Yesterday I had an appointment at a salon for makeup. She applied the usual foundation, lipstick, lip gloss, eye shadow, eye liner, powder, etc. Then she styled my wig. I have never seen it look so nice. I have never felt more feminine. I then left the salon and visited a store for plus size women. It was across from Lane Bryant, but had fashions for younger women. (I had talked to the manager earlier to be sure it would be OK to try some things on.) I tried on a dress, but didn't like it. Then I tried on these knit pants -- almost leggings, but pants -- and a cute top. I liked the way they fit, but didn't have enough money with me to buy them. I think I'll go back and buy them tomorrow.
The makeup and hairstyle cost me $50! I hadn't realized that she would do such an extensive job on the wig, so I was shocked when she told me how much it would be. I had asked how much makeup would be when I first went by the salon a few weeks ago, and she told me $25, but I hadn't counted on paying for the wig styling. All other salons do not charge for that, but, then again, they do not do all that she did.
I guess it was worth it, but I can't afford it very often. I also messed up on the appointment time. I arrived at 1:30 and was told my appointment time was 2:30. So I had to kill an hour, which gave me less time to shop. I was going to go next door to the nail salon for polish, but I was way behind schedule so I decided not to do that.
All in all, a wonderful couple of hours.
