I had a little free time, a coupon to Ulta and the best of intentions, so I set out to purchase everything needed to make me a new me. I didn't play with it last night, because I was out running errands until suppertime, and who wants to wash their face and re-apply makeup shortly before time to cleanse the face for the night? Certainly not me. So I saved all of my play time until today.
This morning I had to take Mom to the doctor at 8, so I just put on my regular (almost nothing) face and went about the day until about noon. Then it was time for the New Me! Well, 42 dollars and 45 minutes of contouring and buffing later, following all of Wayne's very simple instructions, I looked nothing like the lovely Mandy in the video. Instead of looking refreshed and revitalized I found myself looking a tad more like this.
I considered my options and came up with the following choices:
1. I need a lot more practice and a lighter hand/different plan.
2. I should just give up on it all together and look gross all the time.
3. I should cease all spending, live a Spartan existence and save every penny for a really good plastic surgeon.
4. Accept the fact that I am not a kid anymore and be happy for the opportunity to sit at the grown up's table.
Right this minute I am leaning heavily toward option number 1.
Now I have to run wash this
Mimi!! lolz
ReplyDeleteI live by the philosophy of Bruno Mars....."If you're freaky, then own it!" ;-)
I have to own it is so many other ways, I would at least like to look kinda sorta normal. I always told Son3 I am not weird, just delightfully odd, and it is a huge difference.
DeleteI have no idea how to apply makeup. That was the one thing that was deficient in all of the good things my mother taught me. Now, I feel like I have too many wrinkles for makeup to get lost in, so I I've moved onto other things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the picture of Mimi. I miss the Drew Carey show.
My Mom wore no makeup but I had a bunch of friends who taught me how to wear it. Unfortunately I have blonde short eyelashes and without something on them I have Little Orphan Annie Eyes, so I wear a touch of something every time I leave the house. It keeps me from scaring dogs and small children .
DeleteI know a few people who look like Mimi all the time! Lol
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I never wear makeup. When I was younger--teenager and in my early twenties and I would wear makeup out on a date, etc. I always felt like a fraud. Unfortunately my daughter will have to learn from someone else if she wants to wear makeup b/c I have no idea what I am doing.
If she wants to wear it she will learn! The Mimi look is just not great!
