Welcome!!

Here's a little background on me:

My name is Stephanie and I am a NYC born Jersey girl.
I started beauty blogging in December of 2011 because I needed an outlet for all of this knowledge I have acquired over the years.
If I am not home cuddling up with my 3 lb Chihuahua, Valentina

, I can be found spending countless hours playing with makeup, hair, nails, clothing, photography; learning about dogs; reading medical journals; listening to music

; daydreaming about my next travel adventure.
In addition to playing with makeup and beauty products, I love researching them and knowing the molecular forces behind their magic.
So if I tell you about a product, you better believe I did my homework.
I am not a "trained" makeup artist, but I am passionate about beauty

- always have been, thanks to my makeup artist mother who
is a professional with training, who taught me everything she knew at an early age.
I graduated with a degree in Neuroscience and a minor in Chemistry. Therefore, it is in my nature to
need to understand the science behind the products I use. You will see this in a lot of my posts

, and will hopefully set my blog apart from a lot of others.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page, and for being interested enough in me to have clicked this section. I look forward to this experience!
