Check yo SELF!

Yay...the June issue is out and we got a shout out! Courtney, who is a rockin' writer for several publications up in NYC called me a while back to talk shop about "Blemish Control".

We have collaborated over a few articles for several magazines and I warned her...you CANNOT get me to shut up about make up PERIOD!

It can be about a product, an artist, a book, tips, technique, what's new, what's tried and true...I warned her-I was truly a MAD Make Up Woman. We laugh about how I got into business saying I did it to justify my habit (only joking!), but seriously...I love being interviewed and I love to write.

It's funny how these things happen...I found it interesting

(the process) so I thought I would share...

They set up a phone interview (which for me lasts about 20-30 minutes-yes, I am a time hog)..so after we conference call, they then send a list of questions for their article. You answer to the best of your knowledge...then about a week goes by and one of the Editors (usually the ONE in chief) calls you to say she will be emailing you direct quotes to fact check. Then the fact checker confirms what you have said about the relevant topic. It is always a roll of the dice to see what actually makes it to print. You can chat for an hour, answer 50 questions, and have one blip on the page...it is a big deal to have anything quoted and a blessing to have your name and business plugged. I am a lucky gal, I get the fun part of running my mouth about what I love to do...they have the hard part of compiling all the information (which is why Courtney rocks...she has a huge spread in the middle of the mag)!

Soooo, check us out in this months issue of SELF.

I confirmed 4 fact checks, but have only found one...I feel like Where's Waldo, so if you can find more... holla back!

Last year about the time of my diagnoses Moore Make Up was in 3 magazines at the same time and I swear I don't even remember buying them. Not that I wasn't over the flippin' moon, but I was in a serious FOG! This year, I am in a place where I can be excited and celebrate!

Yay, for Courtney and for SELF...thank you for asking, writing, and putting OUT! We love your magazine and we love that you thought enough of us to get our 411!
