Why hello there!  I'm Niki, and I blog over at Glossy Blonde. First, a little about me and my blog ~ Glossy Blonde is a lifestyle blog with a focus on beauty, style and sweets.  "Glossy" because I am obsessed with lip gloss, and "Blonde" because I'm, well, blonde.  I love love love fashion and shopping, and I am a complete beauty product addict!  I also love to bake and come up with fun and unique recipes.

During the holiday season (and really, all year long), cosmetics companies come out with fabulous palettes and beauty sets.  These palettes and sets not only make great gifts, but they also allow us a chance to sample a number of different products, try new shades, travel or touch-up with ease, and even learn how to put various cosmetics or shades together to create a gorgeous look. 
Which set or palette is your favorite???
I'd like to thank Alyssa for having me today. Isn't she the sweetest person on earth?!  Love her! Anyway, stop on by Glossy Blonde sometime and say hello!  I'd love to meet you!
