Have done as suggested 

(defvar myhist nil
  "Stores previous minibuffer inputs so the user can reuse them.")

  (let* ( (cseq '("bracemk" "expression" "extended" "mixed" "hlsexp" "disable"))
          (csel  (completing-read "Glowvis: " cseq nil t "mixed" myhist 
"extended"))

When I go through the list in the minibuffer I am also getting the variable 
myhist
showing up but its value stays nil.
