I realized that I ran out of my FAVORITE lipstick from MAC, so I decided to visit the nearest MAC Pro Store this afternoon to RE-UP on my product, and guess what I ran into!? The New MAC 2012 Viva Glam featuring Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin. It’s no secret that I am a Nicki Minaj fan and I also LOVE me some Ricky Martin (by the way, when are we getting married Ricky?)

Nicki has a Pink lipstick featured and Ricky has a smooth lip conditioner that’s for the ladies and gentlemen! Every cent of the selling price supports the MAC AIDS Fund.

Although I still cannot believe this, The legendary “VOICE” WHITNEY HOUSTON passed away today.
As a kid into my teen years, Whitney’s voice was THE TRUTH! I grew up listening to her music and watching her films. Whitney was always that one artist who will ALWAYS be here and forever! It’s so unreal to me right now and So sad.
You WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! Nothing else to say…

UPDATE (video) Whitney Houston’s Grammy Moments…

Let’s talk about “INSPIRATION” Wheather it comes from a makeup artist, photographer, musician, or even from viewing vandalism created on an old building… Inspiration can still be found.
I was going through an old Vogue Magazine (while packing up for my 1st move in 3 years) and came across a picture that I was mesmerized  and inspired by. So I did some research + I found the master behind the work… His name is Greg Lotus.
This guy has done editorial work for major American and European publications and his celebrity portfolio is equally extensive (LIKE MAJORLY EXTENSIVE)
Lotus has shot advertising campaigns for Escada, L’Oreal, Swarovski, Cartier, Levi’s, Neiman Marcus and Van Cleef & Arpels. His work can be found regularly in the pages of Italian Vogue, American Vanity Fair, GQ, L’Uomo Vogue, and W magazine.

Most people don’t realize that after the age of 25 our skins important collagen & elastin production starts to slowly decline. I’m not going to turn into “Doctor Santae” on this post, but to sum everything up: Good eating habits, exercising, great skincare, and enough rest can keep you looking GREAT even when you’re age is “GOING OVER THE HILL”

I have been missing in action for quite a while now, but I am back baby! Welcome 2012!

It’s a brand new year so why not share some brand new music?

I can’t say that I have a favorite genre because I love anything that’s pleasing to the ear. From R&B to Classical, Pop, Country, Rock to Rap… I like it all.

I can definitely appreciate a good rap artist that has a “sophisticated and slick flow” …..and with that being said, I want to introduce an underground + unsigned rap artist by the name of PhamtomDaMonsta! I’ve been acquainted with Phantom (who is also called “Tony”) for about a little over 2 years now and was impressed with his brilliant lyrics that are solid and smooth.

He has star quality and seems to be 110% focused on his craft. I can definitely predict that he is a star in the making. He already has a sh*t load of fans, over 200,000 views on youtube videos and has performed in different shows around the USA.

Below is a playlist of Music and videos from his Freestyle covers that you can check out along with his contact information!

If I had to choose one word to describe NICKI MINAJ it would be “UNSTOPPABLE”
She recently teamed up with OPI Nail Lacquer and will launch her collection of Nail Polish in 2012.

The titles of each polish are all MINAJ related:  “SuperBass” “Metal 4 Life” “Did it On Em” and there are more!
You Girl! I know for sure that I will be purchasing “Fly” …I absolutely love that color!

Summer is here and the sun is out. I’m so ready for the fall. It’s just too damn hot here in TEXAS! What’s hotter than this heat, you ask?  How about a pair of FENDI (spring/summer 2011) sunglasses to block out the sun and keep you looking fab! I’m definitely in love with the color selection + the shape of these frames! The price for these are DAMN NEAR A MONTHLY CAR PAYMENT a bit much ($395) …not if you’re ballin’ I guess.
Check out my favs of the collection below!

One of my favorite songs by Janet Jackson (that WILL NEVER GET OLD) is “Come back to me” It takes me back to the good ol’ days when life was great. Sometimes artists will try to remake a classic and put their own twist to it. The beautiful, Tierra Marie who would be my WIFE if I was STRAIGHT put her own spin to it… There’s nothing to compare to the original but I think she did well. The link for the song is below…
