I woke up this morning, lazed around reading and cuddling with Copernicus, and then went to get a massage. My friend is studying to recertify for his therapy license, and he needs guinea pigs. I'm a willing volunteer. Two hours later, I can confirm he is ready to set up business for real!
After my massage, I drove to the Mall for a little more me-beauty time. I went to Sephora and picked up a new face powder. I was going to purchase the powder my sister has (it's from Nars), but I realized it's SPF, and I don't want an SPF powder (I already have one). For those of you who don't know, SPF will make you look like a ghost in flash photography. I ended up with a Benefit powder that I really like.
I also purchased a new Nars lip gloss crayon in New Lover
and a phenomenal new brown eyeliner from Too Faced
to complete my crazy shopping spree. I also got one of the ladies to do my makeup. They get surprisingly excited when you simply say, "Make my big eyes bigger, and bring out the green, please." and then give them carte blanche to use whatever products and colors they want. By the end, I had a trio of ladies telling me how gorgeous my eyelashes are and they were all really excited about my look. I like Sephora a lot, as I've never had a makeup artist there not listen, they generally will tell you the absolute truth ("oh, not that color after all, hmm," etc.), and they all seem so enthusiastic. As a retail manager, I'm pretty good at spotting fake enthusiasm, and these people love what they do.
After the makeover, I went to my favorite nail place and settled in for a splurgy pedicure. It was nice to sit and be pampered.
What a great day!
(Berck, are you bored yet?).
