Yep, I missed the mark this Monday due to my hectic work schedule, but I figure it’s never too late to talk about makeup. With Black Friday approaching, we are now entering The Most Wonderful Time of the Year for many a Fashionista and Glamazon. The time when we fabulous sales fall from the sky like rain and we can all shop unfettered and undeterred to our hearts are content.
