Allow me to introduce myself...




Hello, lovelies. I'm Jessica (never Jessie), and I'm (not-so-secretly) a beauty product addict. I've been following blogs and youtube video posters for some time now, and then it hit me: I could do this! I SHOULD do this!

There are so many products I'm geared up to review. I can't wait. :)

I guess I'll start with an introduction of sorts....

I'm 26. I live in Orlando, FL. I grew up in Chicago, IL and Cincinnati, OH. My dad is English, and even though I never lived there myself (and only have visited twice!), I've always felt connected to the culture. I'm the older sister of an awesome 22-year-old brother. I work at Disney. I have a yorkie named Sparky who I spoil ROTTEN. I'm very impulsive and I have an addictive personality (ya think??). Other things I love: dolls (especially Barbie and Blythe), fashion, breakfast food, Hello Kitty, Target. I love books and magazines. I want to kiss whomever invented the DV-R (I work at a dinner-only restaurant).

Favorite shows, currently airing: 90210, America's Next Top Model, Law & Order: SVU, Cold Case, The Soup, How I Met Your Mother, Degrassi, Wizards of Waverly Place, Medium

Favorite shows, oldies: Saved By the Bell, Full House, Jem & the Holograms, My So-Called Life, Sex & The City

Favorite movies: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast (when will it be released on DVD again??), Love Actually, A Christmas Story, Fried Green Tomatoes, Amelie, Clueless, Empire Records, Barbie as the Princess & the Pauper, Some Like it Hot

(I could do more, like favorite bands, favorite books... but I have sooo many!!)

And, in keeping with the theme of the blog, here's a few links to beauty-related lists I made on Kaboodle:

Some of the makeup/beauty products I regularly use.

Some products I swear by (this list is a work in progress!).

And, lastly, some products that have disappointed me.


Now maybe you can tell me some things about YOU! I'd love to hear about things you like, dislike, or just anything you'd like to get off your chest (unless it's that you think I'm a dumb blonde whore, in which case please keep it to yourself, thanks!).

So I guess that concludes my first official beauty blog post. Thanks for reading, and I'm sure you'll hear from me again soon! :)

  1. Should I be taking notes, or are you aiming at a younger audience? I'm eagerly awaiting your recommendations for holiday glitter, even if I won't wear it.

  2. I will wear the glitter, Becke. But I, too, am of a less-than-younger audience, so I'll be interested in products that are formulated to disguise some of my less-than-youngerness.

    And BARGAINS! Tell me all about bargains, Miz Jessica!

  3. I believe it's essential to get the most glitter out of life even if it's just made up of sparkly things. I'm with Keri and want advice on the products being touted for older women--I do like the less than youngerness reference. I think I'll stick with that from now on. Thanks Keri!

    But I'm also thinking this will be an awesome reference for the writer-me who needs to be aware of what the hot things younger women are using, wearing, etc.

    I am now making you my official technical expert on the 20 something fashion and makeup scene! SQUEE!
