Wow! I had such an amazing and incredible day! Woke up and really felt there was no way I could possibly go through with my makeover. My wife firmly kept saying that I was going and that I would be fine. I was like OMG!!!! But started to get ready and texted Lisa about what the plan was and warned her I was a total basket case. She told me to go get a drink and that I'd be fine. So I went and got a glass of coconut water vodka (YUM!) and sat in the tub at 9am. I started calming down. Got dressed in my outfit, a cute sweater and denim jeggings. Lisa later commented that my outfit was perfect. Lisa got to the house and my wife came out to say hi. Lisa said afterwards we're going to do lunch right? Oh boy looks like we are making a day of it. As a side note someone asked if I should postpone to go with my wife. My wife is incredibly accepting and originally was suppose to be going with me but she had a commitment at our son's school. And her best friend, Lisa, loves make-up (apparently she is a VIB Rogue member) and has been having a lot going on. So my wife knew that Lisa would have a blast and she thought it would be good for the both of us.
When we got to Sephora I was really horribly nervous so Lisa took over. We found my make-up artist (it actually turns out she was the supervisor for all the make-up artists). All I can say is she was so incredible, I quickly got comfortable and explained I wanted an everyday look and then to go full on vamp. She took so much time explaining everything and when I thought something didn't work she would change it up. Other make-up artists kept coming up to see what see was doing and would comment how good I looked. Lisa could not get over how well I looked and would give me tips on what things I should get and what I could get cheaper and would be just as good. Even the customers, including the guys, really seemed to not have an issue. But I will say there was a mother whose daughter was getting a mini-makeover was snickering and giving dirty looks. Lisa saw her too and said if the woman said or did anything she was going to step in. Frankly, at that point I was so comfortable and in such a good place it didn't bother me.
So the appointment was suppose to be 45 mins., almost 2 and a half hours later we finished up. Really blew my mind how time flew. I spent a fortune by the way and just had an incredible day. The unfortunate thing was it took so long that we needed to rush home. I thank Lisa and we were both disappointed that it couldn't go on but I now have a coupon for a free makeover that I have to use in 90 days and we are planning to do it again with maybe pedicures for both of us. Got home and got to show my wife. She was amazed and kept saying "I can't believe how good you look!" We talked about the day and I'd showed her the haul. She was really happy for me and called Lisa to thank her. If any of you are thinking about doing it go for it.
