I’d love to interview you for Etailers Mall.

If you have a bath, body, candle, cosmetic, or jewelry business, or if you make bath and body products, candles, makeup, or jewelry, I would love to interview you!
If you’d like to leave a comment, or email me at etailersmall at yahoo.com, and let me know that you are interested in doing an interview, and I will email you a set of interview questions that is tailored to your business.
If you are running short on time, you can just answer these questions, and email them to me, and I will post the interview - I will need a way to contact you in case I have any further questions.

OK, now that I’m not in shock, here’s some more about the house.
The house has an apartment in the basement, so we are going to rent that out, and make a little money from it hopefully!
Eventually we are going to try to buy another house, in the country, and move to it, and rent this house out.
We’ll see.
I’m excited - but it’s a big step.
Homeowners and landlords all at one time!
We actually already have a few people that are interested in the apartment, so hopefully that will work out. I think I’m more nervous about being a landlord, than actually buying the house.

Ok - I have to admit it - I haven’t used Loreal Voluminious Mascara in several years, but when I did it was my favorite mascara!
I wore gas permeable contact lenses, or hard contact lenses, on a regular basis from the time I was 15 until I was 27. I still wear them occassionally, but I’m mostly a glasses girl now.
When I was wearing contacts my eyes were so sensitive that I had trouble finding the perfect mascara.
Since I have light brown and blonde eyelashes, I NEED mascara!
I tried almost every drugstore mascara known to man, including Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, Cover Girl Marathon Mascara, Cover Girl Remarkable Washable Waterproof Mascara, and tons of Clinique and Estee Lauder mascaras that I “borrowed” from my mom but with each one I’d end up with tears streaming down my reddened face because the mascara would flake off into my eyes and irritate my contacts .
Voluminous is the first mascara that I found that actually allowed me to wear mascara all day long, without any flaking or irritation.
I did end up with the occassional smudge here and there, but I think that’s more to my oily skin than anything else, because I haven’t found any mascara that doesn’t smear at all.
In addition to the lack of flaking, Loreal Voluminous gave me thick, dark lashes, without a lot of clumping!
I rate this one a 9 out of 10!

I read about The Great Mascara Hunt that’s happening over at Blogdorf Goodman, and I knew I had to participate!
I’m going to start out by cheating - and link to the Maybelline Lash Discovery Review that I wrote in March.
I haven’t been to the beach yet, so I can’t update you on how it wears in the water…I’m working on it though
I still like this mascara, and I give it an 8 out of 1o rating - this is a break from my usual rating system, so if you’ve been checking out the reviews at the website, and noticed me saying that I love something, but only giving it 5 stars - it’s because over there I rate everything on a 0-5 scale!
PS, thanks to Katie at Scentzilla for The Great Mascara Hunt graphic!

I’m Sarah, and I am a beauty junkie!
Whether I’m looking for more info on hair care, or searching for the best new beauty tips and products, I love beauty!
In fact, I love it so much that I created my own website Mystical Beauty, to help share my love for beauty with you.
I love bath and body products and candles, and I have a passion for helping small business owners succeed, so I created another website, Etailers Mall, to provide free advertising for small business owners that make and sell bath and body products, candles, cosmetics, and jewelry!
How do I manage to do all of this? Well, I am lucky enough to have found a great telecommuting position, so I don’t have to worry about travelling back and forth to work every day.
I also have a wonderful husband who supports me, even when I come up with a really crazy scheme!
Thanks for stopping by!
Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions !
You can also reach me at mystical.beauty on yahoo email or IM.
If you have AIM I’m Moonlightmysts.
Just tell me you’re from Mystical Beauty if I ignore you, and I’ll respond!
Sarah

I just filled out the sales and use tax form saying that I closed my White Lily Candles business.
I am so happy, I can’t stop smiling!
:-)
Finally, it is over!
