So today was a big day for me, meeting a local gurl and getting her help at Dillard's. We planned that I would get a color anaylsis/consultation done to get started with my make up (for those that don't know I am color blind).
I showed up 5 minutes late thanks to road construction and waited for about 40 mins. Keep in mind the whole time I was nervous, anxious, basically scared as all get out. Finally I said well I'm here....no guts no glory so I went to the Dior counter and said to the friendly looking SA I would like to see about getting a color analysis done please? She was caught a little off guard but said "ok I can help you with that. What are you looking for?" I somehow mangaged to get out "I am interested in wearing women's make up and clothing." She looked a little surprised then said "I have a brother who does too". I felt sooooooooo relieved. But it gets better. She could tell I was nervous and I said is this ok or will your customers feel bad about it? She said let me "grab a basket and I will take you to our spa." She proceeded to get me all glamed up over an hour and a half and it was fabulous! She was so kind and supportive and very encouraging. I received a chart with her notes and directions on what to do etc. As she put it" I want you to feel pampered". Words here cannot desribe how good I felt and still do. I made sure to tell her it's important in life to do good for others and she did something above and beyond today and how grateful I was. This was not just someone making a sale. She really is a special person who was helping me on my journey.
I purchased lip gloss, foundation and concealer to start...next week I go back for some eyeliner etc.
Seeing myself in the mirror...wow. Just the sensations alone...and the fragrances. An amazing day....
