Want High Cheek Bones?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Here’s how to get the glamourous Jada Pinkett-Smith high cheek bones.

Killer cheekbones are as easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how:

1. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, in line with your eyes’ pupils. If you’re using cream blush, apply with a tapping motion. For powder blush, apply in a simple overlapping “C.”

2. Place highlighter or shimmery shadow on the highest point of your cheek.

3. Lastly, apply bronzer to hollows of your cheek, then blend. Can’t find the hollows of your cheek? Make a fish face!

Good Luck!

Kiss ME!

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I was talking with some lady friends the other day and we all agreed that  the first kiss usually tells a lot about that person, and while the kiss tells a lot it can also give a glimpse of your future with that person.

A kiss is so personal and intimate. I came across some Kissing Quotes and as you read them you can visualize the amazing connection.

You may conquer with the sword, but you are conquered by a kiss.
-Daniel Heinsius

A man had given all other bliss, And all his worldly worth for this, To waste his whole heart in one kiss Upon her perfect lips.
-Lord Tennyson

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
-Emil Ludwig

That farewell kiss which resembles greeting, that last glance of love which becomes the sharpest pang of sorrow.
-George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans]

The moment eternal – just that and no more – When ecstasy’s utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!
-Robert Browning

There is the kiss of welcome and of parting, the long, lingering, loving, present one; the stolen, or the mutual one; the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow; the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment.
-Thomas C. Haliburotn

Now go have a kiss ;)
