When Allure Magazine debuted in 1991, it felt like a gift from the God's. In the talented hands of it's longtime Editor-in-Chief Linda Wells, Beauty now had its own glossy; no longer just the lonely step-sister, banished to page 205 in the Fashion Magazines.
I was of course, in heaven subscribed for well over 10 years. Each month I looked forward to it's arrival and pored over their editorial picks. Then Beauty Blogs arrived on the scene...
The first Beauty Blog I discovered was Beauty Addict, written by the product obsessed Kristen Kelly. Readers like me, were equally obsessed with Kristen and somewhere along the way her lipstick flame fanned out. She was one of the best and an early inspiration to me. I still miss her blog.
