This is a discussion thread about the amazing world of cosmetics.

We will have discussion topics, occasional giveaways, contests, or games, and tons of fun. You don't have to bring anything to the table but an open mind and heart.

It doesn't matter if you identify as a man or a woman, or if you're young or old. It doesn't matter if your cosmetic collection takes up a jean pocket or a whole closet. Maybe your makeup routine is a swipe of lip balm before running out the door, a dab of concealer and powder, or full-coverage foundation and a smokey eye. Maybe it's somewhere in the middle.

You are fabulous, and you are welcome here.

You definitely don't have to answer these, but they're meant to get the conversation started! I intend to change these monthly.


❀ Who is your makeup "muse"? A celebrity? A family member? Whose looks inspire you?

❀ What is one makeup product that has never worked for you?

Since I kind of neglected this thread over the past few months, I've decided to do a new little contest! Post a picture of all of your day-to-day makeup products, laid out on a table; everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for a Shepherdess de l'Agneau, an Owyn the Barn Owl!, or a Butter the Baby Lion! This raffle will go on until the New Year (January 1st, 2015)!

All participants:

1. Artistic Wizard, pg. 5
