I LOVE makeup. I have cheapie makeup and I have expensive makeup. I would be willing to eat cereal for a week to buy an awesome new eyeshadow palette. I love having a wide selection of colors and textures. I love being able to change my look from cutie girl next door to vampy glam moviestar in 15 minutes. I love that I can hide a night of partying or 9 months of motherhood with a good concealer. I love getting a great deal at a drugstore on a killer product that costs under 10 dollars but feels like luxury. I HATE spending 20 dollars on a product to bring it home and find out it slides down my face in 45 minutes, or makes me look like Bozo the Clown. I am scared to death of clowns. I don't need to spend money to see one staring back at me in the mirror.
I am a huge fan of Paula Begoun. Paula is the cosmetics cop. I saw her on Cityline several years ago and have been a follower ever since. She is a consumer advocate, debunking myths and fallacies in the beauty industry. She has written numerous books or product reviews, maintains on online cosmetics database to advise consumers of worthy/terrible products and has recently started her own cosmetics line, Paula's Choice. Her line is affordable and AMAZING! I ordered a few items online a couple of weeks ago and am in awe of the quality of the eyeshadow and gel eyeliner. For more info on Paula, check out the following links:

There's also a canadian site for ordering, with slightly less product selection, http://www.cosmeticscop.ca.
Happy face painting!!
