I’ve dedicated my life (and a good portion of my paycheck) to proving that right. But mascara was just the beginning. I’ve conquered the age old problem facing blond girls everywhere – how to take my white blond, barely noticeable hair above my eyes and create the perfect (and visible) eyebrows. I’ve mastered the coveted Hollywood smokey eye without looking like I got punched. I’ve tried every hair product under the sun to keep my locks healthy and radiant. I’ve washed, scrubbed, lotioned and toned with every product I can get my hands on in an attempt to find the best. I’m a self-confessed makeup and beauty product addict and I don’t want rehab. Sephora is my drug of choice and I wouldn’t have it any other way.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;"><br></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;">Ever since high school, friends have called me to find out what I’m using, what I wouldn’t use again, and why they should shell out their hard-earned money on a product. My best friend won’t buy so much as an eyeshadow without calling to find out what brand is best, what color will make her eyes sparkle and whether the girl at the cosmetics counter was being honest or just trying to push crap product on the masses. Get me in the makeup department with one of my friends and it’s game on. Before you can say “Chanel red lipstick”, my hands are filled with the latest and greatest products I’ve been itching to try and my friend is carrying out oodles of products I’ve been raving about.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;"><br></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;">I spend hours figuring out how to do the flawless liquid black eyeliner, honing my skills with a bronzing brush and perfecting my salon quality blow-outs. Beauty may be more than skin deep, but it starts with the skin and I intend on knowing every beauty trick in the book.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;">The latest and greatest beauty tips and hints, fantastic products and everything glamorous can be found all wrapped up in a fabulous red bow, here at RealBeautyReporter.com.<br></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;"><br></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Courier New,monospace;">If there’s a product you are interested in that you don’t see posted, please let me know.
