My name is Gemma, and I’m the owner of Gemma Etc, where I write all the blog posts myself.
I originally started Gemma Etc. back in December 2012, where the blog was originally named Miss Makeup Magpie. I rebranded my blog from Miss Makeup Magpie to Gemma Etc. in April 2017, as I wanted to share more varied content, and felt a little limited by having the word “makeup” within my blog name.
I have been a beauty obsessive for as long as possible, and even worked in a beauty store way before starting my own beauty website.
I have been a beauty writer for 12 years now, and I’ve reviewed thousands of beauty products over those twelve years, from affordable drugstore beauty products to the most luxurious higher-end beauty products.
I love trying new makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrance products, and sharing my honest thoughts on those products.
When I’m not testing new products, I love trying out all of the lastest beauty hacks, which I enjoy sharing here on Gemma Etc. As well as writing on Gemma Etc, I have also written for other beauty publications online, too, like LuxPlus Magazine and Beauty Chamber.
Gemma Etc. has been shortlisted for both a Cosmopolitan Blog Award and a Johnson & Johnson Journalism Award, and I really hope you enjoy reading my helpful beauty content I share with you.
