Oh make-up, how I love you. Make-up, which falls under the umbrella term, cosmetics, can make a gal feel dainty and gorgeous, sharp and defined or discreet and chic. The use of make-up dates back to 3500 BC in Egypt and the first company on record is L’Oréal, founded in 1901. So it’s clear to see it’s stood the test of time. Today, cosmetics rake in a whopping $19 billion a year. Woe. Im proud to say that with the help of the below products, I contribute a little drop in that bucket. Here’s a little cosmetic eye candy and a few of my must have pieces.
