I’ve read all of the Ender series, at least twice. I’ve handed them out to friends, so that they too could experience the wonder Actually, I’m not sure where all my books are – I need to get them back!

I’ve been wearing makeup forever, but not well, unfortunately. I usually give things the old college try, but it ends up looking like I used Homer Simpson’s makeup gun on my face. And now I work from home, so I almost never wear anything on my face. But I love to read about makeup and to window shop for it. And I’m always learning valuable tips from blogs like yours, so maybe one day it will all come together and I’ll be able to put on a great face.

As far as favorite makeup brands, I don’t really have one. I’ve liked a lot of the Stila things I’ve tried. But I’ve never tried MAC – can you believe it?

Great choices! Are you a Shu fan, too?

I know! The shadows especially are really fantastic.

Oh yah! It’s just up the street. It’s a beautiful store and has this gorgeous mural on the wall. There’s so much space and the artists are really great. I gotta warn you, though, that you may end up spending a LOT of time there.

Ha! I totally wanted to be one of the Rio chicks, especially the one skulking around the speed boat! Do you have a favorite Duran Duran song? Mine is probably Reflex.

Remember how you had to choose your favorite member of the band? Like, if you liked John there was NO WAY IN HELL that you’d be on Team Simon or vice versa? LOLOL!

Ahh, Ender’s Game. Did you read the whole series? I have to confess: I went through a phase when I wanted to name my children Ender and Valentine.

Makeup is a fun and artistic way to express your creativity! Like all skills it takes a practice. I still have a lot to learn … but I enjoy playing with it and sharing the tips/tricks I learn along the way. Did you just start wearing it? What are your favorite brands?
