Makeup Look: Mary J. Blige June Essence Cover Makeup (w/Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette)

On Essence Magazine's June 2012 Cover, Mary J. Blige is looking like a majestic African Queen! ♥

They don't call her the Queen of R&B for nothin'!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her make up on the cover, so I did my own version of it ^_^

I love the smokey aspect of the eyes...

I flushed out the cheeks a bit, and kept the lips natural, just like Mary J.!

Outfit Of The Day: Nautical or Not?

Summer calls, and so do the lovely summer themes of FASHION!

I was in a "nautical" kind of mood...

And here's my Face Of The Day (FOTD)!

Outfit Of The Day: All Black Everything!

Did I ever mention that black is one of my favorite colors/shades of ALL TIME? No? Oh. My bad. Cuz it is.

What better way to compliment black than with goooooold accessories and colorful nails?

rings - forever 21 & h&m

necklace - forever 21

blouse - forever 21

shoes - qupid

for my face makeup, I settled for a natural looking eye, with colorful, semi-dramitic lips ♥

Here's the full outfit of the day vid ♥

What do you think of wearing all black? All for it? Or save it for a fune-a-gro (shout out to Madea...lol) ? Leave your thoughts below =)

NOTD: Revlon Nail Art FrenchMix in Sneak Peek

I looooove great drugstore finds! ♥

While minding my business in Rite Aid the other day, I stumbled upon this lovely nail art duo by Revlon! It was in it's own seasonal display, and calling my name... O_O

These Revlon Nail Art French Mix duos are meant to be used to create a colorful French manicure, but I'm not too fond of French manicures myself. Even though the colors are complimentary to each other, I love them more separately! My favorite color of the two would have to be the periwinkle blue color! It's such a pretty dusty blue! 

(above is the periwinkle blue color in the shade)

Have any of you picked up one of the new Revlon Nail Art French Mix Duos? If so, which one caught your attention? =)
