Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing my NEW blog!! I'm sooooo excited! "Um...why...?" you may ask. Beeeeecause buying and trying makeup products is one of my FAVORITE hobbies...second only to TALKING about them. The only reason talking comes first is because it doesn't hit the credit card bill at the end of the month. :)
NOW! About me - I'm a 31 y/o accountant from Iowa. Lame, I know. My dream job is to be a makeup artist but quitting my current gig to do wedding makeup is what's known as career suicide around these parts. I have learned everything I know from magazines, having makeovers and talking to the makeover artists. I also read about makeup and trends online. The only time I "practice" makeup per se, is when I do my friends' wedding parties and/or event makeups. I did my first wedding makeup around five years ago. I LOVED IT. Not only is it super fun and great to make my friends all beautiful...but it gives me an excuse to over-buy and under-use all the products in my collection. :)
My makeup obsession began at an early age when my Grandma used to buy me Estee Lauder and Clinque cosmetics for junior high. Sweet!!! It's become REALLY bad over the past ten or so years after I graduated college and could afford to follow makeup trends and buy the tools. It's official: I'm a total product whore.
I have TONS of favorites. In general, I gravitate around the Chanel, Laura Mercier, Lancome, Stila and M.A.C. lines. I do live in the Quad Cities, so while we (thank god) have decent makeup counters at Von Maur (it's sort of like a Nordstrom's) we don't have everything. AND...as much as it severely agonizes me to not have a Sephora, it's definitely good for my wristlet.
You won't normally find information on my blog about crazy expensive stuff (e.g. $250 eye cream). My blog is going to be for normal people who can actually afford to buy and use this stuff on themselves. I'll try to post links and prices for all products.
So, hopefully you will all enjoy this blog and definitely feel free to e-mail me questions at any time!
XOXO,
Ann ;)
What a fun blog!!! I, too, am a major product junkie. My hair stylist loves to see me coming because she can generally talk me into buying anything. Same goes for the girls at the make-up counters. I will be following your blog closely!!!
ReplyDeleteKate, yay! I'm so glad you're following the blog! You can be a guest blogger about hair products b/c I just use bedhead stuff (boring/obvious) :) Miss ya, sista.
