Makeup Look: Nicki Minaj "I Luv Dem Strippers" Music Video Inspired

Yes, that's why I'm crowned queen, and I ain't lookin' for the prom king!

This makeup look was inspired by the look Nicki Minaj wore in 2 Chainz music video for the song "I Luv Dem Strippers". Yes, I know, the title of the song can be quite off-putting....

but I love my rachet music, and this song fits the bill! Don't judge me... ( .__.)

No...I'm not cross-eyed. I'm just not photogenic. At all.

WHY, BABY JESUS, CAN I NOT TAKE A GOOD PICTURE?! :'(((((

Just focus on the makeup, guys...please! Lol!

Girls stay pressed... I call 'em a space bar! Nicki's words, not mine. :P

NOTD: Revlon Sublime Strawberry

Because of this Nail Of The Day, I was sniffing my nails in public. Yes, it may sound cray-cray, but let me explain...

This nail color is Revlon Sublime Strawberry, one of Revlon's scented nail polishes! It smells so yummy, I couldn't resist sniffing my nails almost every time I looked at them. =P

It smells like Trident strawberry gum to me, which just happens to be one of my favorite gum flavors! LOL!

The lovely bubblegum pink color, along with the multi-colored shimmer, help to make this polish a winner in my book. The amazing scent of it helps a lot, too! Absolutely a new favorite for me. If you can get your hands on one of Revlon's scented polishes, please do so! You know you wanna have an excuse to sniff your nails in public, too! ;P

A Peek Into My Summer Style!

This summer, color has been the name of the game for me, in terms of fashion and what I've chosen to wear. I love color, especially in the spring and summer! Those are the best seasons to pretend to be Rainbow Brite's best friend, just as I have ^_^

 These past couple of months, I've tried to incorporate bright colors into most, if not ALL, of my summer outfits.

(earrings: f21, rings: vintage, neckalce: jewelmint, bracelets: forever 21, h&m)

It's funny, though, because my jewelry has been pretty toned down this summer. Not too colorful, and mostly silver and gold. Hmm. Kind of odd for me, but whatevs!

This is an outfit I wore last week. This probably has to be one of my favorite outfits I wore this summer! It's a bustier from Urban Outfitters, thrifted belt, and thrifted shorts.

These Forever 21 nude oxfords have officially been worn the hell out..LOL! They are my favorite pair of flats this summer, because they are the perfect pair of shoes to tone down any colorful outfit. As said previously, I've been one colorful lady this summer, so these shoes were perfect for me!

This was my Face Of The Day I wore the day I was wearing my "favorite" outfit of this summer!

Very bright and colorful, just like I like it! ♥

NOTD: Maybelline Beach Plum

I've never heard of plums growing at beaches, but for a nail color like this, I'll let Maybelline slide!

This is Beach Plum, a limited edition polish from Maybelline's summer collection from two years ago. It's a creme polish, and it's a 2-coater! So pigmented & lovely!

It's more purple-y pink than it is plum, but I think that's what makes it a great color for the summer!

I wish Maybelline would've released another summer collection this year (really, I wish most of my favorite drugstore brands would've released gnarly summer collections...grrrr), but it's ok... I'll make due with my old wanna-be-plummy friend here.

Beyoncé Inspired Outfit Of The Day/Look For Less + FOTD!

Hello lovlies!!!

Long time, no blog post....my bad :(

On the other hand, I have a nice lil' outfit of the day post for you guys today! 

This outfit was inspired by the lovely R&B goddess, Beyoncé!!!

Beyoncé is always a class act, especially when it comes to her outfits of choice. A couple of weeks ago, 

she was spotted in a red tuxedo blazer by Dsquared² and a pair of skinny leather pants by J Brand. The blazer runs for about $560, while the leather pants are about $600.

I LOOOOVED her outfit, and realized that I had similar pieces in my closet already (Don't you just love when that happens) !

Blazer - Forever 21 (it was under $30!) 

Faux Leather Skinny Pants - H&M ($32.50 or $34.50...can't remember the exact price. Sorry luvs!)

Black Patent Leather Cone Heeled Pumps - Steve Madden

Rings - H&M and Forever 21

Necklace & Earrings - Forever 21

Neon Yellow Clutch - Aldo

Here's my FOTD (Face Of The Day) ♥

For my eyes, I used the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette. That palette is one of my favorite neutral palettes of all time! On my cheeks, I was wearing Maybelline New York Expert Wear Blush in Pinch o' Pink #20. On my lips, I had on L'oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude #800.
