I Make You Up

Hello, and welcome to my blog!
First of all, thank you for stopping by :) My name is Aleksandra Waibel, born and raised in beautiful city of Wroclaw, located in  Poland. (English is my second language, so on the start I am apologizing for all grammar mistakes - I'll do my best :) ). Moved to USA 7 years ago, with head full of ideas, and dreams which with  every day I am slowly realizing. I have a husband named Andy, and 5 furry kids ( 2 dogs, and 3 cats ). I am a crazy animal lover, I'll pick any stray from the street! As much as I love animals, I love Make-Up. I've been a Make-Up geek for over a decade now. Even earlier in my childhood, my favorite activity was going through my moms cosmetic bag. My first serious gig, was a wedding Make-Up application for my friend wedding (I was 14 years old when I did it! ). Then I've worked at the local burlesque, mostly with males. I loved to put Make-Up on this guys! see how slowly they transforming in to beautiful woman's! After I moved to USA, I stated working at the Christian Dior Make-Up counter. with in about a year, I became a manager - and I hated it. No creativity, just pushing products!. It was all about numbers, and I didn't feel like pulling them. I just wanted to sell my talent, not $200 cream I really didn't believe in - so I quit :) and I became a freelancer. I don't want to make this first post, super long and boring, so to make long story short; with in 4 years of doing whatever I am doing on my own, I am super excited and happy with the place I am right now :) I still climb my ladder, and with every day, every photoshoot and wedding, I am still learning and I still want to get better. I decided to start this blog because; I believe that all of us have  right to know all make-Up tricks, and things that allow us to feel beautiful. I will try to share all my knowledge, and whatever I've learned so far,  so that any of you will be able to use them on daily basis. I will review my favorite products, looks, brands that I had a chance to try  for many years, on endless photo shoots or movie sets. I tell you what is worth to spend over $50, and what doesn't. Of course, this is only my personal opinion! I will gladly answer any question, so go ahead and shoot me an email.

Till next time! :)
