May Musings aka Stash & Review

I think I shall dedicate the month of May to a Stash & Review and musing on my love of make-up and all that means to me...

I have always been drawn to pots and pans and tubes of color. My eye is always drawn to colorful bouquets and paintings that sing with color. While most would look at their make-up as a means to an end often times I simply adore opening compacts and twisting up tubes and simply enjoying the color I see.

Of course I love wearing it as well and there is a bit of satisfaction when the palette of colors you have chosen looks as lovely in "real" life as it did when imagining the combination.

In addition to color there is also the beauty of packaging that enhances the product, the ads that are used to convey the concept of the collection. The lovely faces one sees from people using and loving the colors, whether it be from artists or "regular" people who share their love make-up and beauty.

There is the discovery of finally finding the color that you have been dreaming of, the moment you find the absolute perfect color, the one that makes your eyes sparkle and your skin glow...

Of course if your confidence is found simply by the make-up you wear than I think you have missed the point of all that glorious color....
