So it dawned on me that I didn't mention that I had a makeover last Friday. Carl had to go to Bloomington for a meeting, and I decided to tag along so I could visit The Treadle quilt shop. Since they didn't open until 10, I decided to check out the Bloomington mall. Pretty cool, they have more anchor stores than the one here in Springfield. Anyway, I ended up at Merle Norman because they had a sign saying they were doing facials for $40. I'd never had a facial and it sounded like fun, so I signed up.
For some reason while I was sitting there waiting for my facial to start, I got the wild idea to have my brows waxed. Now, it's been awhile since I took part in such nonsense, I'm totally NOT a girl. However, I thought it would be a nice surprise for Carl. OW! However, the woman who went in front of me should have really given me a clue...she was having her whole face waxed I think! I mean, when she got up, her whole FACE was red (but totally devoid of hair, I'll give her that!). I've seen steaks at Schnucks that didn't look that raw...
After the waxing, the facial started. I was exfoliated, steamed, extracted, massaged, manipulated, stoned (hot stones on my eyelids...at least, I think they were stones), moisturized, anti-wrinkled, poked, and then steamed some more. And the pinnacle of my insanity came along when I decided to have my makeup done. Ay yi yi. Who knew there were so many little jars and pots of things you have to use on your face? I ended up getting some eyeshadow and lipsticks, and got the heck out of there. Carl was pleasantly surprised, I think.
Then Saturday my mom and I happened to be at Heil, and I got loaded up on foundation and blush and lip liner and all kinds of junk. I still have a problem putting on eyeliner. I think I'll have to get used to it. Anyway, I wish I had before/after pics because I think the biggest difference is in my eyebrows.
