About Allyson

Allyson is a 20 year old college senior. She is studying Sociology/Criminology. She says, ” I would love to someday be a part of the DEA or a K-9 unit.” She adds, “I wasn’t always the “typical girlie girl” but makeup was something I was always interested in, and good at.”

One of her dreams is to become a freelance makeup artist. She says, “For me, makeup is an art form, and our faces are the blank canvases.”

 

What Allyson blogs about

She mainly blogs about makeup. She does hauls, reviews and tutorials.  However, she also likes to blog about other things. So, she sometimes posts recipes, DIYs and she has 2 posts that she does called Pinterest Interest and What I’m loving Wednesday. These posts don’t always have to do with beauty or makeup.

Allyson says, “I wanted my blog to be a place where I could share the things I love with other people with the main focus being beauty and makeup.” She also says, “I feel as though my blog is a place for me to express myself.” While the blog focuses on beauty she loves to incorporate other things that interest her too. She states that her blog is a place for people to get to know her.

When asked about what got her started, she said, “The YouTube beauty community triggered my passion for blogging.” She has been watching YouTube beauty videos for a while now and she wanted to be a part of a beauty community. However, she did not want to make videos. She soon realized that blogging was an option.

After doing some research she soon found that there was another beauty community – the blogging world! And she was so excited. Allyson started her blog about three years ago but felt discouraged at a point, and stopped blogging. In January of 2012, she decided she was going to start blogging again. She says it was only this month that she connected with some really amazing beauty bloggers, and because of that, she restarted her blog.
