I love you, Bobbi Brown!

As a child, I had always loved drawing. Most of all, I loved drawing faces of women. I loved drawing their lashes, shading their faces and giving them different hairstyles. I would give them different looks, from the Medieval princess to the 1920's Flapper to the new age Goth rockstar. Now, as I obsess over every little detail of makeup I wear or see in magazines, I see why.

For the past 3 years as a working adult and having a job that requires me to look good at all times, I have embraced the magic of makeup. I simply love it. I love experimenting with different shades of color, playing with different brush strokes and comparing results. I also love buying makeup, and one of my favorite brands of all time is definitely Bobbi Brown. Not only are her products very versatile and practical, she has a beauty philosophy that is true for any woman in the world.

1. Always be on time.

2. Look people in the eye.

3. Tell the truth.

4. Don't smoke.

5. Drink lots of water.

6. Exercise.

7. Eat healthy.

8. Read.

9. Be nice.

10. Never give up.

Don't you just love how it is so simple, no-nonsense and straightforward? Advice you've probably heard a million times but how often is it presented in such a concise, clear manner?

No, I am not a makeup artist and neither am I writing an ad for Bobbi Brown. I'm just a satisfied, sincere customer.

P.S. : I also love how all Bobbi Brown makeup brushes are neatly labeled. I hate having to stick little pieces of paper on my very expensive makeup brushes, then having to deal with the sticky adhesive bits later on.
