Makeup Trial

I had my makeup trial with Brooke a few weeks ago. Brittany came with me and we had a good

time. I've been meaning to post the pictures for a while! Also, if you want to have your makeup

done by Brooke it's $75. Right now it's me, Jae's mom, Brittany, and Aina. No pressure of course, but if you change your mind (either way) let me know ASAP. She said it will be best if we stagger our hair and makeup, so maybe if Arnie went first, and then maybe Aina gets done with her hair and goes back to the hotel, then the next person, and so on.

Before I left I went to Sephora (six blocks away! love it!) and got a few things. I had been reading up on all those beauty editor picks and makeup blogs. I knew I wanted a good primer, and a setting powder to help my makeup last a long time and look nice and smooth.

First, I got a Smashbox primer.

Then I got Make Up For Ever HD powder.

The best part was I found travel sizes so I saved $30! Each are full size for $30, and you can get half the amount for $15, which was fine with me. The next thing I am hunting for is a good foundation. I have tried many over the years but I feel I'm still searching for the perfect one, you know? I also got tiny vials of Marc Jacobs Daisy and Bulgari Jasmin Noir to try out. It's between those and Chanel Chance for my special scent. I just feel like having something new-I'm such a scent-memory person. I know the perfume I'm wearing will stay with me forever.

So, this is me trying my new stuff. As you can see, my skin does look nice. But my makeup is kind of washed out and blah. Time to bring in a professional!

She did a great job, and those fake eyelashes didn't budge. Or look like tarantula legs!

I also get a MAC lipstick to keep for touch-ups, which is cool. I'm all excited now after looking at these! And, rather ironically, need to take off my makeup and dab on my face medicine.
