I love makeup and beauty products of all kinds. I always have, and I always will. I'm not a huge fan of the normal stuff though. Nope. For a beauty product to lure me in, it has to have some kind of special something about it. Whether that's the color, texture, or effect, it all depends. I am currently IN LOVE with some of the really fun makeup trends that are going on ...
