I’m Angela, a 40-something wife and mom in love with all things beauty.

My guilty pleasures?  YouTube makeup tutorials, watching The Real Housewives series, online shopping (usually for beauty items or gadgets!), sleeping-in whenever possible and chocolate.

What’s my beauty story? Well, I’ve always loved makeup and started wearing foundation in my early teens just as soon as I could scrape up enough money to buy one. Nowadays, makeup and skin care have become such a staple in my life, because it’s during my morning makeup routine or my night time skin care regimen that I enjoy the “me-time” that is so precious and scarce as a mom.

And then one day, I decided to start a beauty blog, because I just wasn’t busy enough.

I figured that all the time I put into watching makeup tutorials, reading-up on the latest skin care ingredients and spending a small fortune on new beauty products had led me to gain a wee bit of knowledge and experience in the realm of beauty that I could share with others. Occasionally I’ll come across a great exercise tip, style accessory or parenting epiphany, so I’ll share my thoughts on those things too.

Blush & Pearls is my way of sharing my experiences, good and bad, in the hopes that readers will take away some useful tidbit that might make their day just a touch easier or at the very least, help them find a really awesome lipstick to wear to work the next day.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Sincerely,
