Hello.... It's Minty

Wow... Here I am. On the loose on the a WorldWideWeb. Hellooooo blogosphere!

I have been pondering on writing a blog for ages. Being someone who is never stuck for words, blogging has it's attractions. I can wax lyrical about whatever takes my fancy and as this is my little corner of the WWW I can write pretty much what I like. I can go on and on about it safe in the knowledge that if anyone reads it it's because they share my passion.

If you stumbled across me then it's probably by accident. As make up was in the title you'd probably expect a largely make up focused blog. Well you'd be right. Cosmetics and skin care are my passion. They are my escape from a stressful job and life.  From reading about it, buying it and playing with it; yes I love it all.

Make up is that thing that perks you up- if I look good then I feel good. It's the little illusion every woman can create that her skin is better than it is, her face is a nicer shape and that she feels better than she in truth does. It's what I do as I prepare for the day ahead. As a working Mum it's my me time.

I am an avid reader of make up blogs. I read every word that legends in the beauty blogging world such as Jane at http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com , Ruth at http://www.amodelrecommends.com and the amazing Caroline Hirons  write. I can only aspire to write amazingly as they do- and for that matter take photos of their standard Here's where I admit that my grasp of computing is not all it could be... So this should be interesting!!

Many beauty bloggers are in their 20's. Well I'm an old bird of 44. I want to write about products that excite me- but ones I use. Ones that other women want to use simply to look and feel their best. Whatever their age. I don't want to look 20 years younger than I am - I just want to look good for my age. But if I can hold the years back I will!! I try to remind myself that ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

Anyway. Enough about me... If you are reading this I guess I figured out how to post. In the next day or so I will write about a few products that inspired me to start this blogging thang.,
