My children, of course, need a mother to care for them and love them. And all the stuff in between care and love, you know; teething, reflux, nappy rash, learning to walk, learning to talk, toilet training, tantrums, the arguing, that damn word WHY? that kids seem to pick up very early on.
So for many years while the other things around me came first, I sort of forgot the woman I used to be. The fiery, smart, well groomed girl disappeared. In it's place came a frumpy, stressed and angry woman who's idea of style was a black hair tie and very loose tracky daks.
Although I do still love my baggy trackies and an overly large t-shirt, something else has been stirring within.
I have renewed my love affair with makeup. Although the last time I was really into my make up, Poppy King rules with her bold matte colour palette for lips. If there was something I could do, it was to rock a very matte, very red lip. God blessed me with full lips. And sarcasm.
So, where do you start when you want to dip your toes into the cosmetic world after a very long drought??
You Tube. God bless the inventors of You Tube. Have you visited it lately? You can learn practically anything on this website.
Let me tell you, there is about a gazillion videos out there, but the one I am currently obsessed with is the pixiwoo.com blog/You Tube tutorials.
The makeup artists are two sisters and I have spent many many hours checking out their videos on doing different looks. Thanks to their help and recommendations, I have taken a leap into the 'Me' pool and I'm absolutely loving it.
I have always loved makeup. It's like a little bit of medicine in a lipstick or bronzer. I am loving trying new things. I get things wrong... but I will keep on trying. The cosmetic industry is a multi billion dollar industry and I am gobsmacked at some of the prices out there. Thank the gods for online shopping.
I've included a link for the pixiwoo blog on You Tube. Hope it works. I love it!!
