Not that I work out every day, but when I do, I’m that girl who works out with a full face of makeup. There I said it! Of course that doesn’t imply that I bring my A-game to the gym. It’s like a fresh face with a bit of coverage here, a dab of foundation there and perhaps a few swirls of mascara to open up my eyes. Having said that, I’ve pondered the clichés – “You will break out soon” and “Don’t you know that all this gunk is blocking all your pores?” Must I admit, they’ve (almost) made me rethink my love for vanity. Until, the most amazing thing happened to me and ‘Active Beauty Products’ became a real deal.
