Hmm...ok. Beyonce married a man who has been accused of domestic violence toward women and stabbing a man. That's what we know. Yet, she's very smart about not putting her life on display, so there's a lot we don't know. Unfortunately for Rihanna, she got beaten by a man and the world found out about it. Now, instead of just being a victim, she can be also be villainized along with Chris Brown because she got back together with him.
And he's also sold drugs in the past. But are people allowed to change or do we continously judge them for the rest of thier lives? Just curious because we haven't really heard negative press from Jay since he's been with Beyonce.

I'm pretty excited about this. I'm sure the RiRi Woo wont be a color for me... but I'm super excited about the blush duo, the other colors and even the eye shadows that was shown in the promo pic. Gorgeous.  Also... I'm not sure if its been mentioned yet... but my Pro Store told me that they wont be getting collections in a week early anymore. Manager seemed pretty upset about it and how it could affect his business... especially if things are online sooner.
Oh yes, blush duo! Epic!!! I hope MAC makes a blush duo palette. I so need that!

You are supposed to be your own inspiration and find power and spirit within yourself.



I've been on this forum for a while and I think you'd be hard pressed to find people here who "act like you live perfect lives and never make mistakes."

This collection isn't for me. I'm not a Rihanna fan, so I'll pass. I don't tend to support collaborations where I don't care for the spokesperson (Nicky would be an example and Miley Cyrus would most assuredly also be a skip). There's no shortage of makeup to buy without someone I don't like having their name or face splashed on it or profiting from its sale. Personally, I prefer the packaging to reflect the brand and not an individual.

Having said that, I don't think celebrities have an obligation to be a positive role models; they have the right to live their lives as they wish (presuming they only hurt themselves) and consumers have the right to support them or not as we see fit. We all have different values, backgrounds and experiences so we'll perceive behaviour in different ways. Vive la difference.

Hope those of you who want some of this collection are able to get it. :)

The bolded (and the gif) just gave me life. I am not as decided about it as you are but I am really having to give a serious look at this collection. The retro matte l/s will be mine though.

I remember there was an award show not long ago and she was wearing this really pretty dark lipstick. We even talked about it here on Specktra. I don't think we ever found out what she was wearing but I wonder if by chance it's something in this collection. I'm very curious to see what items are in this collection. That's the part I'm excited about. Because it sounds like a sizeable collection. For all I know I might be satisfied with just 1 piece. LOL.

Like I said when they were saying Miley Cyrus might be the next vg spokesmodel. I'm not a fan, but if the lippie is nice, I'd get it. I didn't know who Azealia Banks was but her lippie was nice to me so I got it.

Yikes, folks, no need to get in a pissing contest about who is the better celebrity. They've all got issues like you and me. Even Queen B is a liar and a thief.

It will get lame to come to this thread daily and have to read about whether or not random people on the internet "agree" with her decisions/lifestyle. I'm not a RiRi stan in the least, but this is already

and it's been less than 24 hours since the announcement. Sorry if I'm being old and crotchety, but well, I am.

I'm not directing this at anyone in particular I can just see where this thread is headed and it makes me a little sad. I guess I'm sensitive to debating a woman's worth.

Crikey, now I'm a person commenting on her status. This topic is an evil seductress.

i'm not getting anything from the collection because her autograph in the packaging bothers me too much(i think it's untasteful).When she got back with the guy that beat her up she lost my respect.And maybe she didn't sign up to be a role model but unfortunately now she is.I think she should be more responsible about it.And obviously this is only MY opinion.She has the right to live her life the way she wants and i have the right to my opinion.I hope it's a good collection for ppl who want to splurge on it

Today is Rihanna's bday too, she's 25. Is she still a spokesperson of Nivea?
No, they dropped her as the spokesperson. And apparently she bashed the CEO for the decision.

Lil Kim (drugs, alcohol, abortions, way oversexualized image for back then), Mary J. Blige (drugs, alcohol, committed domestic violence against men), Diana Ross (getting pregnant by your manager and then marrying someone else and not telling your daughter who her father was for a really long time, arrested for weed possession in the airport), Cyndi Lauper (doing drugs and writing songs about drugs), Lady Gaga (cocaine use and smoked weed on stage), Marilyn Monroe (a doozy- drugs, unprofessional, adulterer, mental issues). Those are the ones who readily came to mind. But you know what, I bought and enjoyed all of the products that they promoted.

Now, on to Rihanna. She smokes a lot of weed and got beat up by her boyfriend. I could care less about the weed smoking, but the getting beat up by her boyfriend AND getting back together with him part bothers me. It bothers me because thousands of women do it every day, but Rihanna has the means to get the psychological help to overcome the mental issues that make her want to go back to an abuser. But, she doesn't and I think that's sad. Still, I don't think she should be punished for being a domestic violence victim. And, all I KNOW is, is that I can't wait to see this collection. That bluer Ruby Woo is mine!

Off Topic- I'd really like to see a Naomi Campbell "collection." Either from MAC or NARS. I hope that's in the works.
And even she's had her own issues. Drugs, anger management issues. I bet that would be a nice collection though.
yes.gif


And should I hide in shame for not having Ruby Woo?
