Rihanna’s skincare line Fenty Skin is finally available in the GCC.
Fans of the singer's beauty range can now get their hands on her skincare products at Sephora stores across the region. To celebrate the arrival, for 10 days during the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), The Dubai Mall Promenade will be transformed into an island pop-up.
Taking place from Wednesday, January 6, to Saturday, January 16, The Island by Fenty Skin will allow visitors to explore the range created by the singer, including Fenty Skin Total Cleans'r, Fat Water Pore Refining Serum and Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen.
In addition to being able to try the products, visitors can also take part in interactive experiences, while sipping on a drink from the in-situ tropical juice bar.
Rihanna entered the world of beauty in 2017, when she launched her Fenty line with a foundation in 40 shades, an inclusive shade spectrum that was almost-unheard of at the time.
In July 2020, she announced Fenty Skin, and called on fellow musicians A$AP Rocky and Lil Nas X to appear in the launch video.
Rihanna has also launched a high-end clothing line, backed by fashion giant LVMH, and a lingerie line, Savage X Fenty.

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
