Have you heard about The Beauty Ideal? If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. Luckily, I’m that someone…

The Beauty Ideal is a monthly online magazine, courtesy of the Beauty Blog Network. Each issue is created and edited by a new Beauty Editor, with featured writers from the BBN – to bring you the latest in beauty news, products and information in the beauty world.

For March, the lovely Marina (from Makeup Loves Me) plays Beauty Editor – and she asked me to contribute. Check out my article, Double Duty Beauty.

And congrats to Marina and Elke (The Beauty Ideal’s Editor in Chief) on a fabulous issue!
