In Flex We Trust!

Last week I was chosen to be model of the week on Funk Master Flex's blog/website www.InFlexWeTrust.com by Monse, Hot 97 on air personality & producer of Angie Martinez Show. I was thrilled and flattered that I could be a part of that. I was told by a great friend that whenever you do an interview, never go back and read the comments because it'll either make your head big or break you down. Needless to say, I looked anyways just to see the feedback. I only wanted to see sheesh, It didn't hurt nothin..lol.. What I am kind of uneasy about is that people are actually tweeting me saying how I can't spell and all that. What they don't know is that, I had a phone interview. I spell perfectly fine.. I'm human and at times I make mistakes and we all have a few typo's here and there. My interview was quick and to the point! If you missed it feel free to check it out by clicking HERE

A few weeks ago, I threw away my M.A.C Studio Fix that comes in a compact and I purchased the M.A.C Pro Longwear foundation & concealer. I am absolutely in love with it because it lasts all day long and you don't have to re-apply or anything. It's very light and goes on smooth. The only thing I have a problem with is taking it off because it's just like paint. I believe its semi water proof if it's not totally waterproof. If you don't have the M.A.C wipes or something heavy duty to take it off there will be a bit left on your skin and may clog your pores. Hopefully everyone knows how to remove their make-up properly!

Pink Friday!!

As everyone knows, or has some sort of idea, I am probably Nicki Minaj's biggest closet stan. I've listened to her every since day one. I've followed her career for a very long time and I probably know every single lyric she's ever recited. She has progressed so much and I have a better appreciation for her career since I watched her documentary "My Time Now" that aired on MTV.

When I found out that she teamed up with my absolute favorite make up line MAC, I was sooo super excited! I couldn't wait to bust down Saks door to get to the counter to purchase "Pink Friday". But then.. Dun Dun Duuuuuunnnnn.. it was only going to be sold ONLINE for FOUR fridays!! I said "SAY WHAT?!" I though I would never get through because there are so many "Barbz & KenBarbz" logged in trying to get Pink Friday. Yes, the first time, I was late. Of course I was. So they say, "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again" (idk who "they" are) but I tried again last Friday and I got through!!! YAAAAY!! Yes! I was on M.A.C's site at exactly 11:58 counting down. At 12:00 midnight, I refreshed the page and it was a no go. So I kept refreshing until I saw "add to cart". And I Added it to MY CART and checked outta there! and today, it is HERE!!

So, what I found out is: Pink Friday is actually the same as/extremely similar to Pink Nouveau. They are both in the Satin category as well. No I'm not mad at all because I'd rather my lip stick say "Pink Friday" in the name of Nicki Minaj. lol (im a sad soul)

We all know what it looks like cuz she wears it like every day. But here it is on YANA NICHOLE. Enjoy!

I should of filled my eye brows in but, you get the idea! I finally tried out my Sedona Lace 120 Eye shadow palette. This was the very first look I had to try. I forget exactly where I got the idea but I though it was dope enough to try. Hope you like!

Sedona Lace 120 Palette

Last week, I finally placed my order for my 120 count eyeshadow palette from www.SedonaLace.com, and it came in the mail yesterday. The only thing that was holding me back from ordering it was because I wanted to get the MAC one but, I wanted to try something different and go with a different company. From my understanding, they are the same except the pots from Sedona are smaller than the ones from MAC.

When I placed my order, my dear friend Katrina Lomidze gave me her "Promo Code" and I instantly received $4 off. She said it was $3 and I was excited but when it took off $4 I was even more excited! Thank You Katrina!

It arrived in a cute lil brown box with foam peanuts and tons of bubble wrap. So it was very protected so the eye shadow wouldn't crack or break. Once I opened it, it had plastic film over each 60 count palette, and a red ribbon for easy lifting. The only two things I would say that could be improved are the repeating colors and what looks like oil from finger prints or something oily around the eye shadow pots. Other than that, I am very pleased with the product! So if you don't have a 120 eye shadow palette, I suggest that you treat yourself to one because it comes in handy and very affordable!

Ms. April Showers

A few months back, I had a great opportunity to work with Lauren Luna. A fantastic artist who resides in Columbus Ohio. She emailed me late 2009 asking if I would be interested in modeling a custom sneaker, and I would represent my birthday month. Unfortunately, I didn't get my birthday month which is March, but I did get the next best month in the spring which is April. April showers brings May flowers so, my shoe was filled with beautiful Monarch butterflies against a green background which represented grass/tress/nature to match the umbrella I held up so I wouldn't get my hair wet ;o). Along side of me in the Calendar is the wonderful Jayonna Fabro, Andrea Marie and about 10 other beautiful models.

Brand New Goth

For this look, I was a bit inspired by the Prada's fall 2009 runway show. They had sort of a Vampire feel as to where I took it to something different and added bronze, kept the eyebrows, and added black eye shadow and a heavy black lip. So I call it:

Classic TrophyWife Look

I was going to do a video tutorial on how I do my "Classic TrophyWife" look, but I decided to wait. Many of you are probably like "huh? classic trophywife". For those of you that don't know, I am a glamour model and I go by the name "TrophyWife". My classic look is just a bronzed face, highlighting my cheek bones and jaw line with a semi smoky eye. As you have noticed, I am trying to slowly but surely turn my blog into a beauty blog and something more personal with fashion and such. Only because, that's what I'm interested in and it's a common subject with women. As the days, weeks, months go on I will be doing much more, so please stay tuned.

"CLASSIC TROPHYWIFE" look:

This is a look that I wear daily not only because it's neutral and goes well with the all black that I always wear, but also because I can just put it on quickly and go.

Basketball Wives Season 2

i don't usually put this kind of stuff up on my blog but, i thought that this season teaser was pretty interesting. As much as I hate the fact that they exploit their personal lives on television to an extent, i love the show and Evelyn's eye make-up always looks nice!
