Hi and welcome! You found me! This is my little place to show the world how much love I have for anything sparkly and beautiful, hence the name of the blog.
As age progresses, I learn to love skin care and facial cleansing products, on top of the makeup and nail polish I feature along on the blog.
You probably can't guess, I started my makeup journey quite late, when I was in my early 30's. I have no idea where my youth went without makeup. The good thing is I am totally committed now.
It has been a fun ride. I learn quite fast, and build my skills and stash along the way. I am inspired by many beauty blogs and thrive to improve mine to keep up with my thoughts, hauls, great deals around town and all that stuff. It is lovely to have my own place!
A little bit about us. Squirt and I live in Halifax, a small city on the East coast of Canada. Yes, it is cold here and we do get lots of snow (as Canada is always known of to lots of people). Our summer weather lasts about 3 months and people go crazy with it. Except for the weather, I like it here.
It would be more exciting though, if there are more like-minded ladies around here to talk makeup with. Hope this blog helps me get to know more people, and maybe make some friends.
I "debuted" my blog the same day my little Squirt turned 6 so we can have double birthday celebration each year from now on. To my readers, come in and share the love and fun of beauty. Thank you so much for reading!
For a little humour, check out Caroline Hirons' The best things about being in your 40's, which I find a lot to be true :)
So excited you found me -- and now I've found you! Look forward to our conversations through the blogging world.

Thanks!

Smita, (early) welcome to Halifax. It's a great place for studying for sure. Shopping wise, we have good enough resources but don't have big stores (Sephora, Rexall), depending on what you are looking for, I guess. Feel free to comment or email me if you need any recs. For nail polish, I go to Shoppers and Lawtons during sales
