FOTD: ELF Beauty Book: Kim K Inspired Look

Hey Beauties,

Welcome to another edition of ELF (Eyes, Lips, Face) Beauty Book edition where I will be using The ELF Beauty Encyclopedia Eye Edition. From looking at the colors I knew which look I wanted to do first to introduce this palette to you. I went ahead and did an inspired Kim Kardashian makeup look which is the look from your 2011 family holiday portrait pictures.

R.I.P. To an Icon: Whitney Houston



I am lost for words, still can't penetrate the thought that another Icon has departed from us. It's a sad and devastating moment. I don't know her personally but through her music and movies, I have grown to love and adore this woman art of singing and her beauty is beyond words. I grew up on her music and till this day I can remember when I was younger and eager to see her movie "The Bodyguard" in theater and crying my eyes out and still today watching that movie I do cry like no other.
Rest In Peace beautiful lady and I pray that your daughter will find the strength to recover from this pain of your loss. As a parent I can't imagine what she is going through but I will keep her in my prayers as I do my very own.


Rest in Peace Whitney Houston
