Nelly Takes Shots At The Label


So the Hip Hop chart topper recently released his newest album, "5.0" earlier this month. He has collaborations with Akon, T-Pain, Keri Hilson and more. He even made a part two to his biggest selling hit, "Dilemma" feat. Kelly Rowland. He sold 63,000 the first week, making this album release the worst first week sales in his whole career.

Earlier today rapper Nelly got on twitter and started pointing fingers. He blamed Universal for the lack of promotion and claimed they only shipped out 200,000 copies. Are Nelly's accusations true or does he just suck a**? Lol. I'm going with both!

The Power of Accessories...Cascading Earrings

EARRINGS ARE THE BOMB DOT COM!!!!! I love how earrings can make your make-up and hair come together. I have been in situations in which I either love my hair or make-up and it just takes me putting on some dramatic earrings on to fall in love with my look. I was researching and Cascading Earrings is what's in. The hottest celebrities are becoming very daring with their earrings and let me not even get into the runway scene!

Get "lyrics N lipstick's Formal 2010 look

I've been getting multiple messages asking me to speak about my formal look- which actually got me the best dressed female. To tell you the truth, this was the easiest look I've ever done! I did the makeup of 5 girls, only had 30minutes to get ready and couldn't even curl my hair! But its ok! I guess it all worked out! The thing is people usually dress up in black in formal events. I love black dresses, however when everyone is wearing black- its hard to stand out. So, I chose a straight cut short, royal blue with a halter cut. See the pic below
I can't stress how easy this look is.  You just need a vibrant blue dress and accessorize it with silver. I got the silver shoes at "Necessary Clothing" for $19.99. They are comfortable and very cute. Steve Madden and Aldo's had similar shoes but range from $60- $120- and a fashionista is a recessionista! lol
Because it was a halter cut dress, I did not wear much jewelry- I just wore some dramatic earrings- which I bought at forever 21 for about $8.00 Check below

 As far as the makeup, I kept it glamorous yet simple enough for anyone to duplicate.  I used Silver, a darker shimmery silver and royal blue- which I blended in with the dark shimmery silver. Please comment below if you want me to explain how I did my eyes.



Just add some confidence and your personal swag and there you have it!!!
ENJOY!!!!

Sexy Yourself with Lace!

My sexy and independent ladies...Guess what!? Lace is back and especially if its black- but nude is cute too.( I'm really feeling how these words are rhyming) You know me, when it comes to research..and I've seen lace in most of the hottest fashion shows. 
I personally love wearing laced items, however, some females feel a bit uncomfortable because sometimes skin is being shown. If this is the case, you can wear a simple cami under and still look sexy. Now, if you are wearing it without a cami, try to wear the same color bra as the color of the lace. This keeps the look polished, yet sexy. Some wear it with a different color bra and it can look as if you are trying to hard (just saying) Below, I have posted some items that you might enjoy. Please visit my fav online store for more looks www.karmaloop.com
