Many of you know I am not a fan of Botox.

I tried it once and I really did not like the "frozen" effect it gave my face.  Also I was always, in the back of my mind, a little concerned about putting something in my body that was not there naturally.  It never seemed to line up with my personal philosophy about beauty and health.

This past weekend I had the privilege of working with some very talented cosmetics professionals.  

I was asked to give a workshop to help hone their make up artistry skills and I have to say it was a pleasure to be in the company of such eager and excited people. One of my favourite joys is to teach. It reminds me of all the fun the beauty industry offers.

One topic that came up, more than once, was the difficulty in matching foundation shades for their clients.

Yes even the pros have difficulty with this!

Ok it is true—I have been MIA for a little while. Rest assured I am back now.

Truth is I have been working on a massive project about which I cannot yet tell you, yet. Very soon though I will be writing about an amazing new concept store that is opening in Canada. Oh no I have already said too much!  Stay tuned to this blog to learn more in the coming weeks.
