About me

Who I am...
My name is Tanja, I'm 32 years old and live in Germany. I have a passion for beauty, make-up and cosmetics as well as baking, cooking and travelling. My interest in make-up started only last year when I was thinking about which make-up I could wear for my wedding. This was when it all started and after that it kind of sucked me in...

Why I started this blog...
I enjoy reading beauty blogs and watching beauty videos. I give products a try and either fall in love with them or find myself wondering what the hype was all about.
Since I'm giving certain products a go anyway, I thought why not write about it and probably provide others with (hopefully) useful information.

Why my blog is called 'Make-up Monkey'...
My husband calls me 'little monkey' as a nickname and I've gotten used to the name. Also, I like monkeys. Therefore, it was kind of staring in my face when I thought about a name for my blog.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and I'm looking forward to your comments and emails.
