Yummy411: Beyonce and NARS

Beyonce and NARS, totally unrelated, but two of the hottest things in my world right now.
B's new single is my anthem! How does she always get the club bangers?!







Love the song, but don't know how to feel about the vid. Hot choreography, but then again you expect jelly shaking from B. Jelly shakin river dance? The drop it low gyrating? I wish there was a real storyline in addition to the dancing.


Now here's the NARS part. I used the Cordura shadow duo over Fez single cream eye shadow. The business.







(picture courtesty of bellasugar.com)
This picture was the best I found in terms of accurate, clear color. The shadow duo on the right is Cordura, $32 (if you haven't seen it before). The best, most buttery, runway bronze and shimmery chocolate ever! I NOW BELIEVE. Oh no! Someone save me. I don't need another makeup addiction!!! I will not let NARS have my soul!

The single cream eyeshadow in Fez, $22 is superb. It's a nice natural, flattering gold shade. Minimal creasing and worked well for my brown smokey eye. It went on well as a base for the shadows. Very little creasing, if any. My lids had a wonderful, sophisticated glimmer. My camera couldn't catch the sparkle =/

I like what beyonce's saying in her song, Im just not feeling the beat as yet. I think it will grow on me though. Great eyeshadow!

Loving the look!! OMG, I can't stop listening to Single Ladies. It's the hottest song of the year. It's gonna be hot for a good minute. I love the video! It's simple and cost like $5 to make, but the choreography is killin it! I don't even watch vids, but I can't get enough of it!!!

So beautiful, Kia! I'm glad that you posted the video because I haven't been able to get it out of my head! It's fiyah :)

Hey Kia, I so agree with you. B makes great club bangers but I'm not feeling her video at all.
This is my song of the day so if you don't have it check out the blog later on today.

OK I'm with Amina, my NARS wish list is growing and getting insane. I have nothing by NARS yet I know what a disgrace lol Very Pretty look

I've had NARS on the brain lately too. This weekend, I bought Taos and Oasis blushes.

Now I want that eyeshadow!

LOL @ the jelly shaking river dance! It would have been nice if there was an actual plot but it seems like having the video match the song is so 1990's.

Love the look!
