A New Side Gig Over at Gloss Daily…

February 14th, 2013 by Karen 28 Comments

Gloss Daily Secrets of the Eye Makeup Mavens
Yup, that’s me!

Not sure if I mentioned this yet, but I recently got a side gig contributing to Gloss Daily, the Ladies’ Home Journal beauty blog.

I’m pretty stoked about it. Today they’re featuring a post I wrote about bright eye shadow (especially if you’re color shy). If you get a chance, hop over and check it out, and if you’re feeling moved, please tweet/like/or leave a comment. 🙂

I’ll be contributing new articles to the site pretty often going forward.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Oh, if you happen to be on the market for a new blush, this may give you some ideas: Bolster Your Makeup Bag This Spring With a New Blush.

    Karen, I’m a regular lurker but I don’t usually comment. Congratulations on the new gig! That is wonderful news.
    Since I’m de-lurking, I’d like to add how much I admire your openness with this blog.

    That’s awesome, Karen! Honestly, I’m shocked that Tabs even allowed this though. Isn’t he worried this is going to mean less time as his assistant? 😉

    Congratulations! That’s so great!! You’re awesome and totally deserve it, so take some time to bask (or at least put on some bronzer so you look like you’re basking). 🙂 Great job!
