Adidas and Kanye West are bringing back one of the most coveted Yeezy Boost sneakers from their collaborative line. Set to release later this month, the Three Stripes and ‘Ye announce the return of the Yeezy 700 Wave Runner in its original colorway.

Originally released in August 2017, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 features an upper composed of gray and black suede overlays and premium leather with blue mesh underlays, a reflective heel and Three Stripe details. To provide comfort and stability to the base of the shoes, Adidas equips the pair with their signature Boost technology on the midsole.

The Yeezy Boost 700 will be available globally starting Sat., Sept. 15, on adidas.com, select retailers and on the Yeezy Supply website for a limited time only for a suggested price of $300.

In related Kanye West news, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper was recently spotted in the studio with fellow Chicago native Chance The Rapper. “I came out here with Chance to work on his album, and I’ve just been hanging out with my friends,” ‘Ye told Fox 32 News.

My favorite makeup look this summer has been very natural.

With the summer heat, sweat dripping down my face, and my pores more susceptible to being clogged, I’ve shied away from heavy products.

Thick day creams; I’m good on it.
Full coverage foundations; I think not!

Honestly most days, I just like a little mascara, some lip gloss, and a quick swipe of one of my favorite highlighters. It gives you the perfect “I’m confidently glowing in this sun and my skin poppin’ look” and spares you skin from unwanted breakouts.

So, after cleaning out my makeup and recognizing the slew of highlighters I own, I got the idea to pass along some of the best I’ve used to date for you all to add a bit to your collection.

Nars Illuminator (Orgasm)

COST: $30

I don’t have these highlighters in any specific order, but I think this subconsciously came first cause it was one of the first liquid highlighters I started using.

It’s so smooth, perfectly pigmented, and has an amazing smell. (Odd pro, but it really does smell like citrus.) My favorite part about this product is that you can layers it a bit. With a tiny dab, you can add a sheer illuminance to your skin, or use a thicker layer for a more noticeable pop!

Makeup Revolution Liquid Highlighter (Liquid Champagne)

COST: $9

So clearly there is a big difference in cost here. Mainly due to the fact that NARS is a high-end brand and even their smallest travel sized items are on the pricey side.

Yet, fun fact, Make Up Revolution is actually completely cruelty-free and most of their products are vegan! (This highlighter falls under that category, pretty cool right?!)

It comes with a cute dropper and is great not only as a highlighter but also as an additive to your foundation. I like mixing my foundation, a bit of Clinique’s Moisture Surge Moisturizer, and this together to create a tinted moisturizer with an added glow!

ColorFX Glitter Drops (Aurora)

COST: $44

This highlighter also comes with a dropper as an applicator and for good reason. Out of all of these highlights, this is hands down the most pigmented.

That can be a blessing and a curse. If used properly, you will look like a blossoming unicorn from the fairy forest, get too glitter happy and you will look like that unicorn’s sparkling poop walking around on two feet.

Again, you can use this as a highlight, an addition to your foundation, or even use it as a cute pop to your eyeshadow!

This product is also cruelty-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, fragrance-free, and vegan!

Milk Highlighter (Everyday Dewy Highlighter)

COST: $24

Vegan. Smooth. Moisturizing. Multi-use.

This product is good for any skin type and its ingredient list explains why it smells so yummy! Mango butter, coconut oil, avocado oil and other cruelty-free products were blended up for this light reflecting concoction.

You can use one easy swipe and add a subtle glow or layer it up for a more intense look.

This is the only highlighter on the list that isn’t liquid, so if you prefer an easy stick applicator, this is for you. Don’t forget what’s inside though, it emulsifies easily and blends well.

Out of all four, I would say:
-Milk is perfect for every day as advertised and looks great even on a fresh face with no other makeup.

-Revolution is a wonderful choice and being that it’s $9, it is a great deal. If you are looking for a cheap version of NARS grab this one, or even the liquid highlighter from NYX.

-NARS is a boujee brand people love so if you can afford it, get it. It is a wonderful quality and leaves behind a sheer luminance you will love.

-ColorFX the priciest, yet the product that will last the longest. I was nervous to purchase this, but even 2 months into using it I am not even halfway through. A little goes a long way.

I hope you guys glow all summer long, enjoy these suggestions, and comment below what your favorite highlighter is!

Big Sean was down with the Adidas family since 2011, but he has since found greener pastures over at PUMA. Taking to social media yesterday, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper revealed that he’d signed with the sneaker company that is home to Rihanna, Kylie Jenner and more, writing:

“Excited to officially announce that I am now apart of the @PUMA family. I Decided that this was the best path for me creatively, and we’ve been hard at work making sure this first collection is something special. Let’s get it. #2018.”

I Had a chance to meet the wonderful Plus Size Model and creator, who goes by the name Bigsexz, omg she is killing the game. Bigsexz is not only beautiful but very down to earth, her brand is really on point. Couple weeks back she visited my hometown Chicago all the way from Detroit. She had a meet & greet @addictionsluxe 130 Madison St. Oak Park, Il after Bigsexz came in for an interview on Plus Size Pretty Radio which airs every Friday, from 8-10pm on www.que4.org Hosted By Nieisha Bibbs, life was spoke that night and I just know every woman should lend an ear and listen to what she has to say.

Kalif Johnson also was known as Bigsexz was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. BIGSEXZ4REAL earned the name Bigsexz because she is super curvy and always keeps it sexy. Bigsexz started her modeling career in 2015. Debuting in the “Ashley Stewart love your curves tour.” Following her runway experience, she went to do local Detroit fashion shows such as Walk, Dream, Curv Bella, and Stylez. Through these opportunities, she was endorsed to be the modeling face for Curv Bella then and Fashionn Junkiee.

A few months later, Bigsexz started two internet blog shows, “Statuesque” focusing on curvy girl conversation. and “Bigsexz from the D” where she interviewed local and visiting artist. But she didn’t stop there. She soon opened her photography company “Bigsexz Imagez” She wanted to learn both sides of the production not just the stage as a model but, behind the scenes. This leads her into her latest project the “Bigsexz from the D calendar” which showcases local designers and models. Then in 2017, she had the opportunity to be a judge in the ” Finding Ashley Stewart 2017 ” tour when Ashley Stewart came back to Detroit.  Through her journey she charmed and encouraged the plus size community, to be beautiful and love yourself, no matter what point you are in your life or what size you are!

After a very public split from husband Carmelo Anthony, La La Anthony had everyone’s attention and wow has she gave them something to talk about!

First breaking blog headlines with her sexy vacation pics she shared with Instagram followers, Anthony had us all wondering what else she had up her sleeves.

Next, Anthony delivered a sizzling topless scene in the Starz series Power that got her all the attention she could handle, “I’m glad we’re talking about this, I want to address this once and for all. First of all, the problem is people don’t know how to separate La La from LaKeisha. That’s my character on Power, my character on Power is currently in a relationship with Tommy. When you’re in a relationship with someone, you have sex with them,” Anthony stated firmly on The Breakfast Club.

Now, Vogue Fashion has announced the launch of Anthony’s fashion collection exclusively offered in Lord & Taylor stores. Anthony’s collection offers all the things a girl loves about her jeans without all the things she hates, [“I love jeans that don’t pinch around the waist,”]. Vogue Fashion  The collection is offered in sizes 0 to 24, keeping all shapes and sizes in mind. It features five styles of jeans and a small assortment of tops and hoodies. According to Fashion Week Daily ladies have nothing to worry about when is comes to the look of Anthony’s collection,” The collection has been designed to incorporate stretch denim, novelty denim, distressed materials, zipper detailing, asymmetrical hems, frayed details, rolled cuffs jeans, along with fashion denim components.”

Anthony will be having her official launch party Wednesday September 6th at Lord & Taylor’s New York 5th Ave location.
