Beauty and both ladies live in the USA. But this is not my point.  These 2 ladies were the first who became my friends among all beauty bloggers.  So I would like to say thank you to Betsy and Adina for their friendship and support. And introduce them and their blogs to my readers. I will give you 12 reasons to love them!

1. The point of every blog is to share your opinion and communicate with your readers. And I can say that this is true about Autumn Masquerade. Betsy is a very friendly person and she always answers all her readers question, shares with the latests sales and on her blog and you can always find the dates of the latest launches.  If you already read her blog I recommend you to check it out because she has new design.
