[@sohaahmed9729]

I used to watch you so regularly. Life got busy. I went off the track. Just got the notification and came to see my favorite. Much love zabrena. Hope you are doing good sweetheart. ❤️

[@elizabethruggiero9950]

You are so appreciated, lady! An inspiration to all women with a job, children, husband and faith!

[@Zabrena]

Thank you so much my beautiful friend! Hugs!

[@dhurt1217]

Thank you! You are such a blessing to me! No matter how bad I feel, you can always make me smile! I’ve been sick and totally not myself this whole month. Finally figuring out the problem and hoping to get everything lined out so I can return to normal. This was not the holidays I had planned and I’m in danger of losing my apartment because I’ve missed so much work. But I know God is taking care of me and He will provide as He has so many times before. God bless you and your beautiful family! Love and prayers to you! 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

[@chez8756]

Can I just say the look you had when you were showing a clip of you with the facial wash was OMG WOW 🔥 STUN-NING! the orange/gold eye look with the curly hair was so beautiful. Thankyou so much for your videos and have a safe and blessed 2022. 🙏🙏

[@merlinsmama1600]

Chez I totally agree, she looked incredible!

[@normaspencer5593]

Oh my goodness! It’s hard to believe I randomly found you years ago while researching ‘20s makeup for my daughter’s school project. You are one of two makeup influencers that I continue to subscribe. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your unbiased opinions on makeup, skincare and other beauty products. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Every time I watch you I can’t help but think of the beautiful old Hollywood film divas of the ‘40s and ‘50s. Those are my favorite decades for fashion and makeup! You also remind me of Disney’s Merida character with your beautiful curly strawberry blonde hair and fair skin. Thank you for all you do to inform us of positive and negative aspects of products. Bless you and your adorable family and Happy New Year.

[@Zabrena]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Norma! I appreciate you so much! Happy New Year to you, gorgeous!

[@LisyCO]

Hi Zabrena, based on your recommendation I purchased the Essence That's Taupe little palette and I LOVE it (drink 😂). Thank you, I appreciate all your hard work year after year. Happy New Year's and God bless 💐

[@SlaymanSFX]

My favorite mascara and new find for me this year was the ULTA Twisted Volume Mascara. Each setting gives a unique look, all are dramatic and noticeable. Dries fast, lasts all day with out flaking and endures my left watery eye.

[@debmarrett212]

Love your recommendations! Also enjoyed your version of the drinking game!

[@michellestoffle5227]

Awwww Zebrena… we adore you! We are so blessed to have YOU! This channel became a source of information and inspiration for me about 5 years ago and I am so very thankful! May God bless you and your beautiful family in the new year! ♥️💕💗

[@karenkushla3975]

Thank YOU for all of your helpful hints, product reviews, and infectious laugh!

[@charitysheppard4549]

I just love your channel, Zabrena. You are so genuine and kind. You have great recommendations. I so appreciate how you just express happiness and God's love. I wish you and your beautiful family an amazing 2022.

[@beckyboopz1]

Hi, Zabrena! I recently found your channel and I am hooked! Can’t get enough of your sweet personality and realness. I’m an old gal who can’t get away with lots of pigment and extra eyelashes, but love watching your techniques and transformation.

[@terri3104]

I love the wet n wild tinted hydrator! . Couldn’t get the essence one to work for me. It was so dry looking and sat in every pore. Don’t know if I got a bad batch or was the primer I used or what, but it looked awful on me. It’s a shame cause the colour match was better for me than the wet n wild. Can only get fair here in the UK of that one, but I make it work. Can’t get the wee essence taupe palette here either and that’s the one I fancy the most. Anyway thanks for all your hard work. Hope you and your family have an amazing 2022! It’s been an awful year this year for me. So I really pray it will be better. ❤️

[@tracyloringart]

Looking forward to seeing how your hair journey goes!! I too have curly hair and will def check out your blog recommendation! Happy new year! Thank you for being a bright spot in my day! ❤️

[@julieligon8177]

Amen, Sister! Thank you for sharing your joy, love, encouragement... scripture passages... Love & blessings coming back to you!

[@amandafield3569]

[@Zabrena]

Oh girl! LOL!

[@marianunes8747]

Hi Zabrena! Thank YOU so much for one more amazing year with you. I must tell you, I do love your natural hair, is an amazing curly hair!!!! See you tomorrow or in 2022! A BIG HUG dear Zabrena!!!!!

[@marniulch4905]

Happy New Year my sister in Christ. Thank you for being a positive influence in these whackadoo times we live in. And thank you for such great content. I have incorporated MANY of your recs over the years and look forward to trying lots more in the days to come (nothing like an Ulta gift card for Christmas, eh?). 😁 Curmaven is the shiznit when it comes to all things curly. May I also recommend Real+Life Curly Girl and Curly Susie as well for great product recs and technique tutorials?

[@amybourget6046]

I absolutely love watching your videos and have been watching you for a couple of years now. You are such an inspiration and a joy to watch!!! I love how positive and godly you are. I watched your video on your favorite Amazon finds and I have been listening to “Bait of Satan” on Audiobook in my truck and love it so far. My goal for this year is to be closer to the Lord and my faith. This year2021 has been a rough year losing my Dad June 30 and then I just lost my Uncle on December 22. I use to do the rosary faithfully everyday on my way home from work and prayed every morning and night. I have been slacking so much this year. My mouth has not been too nice either. I never use to use the “F” work and now it comes out way too much. I know I have been really stressed out. It’s a reality knowing that I have no more parents and now no uncle. I only have a few cousins but they live in Maine and we hardly talk ever. Anyways, I’m so happy you told us about this book. I love you Zabrena and hope u and your family have a wonderful and healthy and blessed new year.

[@smbarone2000]

I tried to find a link to the Covergirl lip product. Is there a link? Thanks 😊

[@rondadunn444]

Omg your hair in the cleansing bomb clip is beautiful! Loved it!

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

[@Figgatella]

Thank you Zabrena. God bless you and your family!🥰🥰🥰

[@smbarone2000]

The Essence Taupe has been my new favorite neutral eye. I mixed it with the Mauve. So great! I have to try the chapsticks now. Great reviews. Happy new year!

[@yvonneiacovissi9713]

Zabrena, You are definitely my favorite on all the makeup info how to apply it and life in general. You are witty along with an Awesome Spirit, Thank You for your inspiration, especially on the Beautiful Christian Faith and Books! 🕊

God Bless you this new year. You have blessed me. I love your joy and fun personality.

[@TracyD2]

Yes I would love to see your natural texture. I love bounce curl.

[@nathaliehofsink5020]

Zabrena, you sparkle! Thank you for your channel. All the best to you & your peeps in the new year! 💕

[@doonagoding6146]

You are my favorite beauty lady... I watch many and you give such great reviews. Granted I am 63 and have older skin but I still enjoy your reviews and still tempt me to try them!! Thank you for your work this past year and here’s to a beauty filled 2022! God bless you and your family!!!

[@theresawood2183]

Happy that we like some of the same favorites this year. The WnW tinted moisturizer and the Essence Pretty Nautral Foundation are the only two I'm using at the moment. Very pretty coverage with a lovely finish. The Essence mini palettes are also great and your top 3 are actually the same as mine. When I travel again those will definitely be coming with me.

[@valorieviles3992]

Zabrena sweetheart you are a blessing for all of us. You make our lives better and easier. Thank You 🙏🏻

[@michellespaeth7608]

Awesome favorites! Many of them are mine as well! Many of them I found from your channel. Thank you! Happy New Year! Bless you!🥰

[@nancynewman1356]

God bless you. You do a wonderful job and I appreciate your opinions. So many products and you do a wonderful job of reviewing and keeping us informed.

[@lindadee6603]

Hey Zabrena😊 Happy happy video 😃 Jotted down some items 👍👍💙💜💙💜

[@mavrick6499]

Thank you for the video. In the photo with you wearing the Florence by Mills blush you looked like a model, very beautiful. Products I was especially pleased with in 2021 include: Fenty's Matchstix in Amber - perfect contour for me; the Too Faced Killer Liner in Killer Camo; and Rimmel's ScandalEyes Waterproof Gel Pencil in Grey - perfect for tightlining.

[@valeriemartin3506]

It is us who need to thank you for constantly being a source of uplifting positivity and for staying strong in the faith! Happy New Year! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!

[@sianfesa]

Happy New Year dear Zabrena for you and your family. Tons of love from Perú.

[@mynameisnicolascage6622]

4:59 you said love, but no water Haha. Great video regardless!

[@melissawilliams3185]

You are so beautiful and I love your hair curly!! I am so jelly of your hair!!

[@cm_mb]

Thank you for a great year of makeup recommendations. I love🥤your videos and I have definitely bought a few products based on your rec's. Happy New Year🎉

[@springalingading]

I love the color and style of your hair at the 11:15 time stamp. Beautiful!! Was it colored darker or just the products made it look darker. Just gorgeous as always.

[@Zabrena]

Thank you! Yeah, that was a darker shade I did this year, auburn I think? :) hugs!

[@deboemm]

Bounce Curl is so good!!

[@AprilArrglington]

Can't wait to watch your curly hair journey and final recommendations!!!

[@marlenesaucedo9365]

Thanks for sharing your favorites in 2021. Added Curl Maven. I have curly hair too and I need help. I have dry slap.

[@dchelsea2011]

Thanks and love from Michigan💓✨

[@kelseyfrost9378]

Please so a before and after review on those hair products! As a fellow curly girl I am always curious about products but it is so hard to try them all and I adore you review style. Happy New Year

[@Zabrena]

Yes! Absolutely doing this!

[@mmdulong]

I have not tried Bounce Curl yet. I do like Jessicurl products...available in 2 scents and unscented. All of the conditioners can be used as leave-ins.

[@despaahana]

Happy New Year Zabrena! I was so glad when I found you years ago because you have a oily skin hooded eyes and curly hair just like me! My hair is a bit thinner and my coloring is different but to find someone with all three of those that I have, that was a find! But then to find out that you are a Christian, I already knew you had a very sweet soul, but to know for sure that you know the Lord made me so happy cuz I couldn't live without God and it gives me so much joy when I find out others know him and are living for him as well. ♥️ Love you my sis in Christ! Drink your water ladies!

[@veronika_raynexxoo]

Your hair looks awesome 😍😍😍😍 Happy New year beautiful 💓💓💓💓💓

[@aminakamran6969]

You have such an angelic look about you. Absolutely beautiful! ❤️

[@nancybass1962]

Please do a review on the bounce curl products! I love your hair. 🥳

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Happy New Year and May 2022 bring you joy and happiness.

[@thepampepper7660]

Thanks for content. I will for sure check out Curl Maven. I have long naturally curly hair that twists different directions. I use Outre CBD shampoo & conditioner but because my hair is soooo soft, I find I run my fingers through it and remove my curls to the point I brush it to play with it. I think if I could keep the curls then I wouldn’t play with them

[@sonjakaufmann7577]

Happy New Year from Switzerland😍

[@joanie5262]

Thank you so much Zabrena. You have a wonderful channel that I enjoy so much. You're kindness and positivity is so appreciated. Happy New Year to you and yours!!

[@jenmurtaugh2004]

I was super excited to be able to purchase the Essence pallets at Ulta - the Mauve, Green, and Cool Tone Grey

[@theresaadams7074]

Thanks for your inspiring message!!! Can’t wait to try ur faves

[@amyd4444]

Thank YOU!! 🧡👍🧡👍 and Happy New Year 🎉🌟

[@Liutgard]

Zabrena- two questions! 1. Can you recommend a blog or video channel for dealing with eye makeup for glasses wearers? I have very high index lenses (far-sighted), progressive bifocals, astigmatism correction, and prism. I can't just take my glasses off to do my makeup, because I can't see a damn thing without them! But working around them is a real pain too- especially doing liner. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to see them! 2. And what might your recommendations be for false eyelashes? Mine have thinned a lot (medical issues), and even with lots of mascara, they're not really there. I tried some Revlon ones a few years ago, standard type with glue, and they were a disaster. Recently I got some of the ones with tiny magnets, and the special liner that is magnetized. The looked ok, though I do have trouble (even with the short, 'natural' ones) with them sweeping the inside of my glasses. But eh big problem is that I have as of yet not found the special liner that actually works well. They're clumpy, and difficult to get enough on to adhere without over buildup. So i'm not sure if I should just give up and hope that my not-so-well-applied regular liner plus mascara is enough? Your lashes always look fabulous! Suggestions?

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

Not a 2021 release, but I discovered IT Cosmetics Celebration illumination powder foundation. If you haven't tried it, do it and thank me later. Best powder foundation I have ever used, because it doesn't look or wear like powder. It is so good!

[@theresas2520]

I love IT Cosmetics...they don't talc and that is why their powders never look cakey. I get it all from QVC because they have the best deals!.

[@meganburbage1232]

I LOVE the Wet and Wild Tinted Hydrator but I found the essence TF so dusty looking on my dry skin!

[@debbieallen491]

Thank you for your sweet spirit that shines so bright. May the Lord bless you and your family this new year🙏

[@Zabrena]

AMEN! May His face shine upon you in 2022 Debbie! God bless you and keep you!

[@wendyschnapa7582]

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

That L'Oréal powder foundation is excellent!

[@WhiteeeChocolate]

Oh how I want to get those essence pallets for eyeshadow! Haven’t seen them in my country yet 🧐

[@nguinn1989]

I have curly hair I need help also, please keep us updated. Thanks for ALL the drugstore finds I have many from your recommendations😊

[@cynthiaperez8565]

Hola Zabrena, Happy 2022. I enjoy your videos and humor. I love your makeup demonstraring the Mehron metallic powder. Could you give me the link on that video?

[@lauracondon4497]

I hope you do a video on the curly hair products. 🌺

[@lucysomeone3455]

Happy almost 202z Z! Wish you and your family a happy new year!

[@makeupboss3568]

God Bless you dear . These certainly must be truly amazing. I do have that L’Oréal Infallible Fresh Wear , I may try it today just by itself. I’ve got to try that Revlon brow product. Looks amazing. Right now I’m using the tattoo studio brow gel from Maybelline. It’s ok , but I do need a pencil product under it so it comes off easily. Since I never really wear it a full 24 hours.

[@MakeupAZ]

Hi Zabrena, thanks for sharing. Hair products to try are Red ken Curvacious, Pantene Volume mousse, Nexus curl define shampoo and conditioner, LOreal ceramide hair masque, and Fructis hair oil serum, Tresseme Argan oil shampoo and conditioner or Essence Coconut milk shampoo and conditioner, or from dollar tree the daily defense coconut hibiscus shampoo and conditioner. For shine the Alterna Bamboo oil mist.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

[@Alejandra.herrera1996]

Gonna buy the essence palettes. They seem good quality and you always talk about them. 😍🥰

Thank you for your hard work, the tips and tricks and product reviews. I use Bounce Curls, they are great products.

[@kathyforgues6994]

May God bless you and your family this new year♥️

[@cassandraqcassandraq5510]

If you need to cover a spot the Loreal powder foundation on a finger will do , under or over the regular layer.
