    Post Makeover

    Well, it really wasn't a makeover, but I did have my makeup professionally done for the first time in forever. I remember when I was 13 or 14, my mom and I went to the mall and had it done at May D&F (1957 -- May acquired The Daniels & Fischer Stores Company in Denver and renamed all its Denver stores May D&F). W and I had been invited to a video shoot for University of Tulsa's business school for a hush-hush promotional video.

    I was excited. I looked great! The makeup artist airbrushed foundation on my to smooth out my freckles (I have a lot of them). My favorite part was my eyes.

    Then I got home last night and the only thing I had to remove makeup is Seabreeze astringent. It took four cotton pads to clean my face. ICK.

    Today I am back to my no makeup look. I am sort of disappointed. I have plans to go to Ulta and buy some makeup - my friends have been touting some wondrous new stuff - Bare Essentials.

    I've been thinking of doing this too. I needed makeup for Halloween, and realized all I had was from my wedding in 96!

    I'll be curious to know how you like the Bare Essentials stuff.

    MMPS, Builder Mama and I all went for the Bare Essentuals stuff at Sephora when we had lunch late last year. 2 of the 3 of us love it, BM had some issues with it not liking her skin. I love the coverage and that you can go really light or a little heavier. Definitely spring for the primer though.
