Sweet Tea: Amber Rose – “Fame”

embedded by Embedded Video

I recently reported that Amber Rose dropped her first single, FAME. Well, here it is for you to check out. Do you love it? Hate it? Should she stick to the model/arm candy thing or does she have a career? I personally think she’s in over her head and doesn’t have enough personality or a strong enough voice to really carry a singing career. Look at what happened to Cassie! Models turned singers don’t fare to well with the public. Stick to rocking that hot bald look and working those sexy kicks. Thoughts? Please feel free to share!

I’m Currently Obsessed With…Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Gel Eyeshadows

Maybelline, 24 Hour Color Tattoo Gel Eyeshadows, www.maybelline.com

Last night, while watching the Republican Debates, I happened to come across a commercial for the new 24 Hour Color Tattoo gel eyeshadows from Maybelline. All I could do was stare as I watched the beautiful models strut their highly pigmented and shadowed eyelids as if they were sporting precious jewels on their lids. I am so looking forward to rocking these in spring and summer. There’s something very modern yet edgy about a wash of color across the lid and a pale lip. Also, these shadows can be used as liners too which means they are multi-facted. Stay tuned for a review!
