Where it all started

It started long ago, with a customizable website for makeup called Reflect.com

For me, it was great, if something didn't work you sent it back, got it re-worked and a new mixture sent out to you. You could name your stuff anything you liked (how I got some of the names by the filter I'll never know...) and choose whatever colors/scents/effects you wanted.

It's the only place I got some awesome gothy black shimmery frosted lipstick that looks great! It was an old club fav of mine. They continued to have some great sales, discounts, coupon offers which is really what helped make it affordable for me at the time. I think it closed in 2002/2003? I'd have to look again at my old documents to verify that.












You'll also note in the above picture some other brands like Tony & Tina glitter and some Afterthoughts glittery eye shadow as well. Some Avon eye liners or glitter eye shadow as well as lipstick or concealer pot with non-name brand brush.

THEN came my introduction to Smashbox (a $500 splurge by my Husband) which quickly grew:

















Granted NOT the best storage method I could find, but w/o going out to buy something it is an ok fit for now.
