My 2013 Favorites

-Jill Raposo

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a great 2013 and will have an even better 2014! A new year is a great opportunity to leave the troubles of the past behind and to move forward with new & positive endeavors. I myself am excited to create a new list of goals and work hard this year to achieve them. It was just 2 years ago that I had the crazy resolution to start my own makeup business and I'm happy to say that in that, I succeeded! Never give up on your dreams & goals. If you really want something, go after it and don't stop 'til it's yours! Resolutions shouldn't end the second week of January, they should end when they've been accomplished. So sit down and figure out what will take your life to the next level of greatness, and get to it!

Anyways.....

As you can see I LOVE MAC. If you are unsure of your color or what type of makeup best suits you, take a trip to a MAC store. The employees love to help and are amazing at what they do. If you have the time go visit Christina @ the Burlington Mall MAC store :) She's amaze!
