Week 2- Budgeting

            This week, we successfully accomplished doing research on different brushes and tools. We learned about the average cost based on quality and longevity. On the more expensive side, companies such as MAC, Urban Decay, or Sephora range prices from $50 to $75 for their brush kits. On the less expensive side, we can find brush kits from Target or any drug store for $15 to $30.
            We are currently working on more research for makeup such as foundation, mascara, and eyeshadow. We are planning to put together a general budget for us to spend. We do not want to spend lots of money if we do not have to, so we are doing lots of research to find the best prices for the best quality of makeup and tools.
            After our research we are planning to work on our skills. We want to be able to have good skills in order to make their day the best it can be. We will have help from our mentor Char Braden plus our own research and practice to improve our makeup skills.

     Love is Beauty

My partner, Saylor Kirschner, and I, Naomi Nicholas, are starting this blog to keep you updated on our project and our progress through it. 
    What are our goals for this project?
Our goal for our project, Love is Beauty, is to help women who have been hurt or abused in any way. We want these women to feel strong, beautiful, and loved. 1 in 3 women are victims to some sort of physical violence. Many times when women are abused, their self-esteem lowers significantly, so we want to give them makeovers and a fun-filled day. We have a mentor who will be guiding us through this project by giving us advice and tips when we need help.
     How will we measure our progress?
In order to measure our progress, we are going to be keeping up with this blog every week. The post will include information about what we did that week and what we are currently working on. We want you to know exactly what we are doing and how we are doing it.

We are very excited to begin this journey and help these women!
