About ’Merry’
This started as a blog and became a "blogsite" (or is it a "weblog"?) when my adventures turned me - a high-flying Makeup Artist/Trainer, into a working-mommy, in a totally new country.
A place to read about Beauty Must-Haves, Techniques, Reviews, and Makeup Know-How. Get to know me, as I try to change the world, one face at a time. :)
