Hello Folks! See, I am trying to post more often on this blog! this is just going to be a quick posting, though, as I'm BEAT!!! Just thought I'd post a few pics of some looks that I've done this week--if you're following me on Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/janelporteraspiringmua) you know that I'm aspiring to become a real makeup artist. I'm working to expand my range of "looks" from the everyday to the fanciful and it's a lot of fun (and a lot of work)! No, I'm not in makeup or cosmetology school (too expensive for my pocket) and anyway, after some research, it seems that most agree that real life practice is the real teacher. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pics and please feel free to offer gentle constructive criticism-it's the only way that I'll get better! Blessings!

HAUL TIME--A SMALL ONE!

Hey guys--how is everyone? It's haul time again for me and guess what I got? I decided to get 12 of the new "Hot Pots" eye shadows by Coastal Scents! They have a special going on right now--if you order 12 Hot Pots, they will throw in a FREE Coastal Scents magnetized eye shadow pallet; they are also offering free shipping on orders during the summer. Here's a picture of my customized pallet:

The colors are SOOO rich and pigmented, they go on very smoothly and they wear well. The pot size is 26mm (same as MAC) and a lot of the colors that Coastal Scents carries are dupes or near dupes for MAC eye shadows. At $4.95 each, I really don't think that you can go wrong! I will definitely be getting some more of these--in fact my next order is already waiting to be cyber-placed; just waiting for my paycheck to be deposited LOL! Turnaround is very quick and with the free shipping, what are you waiting for? Check them out at http://www.coastalscents.com. Also check out Encore's Youtube video where he compares the Hot Pots to MAC. Blessings, kiddos!
