What is Makeup Bag?

Makeup Bag is a beauty website that features daily beauty product reviews, industry tips and trends, and gratuitous advice for the beauty obsessed. For this you will like it. I am sure of it.

Why do you write “we” and “us” when it’s really just you?

When I started Makeup Bag in 2006, I imagined it to be a site with several contributors, including my sister and other beauty-obsessed friends, so I thought “we” and “us” made sense for that purpose.

Is Bree really your daughter?

What you’re really trying to say is that I look much too young to have a 19-year-old child, right?! Ha. Actually, I had Bree when I was just a 21 year old baby. I also have two other daughters (Bailey, age 17 and Janey, age 9) and a teenage stepson (Cody, age 18).

Why should I trust your opinion when you’re not even a beauty professional? (And you can’t spell!)

My opinion is just that—an opinion. Take it or leave it, pal. But do know that I put my heart and soul (along with every spare moment) into Makeup Bag to bring you the latest beauty news, information and product reviews.

And, for the record, I won the Spelling Bee in third grade, so I really do know how to spell (most words, anyway. My problem is that I can’t type—and my grammar sucks). Does that count?

How do I know when your site is updated?

I try to update at least once a day midweek, and sometimes on the weekend too. The best way to be notified of new content is by subscribing to the feed.

You should also subscribe to Makeup Bag Monthly , a once-a-month bulletin delivered right to your email in-box with exclusive news, hot stories and tons of giveaways.
