  1. Thanks for sharing!!! I like to read these type of posts.

    How come you don’t wear Bobbi Brown foundation?

  2. Sorry, I meant to finish the last sentence saying that I would love to see how you look in that foundation (only if you already have it.) Warm Almond seems like it would be a perfect match.

  3. Hey Erin,

    I haven’t worn BB in years. I have NO idea why I don’t wear it anymore. LOL! I need to go by the BB counter soon, I’m almost out of MUFE.

  5. Hello, Jen I think your name is? I just wanted to know what a basic weekly regimine you had when your hair was starting out. I have hair that is the exact type as yours, and I would like some pointers on how to get mine growing as long as yours. Thanks.
