Humble Beginnings

ThrowBack StoryTime! DID YOU KNOW THAT I WAS THE GIRL THAT DIDNT LIKE MAKEUP?!

Lol you never know where your path may lead you but I know I’m walking in my purpose! This photo was taken in 2009! I was working behind the counter @esteelauder for @lordandtaylor I remember feeling so honored to work for Estee, I was told I had to raise $250,000 in sales your girl did $350,000 actually the entire team did amazing and for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY that counter made over $2,000,000 in sales. We had breakfast and dinner with the Lauder Family and received awards for our accomplishments! It was truly inspiring and made me realize that the Girl WHO NEVER LIKED MAKEUP WILL BECOME WHO YOU KNOW TODAY AS CAMARA AUNIQUE ,😩😊🤦🏽‍♀️❤️Yes that means I can sell the heck out of products because it’s what I started doing but it also prepared me for much more.... I was making $80,000 a year and when people started telling me I was actually good at makeup I started to think I need to grow my skills, I would take pictures of my work and use it to share to clients so that they’d book me, I believed in myself before anyone else did, I took a HUGE PAY CUT and left after a year and went to @maccosmetics @henribendel that’s where I started to perfect my skills. SACRIFICE 😩!! !

Trust your journey…… You may feel like your stuck at the moment or wondering why someone is accelerating before you. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Most times God is placing us in certain market places to prepare us for our own. in the season of feeling stuck and unsure ask the Holy Spirit to guide you on what you should be learning in this time and season, he will reveal lol trust me. Maybe you’ll be learning bookkeeping and accounting so when you start your business your finances will be on point, head to youtube and study the things you need to do what you want to do. EVERYTHING IS ON YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE. Most seasons are quiet and low-key because your’e in a season to be still and learn.

Are You Good?

A humble servant. In the midst of me doing my job, before he goes on stage to kill his @hbo Special that he flew me to La to be a part of @comedianlilrel is asking me in this pic, Camara you good? Lol most times when people pray for their dream client they’re asking for just anybody so they can FINALLY BECOME A “celebrity artist”..... the minute they touch a person with a form of clout they change their profile name.... me I pray for clients that care about my well being, this can be a bride, a nurse, a bad chick executive.

When we serve we give a lot to our clients we lift them up. Cheer them on…… Pray for clients who do the same for you. I used to pray to work with just anybody until I found myself tired and feeling depleted and lost. You have the power to change that!! Working with a celeb isn’t everything, trust me. But being placed with the right people who believe in you and trust you is worth more than Gold! Working the right jobs will have you feeling way more whole. Thankful for my clients! #mensgrooming #ilovewhatido #mensgrooming #ishouldDoAClass

Gods Precious Cargo

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Yesterday I was heading home from church and I heard God say “remind people they’re my Precious Cargo”.

I’m like oh wow 👀 that’s kinda lit Big G! Every place you enter, every car you drive, every plane you board, every train your riding is carrying YOU! AKA PRECIOUS CARGO. So know you’re covered! DECLARE YOUR’E COVERED. Know that Angels are driving and leading like you’re in a @teslamotors lol 😂 standing guard around you like the Queen of England, like a Steel Wall shielding you so nothing can touch you!!

Praise God for his covering! DECLARE IT OVER YOUR CHILDREN TOO!

“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.” Psalm 91:7

Walking By Faith

So I decided to do everything that scares me and drop a product, I’m nervous for many reasons.

First I don’t know how to run a store. 

Second Why is my shipping costs so high?!

Third Will I receive love and support from my peers, will I be sitting here with boxes of product?

If you’ve been following me for a while you know I love to talk about God lol I am a little obsessed to be honest, fight me...

I had to take a step back and step out on faith this time, you may not know I have been sitting on the idea of a lash line for about a year and a half, overthinking. God took the time to sit me down and say, “Baby girl, you think I gave you this idea for you to sit on and not act on it? Surrender the control you crave and make me the CEO. You guys that was the best conversation I could have with my father because I let go, I left my agency and the same day my samples came, BOOM A SIGN! Then the money to order the lashes mysteriously appears in my account, ANOTHER SIGN! So I made the order, then I start wearing them with out even giving a hint that I’m considering this new venture, AND BOOM ANOTHER SIGN HAPPENS! You guys! Yes YOU!! Started asking me whose lashes are these? Where can I find these? Is this your lash line? Wow I’ve been looking for lashes like this? And so many more affirmations to confirm that YES, the support is there and you will be ok Camara.

I’m writing this short blog to remind you that even though things may not happen on your time, the doubt kicks in, pray about it ask God to take over and to actually show you he’s taking over, then the last thing to do is trust him.

From the bottom of my heart thank you for the support and love, you guys push me to keep going in this hard freelancer life. I hope this post inspires someone to go out and be great today! Tomorrow! All Year!
