Current Reading Material

Sometimes we think we know so much that we forget to update or review our skills and knowledge. So I decided to pick up a few books from the library for review and skills update.

Books I am currently reading..........

The library is a good source especially if you don't want to invest in the books or just want to check them out before possibly buying. You can also get the books through interlibrary loans if your library does not have the books like my library. The two computer books are the ones from my local library. Good reading material... definitely check these books out.

Update and Illamasqua

Hey all my Divas... I am currently reorganizing things and also started a series on Youtube for natural-work/interview/b2school looks. More to come. I plan to do some looks for Halloween starting September 1st or October 1st. Lately I have been trying to clear my computer of large files so I can process my videos faster.

I am not the type to jump on makeup brands as soon as they come out, but Illamasqua looks like a nice brand. I have 2-4 items I plan to check out when it reaches my Sephora store. I think the pure pigment in Fervent and the shadow in Vapour will be nice and different. I have nothing like these two in my makeup collection already. Lipstick in Underworld and intense gloss in Fierce sound too good to pass up also but no lippies yet. I have similar colors but can use backups. Packaging looks beautiful.

Foundation looks nice but I am on a no-buy. I would order online but I am trying not to buy the same colors in different brands. Again I plan to not buy any lipsticks or glosses until I use all the ones on my vanity. I started with 24 glosses and 20 lipsticks. I am down to 18 glosses and 16 lipsticks. So no lippies. :(

Lately I have begun reading more books on makeup, etc. to prepare for a change in careers. Life gives you lemons so make lemonade. lol) Makeup has been a passion of mine for a long time so why not do more with it. Many people careers began as hobbies, etc. I have done photography in the past also and continue to love it also. We shall see what the future holds......
