Good Morning Chicas!
So I woke up this morning (after hitting the snooze 4 or 5 times). I did the usual, make coffee, and head in to shower. I got out and sat at my makeup table. I thought hmmm, what eyeshadow palette do I want to use today? Naked, Naked 2, Lorac Pro, Wet N Wild, lots of options. I decided I was going to mix it up and used a little of each. Anyhow, I was just finishing my look and when I opened my drawer of mascaras, it was stuck. I thought "what the hell?" I began to shake the drawer, trying to et the contents inside to settle. (You know exactly what I mean lol) I began smacking the sides, and finally the damn drawer slid open. Yay!! Now to choose the mascara I want. I started looking at my options and I was digging around. Of course my most used are on top so I thought I would dig a little "deeper" and bring out an old favorite. Only problem is, I had about 17 "old favorites". I was a little taken back. Im usually in such a trance in the morning, I do the same thing every morning. Almost in repetition. I never paid much attention to the contents in the drawer. So I decided to dump out the drawer and count. I had 27 tubes of mascara. From things such as Covergirl an Maybelline, to Benefit and Dior. So my thoughts for this quick post this morning is how many is too many. Now I am well aware I should only keep mascara for 3 months from the time it is opened. So I am going to ditch what I have (except for the few I know are practically brand new) and start over. Maybe go buy a few old faves and test out some new ones. How many is too many to have in an everyday collection?
I will start adding reviews and pictures hopefully in my post tomorrow. I want to know what else would you like to read on here? Just makeup related? Or also personal things? Yes this is my page and I can be as real as I want and add anything my little heart desires but I just want a few topics. I do hope you will stay tuned for more. Time for work. Have a great day!
Ciao,

First Time!
Deciding to start doing a "beauty blog" was a very hard descion. Well, maybe not hard, but it definitely is something I have dedicated myself to entirely. I try A LOT of makeup, I learn from a lot of makeup artists, I have done a lot of makeup, and most importantly I am passionate about it.
So how exactly do you start something like this? I don't believe there is any particular way and I just need to find my own groove. This is going to be totally real. It is just me! I need to start by telling you a little about myself.
I am a 26 year old single mom to an amazing 3 1/2 year old boy. I work a full time job and because of that, Lets just stick with Italian Bell as my name :) Hahaha. Once I get in tune with this, I will do videos, (makeup related) and also disclose more about myself personally. I am from a super small town. I have had a love for makeup for as long as I can remember. I use to take my moms old makeup (it was usually some crazy blue and pink eyeshadows. Oh the good ol 80's ) and my friends and I would play "makeover" on the weekends. I know some of you can relate. Don't be shy!! Sitting in my bedroom with my best girlfriend, playing barbie dolls, or house, and needing to put a ton of crazy makeup on (looking like we are about to join the circus ) when in reality we are playing the sexy mom or the wild college student. Wow am I the only one who played things like that?? Hmmm just join me and say no. Lol. So anyhow I went to highschool and college. I have always worked and after I had my son in June of 2009, I was home a lot. Well babies tend to sleep and I was looking for someting to pass my time. As if washing clothes, making formula, and napping wasnt enough. I took to YouTube. I became engrossed in watching and learning about makeup. It didnt take long before my own makeup collection grew. What was once able to fit in a teeny tiny 3 drawer, clear platic container, is now so big that I need multiple storage options. I have a passion for not only high end, but also drug store. I feel like I give a lot of advice to those around me. I work with about 200 women in an office setting and they have almost all at one time or another asked me to either give them tips, do their makeup, do their daughters makeup, or go with them to help them buy things. It is a good feeling when someone trusts you. Especially when it comes to your appearance. So I would like to spread my knowledge and also have viewers who can comment and share with me what they know. Tips, and tricks are more than welcome. So join me for my ride. When I decide to post videos, I will announce it. Also, if there is something you would like reviewed, please feel free to leave a comment. I have quite a lot of ideas coming up. I hope you will stay tuned!!!
