Mommy Makeup Begins!

Well! It had to start sometime. I have been asked so many times through out my career to start a makeup blog. I feel now, more than ever that it would be a perfect time to begin. I've decided not to do so much of a traditional makeup blog, but one more geared towards the Moms out there.

I'll be the first one to admit that before I had my wee little one that I always thought my makeup routine would not change. I figured I would have all the time I needed to spend my time primping myself while my child napped, or while he was just hanging out - being content playing with his toys in the living room. Wow. I was sure in for the shock of my life when I realized that instead of beautifying that I would be spending my time frantically cleaning, eating and prepping for the rest of the day ahead. Hell, I was lucky if I could fit in a shower before my husband returned home from work! Makeup was the last thing on my mind.

Now, as he ages and things get a little easier (but, still just as busy - if not more so) I have started to try to make my appearance a little bit more presentable. But now, instead of applying the 6 different shades of my beloved eye shadows, or carefully outlining my pout to be suited for the perfect red lip, I am now looking for the items out there that are multi-talented. All day wear eye liners, brow pencils/powders that can help create the perfect shape and do not smudge off, etc...

I thought I would start this blog for all you other ladies who just don't have the time to spend dolling up every day, but still want to look as polished as ever. I will be reviewing all sorts of products that are out there -  new and old. Ones that are going to simplify our lives and help make us even more flawless than we already are! Some, well, are going to be frivolous - what can I say? A girl still has to pamper every now and then - and I mean yourself! Not another little bottom!

So, here's to us and looking amazing...without all the time and effort, so we can still make the three dozen cupcakes, clean house, take care of our little ones and be the smashing women we all are.
