Christmas Thoughts

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! Hi gal pals. How's it going?! The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is nearing its peek and is almost at its end; Hallelujah! 

I hope that all my readers and fellow bloggers enjoy their Christmas, Holidays, or whatever you call it. Take a moment to reflect on the past year and give thanks to the one true God, whose birthday it is that we're celebrating for guarding our souls, lives, and families, for getting us through a horrible recession and for providing or preserving jobs when needed. 

If you are a church goer, then attend your yearly Christmas Eve/Morning Services; to remind yourselves of how this season is so Not about us and racking up the best name-brand gifts on the market; to stop being selfish and lend a hand, shelter, or a meal to someone else who truly is in need. 

Also, can I just say thank you to all of my followers, new and old for continuing to show your support. Thank you if you've only visited a few times, commented,  or cboxed! I truly appreciate it. But most of all, I'd like to thank the recent 'surge' of Black/African American followers of late! I know that there are so many Black bloggers out there, yet; we do not support each other enough. Whenever I find a quality blogger, whether their content is beauty or otherwise; I do not hesitate to follow them and show them that they are noticed and loved! So thank you to all of my Black Sistas, Asian, Hispanic, Mixed, and Caucasian Sistas alike!*_*! You are cherished by me and inspire me to produce quality posts. Happy Holidays to all of you.
xoxo

FOTD: Red Apples with a Side of Peach n Grape

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! He gal pals, how's it going?! The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is nearing its peek and is almost at its end; Hallelujah! Blessings, Peace and Love are all that I wish for my fellow bloggers and followers. May God and His loving mercy shine on each of you and bring you through to enjoy and prosper in the new year!

Does this look seem familiar to some of you? Well, if it does, that's because I re-created this look taking inspiration from a post that Jacqueline of A Brilliant Brunette did last week. She is a great person to learn from, admire and get ideas from! Her looks are off the charts and she's not afraid to use colour, and has great technique! Do not hesitate to visit and follow her; http://www.abrilliantbrunette.com/.

- Black Opal Creme Foundation Heavenly Honey

- B.O. Oil-Absorbing Powder Medium Brown

Here's the link to Jacqueline's look that I re-created; http://www.abrilliantbrunette.com/2009/12/sparkling-cranberry-eyes-with-orange.html

I followed the general colour scheme, but I used more e/s colours,

different placement, and products. It's fun, festive an easy to do; that's why I like it so much. Hope you do too!

FOTD: Mod Classique

Hola beauty buffs!*_*! Here's another hot look that I did earlier this week, on Monday to be exact. I sort of wanted to do a 70's era look; taking inspiration from Twiggy, the model. In her first pictorial spread, she had long, dramatic, baby-doll lashes, and lovely lips. So there's a lot of focus on the eye and lips, that's why they're both so dramatic! lol I love it, let me know if you feel the same!
