About me
I’m in my late-ish 40’s, married with 3 beautiful children. Currently 6, 12 & 14. I work part time (paid) and part time for my self employed husband (unpaid). I love make up and am a sucker for new products but being on a tight budget means I don’t get to indulge in the more expensive brands. I have been kept busy with my family so beauty routines and techniques have taken a back seat for the last 10 years. I love to read about new tips that will save me time (and money)! I find reading other BHers reviews informative and helpful. I like to look at the forum and read other people’s comments but will not always comment myself. I have blue eyes, so so skin, (a bit dull with breakouts - for g-sake I’m over 40 the pimples should have stopped by now). The best my skin has ever looked was when I was pregnant. Why can’t one of the cosmetic companies replicate that and put it in a bottle? My hair is curly/wavy dark brown and knots easily. I am of Italian background and have the dark eye area.Age range
