I’m Still On The Job. Promise.
Just a weeny update to say that Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked!® blog is not 100% just yet, but it’s on the road. So, fingers crossed, it shouldn’t be long. We’re aiming for things to be right by tomorrow, latest. It’s a pity I wasn’t gifted with technical expertise where all things internet are concerned, but rest assured, I not only use all the brains I have, but those that I can borrow!

Under Construction!
Eep! I think my blog is broken. *cry* I did some fiddling around with the site yesterday (when will I learn?) and may have broken my cherished blog. What The? Not a single image from the last week or so is visible. *sob* So I’ll have to get that sorted ASAP. Fingers crossed it won’t be long before we are cooking with gas again! Wish me luck!

Did They Think I Wouldn’t Notice?
This Friday kicks off a week of birthday celebrations in the Beauty Marked!® household. We have three birthdays within the next seven days. So in efforts to pick up a few last minute clothing bits and bobs for the wee ones welcoming in a new year of life, I ran into my local Target store, as you do. Low and behold, I was hit by several large photographic murals of smiling kids either cuddling up to the Target logo like it was the most cherished of teddy bears or the coolest toy ever, along a couple of the main outer walls. At first glance, the images were cute, quasi-benign, and perhaps a little cheeky, but on second look…*my eyes bug out*…Outrageous! The little girls, we’re talking maybe 6 or 7 years old, were wearing more makeup than I do, even on my full face days! Uber glossy, nearly dripping cherry red lips, cheeks sporting the flush of a fallen angel, and eyelashes complete with lashings of the inkiest mascara. And yes, I saw you too, smudgy eyeliner, along the lower lashline! My goodness, what is this world coming too? You’ve got to go and check it out and tell me if you noticed it too. For once in my life, I’ll be glad to learn that I’ve just imagined it. I suspect though, that it wasn’t me, this time, that has lost her mind. So wrong.

Don’t Forget Your Wet Weather Gear.
I’m talking wet weather makeup gear. I don’t know about in your neck of the woods, but in mine, we’ve been having wonderful weather… wonderful weather for ducks, that is. Wet, windy, cold and wild. Blustery, precipitous weather is absolutely no excuse to abandon the makeup ship. Just be sure to grab and apply your favourite waterproof mascara, long wearing gel eyeliner, cream blush, and super emollient lippie before stepping out and you’ll be sweet. As long as you batten down the hatches with these staples on, you can build on top of them and be assured to come out the other end of all the weather about still looking fab. Plus, I always reckon that if I can maintain the makeup magic, no one will notice the havoc the elements are clearly reaping on my hair!
