It's always good to go with someone a friend has used or can honestly recommend. I wish I had just listened to my friend in the first place, because I ended up at the same salon that she used.<br /><br />Good luck with whoever you go with - I hope that you get what you want, with the right results at a reasonable price!StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990131434281226939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-74000670461111398372013-02-25T19:39:48.040-08:002013-02-25T19:39:48.040-08:00I just found your hilarious post while searching f...I just found your hilarious post while searching for reviews of this MobileMakeovers.ca artist. I briefly considered booking her (swayed by Alexandra Colella's cheap prices) then I looked at her before/after shots and noticed how extremely photoshopped the after ones are... a few of them made me laugh out loud. I guess you get what you pay for!!<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to write this, you're awesome. This was a good reminder for me to always look for reviews from multiple sources, when booking anything online! I've heard of lots of other sites, like tripadvisor or yelp doing this same sort of sketchy shit.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874953000338654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-5911563082441469282012-11-20T12:03:57.103-08:002012-11-20T12:03:57.103-08:00@Leauxra - hahahah, yes I have seen that movie.

I kept trying to get photos of signs and kept missing, so I took a self-portrait.<br /><br />Those next two are exactly the problem. Waxen whore, I am.<br /><br />I was happy with the wedding day make-up. We had lots of photos and I wanted to look put together for 'em. I don't normally wear foundation or that level of eye/cheek/face make-up.<br /><br />I know, mixed reviews are key. I love it when the merchant replies, because you can also tell a LOT by how diplomatic they are. I'm just pissed that WeddingWire.com seemed legit... but only if the seller doesn't balk at the review.

There's a story that goes along with that involving a 78 LeMans, the best game of 10 pin bowling of my life, and, well, no need to go into that here.<br /><br />Reviews. That's what I came here to talk about. On line reviews of products or services. I take them with a huge grain of salt. Enormous. I expect to see mixed reviews with both good and bad stuff. No product or service is completely perfect for any consumer. That's fine. As long as it's good for what I want. A string of perfect reviews is a tip off that somebody is gaming the system. I like the ones where you can read the original review (warts and all), and a response. Those can tell you a lot, since sometimes the consumer is in fact an unreasonable jerk trying to play the merchant. Sometimes there is a genuine misunderstanding. Some vendors demonstrate what they did to try to make it right. <br /><br />Life is complex, and reviews should reflect that.<br /><br />Now, back to makeup, briefly. Those shots of you in your blog header look fine. The one of you in the car is great. I'm dying to know the joke. Or what was out the window. The next two just look artificial. The wedding one is ok, I guess. But I'm a fan of no makeup. There are too many girls who are trying to imitate Barbie, and their faces look plastic and unreal. It's gross. I like to see a face with some milage on it, some wrinkles to let me know if they smile or frown. A bit of mobility to demonstrate personality. Freckles are cute. Piano key teeth make me nervous. Sweaty after a workout is hawt.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-26317372322923504482012-11-19T17:33:29.760-08:002012-11-19T17:33:29.760-08:00@Carmen - It's too hard to find legit reviews ...@Carmen - It's too hard to find legit reviews these days. Best thing is word of mouth for stuff. But when you are new to a city, that makes it super tough.<br /><br />And thanks. :) I wish I could claim ownership, but it's more due to my mom & dad's DNA and Ashley's make-up skillz.StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990131434281226939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-2527297423628574792012-11-19T16:11:07.381-08:002012-11-19T16:11:07.381-08:00Seriously?
