Fragrant Friday - Trini Girl by Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is back with a new fragrance just in time for the holidays  that pays tribute to her Trinidadian origins:

Nicki Minaj Trini Girl - 50ml EDP - $39.99 - a fresh floral-fruity blend with top notes of litchi, blood orange, quince and sorbet; heart notes of apple blossom, Trinidadian chaconia flower and dewy leaves; and base notes of white musk and coconut cream.

The bottle is the usual distinctive doll-like form of Nicki Minaj, this time in bright pink with golden details and I must admit, these always creep me out - Nicki Minaj with no arms staring at me from my dresser in the middle of the night...

Available now exclusively Shoppers Drug Mart. And come February 2017,  will also be available at London Drugs, Jean Coutu and Uniprix.

Ricky & Nicki for MAC Viva Glam

I was concerned at first that Ricky Martin would actually have a Viva Glam lipstick colour so was very happy to find out that his contribution is a (clear) lip conditioner! Not that men shouldn't wear lipstick - hey, I lived through the 80s Duran Duran period - I just don't think it's right for Ricky!

 

 

Viva Glam Nicki - bright yellow pink - $17.50
Lip Conditioner - clear - $18

And of course, every cent of the selling price will go to supporting the MAC Aids Fund to raise HIV/AIDS awareness among young people around the globe.

Available February 15th at all MAC locations and www.maccosmetics.com

OPI Nicki Minaj - Save Me, Metallic 4 Life, Fly, Did It On 'Em, Pink Friday and Super Bass Shatter - swatches!

The OPI Nicki Minaj limited edition collection was inspired by Niki's unique style, love of bright colours and her debut album, Pink Friday!

Super Bass Shatter - purple - I know some people have told me that they are over shatter but I still like it - it's such an quick solution for me when I chip a nail and don't have time to redo - it's much easier to just throw a coat of shatter over my nails then to take off the polish and redo!

Save Me - silver-rainbow glitter - love this one! Especially the long green and blue bits!

Metallic 4 Life - charcoal sparkle

Fly - aqua - really love this one, it's also on my toes!

Did It On 'Em - lime - it's a fun colour but I think I'm too pale for it, it just makes me look sickly!

Pink Friday - pink

Available January for a limited time at Professional Salons and Spas for $10.95 a pop - although I've heard word that some Trade Secrets already have them so keep your eyes peeled!

Nicki Minaj's New Video: One Bad Song Wrapped in a Delicious Video!

Honestly, I don't care for Nicki Minaj's new song, it's not even bad enough to be funny. But, this "Super Bass" video features the hottest abs around, so I wanted to share the eye candies with all of you, girls guys!
Even better, Nicki wears a few eye catching shoes, including these amazing Versace heels from the Spring 2011 collection. These shoes are so crazy: futuristic, stripperlicious and...expensive. I want them SO bad! In fact, I might fantasize about them for a while.

 Forget this guy's abs...I made that face too, when I saw these Versace beauties!

Grammys: I Want Nicki Minaj's Hair!

Oh Nicki Minaj...that hairdo is genius! I mean, leopard print in your hair? That's fierce. While Lady Gaga made her grand entrance in an egg, her stage outfit was underwhelming...she looked like Madonna circa 1990...hardly anything new. Also what I like about Minaj is the joy that emanates from her, she looks like someone fun to hang out with - I saw her once on the Fashion Police TV show and she's not afraid of poking fun at herself...while Lady Gaga's interviews are BORING. La Caca takes herself so seriously, it's almost comical.

Esperanza Balding, the Grammy winner in the New Artist category (oh snatch, Justin Bieber) was a little OTT:  crazy dress, crazy color, big hairdo, and purple shoes...hmm, no thank you.

Also on the red carpet: Miley Cyrus had the biggest side boob cleavage I've seen in a long time, looking like her usual trashy self. Katy Perry managed not to irritate me, for once and Willow Smith sounded more articulate than Marc Anthony.
