I am taking a brief break from my regular posts to write you all a quick note.
First, I apologize for not being able to post a regular entry this morning - I had no power! We had a big storm in my area of the province (Ontario) yesterday evening that knocked out power for about 30 hours. My town had some damage - lots of trees down, and consequently things the trees fell on were damaged (cars mostly, but a few houses); power lines down; branches and brush everywhere. I am terrified of storms, so I was cowering in the basement while it was all happening. I'm glad the ordeal is over; I do not know how people who live in Tornado Alley deal with storms!
I live near the city of Ottawa, which was hosting Bluesfest (a blues music festival - it's amazing!) and this happened during the storm, just to give you a flavor of the power of the storm.Yes, unfortunately there were people hurt in this accident, but no fatalities.
Second, how do you all feel about me posting a video or two a month to this blog (and consequently, YouTube)? I filmed a little something and tried to upload it, but apparently YouTube hates me and was taking way frickin' too long so I cancelled my upload. I am thinking of doing my Monthly Faves as video posts. Of course, I would still do a written post with better pictures and swatches, and listing out the products I'm favoring - but my spiel about each item would be via video. What do you guys think? Is this idea a No or a Go?
Last, I AM working on a Haul post for you about my purchases from the MAC Semi Precious collection. I know there are a lot of people out there who hate Mineralize products from MAC and completely dodged this collection because of that - but they are honestly my favorite part of the MAC line (aside from Paint Pots, lol). Pigmentation can be dodgy on some of them, and there are a few glittery shadows out there, but I love them still :) Here's a picture of my box of goodies, for a preview!
So, bear with me while I get my posts back on track over the next few days! I will be posting a review tomorrow morning and hope to post my Haul on Friday!
Have a lovely evening, everyone! :)
