. I normally use an eyeliner, mascara, and light mineralizer (which is funny and semi-pointless because I tend to wipe the mineralizer off during the course of the day). Every now again (mainly when I’m home alone bored), I play in vibrant colors of eye shadows!

What is your skin regimen?

Contrary to popular belief, I have TERRIBLE skin (runs away and cries)! Now you have to hear my sad story.
