At our relaunch party in June, Bonnie Boze was kind enough to donate a full makeover as one of our raffle prizes, and Angie Anglin, a busy mother of five(!) was the lucky winner.  She recently had her makeover session and here is what she had to say about her experience:

“I just celebrated my 30th birthday, so this was an awesome gift for myself! When I went in, the only thing I knew that I wanted was to get my hair chopped off. Bonnie suggested donating my hair, and I am glad that I had enough to do so.  I am a stay at home mom, so before the makeover I would just pull my hair back into a ponytail and continue on with my day. Now that it is short, my natural curl really shines, so I take some time out for myself and fix each day. I really love it!”

Bonnie did a cut and color, chemical peel, and makeup session with gloMinerals Makeup to give Angie a fresh, healthy, and easy face.

Bonnie said “I think this busy mom of five truly deserved this makeover, and I know she enjoyed her new look and felt fabulous!”

Here are the before and after pictures:

It’s amazing sometimes how making a small change in your hair, makeup or wardrobe can really lift your mood and brighten your day.
