Rihanna "Diamonds" Music Video & Makeup Look

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky....

Rihanna has finally released her video for her amazingly awesome song Diamonds!!!

I had patiently waited for this video for weeks, and now it's HERE! \o/

In this video, Rihanna SLAYED.

The video plays out like a mysterious story. You'll see a bit of chaos during the video, but even through the chaos, the lovely Ri-Ri is at peace :)

Diamonds music video also highlights the different elements like earth, water, wind, and fire in each different scene. Don't know why. It just does. *shrugs*

Sidenote: Did yall see that arm of the hand she was grabbing throughout the video?!? Did that arm remind you of anyone in particular *cough* Chris Brown *cough* or was it just me?

And, of course, her lovely eye makeup in the video just takes the cake!

You can see the Diamonds video below:

I loved her makeup in the scenes with the horses, so I recreated the makeup look and made it my own :)

COMING SOON! Urban Decay Naked 2 (New Naked Palette)

Ladies & gents, the rumors are TRUE! The Naked 2 Palette is coming soon!!!

WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 I am so ecstatic that it's actually being released, I don't know what to do with myself!

Look at this beauty...

It looks like the Naked 2 palette will come with a mini lip gloss, and a dual sided brush. No primer or double-ended liner this time guys :(

I must say, though, the brush looks very nice!

The shades that will be featured in this palette are Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, and Blackout.

This palette looks VERY promising! I know I'll be ordering one as soon as possible. What are your thoughts on the Naked 2 palette? Will you be purchasing one?
