Resale!!!!!!!!!

Hello Ladies and Gents!
   I have been thinking about a little venture that I may be starting on CGC. I want to start a little resale shop. I know I know kind of (that's on every blog.) But with this I will have have different silhouettes, sizes, and I may add or subtract certain things from the garments if need be. Be looking out for this at the end of June! I really want to build the blog, and the CGC name and I think that this  new venture will help out a lot!
Much Love and God Bless!

OH BABY!

Hello Beauties!

 I have been deeply in love with this lip glass from MAC Cosmetics by the name of Oh Baby. I love the name too(hehe). But the color is divine! It stays on forever! Its not like a regular lip gloss. It is a little thicker. I love make up, but Oh Baby, has to live in my make up bag, forever! I am so happy that it is a regular item and not a special edition because I loves!

Confidence is the Key!

Hello All!
  I am in a place in my life right now that I have never been. I love myself more now than ever! I think about my past when I hated myself. I hated looking in the mirror, I hated taking pictures, I tore up all of my prom pictures because I thought I looked horrible! I hated God because I thought he put me in a position that was worse than others. I had an eating disorder for a while. I remember throwing up all of my food when I ate it because I didn't want to gain weight. Sometime I could go days without eating a thing. I tried to commit suicide and I was a cutter for a while. But I thank God that I do not look like what I have been through! I think people wonder why I intertwined my love for fashion and beauty with my love for God. It is because I would not have love for myself which includes my love for fashion and beauty if it was not for God! I do not want people to think I am preaching all of the time but in order to love other people you have to love yourself!
   I know a lot of guys say that they are attracted the most to confidence. I didn't think guys looked at me because I thought that I was ugly. But guys didn't look at me because I didn't love myself. It was evident. But though it all, I am working on my confidence, and my self-esteem. I am happy with life because I am happy with me. I don't care if I never have 1,000 followers, I know that I love me!
   I said that to say, love yourself, write down positive attributes about yourself, look in the mirror and brag on your beauty because you deserve it! Dark, Light, Brown, White, Love yourself! Because God made you beautiful!
Much Love!

The Right Frames For Your Face Shape 8-)

Hello Dolls!
 I know that summer is approaching and everyone is starting to break out the shades!  Everyone knows that different people have different facial shapes, and different hairstyles, makeup, and glasses flatter each of them.  So I have come up with a guideline for you to find your most flattering pair!

Round

For the ladies with a round face such as myself, try square or rectangular frames, This will allow you to balance your face. Try your best to avoid round frames, this can make your face even more round!





Heart

For those who have a heart shaped face try round frames.











Square

Rounded frames will soften your jaw line. Wrap Styles and Aviators are great styles!









Long

Oversize, round, or oval pairs that will give you proportion. Try to avoid, small thin, and narrow frames which will make your face appear longer.










Oval

You lucky sun of a gun! You can wear what you want! Oval faces are said to be the most desired shape because it is so proportioned! You can wear what you want , When you want, wherever you want!









I hope and pray you all find what you are looking for! Have fun shopping!
