Pictures from Ellegirl in their "Date" make-up category. (Of course you don't need a date to make yourself look fabulous, you do that for yourself!)
DO: a smoky eye and a pink or nude lip
combined with a flawless complexion.
PRODUCTS
Eyeliner: Revlon, their eye products are long lasting and will not fade easily
Eyeshadow: Covergirl, the shades/colors are fantastic and will play up your eyes.
Mascara: Maybelline (only the best!), I have a friend who loves her lashes long and thick and I have heard nothing but good things about Maybelline's products
Lipgloss: Nivea, its called "A KISS OF SHINE", this stuff is great I tried it might self. It's not sticky and moisturizes your lips
My Valentine wish is to be able to buy a cute day dress or frock like this one.

LOVE LETTER
Naploeon Bonaparte was known for writing amazing letters to his beloved Josephine
here is one from 1795:
"I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil.
Sweet incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart!
Are you angry?
Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried? ...
My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for your lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire."
HOPE YOU ENJOYED READERS
until next week

These looks are from SMASHBOX, and yes that is my current lover. I ♥ SMASHBOX with a passion! My fave product from Smashbox is the Jet Set waterproof eye liner in Midnight Purple. (It makes my brown eyes go BAM! So I guess that makes me a little biased....)
Bleached jeans are definitely big now. I've seen in it the Balmain collection, Urban Outfitters, etc. I'm beginning to fall for them myself...
