Nice to “meet” you…

Date posted: March 12, 2012 | By: Dawn

Gosh! So here I am getting to talk about all of my favorite things in the world!

Since the idea of BeautyFrosting was born, my feet haven’t touched the ground, I’ve been so excited!

I wake up eager to try new products, meet new people, find new lines, and write enthusiastically about my precious finds on here.
It has been one of the best experiences of my life, thus far.

So, where to start?

Well, probably you want to know a little about who this BeautyFrosting is.

 

I’m Dawn McCoy, a Dallas-born belle, living in Los Angeles, who has had a lifelong love affair with beauty, baking and people.

As the saying goes, I have never met a stranger. I have found that if you show up to a party, where you don’t know a soul, armed with a peachy lip gloss, a peach cobbler and a smile, you don’t stay friendless for long. Even in Los Angeles. Especially in Los Angeles.

I tried being “cool”, for about 6 months (all I could muster), when I moved to Los Angeles in 2000. Everyone I met seemed SOOOO cool. I wasn’t. So I tried to be a little aloof, toned down my “Dawnness” and well, all it left me feeling was a little lonely.

Fast forward to March 2001 when I was invited to a party, took my purse filled with my wallet (same vintage silver holder I carry today), fave lip gloss (Chanel in Spark)and camera (this was pre-iPhone, peeps) and….a homebaked peach cobbler.

It was a hit! And, as a major bonus, I made new friends. I swapped numbers (this was pre-Facebook, too) over lip gloss suggestions and buttery bites of peaches.

I learned that being my cheesy, friendly, real self was way better than trying to be some shadow of a cool, aloof, inauthentic chick.

So, now you’re wondering, why should I listen to any beauty advice this girl has to offer?

Because I’m honest, know beauty as a buyer, seller and artist, am always hungry for new products and, most of all, I want you to find the best beauty and skincare recipes that work for you, like I have.

My greatest hope is that BeautyFrosting will be your “BF” (best friend) in beauty. So when you’re looking for answers to your burning beauty questions and want to know about which new products to try, you have a place to call home.

I’m lucky in that I get to try lots of products, thanks to my line of work, which is good, because I use lots and like lots! But I have learned that not everything is loved by, nor right for, everybody.

By trying various products every day, I have learned what works for me, my clients, friends, and, now through this medium, I have a way to share my finds, with you.

So come on into my beauty kitchen, grab a tall glass of water or wine, and let’s see if we can’t find the perfect beauty recipe for you.
