It was a routine trip to the mall. At some point in the last month, my makeup bag has gone missing. Crisis. Serious crisis. Girl without makeup crisis.
Situation #1: I bare my soul to the lady at the Benefit counter at Macy's. Makeup bag! Missing! Pretty soon she's cleaning my face, slapping makeup on me, and we're swapping life stories. At the end, she turns me to the mirror and I gasp. Oh, dear lord. I've never worn that much makeup in my life, including my wedding day. Maybe my mistake was in approaching a lady with heavy eye liner and dark eyeshadow on to do my mini makeover.
I quickly tell her that it looks lovely (ummm...no) and buy my four super necessary Benefit items.
Situation #2: My favorite eye primer in the whole wide world (f. y. . . eye) has been discontinued. I may have freaked out. It has been replaced with a product called stay don't stray and I bought it, but I am decidedly not happy that the product I have preached about for so long is gone. I'll give this new primer a chance, but Benefit, you are on notice.
Situation #3: I find myself frequently wondering what the purpose of certain articles of clothing is. Is this a dress? A shirt? A tunic? It's a ridiculous length for a shirt. It's way too short for a dress. I don't get tunics anyway.
Also, those leggings in denim? Who is going to wear those? (Don't answer. I know. I teach at a high school.)
Situation #4: I find myself halfway to a fitting room with fabulous looking clothes only to set them on an endcap and walked out. The music was just way too loud for me. And, did I mention what store I was in? Ann Taylor Loft. I was not at Aeropostale or American Eagle or Forever 21 or any of the usual suspects. I was at Ann Taylor Loft.
The evidence is in. I am an old person.
[laughing]. I'm with you on the minimal makeup deal. I like tunics and leggings a lot, but that's probably cause they feel like pajamas and remind me of the '80's.

ReplyDeleteThey are called jeggings. I f*cking kid you not.
