Beverly Knowles
10/22/2014 at 1:22 PMHow I found you – hmm, that is a hard one – I think I originally “clicked” on something that send me emails about “Beautiful you” and while reading them I came across you several times with great videos and super ideas. I then decided to google you and found your website “Wake up for Makeup” and signed up for that as well. I have read all of your blogs and saved the ones that I refer back to. Since I had not been following since the beginning, I felt it my duty to read them and also ones that come in other site. Keep up the good work – it really helps see someone actually put on makeup that they are advertising.
Ivy Boyd
10/22/2014 at 3:06 PMI’m so glad that my posts are helpful to you, Beverly! If not, then what am I doing here, right?! Plus, you and Beyonce share the last name so that’s cool! Thanks for reading and entering!

Kim Parker
10/23/2014 at 10:05 AMI found your site through facebook of course. I found my love for makeup through you after one of your blogs last year. The blog that captured me was your reminder that Jake put in your phone blog, tell me about your life. That blog was amazing and heartfelt. I honestly know what it is like to do a job you love everyday. I started paying much more attention to makeup and reading, watching all your videos, tutorials and advice. Now I have 5 times as much makeup as I have ever had, I find myself wandering around in target for an hour in the 3 makeup aisles. I never stepped foot in Sephora before last year and now I hate that there isn’t one closer. I never knew that makeup could be this much fun! Thank You!
Ivy Boyd
10/23/2014 at 12:35 PMThis is like my favorite stuff to read, Kim! I am both excited for you, and apologetic at the same time if you’re buying 3x the makeup that you used to! haha. My apologies to Quentin! Thanks so much for reading though, for real <3
Ann-Charlotte Wade
