A little bit about Me. :)

Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Jessica and I am 23 years old. I am new to the whole blogging experience, I have always had a love and passion for make up. I started loving makeup at the age of 12 years old.. My mother used to sell Avon when I was a child & I remember one day going down into my basement where she had a box of old samples. At this time she had stopped selling Avon for a few years. I found a package of multicolored eyeliner pencils and I remember asking my mom if I could use them she gave me permission. I remember feeling so excited to try something new so I ran into the bathroom and lined my waterline in the black pencil. I loved the results and could not wait to try it the next day for school! Ever since that moment I was obsessed with eyeliner... As the years went on I became more intrigued with trying MORE so I went into my moms makeup bag and started playing with  eye shadows,liquid liners & foundations, blushes etc.. When I had reached the age of 13-14 I remember standing in the mirror before school EVERY morning (running late) getting frustrated with liquid liner trying to line the lids of my eyes perfectly. My 8th grade prom I remember my mother allowed me to get my make up done professionally for the first time in my life and I was soooo excited! I arrived at the salon by my house with a clean face ready and excited couldn't wait to see the results! When I looked in the mirror I was amazed. When I went home and studied everything that the makeup artist had done on my face and I couldn't wait to try it the next day. When the next day had arrived and I remember I had one of those cheap makeup kits. I remembered all the contours and highlighting I had saw on my eyes and did it myself. It came out almost exact. From than on I knew I absolutely loved to do makeup, as each day went on I began to experiment with different things colors shapes and I learned what looked good & bad. I started doing makeup on my friends and wanting to learn everything. By the time high school ended I had already knew what I wanted MAKEUP SCHOOL! So I did some research on my computer and saw we had some cosmetology schools on Staten Island and I thought eh, why not give it a try? So as soon as possible I set up an interview with The Paul Mitchell School. I thought well might as well learn from the best! As soon as I walked into the school I was excited it looked like so much fun every one was nice and welcoming I couldn't wait to start. When I sat down with the admissions leader I had no intentions of doing hair I was looking more into a makeup course. Than the admissions leader had  informed me that it was a cosmetology school and that you would learn everything from hair-makeup and I figured why not give it a try so I took that chance and found out that not only do I love doing makeup.. I enjoy doing color as well! I never really liked hair cutting but I love creative color, styling chemical treatments hair extensions etc. In this field there are so many opportunities! So now today I am a licensed cosmetologist and I currently work in a hair salon in Brooklyn doing everything!  In this blog I will be going over and reviewing some of my favorite beauty/hair products and some new purchases. I hope you all enjoy what I have to say and I hope maybe it will help some of you make the right choices when shopping for some products!

Here is a photograph when I was 15 I was going to a friends sweet 16. I did my own makeup from what I had taught my self and I think I did a pretty good job for a 15 year old.

Here's a picture of me and my friend Amanda I did both of our makeup the same this is when I started playing with different colors.

I think I was like 17 here this was before beauty school again just playing around with my 120 BH cosmetics pallet I had purchased off bhcosmetics.com that I was in LOVE with. Its a great to start with and even if you are a makeup artist and don't want to purchase all those expensive crazy colored name brand shadows these are GREAT! especially with  the right BASE your eye shadow will stay on all night no matter what brand you use.

You can find one of these pallets at bhcosmetics.com

So far my favorite Primers are the Urban Decay primer potion, and MAC paint pots
which can both be purchased here,

http://www.urbandecay.com/ or Sephora.com  they come in a varitey of colors depending on the look and intensity you are going for..

And the MAC paint pots which can be purchased at Maccosmetics.com or Macys.com

I hope my first story & reviews help you for future purchases! My next entry will include my everyday routine and my favorite products! I hope I've helped KIND feed back is definitely appreciated. =)
