Meet The Crew: Melissa

If you didn't know I am officially a promoter for Abigail's Boutique Designs. I really do enjoy working with this company. Robyn, the owner, is such a very sweet friendly person who is always their if you have any questions or anything you need.. I inititionly wanted to be apart of this company because I love not just only makeup but all things beauty. Also her eyshadows look absolutely amazing and I love to help people and i thought this would be a great opportunity to not only help bring clients to this company but also it would help improve my makeup skills by posting makeup looks and doing tutorials. So far I love working for this company and my fellow promoters and especially with such a wonderful person like Robyn. I was so excited when i read my email saying that a made it as a promoter and want nothing more but to make Robyn happy and make her company a success.

Well a little bit about me is that I am 19 years young and I live in northern california. I live with my grandpa and i am very thankful for everything he has done for me. I am a huge animal lover and some think i am a animal activist. I have a cockatiel bird named Baby and a elderly pug named Puggy. I love all animals but the one i truely has a place in my heart are pitbulls. I am a full time college student majoring in business and eventually make my way to the makeup academy school to further my education and Since my future is to have my own makeup business. Things that i really enjoy doing is spending time with my family since you never know the last day you have with them, I love doing zumba since i love to dance, I also love photography and scrapbooking. I love watching movies (everyone says i should be a movie critic). I like to hang out with friends, going to amusement parks. Most of all i love makeup and seeing what new look a can come up with and to bring out my creativity.

I started getting into makeup when i was about 16 1/2 years old. If you look at my pictures now you never would of known I was a tom boy before. I was always creative person with scrapbooking, taking cartoon drawing lessons, or playing piano, and even doing photography. My aunt was really the one who got me started on makeup, I use to see her watch youtube makeup videos and than her showing me her look before she would go out. That is really what got me started since i wanted to enhance my beauty and just make myself look more beautiful. So I started watching youtube and keep practicing with my makeup and than what keep me going was when I got my first compliment on my makeup and i even know what i was wearing which was all by MAC with Crystal Avalanche and Swish, and were also my very first eyeshadows ever and since all my aunt wore was MAC, most of my collection is too but i have ventured out and have tried many other products. Now i get compliments quite often and i even show my family like my aunts and grandma how to use makeup also. It wasn't really hard to learn, maybe some of it come natural, and the rest was just something i really wanted to do. One thing about makeup is that you will always be learning something new about it. I haven't been doing makeup for that long and I have so much to learn and grow from, I cant wait to see what's where it takes me, how far my creativity can go and how my of my makeup dreams i can accomplish. I'm going to reach for the stars cause the sky is the limit and whatever you put your mind to you can do it, don't just have dreams but chase them!

Back to School

So for many families its that time of year again. You know when the bags under your eyes, the grey hairs, the countless migraines, and the high pitched echos in your house all seem to fade a way. Yup thats right back to school time. Dont get me wrong i love my kiddos more than anything and do value the time i have with them. However i will value it even more when they go to school for 7 or so hours a day. lol

Now as i sit here and ponder on what im going to do with all that extra time (since my youngest will be starting preschool full day) it hits me, no not the hello kitty dolls flying a cross the room but the fact that there is no extra time but there is peace and quiet. And thats enough for me. So in between running errands, doing house work, managing 2 full time businesses and all the other stuff i will be waiting patiently for my 2 rambunctious, high energy, and utterly adorable kids to return home.

How are you all going to spend your time? Are all your kiddos in school?

Lip... what say huh???? Contest

Time to let the cat out of the bag. I have some lip glosses ready to be released in your very near future. But first i have to name them. Thats where you and the contest come in. There are so many names out there for lip glosses that i cant even begin to name them all but here are a few : lip gloss, lip tar, lip dazzles, lip bling, lip smackers, & lip quienchers.

I need a name for my lip glosses. I want a name that is catchy, strong, and words well. It should fit in with my overall company feel. I have a couple that i like but want to hear from you before making my final decission. My choice as of right now is mineral kiss. So top that and you will win yourself a new unreleased lip gloss from yours truely.

This is my first contest with my new rafflecopter app so i hope you like it and find it super simple.
