Starting this blog...

Well, this is a new experience for me....I have commented on blogs of others in past, but never thought to start my own. Someone made suggestion of marketing my personal "beauty bible" and well, I would rather just expand it and allow others access... that said, I guess I should explain what it is...


I use Smashbox cosmetics exclusively. For those who have bought the products in the past, you know that it can be pricey keeping up with having all the latest color combinations and kits put out there by the company.  I decided to get around that....


In a journal style notebook, I started google-ing for "smashbox kits" and writing down the products that were in each....then went through my own cosmetics and checked off the items i already had in each of those kits.  The way I see it, a girl can only use so many onyx eyeliners and reflection lip glosses when there are SO many other gorgeous shades out there to play with.  What started with me being tired of buying kits and ending up with multiples of certain products, turned into a custom shopping list to check before buying a new kit- many times I already have all but 1 or 2 items from the newest kits ...


And though it is hand-written logbook, I am familiar enough with the sets released by Smashbox since 2005 to page through the book in the mornings and pick my colors for the day based on my mood and what I am wearing without having to see the compacts laid out in each set. Though at some point,I just might start wasting printer ink and turn it into a scrapbook of collections, whether me wearing each combination, or the promo ad for the kits....Not sure yet, need to think on it and get advice from people first.....


Well, I rambled enough for tonight...if anyone sees this and cares to comment or offer suggestions on new product lines to check out, I will eventually start "reviewing" and posting swatches ...maybe...need to test out how good uploading to this is from my phone and picture clarity first..
