Do you ever hear a certain song & it automatically just puts you in a great mood & you just feel like dancinggggg, lol? Lately, I've been playing Alexandra Stan - Mr. Saxobeat on repeat! It's just one of those songs that has an infectious beat & really makes you wanna move. I love listening to this song when I'm getting ready to go out! Enjoy :)

I love Leopard!!! Hear me "RawR" :)
Leopard print. My #1 guiltiest fashion obsession. I feel people either LOVE IT or HATE IT! In all honesty..I love it (when used correctly, I'm not talking 'head to toe leopard messiness' for example: Jerseylicious hahaha) Leopard print can actually be extremely tasteful, classy, & sexy all at the same time when done correctly. & I truly believe that it has been & is going to always be a timeless trend. Below, I put together a few looks that I think really show that leopard print can be fabulous!!! Rawrrrr. ;)

Nicole Scherzinger for Marie Claire September 2011
Nicole Scherzinger is featured inside Marie Claire's September 2011 issue (US edition). In the interview with the magazine, the 33 year old beauty opens up on ambition, being a hard worker & a perfectionist, the new chapter in her life and 'Killer Love', but also on pop-reality shows & Simon Cowell. Peep Nicole's photos for Marie Claire & some interview highlights below. But for more Nicole in the mag click HERE.
Nicole Scherzinger is featured in Marie Claire's September issue. Inside the magazine, she confessed that it was her parents work ethic & a Whitney Houston cassette tape to inspire her ambition. "I definitely have the eye of the tiger. I’ve fought my way to where I am & will continue to do so. I’m a hard worker - I get it from my family. We only know work. Nothing was handed to us. When I believe in something, I go after it. It’s very hard to tell me 'no'", Nicole states.
The former Pussycat Doll is having a great year. She will be a judge on X Factor & will release her new solo album called 'Killer Love'. "I'm a perfectionist, so when I'm in it, I don't know if things are good or not. I'm like, 'Is that good? Are you sure that was good? It could have been better.' Because for me, things can always be better," the singer told the magazine.
Nevertheless, Nicole reveals she's rather the nerdy type & she doesn't try to be cool. "I'm kind of a nerd. My assistant said the other day when she was watching me get ready, 'I wish people saw this side of you. You are really a nerd.' I was rushing around, trying on different make-up — so I had like five different foundations on one side, & a bunch of different lipstick & eye pencils on the other side of my cheek — & my hair was like some crazy side-ponytail, & I was wearing two different shoes asking, 'Which one looks better? What should I do?' as I tripped everywhere. I really don't try to be cool, because I'm not," she says.

Contouring
Contouring your face with makeup has been around for a long time but I feel it's really became much more popular recently! Celebs such as the Kardashians, Lala, Eva Longoria, Mila Kunis, & Cassie (+more) have all taken on this technique. A great contoured cheek just really sculpts the face & LITERALLY can be an instant face lift!
You’ll need:
*A vivid blush color (don’t be scared—orange, bright pink, reds, corals, and reds look great in the summer especially on bronzed skin)
*A contour (can be a blush, bronzer, foundation, concealer, powder 2-3 shades darker than your skintone)
*A highlight (can be blush, bronzer, foundation, concealer, luminizer, but should be lighter than your skin)
*A blush brush and powder brush (good to have two or three so you don’t “muddy” the blush, contour, and highlight colors by mixing the shades together on accident)
Apply your blush to the apples of the cheeks, dust the contour in the hollows, & sweep the highlight shade on the tops of the cheekbones. Lightly blend where the colors meet & voila! You’re done.
