Let's Talk Beauty

Hey there!!! I'm very excited to start this blog. I'll be posting pics. of looks you can do for your eyes and face. Also, discussing face washes, shampoos/conditioners, body washes, nails, tips and tricks for make-up that I've learned, you know just fun make-up/beauty talk. If you love a product and want me to give it a try please give me suggestions and I'm more than willing to give it a go too.
A little about me, if you met me or talked to me about 7 or so years ago I never wore make-up. Just didn't see the point, didn't want to take the time and I didn't know the first the thing about it. Then I saw a make-up line on QVC called Smashbox. Loved the lady Holly that was selling it on there and loved the look that women got from it. However, I didn't want to go as far as wearing foundation. So I decided to buy a kit from Smashbox from QVC, it had blush, liner, shadow, mascara and eye brows (no foundation). I would just wear a little of everything. It made me feel prettier and people were noticing. So I thought I would stick with just that and I did for about a year.
Then the next year for Christmas my mom bought me "Meet the Plums" kit (3 different shades of plum/purple colors from light to dark) from Bare Escentuals/BareMinerals. I fell in love with it. The plum colors were a great start to wearing eyeshadows. Very simple shading and coloring but it made my eyes pop. I kept playing it safe for eyeshadows for a year probably. I would buy "Meet the Browns" or kits that were "stupid proof" for mixing colors. I did that for another year or so. I finally felt confident to start branching out and mixing colors on my own and wearing "outside the box" shades. I also decided to try Bare Escentuals/BareMinerals foundation. It was amazing. You couldn't feel it, it didn't look like I was wearing heavy make-up at all, yet covered. Then I branched into, primers, finishing powders and of course lip glosses/Buxoms. Now I'm hooked. I have a rainbow of shades for eyeshadows. Lots of different shades of blushes as well. I'm completely hooked on make-up. I have to say (it may sound weird) but my daily routine of swirl, tap, buff really relaxes me. I genuinely am excited to put my make-up on in the morning. I change my eyeshadows everyday. I feel I get to play everyday.

I hope you'll join me in the fun of make-up and beauty on my blog. Let's have fun making ourselves feel pretty.
