Treated myself

Cheryl, on October 1, 2019 at 6:10 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 24
I treated myself today, I went to a few different places looking at makeup. The first place I got aggravated because no one offered to help. Never even asked if I needed anything when a group of workers were standing around talking. No big deal, but had some questions. Left that place and decided I'd go to Macy's. Walked in a was instantly greeted and asked how I could be helped. I told the make up tech that I'm getting married in a little more than 5 months and I was needing help with foundation and lip colors. She set me down and we talked a bit and asked about what colors liked for lips. I tend to stay neutral/light pinks. They actually had a lipstick kit that had 3 cream lipsticks and 2 glosses. Ing got to test out them and fell in love!!! Then she matched me for my shade of foundation. HOLY CRAP what a good foundation can do. I was blown away by the coverage and how light it was. The bonus was I got a few free gifts!! A face cleaner, hydro face moisturize, night time face mask, eye serum, eyeshadow, eye liner, and mascara.
I was so excited I came home and did my make up just to see how everything looked!
** I know in a few my lipstick looks smudged, I was trying out all the colors of the lipsticks that came in the kit.*

    Thank you!!! Yes especially since they will fit into my skin care routine, and will give me a chance to see if it causes me to breakout.

    The first color looks so good with your skin tone!

    Thank you!!! There is a reddish color in there that I thought I'd never be able to pull off. But it looks really good as well. I just wish I could have gotten a better photo of that. Since I'm doing my own make-up I figured I'd get some good stuff that I'll also have for awhile.

    I'm sold on them! I'm going to go back after the holidays and get some eye shadows. The lady who helped me said that would be the perfect time because they will have their spring gifts out.

    Thank you! Me too, she was so nice and made me feel good. She even showed me a product to help reduce the pores on my nose and cheeks.

    Thank you!! I can't wait to go back and have her do my eyes, it was such a pleasant experience. I loved the fact that she was down to earth and didn't try to push things off on me that I wouldn't like or wouldn't use. I told her my likes even with everyday make up and she stuck to those. Even complemented my skin, and my lips. It was such a confidance boost that I needed. I've been feeling down on myself lately with all the stress from the wedding and other things.

    Nope not rude!! The total was 58 even, I think the foundation was 29.50 and the lipstick kit was 25. I normally wouldn't spend that on makeup, but since I'm not hiring a MUA and doing it myself I figured I would get something good.

    She sounded like an awesome assistant. I don't like when they're pushy!

    Thank you!! I need to practice more, the glue that came with them was pretty dried up so I didn't get much out of the tube. My FH has to work all weekend so between meal prep and cleaning I think I;m going to sit down and try again. I was thinking I could just use some mascara I have but the look of the lashes are growing on me.
