You were right

Ok, read the title again dear hubby, cause those words don't escape my lips very often, and not because you aren't ever right, but because it hurts to admit it :)
So, what he was right about is BLOGGING. He tried to tell me about blogging about 4 years ago, but the way he described it, it was for techy people and I envisioned a blank screen with a blinking cursor from the 80's! He said people just write about anything, whatever and people read it. I didn't understand that the blog was so versatile, that there were SITES of these, not just some journal on someone's own elusive webpage. Wish I had understood what he was trying to tell me and wish I had started back then!! Oh well, no better time than the present :) As I've struggled with how to grow my mineral makeup business over the last 7 years, I knew I wanted to market online, but wasn't sure how. Blogging is IN and it WORKS!!!

New and Improved!

Nope, not my furniture as seen in yesterday's post! It's makeup. My mom is here helping me get the Lisha Lynn supply restocked and everytime I have to fill my supply, I can't help but play around with the colors. I haven't had any complaints in 6 years of business, so I guess everyone agrees with me, an improvement is an improvement!
I started with Dark Plum eyeshadow and it is basically the same, just brighter and sparklier. More plummy!
Then I did Brown Shimmer Blush, I actually have pics of this one! The old one I was never excited about

(pic of it on the bowl) and today I threw a little of this and a little of that into it, and voila, it was BETTER. So I added some bronze, brown micas with lots of interference (gold, bronze, copper undertones) and then on a whim threw in a baby pink interference color which was amazing! So, the color on the left is the old, the one on the right is the new! The old is yellowish undertone and the new is more cool undertones and has blues and pinks which brighten anyone's complexion!


I'm still working on getting better pics. I can only do so much people!!! Typing this up while Rylan is feeding. Poor baby, his head bobs on my arm as I type. LOL
The wonders of multitasking!
