About Me

Welcome to my blog! My name is Erika and I'm the crazy blonde behind Lovely Dalliances.

I work full time and review beauty products in my spare time. I met my husband through mutual friends and we have been together for over 12 years. He is really supportive of my crazy little hobby and knows any trip to the store with me will always involve a trip down the beauty section.



We have an 8 year old little man who always keeps our life interesting and funny and is just the cutest guy ever.

I have always been obsessed with pretty things, specifically hair and makeup products. I think from the time my mom let me buy my first lip gloss, I was hooked. As I got older I realized that beauty was a passion for me and something I'm always interested in. I am the one who gets calls from my girlfriends about certain products or how to get a certain look. I am the friend that does the makeup for my friends weddings or my cousin's homecomings and I get great joy out of it. I just really love beauty and the transformative effects it has.

I love finding affordable beauty products and always feel like I've won when I find something at the drugstore that is a really high quality item. I honestly believe that you don't have to spend a ton of money to get quality beauty products.

I want this to be a place where people can read about a product before they buy it and get a real, honest review. I want the things I review to be easily accesible to my readers and things that are within most people's beauty budgets.

I kept hearing this nagging voice in my head saying I should put all of this interest and information I have into one place...thus, the blog was born. This truly is my baby and something I am incredibly proud of!
