Music Highlight - Lights on Lik

I know this is a beauty blog & all but I don't like to limit anything.I have to give a shout-out to my fav rapper Lik Skyy! He is extremely talented & really creative. Lik is a member of Team Tokyo & has a promising future in the rap game.

Haven't heard any of his songs? listen below to a snippet of his latest single 'Everybody Freeze'.

Fierce Is an Understatement...

Rihanna covers Elle's July 2010 Issue. I ♥ her & I adore these pics. Below are quotes mentioned in the issue about her fave designers & bf Matt Kemp. 

  

Rihanna on Fashion--Her Fave Designers...

"It's clear there are definitely fewer black women in the high-fashion industry. One of the things I respected most about Gucci was that they did a print campaign with me. I'm a black girl on a fashion spread for Gucci—that was a big deal. I respect designers who aren't afraid to go outside the box. I went to a Jean Paul Gaultier show, and I saw girls who are thicker than me, beautiful and voluptuous and different ethnicities. That made me so excited. I thought, Okay, I can work that, for sure."

On Bf --Matt Kemp ♥♥

"I have a boyfriend. I'm so happy. I feel really comfortable, and it's so easy. I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family." 

Shea's Wishlist ♥

For those who CARE these are just a few things that I've had my eye on to add to my collection. As you all know my bday is coming up July 17th so these are the perfect gifts! (I will also take money of course) :)

1. I NEED a brush set & this one is perfect! The Sigma Professional Complete Kit

I've done plenty of research & these a best bet for a up & coming artist to get started. They've been compared to MAC brushes & are practically identical. 

it cost $69.00 for 12 brushes!

available at sigmamakeup.com

2. Second, I really need a NEW C-thru lipglass from MAC since while rushing to do my sister's makeup this past weekend I accidentally jammed my mascara into it. Now its a grey instead of nude :( its one of my fave's too. great-everyday look.

only $14.00! available in MAC stores or online

3. I've heard a lot about MAC's Engraved Powerpoint Eye Pencil. (mainly from LeinaBaaaby). Its supposedly really creamly & glides on smooth. A staple for the makeup collection. 

$14.50 at MAC stores or online

4. Nars is a brand im dying to try out. I've heard so much about it, but have yet to try any of their products. But when I do, I want it to be their Orgasm Illuminator, a complexion enhancer that goes on sheer.

$29.00 at Sephora 

As seen on celebs...

Zoe Saldana ♥

Need I say more? I MUST HAVE IT!

well this is all for now loves. I'm sure i'll be adding to the list soon.

My Top 5 Fav Makeup Guru's

On YouTube that is! I love watching makeup tutorials of all kinds whether it be theatre/film makeup, drag, celebrity makeup remakes, or just the basic application of makeup. It's a hobby for me. Some that I come across are not that interesting, or just don't apply makeup well but I have a few favorites that I watch on a regular basis & I want to share them w/you!

1st off my latest fav is DulceCandy87- Not only a makeup guru but a fashionista also. & she's been featured in Seventeen Mag!
