For Women Of Color, This App Makes Finding Makeup So Much Easier

Because Ruby Woo doesn't look the same on everybody.

But 26-year-old beauty enthusiast and blogger Ofunne Amaka is helping other women side-step that problem with Cocoa Swatches, an app that aims to help people of color find makeup that actually works.

In addition to the Instagram page of the same name, which has amassed over 20,000 followers in less than a year, Amaka also runs the Twitter and website.

But shortly after images of this particular bag began circulating the web, fans of an L.A. stylist and designer, Sonique Saturday, began questioning if Gucci had stolen the idea from her signature handbag line, Belladonna.

Saturday has been painting counterfeit designer bags, with phrases like "Fake Chanel" and "You Fake Like This Birkin," for four years now.

She tells BuzzFeed that she was inspired to create the faux designs because she "wanted to let young people know that your substance does not lie in a fashion house's hands."

Target Is Collaborating With Marimekko For Prints That Are To Die For

Scandinavian style FTW.

Are you a FREAK when it comes to patterns and prints?

You probs mix and match. The word "bold" is your fave. And you're often wearing at least 4 patterns at any given time.

abbyward.com

Then you probs already ~love~ Finnish design house Marimekko.

Their bold patterns are swoon-worthy, but so are the price tags (in a fainting kind of way). With items ranging from $200 to $500, the line is a bit more aspirational than attainable.

Marimekko / Via instagram.com

Which is why you should get ready for the collab of your dreams: Target + Marimekko

Target is teaming up with the pattern-happy Finnish brand for an affordable lifestyle line of fun prints and bold colors, according to a press release.

Target

Marimekko for Target features more than 200 pieces that include women's fashion, outdoor décor, and colorful furniture.

The collection also features swimsuits, entertaining essentials, hammocks, swimsuits, and even a bocce ball set. For women's clothing, sizes range from 2 to 26.
