Ok so, after all my time spent on YouTube and blogs over the past few
years, I finally overcame my fears and decided to take the plunge and
begin writing my own blog! I always thought that blogging was something “other
people” did; people who were far more interesting than me and who seriously
knew their stuff.
But I have realised that, in reality, most of those “other people” are
really just like me – people who have a passion for something! And it’s not
that they know everything there is to know, rather they are just choosing to
share their experiences and knowledge with the rest of the internet. After all,
we all have to start somewhere, and even the Jedi Masters began as young
padawans... ;)
I am obviously doing this purely as a hobby (and maybe to give myself an
excuse to try new products...!) and it is borne out of my late-blooming (I only
really discovered “beauty” at 19!) love for makeup and beauty. A bit late to
the party, I know, but product reviews on blogs and YouTube have helped me when
I was starting out, and if I can help one person save their money on a rubbish
product, find a product perfect for them, or just make them smile or laugh
along the way then I consider my work to be done. After all, everyone deserves
to feel beautiful, inside and out, and although “no amount of makeup can mask
an ugly heart” (Kevin Aucoin) I don’t think there’s anything wrong with
indulging in a little ‘prettying up’ every now and then!
I don’t claim to know everything about beauty – far from it! I’m not a
makeup artist, hair stylist or actually anything remotely to do with the beauty
industry; but I do love it. And thought it might be worth a shot to share the
things I love (and probably some stuff I hate) with anyone out there who wants
to listen.
SO where to begin...well my name is Amy and I live in Devon, in the UK.
I’m 24 and, besides most things beauty and makeup, I love my dogs, (loud) music,
food (especially pizza!), high heels, movies, my favourite TV shows (Sherlock,
Supernatural and Game of Thrones) and surfing. Oh and Star Wars, obviously. I
will be blogging about a range of things to do with beauty: makeup, skincare,
body stuff, hair stuff, nails and probably some fashion thrown in there as
well. If I get brave enough/wake up early enough before work I may also do some
Face Of The Day and Outfit Of The Day posts, as I always enjoy reading about
those myself. I also have twitter @LipGlossJedi and Instagram @lipglossrebel if you would like to
follow/stalk me on there. I may occasionally (ok, often) reference Star Wars, so if
you don’t get those references – sorry, but you’re going to have to skip over
them or watch it! (Definitely watch it. What are you waiting for?!)
Well, thank you so much for reading! One of the things I am most looking
forward to is talking to you guys so please do comment and get involved!
May the gloss be with
you...
Amy
