Reviews for beauty products can certainly be helpful but they rarely qualify as serious entertainment.
One reviewer’s over-the-top commentary on Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty website is so hilarious, however, that it went viral in a matter of days.
The review, which was first discovered and Tweeted out by Rihanna fan Shaun Juan, is from a customer who goes by the name Eden, and really, really loves the Fenty foundation.

This review is so flawless! One consumer loved her Fenty Beauty Foundation so much that she wrote an opus to it on the brand’s website. Her hilarious commentary has recently gone viral
‘I mean . . . I’m trying to be humble but I can’t,’ she writes on the site. ‘I’m fly. I only need one application on my face and it looks like I’ve been blessed. Like….I drink my water, mind my bidness, and only get petty when it’s well deserved.’
The specific product she’s referring to is Rihanna’s $34 Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, which has already become something of a cult-favorite among beauty junkies, despite launching just four months ago.
Eden continues by writing: ‘I walk around looking like a life-size Academy Award. If you don’t stop and ask me what am I using for my skin, then you’re just a hater ’cause I’m stopping traffic.
‘I’m getting invited to all the cookouts, your boyfriend, his brother AND his best friend want to holler at me but I’m faithful to my man. My man is trying to find a way to love me a little less but he can’t cause I’m even more elevated. And I’m just steady blessing his life.
‘What can I say? #440 was good to me. I already have great skin…but now….it’s like it ain’t safe for me to walk down these streets anymore. I’m too fly to walk with common folk now…… Bless up. And I mean that in the most humblest way possible.’

Eden isn’t the only lavishing praise for the foundation on Fentybeauty.com. The product has more than 2,200 reviews, and the overwhelming majority (1,840) give it five stars.
Much of the positive commentary centers around the variety of shades offered.
Eden’s beloved #440 is a cool brown color on the darker end of the 40-shade spectrum.
The comprehensive range is in stark contrast to other cosmetics brands who offer only a limited number of shades, especially at the time launch.
Earlier this week, make-up brand Tarte was called out for offering only a limited number of foundation shades for darker complexions.

Days later, Tarte announced it would be adding 10 additional shades to its collection of Shape Tape Foundation, which just launched and isn’t even in stores yet.
The brand was then criticized for saying it added additional shades seasonally, with naysayers pointing out that people with darker skin tones don’t only have them in warm weather.
Amidst the controversy, many Twitter users suggested that those upset with Tarte or unable to find a shade match try Fenty.
