A Better Introduction

Hey everybody. We are new to this blogging thing, but I, Ebony, have seen a lot of great beauty blogs out there. I decided I wanted to start one when I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for on other sites. My sister Ivory wanted to be a part of it, too. So here we are. We do a lot of shopping at Walgreens, Walmart, and Dollar Tree. We live in a small town with not much for shopping options, so we make due with what we have.

We are complete opposites when it comes to our makeup, and we prefer to wear different scents. The only thing we agree on is shampoo and conditioner, and even that isn’t all of the time. We think that having two separate opinions for each review will help people decide if something is worth trying, for them specifically.
Here are some details about us: We are not twins, even if it may seem like it.

Since we live in northern Minnesota (think near the Canadian border) we will be focusing on skin care specifically for colder, harsher weather. We have had no experience with warm, humid weather. We also like double duty makeup. For example, lip color that also moisturizes. A favorite product of ours right now is Dove Men + Care Body and Face wash, the mild formula. We will also review men’s products,along with women's looking at them from a woman’s perspective. Just because they smell like dude doesn’t mean they’re better than stuff that smells like girl.

We are in college right now, so we might not have the time to post as much as we would like, but we will do our absolute best.
That is all for now. We will get our first real post up soon, within a week.
