MAKE- UP GALORE!

Metallics are in from hues of silver, gold, turquoise and purple. To create this look try Loreal's h.i.p eyeshadows.

False eyelashes now shining stars I have not mastered this technique yet but with new easy to apply strips doing falsies at home are now easier than ever! The eyelashes featured above are by Shu Uemura check them out they have a crazy collection of lashes.

 

















Ladies Glowing skin is always in. Bronzers give you minimal coverage that lets your healthy glowing skin shine through! So on those face paced days just apply some bronzer and your out the door. One of my faves is CoverGirl's Queen Collection in ebony bronze.

Black History Spotlight:Ella Baker

Ella Baker was born to Georgiana and Blake Baker on December 13, 1903 in Norfolk ,Virginia. In 1927 Baker earned her degree from Shaw University in North Carolina. Ella Baker then moved to Harlem and in 1941 she joined the NAACP working as the Director of Branches. Baker worked side by side with Martin Luther King Jr. and Baynard Rustin but she often felt her contributions were overlooked because she was a woman. Ella Baker later resigned from the NAACP in 1946, but remained with the organization for several years. Baker was instrumental in helping establish the SNCC (student nonviolent coordinating committe) which helped students organize sit-in demonstrations. Ella Baker continued her activism until her death in New York City on December 13, 1986. For more information you can check out her biography "Ella Baker & the Black Freedom Movement". I found this quote from Ella Baker that I thought was very profound check it out...

"One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going"

I always thought to myself as an African American we are the only ethnicity that dosent know our origin. Of course we know our descendants came from Africa but we dont know what tribes we come from and what customs, rituals, and tradition each tribe embodies. And if we dont know where we come from we cant possibly know where we are headed. Thanks to all my Shining stars for visiting please comment and Subscribe!

Rapper DMX is now Boxing? The rapper DMX is scheduled to fight against Eric Martinez on December 12, 2009 in Birmingham Alabama. Did I miss something? When did DMX become a professional boxer last time I heard he was in jail. I guess he has to pay the bills like the rest of us. In a recent interview DMX said he was working on not only one but two albums because "the streets need him" I rather much hear some music from this talented brother than to watch him fighting in the ring. Shining stars what do you think about this? Will you all tune in to watch the fight? Please leave comments and SUBSCRIBE Thanks for visiting!

Hello to all my shining stars! I thought I would share some poetry with you.

So I know all of you heard of the famous poet Maya Angelou and her poem "Phenomenal Woman" well I decided to put my little twist on the poem. Check it out I hope you enjoy it. Please leave comments and subscribe Thanks for visiting!

PHENOMENAL WOMAN 2009

Pretty women often ask me where my secret lies

Im not cute or built to suit a fashion models size

but when I start to tell them thay think Im telling lies I say

I soar like an eagle when I step into a room but Im as quiet as a mouse

My skin is dark and mysterious like a panther but you can still see the tiger in my eyes

Men are watching me like prey as I walk my hips swish swish and sway

Rumble Rumble I command respect like the Queen of the jungle

Now you understand why my head is not bowed

I dont have to shout or speak real loud

When you see me passing it ought to make you proud

I say its the click of my stilletoes

the curl of my hair, the ride of my ass, the need of my care

Im a black woman

Phenomenal Woman thats me!

Love,

Paradise

Introducing Nicki Minaj "the baddest bitch". If you dont know about the talented harajuku barbie then it's time to get familiar. Nicki Minaj recently signed a deal with Lil Waynes label Young Money Entertainment becoming the first lady or "mistress" as she prefers. I heard about Nicki Minaj a few months ago and I personally became inspired by listening to her music she definitely has that "it" factor or ( je ne sais quoi )thats so intriguing but also a breath of fresh air in the rap industry. Check out her mixtape "Beam me up Scotty" and be on the look out for her debut album because this star is on the rise!
