Yesterday I did something I've always wanted to do. What did I do, you might ask... Sky diving? Nope. Climb Mt. Everest? Not a chance. Meet Tyra Banks? In my dreams. I got a makeover at the Clinique counter! I've always seen those girls sitting in the tall white chairs with a lady standing over them testing eye shadows and trying on different foundations, and I wonder, how does that happen? How do you get to be one of those people? Do you just go up and ask, "hey, will you do my makeup?" Well, if you're me you start by knocking over a display case.It all started when I decided I need to get out of the house. I've spent the past three days laying around the house in stretchy pants eating brownies and watching endless hours of E! There are a few movies I want to see but I'm not quite to the point where I can go see a movie by myself yet. It's coming soon though, I'm sure. So my options are pretty limited. The mall's a good place to go when you don't know what to do, plus I wanted to look at some dresses for Ruth's wedding festivities coming up next week. After trying on some not so cute but extremely overpriced dresses I began to wander through the cosmetics department at Dillard's. I saw a case for Clinique skincare and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I picked one of the cute little bags up a few more fell to the ground. Smooth. I had gotten the attention of Lou, a sales representative. She was polite, but I still felt like a loser. We started talking about the products and before you know it I was in the glorious white chair! At first she just did foundation, but then I guess she decided she liked me (aka thought she could make some money) and went on to full makeup. It was so weird. Don't get me wrong, it was really pretty and Lou is great at her job, but I normally don't wear any makeup so I kinda felt like I should be in a beauty pageant. The rest of the day I felt really self-conscious about my overly done face. But Lou and her associate Miss Dora told me it looked good and I was becoming a young lady. Ha. Ha. Ha.
a) I think its weird that you would actually let someone you don't know touch your face a lot.
b) you don't wear makeup? i'm shocked..
c) when you start to go see movies by yourself you should go see julie and julia.. its about a blogger. so basically its your life story.
did i ever tell you about that one time my mom told me to sell myself as a woman? cause it definitely involved makeup. Good post!
