Barbados-inspired beauty.
The music industry’s most iconic couple have teamed up to create a new launch for Fenty Skin. Rihanna x A$AP is here. Labelled “the baddest lip balm out there” by the rapper himself, the Lux Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balm is a Barbados-inspired “juicy cherry-powered lip balm” enriched with Vitamin E and shea butter. It is marketed as a unisex product to renew dry, chapped lips with the appearance of lip gloss but all the benefits of lip balm.
This is an unexpected venture for the rapper, right? Maybe not so much. A$AP Rocky’s single ‘Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)’, released in 2023, actually teases the lip balm in its lyrics prior to its release. He raps:
It was later revealed that the song shared a name with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s first son, Riot (RZA) born late last year.
Is skincare the new route for the rapper? Either way, let’s give A$AP some credit for his part in the production of what he dubs the “ultimate lip savior.”
