In the Press

Last night, I came home to check my email, only to scream and wake my poor parents up, to tell them the exciting news that Beauty Fool was on Vogue Italia website, Vogue.it . My dad, who doesn’t really know anything about this industry so to speak, went, “Vogue? I know Vogue!”. They rushed to my room to see and gave me a hug. Aw parents. What an amazing blessing and I am so, so thankful for this. I can’t believe that they would choose me! Thank you, as always, for reading my little blog. Totally a dream come a true.

The article was about the rise of beauty blogging and Vogue Italy’s picks for the 10 best beauty blogs, check out the story here, just remember to put it in Google Translate if you can’t read Italian!

In case you are wondering why the photo of my site looks different there, they captured my blog in the midst of its “identity crisis”. I mentioned on Twitter some time back that I was kinda given advice/suggestions on my blog to change its “branding”, so for awhile I did that… only to realize I wasn’t happy and I liked the way things looked before, which I felt was my own style (aka this current design). So I changed it back and couldn’t be happier! Lesson learnt: stay true to yourself and your vision!

Some time back, I was nominated for Escentual.com’s Blog of the Year award – and I didn’t really mention it here on my blog as I know there is no chance of me ever winning! But then I found out that I am the Runner Up! Whoever voted for me, please make yourself known so I can thank you! I feel really blessed and thankful to God for this honor.

Also, while looking at the Escentual.com site, I found it to be quite excellent… and get this, THEY SHIP INTERNATIONALLY! They even ship liquids internationally, which I thought was not allowed? (Every time I go to the post office I always get the lady yelling at me that we cannot send out anything with liquids!) Either way, big points from me. So if you’re looking for a new beauty destination, go visit them! I’ve been reading their blog as well and they are so lovely.

Happy shopping! I for one am eyeing their perfume section like a hawk…

Hey everyone! Do you all know StyleCaster? It’s a cool fashion community and website, and they have asked me to be their Featured Expert of the Week! In their Advice section there is a “Ask An Expert, Be An Expert” sponsored by CoverGirl, and there you can ask me any beauty or style questions. I’ll be answering questions all week so if you have any, feel free to leave them for me.

I have some awesome news to share. Beauty Fool and I had a feature in TELVA, the biggest selling women’s magazine in Spain… squeal! I am under a section about beauty bloggers (in their special Beauty issue that comes with this month’s issue), and I cannot thank Patricia, the writer, enough for featuring me.
