Mondays With Meg

Meg here! I have to address a common email I've been getting-the new FTC blogger guidelines. Here is what they are cracking down on-in a peanut nutshell...

As a result of the evolving level of influence inherent in the social Web, and web in general, the notice incorporates several amendments to the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising and blogging, which address endorsements by consumers, experts, organizations, and celebrities, as well as the disclosure of important connections between advertisers and endorsers. Fines for violating the new rule will run up to $11,000 per incident.

Here's the God Honest Truth-It would hurt Megsmakeup.com way worse than a monetary fee fine to sell Bullshit and tell you ladies to buy something that didn't work. That's the truth. The minute my readers think I am a sell-out is the moment Megsmakeup.com is dead in the water.

Meg here! I've never been one of "those girls" that put really much stock in tarot cards or palm readers or psychics. I do believe in energy though. I think there is something to that whole "manifesting your future" bit.

Like a lot of you, I've had a pretty trying year. I don't go to church but I say my prayers at night. I spend a lot of my time try to figure things out in my head. Too much time trying to make sense of things that are really not suppose to make sense. They just are what they are. When I was little my father would tell me "stop living in your head."

A lot of the time it is great therapy to have megsmakeup because I can ask you all questions or look for guidance right here. I am never let down by the intelligent and brave answers that you'll provide not just me but each other with. It's always a good thing to be open to new experiences and when I got an email from Psychic Girl Justine Kenzer I was very excited to open it.

Meg here! I want to be very honest-I like my cocktails, I like my ciggs and I never get enough sleep or have a proper diet. In my teenage years I liked to use tanning beds and would lie sunscreen free in the sun. I have a few responsible qualities...I'm sure they'll come to me sooner or later.

Oh, got one! I usually read directions. That does not apply to my review of the following product. Cosminology has a DAY cream that is "Big Bang Those Light Years Away! Hi-Plutonic C Antioxident Cream." Ok, I am an idiot-because I thought this was amazing as a night cream.

First of all, it's (for lack of a more descriptive term) buttery. No, It's not like a greasy stick of butter. It's consistency is sort of like those really high end body butters. It is really decadent and you only need a dime size amount and you will have a luxuriously covered face. It feels like it's thick but the spreading consistency is divine. It doesn't ball up flake. Here's the scientific part I don't understand-for all of it's fabulous richness it absorbs extremely quickly into your skin. I hate going to bed all slick-WHICH IS WHY IT IS A DAY CREAM. Nothing's worse in the morning then being in a race with the clock and having to wait for your face to dry so you can apply your paint!  I digress...

Meg here! Who loves you baby? Well, yeah Cat Hickland does because she's actually the one practically giving her Skin Double Foundation away to you-but I do too! I love Cat too so it's just a big ole love fest over here!

Cat Cosmetics Silk Perfection Primer Read Reviews here!  Had us going for it like catnip! It's a staple product and a "Must Try." It's one of the best primers on the market. The comments over this were phenomenal. If you need any more incentive to try then read on about her fabulous Skin Double Foundation promotion...

Meg here! Jeanasina came all the way from Minnesota, Sweetassgal and Stylemama live in California and Mjsred arrived from Texas. We decided it would be easiest to all meet at The Hilton at the Los Angeles Airport. That way we could all meet at once before we started our trip to The Madonna I nn.

There were lots of hugs and as you can see, we were very excited to finally meet each other....
