While I’m Away: Merle Norman Summer 2011 Color Collection

Wowee! I’m so excited about this brand! I remember my mom going to Merle Norman and getting a make up lesson while my sister and I watched in complete fascination. I guess this is how beauty junkies are created.

Anyway…Merle Norman is celebrating 80 years of beauty. They’ve given a modern twist to their image and brought out some great new products just in time for Summer…
