I'm a college professor who in my free time loves to dabble in makeup, beauty and fashion. I may have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun with it.

Halloween Makeup Options
Happy Halloween Everyone!!!
Check out the video on Halloween makeup ideas and fun nail polishes.

I don't have major Halloweenie plans like I usually do this year. With my work and class schedule being so packed I think I'll spend the night in, munching on candy and sipping on hot apple cider. :) I AM very excited about how my roomie and my pumpkins and decorations came out. I'll probably dress up as a Baltimore Oriole baseball player tonight on the off chance we get Trick-or-Treaters at our apartment. Back to the makeup!

Welcome!
Hi all! Welcome to Make (it) Up as You Go! This is just a fun experiment of mine wherein I will discuss cosmetic products and give tutorials. I will mainly focus on affordable products being that I am not the most wealthy individual, but I am not limiting the blog to just that. Check out the welcome video and I'll have more posts to come!
Some cosmetic lines I will focus on include: Avon, Essence, Cover Girl, Mary Kay, Mark, NYC, NYX, Revlon, EcoTools, Rimmel, Wet and Wild, L.A. Colors, L'Oreal and Elf
I am an Avon Independent Sales Representative, so any Avon products I review may be purchased at the following link:

Cheers!
Meg
