Makeup.

What better way to start off my first official blog than to discuss one of the best things ever created: makeup. I am absolutely crazy about makeup. I love thinking about it. I love looking at it. Looking at it? So many places to look! Magazines, online, in stores, in flyers, with friends, by myself- I don't care, I freaking love it.

This morning I had to run into Shoppers to do an exchange. I think we all know what I left with.

Today's most exciting purchase was the new Cover Girl "smokyshadowblast" that I've been dying to try. I'm usually not a big fan of 2-in-1, and certainly not a fan of pencil shadows. But their ads are so good, I couldn't resist. I've been wanting to try this out because I thought it might be something I could recommend to clients who ask me what makeup they can use that's easy and quick to apply. This little number has your base, liner, and shading all-in-one, and you don't need brushes. And the colour combos are very tasty indeed. So far, things are looking good. I applied the colours (Purple Plume, by the way) a few hours ago, and honey, I am looking pretty hot. No creasing thus far. That is the ultimate test. Will advise.

(Don't worry, I didn't just pick up one makeup-y treat. I also bought Maybelline's Unstoppable eyeliner in 'Cinnabar'. Doesn't everybody need a self-sharpening eyeliner for your purse in case you've run out to mail a letter, thinking you won't see anyone, then you decide to run to the grocery store? Hello foundation compact, liner, and gloss. Fabulous!) ;)
