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!

Tucan Sam

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!

twitter is probably over capacity because everyone probably tryin to tweet wayne and tell him "welcome home"--smh. what is this world coming to? why are people interested in doing that instead of worrying about politics and their own families and their well being? Lil Wayne can't help ya'll...
