The Iconic Victoria’s Secret Will Shutter 250 of its Stores
The coronavirus pandemic has effected business worldwide forcing them to make tough calls that can either impact them now or in the future. Victoria Secret along with its parent company, L Brands are facing a major dilemma resulting in store closures.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced countless businesses to file for bankruptcy. Many are struggling to make ends meet and keep up with finances, resulting in drops in sales, leaving them hopeless with nowhere to turn.
The iconic Victoria’s Secret is closing down 250 stores in shopping centers and other locations in the U.S. and Canada.
Victoria’s Secret is prestigious for its women’s lingerie, fragrance, body care, accessories and athletic and loungewear. The brand is also notorious for its celebrated Angels and fashion events. Victoria Secret’s products are sold in more than 1,600 stores worldwide and online at VictoriaSecret.com
The store has continuously seen a drop in sales amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Along with its stores closures, the brand’s parent company, L Brands, will eliminate 22% of the company’s 1,091 stores along with 1.26 million square feet of real estate, according to ABC News.
Victoria Secret’s CEO Stuart Burgdoefer has indicated that there will be additional store closures in the future saying: “We would expect to have a meaningful number of additional store closures beyond the 250 that we’re pursuing this year, meaning there will be more in 2021 and probably a bit more in 2022.”
Bath & Body Works, another brand under the mass retailer is also expected to close 50 stores nationwide and one in Canada.
Although Bath & Body Works climbed 20% in soap and sanitizer sales, L Brands dropped 37% in sales across its brands during its first quarter of business amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to ABC News.
Victoria Secret shoppers expressed their concerns and frustrations on Twitter with one user saying: “#VictoriaSecret I was rooting for you, we were ALL rooting for you.”
While another person tweeted: “that’s what I’m saying they want us to buy that shit where???? Walmart? #dobetter @vsactu @VSPINK @bathbodyworks like ok u want us roaming around smelling like that bootleg perfume from urban planet? Mhmh ok.
As you can see loyal customers are not too happy about the stores closures and their clearly not having it.
With the stores closures in effect, definitely expect to see MAJOR sales. STAY TUNED!!!

Is Jeffree Star's New "Cremated" Collection Worth It?
Jeffree Star has recently released his new makeup collection called “Cremated.”
Jeffree Star has recently released his new makeup collection called “Cremated.” It consists of a palette with 24 new eyeshadow shades ranging from black and white to grey and brown. Some of the names of the colors are “Angel of Death,” “Death Certificate,” and “R.I.P.” This Palette allows for beauty lovers to create the perfect smokey eye. It retails for about $58 on his website. Alongside the Palette, he released new lip glosses, makeup bags, metal straws and a liquid lipstick. The collection sold out in the matter of minutes and I could understand why.
There has been a lot of talk about his new collection as it has caused controversies. People have mixed feelings about it as they felt it was insensitive or tone-deaf to name the collection “Cremated” during a pandemic. However, Star has spoken out about these comments saying that he has been working on this Palette before the COVID-19 outbreak. Producing makeup takes months to create. It’s not a quick and easy process. In a youtube video, Star said, “For me, this is art and I never come from a negative place, you guys.” Star has also said that if he kept pushing off the release the makeup would have expired.
Many beauty influencers went on to test the Palette and lip glosses for themselves. One YouTuber who reviewed it was NikkieTutorials, with over 4 million views on it. She made sure to give her honest opinion about how she felt about the collection despite the controversy. She agreed with the people saying the timing is a little off. However, she thinks this would have hurt people regardless of timing. Nikkie went on to say that “if you focus directly on the quality, it is golden.” I am not surprised because Jeffree Star is known for releasing eyeshadows with incredible pigment formulas.
It’s really up to you what you want to spend your money on. If you can get over the theme of it and focus solely on the collection, you won’t be disappointed. It is perfect for anyone who loves to play with grey tones. The collection is said to be back in stock, mid-June.

Big Pore, Little Pore, then Unclog Pores!
Have you been struggling with acne since your teenage years and it has only gotten worse over the years interfering into adulthood?
Have you been struggling with acne since your teenage years and it has only gotten worse over the years interfering into adulthood? Well just to let you know you are not alone. I been struggling with acne since middle school and it has only gotten worst over the years until I decided to go to the dermatologist. The dermatologist helped me out with getting me the right treatment which was a topical acne cream for my face. I recently been trying to figure out a safe way to unclog my pores by not causing a breakout. Pores are little openings in the skin that discharge sweat and oils. Pores can be really painful and disgusting. Just note that you can never get rid of pores but there are ways to diminish them. I would still go talk to a dermatologist, but this should get you started. If you want clean and unclog pores just check out this product! “Owned by Kao Corporation based in Tokyo, Japan. It’s a chemical and cosmetics company. It was founded by Tomiro Nagase”.He needed to make moderate healthy skin items which he did that by purchasing Biore in the earlies 1880s. Biore Blue Agave Deep Cleansing Pore Strips is the newest and latest skincare product from Biore. This product is guaranteed to remove undesirable pores from your nose in a safe way.
Lastly, always wash your hands first before touching your face. Remember I am no expert, but you can never get rid of pores, but finding a way to diminish them is a great way to start.

KylieSkin’s Newest Launch: Baby Pink Slides
It’s official, the KarJenners are at it again, but this time in foot wear.
It’s official, the KarJenners are at it again, but this time in foot wear. Kylie Jenner has just recently announced her newest launch, KylieSkin x APL slides.
Who is APL? Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL), have been a long time fan of the KarJenners as they have sported their sneakers for years. Their sneakers are practical for the gym with their light weight and serious comfort, I should know, I own a pair or two! Not a fan of the gym, but still want to look like you flawlessly worked out? Well, you’re in luck because their style can’t be beat. The clean modern look they showcase with their on trend color schemes allow you to look your best, but also be that athletic self you want to show off. ;)
So, what do these slides have that make them worth buying? First off, slides are a major trend this year, so if you buy them you’re already winning. But, the legendary blush pink that KylieSkin promotes could very well be their main attraction, and not to mention, they also have the comfort and style that APL is known for. Their strap is soft and flexible, and they even have “antimicrobial mesh footbeds” which literally massage your feet while you’re going for a stroll. Maximum comfort much? There definitely doesn’t seem to be a downside to these cute, yet casual baby pink slides.
They retail at $100, I know a bit expensive, but why not splurge for self care? You can find these babies on KylieSkin’s website: KylieSkin . Go ahead…click the link, I know you want them!

Having the motivation to get ready in the midst of the nation-wide quarantine has proven to be a struggle for many.

Stores like Boohoo and Princess Polly offer a numerous selection in comfort and loungewear for affordable prices to their customers.

Milk Makeup Debuts Triple-Tipped Brow Pen
Ah, the fluffy, off-duty-model brow. What’s not to say about them? How we all long for that luscious, brushed-up look à la pretty much every runway for the past couple seasons. A chic and modern departure from the pomade-heavy Instagram brow, simply just brush up your brow hairs for this j’en sais quoi, effortless beauty moment. Well, maybe it’s not quite effortless, and maybe not that simple. Those blessed with naturally thick brows, this is your time to rejoice. Pop some champagne, why don’t you! But for those of us with sparser (but equally valid!) brows, we need to harness the power of makeup to fake ‘em out.
On April 18th, 4:20 EST, cool-girl brand Milk Makeup debuted the newest addition to their Kush line: the triple brow pen. Available in six colors, this pen features an angled, triple-tipped felt applicator that deposits sheer, buildable pigment, allowing the user to easily mimic hair strokes. This long-wearing, water-resistant formula also contains plant-derived oil, sunflower oil, and aloe to condition your brows throughout the day. Additionally, this product is vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free.
The Kush Brow Pen retails online for $22 USD, and can be purchased at milkmakeup.com. Whether you brush it lightly through your hairs for a feathery, woke-up-like-this brow, or fill them in for a bolder look, this product can do it all.

At her entrance, the party grew longer in the famous stars honor. The outfit that she wore, as seen in the pictures was an oversized black jersey hoodie, high waisted extra long palazzo pants in Jet Black satin, a Dior satin saddle bag, and on her feet was a pair of Fenty’s pointed black pumps in black. This outfit proved that Rihanna’s style is both edgy and chic. The outfit itself cost more then 1,000 dollars which is a bit on the expensive side for some. Although the outfit is somewhat pricey it is gorgeous nonetheless. This shows that Rih has an interesting style that is high in demand. The fashionista always makes a grand imprint within the fashion industry which is loved by many. Every young trendy woman should have a hot all black look, so shop Fenty for yours!

KITH and Sailor Moon Team Up For New Collaboration
Over two decades later, Sailor Moon’s legacy is still felt throughout pop culture, a milestone that is commemorated by the clothing brand KITH.
Sailor Moon was one of the flagship anime in the 1990s that introduced an entire generation to the distinct art style and boundless creativity of Japanese animation. Over two decades later, Sailor Moon’s legacy is still felt throughout pop culture, a milestone that is commemorated by the clothing brand KITH.
KITH has officially collaborated with the Sailor Moon franchise itself in celebration of the television show’s 25th anniversary. The label’s latest products are hoodies and t-shirts depicting the eponymous superhero with the KITH logo. As a series that resonated most with young girls, Sailor Moon proved that femininity and strength are mutually inclusive, a sentiment best symbolized by the pink cropped hoodie with an image of the Sailor Scouts wearing KITH clothing emblazoned upon it.
Conversely, Sailor Moon’s character design, consisting of her colorful dress and signature blonde pigtails, is prime for graphic streetwear, creating a look that is casual and youthful, yet feminine. KITH’s new merchandise will undoubtably reignite older consumers’ nostalgia for their beloved childhood cartoon, all while subtly invoking the younger generation’s curiosity about the anime, eventually leading to another era of young girls becoming invested in the iconic heroine. Overall, KITH exemplifies the modern art of mainstreaming what was once a niche interest through the innovation of fashion trends.

Retail Therapy - The Myth Has Become Reality
How Consumers Are Flocking to the Web During Quarantine.
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, some of our favorite beauty brands and retailers are temporarily closing their stores to help prevent the virus from spreading. While in-store shopping is no longer available, many brands are still offering online services, as it is virtually impossible for the virus to survive throughout transit. If you suffer from anxiety and depression, experiencing higher levels during these challenging times is common. As it turns out, a little retail therapy is a proven way to help combat these issues.
According to Psychology Today, online shopping can provide a sense of relaxation and escape, as it is a mindless and calming activity. Another study from the Journal of Consumer Psychology notes that retail therapy can be beneficial in providing a sense of control and stability when you feel like you have no control over your environment. A handful of brands are even offering incentives to stay safe and socially distanced during these times such as free shipping. Many department stores, including Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, closed their stores and are continuing with online services, and are still providing their employees with benefits and regular pay. Also, many beauty brands such as Glossier, Kiehl’s, Benefit Cosmetics, and many others are implementing the same policies. When engaging in retail therapy, supporting companies that ensured the health, safety, and security of their employees can help them to lead by example of what it means to protect employees during the current unforeseen circumstances the world is facing, and also for the future.

Dyson Hair Has Launched The Dyson Corrale Straightener
Dyson recently launched a hair straightener – the Dyson Corrale. The straightener took 7 years to make!
Dyson recently launched a hair straightener – the Dyson Corrale. The straightener took 7 years to make. Their goal is to straighten and style hair by using 50% less heat than their competitors. Its name comes from its ability to gather hair together. The plates are coated with nickel and smooth titanium nitride, the titanium eliminates friction so the Dyson Corrale straightens the hair smoothly.
There are 3 calculated heat settings – 330, 366- and 410-degrees Fahrenheit – for a variety of style options. The max 410 degrees can completely straighten curls while 365 degrees can be used for touch ups. The tool features comes with flexing plates made from manganese copper alloy that evenly apply heat and tension, which will result in less heat damage and color fading. The device is also cordless. Founder James Dyson said in a statement, "Since we first started developing the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer, we have continued to explore the science of style, seeking to understand what makes hair smooth, shiny and glossy, and what makes it dull, damaged and lifeless. We have been worried about the style results and heat damage from flat plate straighteners. Flat hair irons apply tension and heat only on the thickest part of the hair tress, the strands at the edges are not clamped, leaving them slack, unheated and leaving flyaways. It requires multiple passes on the same section of hair tress to give an even look, by which time excess heat may have caused reduced strength and less gloss," The Dyson Corrale is $500 and available now at www.dyson.com
