About Me

Perhaps my using an entire gross of candy lipsticks in two weeks as a five-year-old child should have been an indication of things to come for my parents!  I soon became very absorbed by drawing and painting.  Colors--and the ability to mix them to create unique shades--fascinated me and still continue to do so (I use watercolors, acrylics, and oil paints in my spare time, an avocation I love).  I sold Avon products in high school and was quite successful; I continued through college until my courses and part-time jobs prohibited it.  As I grew older, several people prodded me to attend modeling school.  I did and learned much which I will never forget--from how to work with eight or more eye shadow colors and blend them into a beautiful look to mastering the catwalk with ease.  For the last fourteen years, I have reviewed and critiqued cosmetics and skin/hair/body care products online for several sites, often doing freelance pieces and creating brochures for large gatherings of women by request.  At one site, I was the "Ask the Makeup Diva" (the owner had her second baby and was overwhelmed).  USAToday named it the second best online makeup site in the country at that time.  As a job, I am blessed to be a business instructor at a private college prep academy (one of my degrees is in marketing, which also draws me to beauty products).  One of my most enjoyable ways to unwind is to experiment with beauty products, research them, and write about them.  You will also see my comments on "We Heart This" and "My Cosmetic Bag," magnificent sites.  Hope to see you there!

Hello, my name is Andrea Maccarrone and I'm writing to you on behalf of MelodySusie, one of my company's brands. Our brand provides high quality beauty products, such as nail dryers, wigs, facial care, at a very reasonable price. Our major distributor is Amazon, where our products have a good success. I was wondering if we could send you some of our products for you to review, and to post on this website your honest opinion. Thank you very much, Kind regards. Andrea Maccarrone
