Make up and such like

So I haven't yet talked about my love of all things make up. I don't know what it is about it, but since I was about 10 I have been in awe of the stuff. It started with the Avon Catalouge, I dont use their products anymore but it was their products that started my fascination with painting my face and changing my image.

Of course I was well aware of make up when i was even younger, my mother painted me up like a china doll (a very overly made china doll i might add!) when i did tap dancing and was in the end of year show. I did look rather like a clown in her make up, but still, it was the look of the 80s, and Mum sure did like her blusher!

And then i got given a doll from my dad which he brought in america called 'Candy'. I think she was a doll I got before I got into barbie, as she was very hard plasitc and not very posable, and her hair was a mass of frizz and not very easy to style. She came with a make up kit,but i remember it looking more like a painting kit! Blues and red eye shadows clashed terribly.
But once barbie came allong she already had a painted face, and Jem and the Holograms had such fab painted faces there was no need (or no way) to change them.

So anyway, bringing us up to date with my latest obsession! Well its not really latest, I've been obsessed with make up for sometime. And my family always tell me off for buying more of it, i cant help it, section me, for I am a make up junkie!!

One of the brands I love the most is MAC. They came over here in 1994 and I remember reading all about them in the magazines and being very excited to hear of an ethically sound make up brand, that make up artists used and so did the celebs.

I am so excited that FINALLY MAC have opened a shop in cambridge, so i never have to worry about running out of any of my favourite products. I love the lipsticks and the lipglasses, the eyelashes, mascara, powder and foundation are all amazing, I also just brought one of their stippling brushes for foundation and its amazing, makes my foundation look flawless on.

Well I think thats enough for today, I will blog again soon!
