I'm obsessed with Natalia Kills new video ' Saturday Night '! She always has great visuals for all of her projects and I think thats why I'm a fan...not really into her music so much but she is talented and this song is very hauntingly catchy and dark.

How can you not be mesmerized by her? In these live performances it reminded me of some of some of the past/present Dolce & Gabbana collections for some reason ( Spring 2013 , Spring 2012 )

I've been trying to hide my secret love for Rihanna but when it comes to her makeup looks and her fashion sense shes pretty hot! I can't even hate! Straight off the press from Temptalia & WWD WWD reports that MAC and Rihanna will be collaborated for four color collections for later on this year.

You guys I've never been a skin care person... actually I've neglected my skin horribly even though I wear makeup on a day to day basis(gross!). Lets take a brief moment to go back in time to when I was in my teens the only skin care products that I can remember using were Neurtrogena and remembering them drying my face out horribly. My gripe and my love hate hate relationship with skin care is that I hate having to buy and/or not knowing what works for my skin and I hate when people rave on certain products that work for them because with skin care everyone and I mean everyone skin is different even though skin is broken down into four different categories (dry,normal,oily,combination) its still confusing because just because you use an oil free product on your skin but that doesn't mean its a for sure thing to use for your oily skin?! Am I the only one that feels like this? Its just like foundation (makeup) you have to take a risk on spending your money on a product th...

[Photos: Illamasqua ] Illamasqua is one of those beauty brands that is innovative not only in their collections but with also being a high quality brand while also catering to the every day woman like myself.

Words can not explain how happy I am with Drew Barrymore launching her own makeup line called ' Flower ' and no its not some lame ass two eyeshadows three lipsticks and one powder compact its a full-on-makeup-line! theres probably over 50 items(don't hold me to that!) in this line! See my previous post January Beauty Wish List and see some of the things I want (its not even half of it! I would buy the whole line if I could) I have such a deep rooted love for her she's one of the many people who've helped me love being who I am and helped me raise my freak flag high, she will always fuel my inspiration and I will continue to support what ever she does in her career!

When I fall in love with a beauty product I'm pretty much set on that one or few products for life. So its rare that I ever want to venture out and try new things but its always healthy to try new things and if they work then great but if they don't move on to the next! Here are some beauty products that I want to try out this month! Enjoy! P.S If you've tried any of these products yet leave a comment and tell me they worked out for you?!

( photos: Red Carpet Fashion,Glamour ) Its so hard to find Black women as style icons that are actually consistent and relievent in their work that I actually admire and thats really sad to say because there aren't a lot (in my opinion) out there or maybe I'm not looking hard enough but no one has caught my eye yet besides Kerry. Whether she styles herself or has a stylist she always finds a way to make it her own and it doesn't looked forced. If you've been following Kerry' stylish looks through out her Press junket for 'Django Unchained and also through out 2012 up to now she's been wearing a lot of asian influenced looks and I love it! here are some of her looks that admire
