Nicki Minaj lives in a whimsical realm of cotton candy hair, inflated "assets" and fun, fluorescent colors. Just looking at the rapper assures that it's not easy being done-up like a doll from space everyday. In a recent interview with Elle Magazine, Nicki tells fans of what exactly is in her makeup bag -- which probably resembles a toolbox more than anything else -- and what she absolutely cannot live without.

"I can't see myself without pink lipstick," Nicki says. "I can go without it for a couple days, but if there was no more pink lipstick in the world, I'd be useless. Seriously. And a good white pencil for under the eye, just inside the rim. It helps you look like you're on."

Minaj's fascination with all things pink is in full display on her debut album 'Pink Friday' and continues with her upcoming 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.' The new LP was originally slated for a February release just in time for Valentine's Day, but Minaj and her crew have since moved the date to April 3.

In the meantime, you can check out Nicki wearing her signature pink lipstick in the racy video for 'Stupid H--' below.
