My passion and love, getting ready for the challenge!

Hello my loves! I was cleaning and organizing a few things earlier to day and I realized, I am running out of room for storage. The past few months, I came across some great sales, steals and deals--LOL....You know what that means?? I shopped till I dropped in some ways and then hid some of my purchases in some other bags only to discover them later. Now some may say that my passion and love for makeup has turned straight up to an addiction. Its one addiction that I am willing to have if I had to choose.

I am a makeup artist by trade anyways, doing reviews on a blog, on facebook, and such. I purchase all the products myself and even do giveaways. If your a friend of mine, I have even given you some makeup at some point. So, what's the big-DEAL, right?? The deal is this, am I using my products the way I should or am I just hoarding some products that will eventually, go bad. I hope not, I think not because I have a idea!!

An IDEA, you say?? Yes, I have always said that for each new day, I will use, try a new product and a new color.  I would say so far, its been working ok, but I want more use out of my products. How do I do that, you say? I am suggesting to start small. A few days ago on my facebook page, I suggested doing a makeup challenge. Maybe one for a week and then going on from there.....

This so called challenge would be one where you take products, colors that you have not tried nor used or maybe even forgotten about and create a daily look, posting it for all to see. Will YOU join me?? When doing this, I would also suggest, listing the products/shades you used as well. Could my idea help my makeup madness?? I would say, maybe or at least it gives me more reason to look more fabulous and be a makeup temptress!! LOL

Everyone that knows me, knows I love me some makeup. I could talk about it all day long if I could. As with any addiction and this one is made with fun. I will post some pictures down below to show you what I am with-holding in the confines of makeup make shift loving world...... I do try to be organized, having each product in owns category.

 my sample drawer

 my high-end lippies

 my lip-liners and lip jumbo sticks

 my blush drawer

 some of eye palettes

 and some eye products(shadows and liners)

Now believe me, I have plenty more drawers and have organized them more than once. I would say I am a lover of many things, its just that these things that I love is for my face. Imagine, I could be and have a different look for each day of the year. Funny, I know. Ridiculous, maybe?? Who cares! I will say this though, I rarely pay full-price, I look for deals, use coupon codes, in store-coupons, and shop the clearance isles. I would love to be a part of a makeup club where others do trading of makeup. I have not found any local groups available. I have tried also to make friends with others that love makeup as much as I do. I guess I figure I keep myself in check with my makeup addiction by doing my giveaways and contests on facebook and such. Even give away some of it to my closest friends. I have even donated some to a local women's shelter for their job program. 

I have seen makeup swaps on you-tube and would love to do those. They look like fun, but there can be a downside to that if not careful. Some have been scammed that way. Anyway, it is what is, my passion and love. One that is hard to depart from, one that is a lot fun, and one that brings happiness to my being. That is why I am makeup artist, I love to make others feel beautiful and have a canvas to paint. I feel soon enough I will be to reveal my talent and skills to the rest of the world before too long. Until then, join me on my journey! 

Much love and hugs,
