For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with beauty products. I think it all started with my grandma who would take me to every beauty store and counter when I was a little girl to try everything (and I mean everything). We would get as many samples as we could, and would put on every cream and body lotion we could get our hands on. Though my taste in products has definitely changed as I have begun to develop my own routines, the obsession is still very much alive.
This blog, in fact, was born out of my obsession for beauty products. The idea for starting Preptista first came to mind at dinner with family friends. I was talking to one of my “aunts” about the newest addition to my lipgloss collection – a MAC cremesheen gloss in the prettiest light pink – with the same amount of passion and excitement someone else might have used to describe their experience of running their first marathon. (But hey, that’s just me.) As I was going on and on, she stopped me in my tracks and said “you should start a blog or something about this.” A couple months later, Preptista was born and the rest is pretty much history.
To this day, my list of products I want to try is longer than I can keep track of and it’s almost impossible for me to turn down any sample or free product. What can I say? I’m a product junkie.
When I became a Glossier rep earlier this year, I was so excited because I take a lot of pride in my skin and haircare and Glossier products were already on rotation in my skincare routine. But, this was an excuse to try even more!
I get asked constantly about the products I use in my various beauty routines and, while I try to keep you all up to date on my instagram stories, it’s hard to give everything in detail. So, I’m declaring this week as beauty week here on Preptista and I’m going to take you through all my various routines and share the products on the top of my “to try” list. I’m so excited!
First up tomorrow? SKINCARE! Stay tuned…
