A couple of weeks ago I posted about a friend letting me pay back a bet by going out dressed. Well, yesterday was the day. WHAT A DAY ! ! !
I didn't make my goal in the number of stores I wanted to visit because I had too much fun where I went. There were three major highlights.
Manicure-As I normally do I had fake nails painted by a favorite nail tech. However, I also had agreed to visit another salon. That tech told me she could do even better so she gave me a set of acrylics for the same price as a buff and polish. Now I'll nver put on fake nails again. It's acrylics or better. I love them. The only problem is that they are normally pretty expensive for one days use.
Make up-After going to a salon I'd been to before for a makeup application I went to MAC in Macys to purchase some lipstick I like. Jamie asked if she could do my eyes again. OMG did she do a good job. She showed me what she was doing and explained how she was making my blue eyes pop out. It really did look much better with her help. No more salons for me. It's MAC every time.
Dress Barn- They were so helpful and friendly. I tried on 3 separate outfits, two with suggestions from their staff and one I liked. One of the outfits they chose for me was a black sweater dress, with white with pattern silk sleeves and collar. I loved it so much I bought it for myself. I'm not sure if it was the three mirrors I looked at myself in but the dress even made me look slimmer.
The rest of the day was great too, including trying on shoes for almost an hour at DSW, buying items at ULTA and getting lunch at Wendys. But, not as much fun as the rest of the day. Wow, it was fabulous. I hope the rest of you either have experienced something like this or will soon.
