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!!!

Ciao,
Italin Bella  :)
