Makeup

I've always been a little behind everyone. Almost like I need to see how they do it before I attempt it.

I've recently begun to put makeup on. Before recently ... I just didn't care ... but maybe because I'm aging (still young) I'm getting into the whole .... must hide baggy eyes and wrinkles phase. It also helped that when I started it was for my sister's wedding so I purchased just what I needed. I am still quite poor at putting on makeup but I'm getting better every time. My makeup consists of foundation, eye shadows and lipgloss. I recently added 5 more shadows, an eye liner and have been contemplating a primer and facial cleanser and moisturizer. I get all my stuff from my sister-in-law who sells Mary Kay.

I realize that many people have the facial cleanser and moisturizer first but I've NEVER had a problem with my face. It's been fine ... which leads me to ponder the idea of having a cleanser and moisturizer. I'm a little worried it'll clog pores, chap skin ... I don't know. We'll see. I also need something because with makeup and the removal of makeup my skin is feeling a little ... dry?

Anyways ... if you see me around with weird looking makeup ... just realize I'm still learning. It's also adding time to my morning routine which kind of sucks but I feel pretty good once it's on so I think it's worth it.

Next step : Getting rid of these ANNOYING white strands and getting the dandruff under control. I've been using Arbonne and it seemed okay for about 3 1/2 months, then I needed to change because it stopped working. I'm not sure if it's because the weather and my own body changed in those months but I switched to Head and Shoulders and it's keeping it .... at bay ... but it means I have to wash my hair EVERY DAY ... which makes it hard to do anything with because it's so ... smooth and shiny? Anyways ... it sucks.

Tips? .

Arbonne

My sister recently had an Arbonne party. This isn't the first Arbonne party I've been to. In fact, it's the second. This second one was about ... a lot better. I'm still skeptical.

The first time I bought Arbonne I bought the baby lotion - both my kids broke out in rashes. I didn't know how/what to do to return it. I suppose in hindsight I knew it could be returned but the consultant lived FAR away and I didn't think it would be worth the hassle. :/ Hence - it is best to support local and family when it comes to these things.

That being said, my cousin and my cousin's wife ... er ... the first cousin's sister-in-law both sell Arbonne also. So does my step-sister (ish) in-law. I feel like everyone is selling Arbonne.

Anyways - I hate pushy sales people.

Onward, so I understand believing in your product but I get really irritated when I say - my kids had a reaction and people are just bewildered about it. Obviously I must be lying. I'm not. They broke out in insane rashes. Perhaps they are allergic to the fruit inside I don't know. Whatever. I'm just stating my kids were allergic or didn't react well to the baby lotion. That is all.

I had also bought the cooling foot creme that I hardly use ... ever. But when I did use it ... it did work.

So this time I bought the shampoo/conditioner to try it on my gross, dandruffy hair. Head and Shoulders is only pissing me off. Trust me,  ya'll will know if it works because I'll be super excited that it worked!!

I am intrigued in the big RE9 set but I don't have 400$ nor the patience to wash my face that many times or do that many things to my face. Seriously, I only wash my face if I put makeup on or if I smeared food. Grossed out? Don't be, by washing your face you are stripping it of the many good things on your face. Or something much fancier. Ask the Arbonne consultant - although ... I don't think she'd suggest not washing your face.

Wait. I guess I kind of do rinse it in the shower ...

........ I should shave my legs .....

Preaching to me about how healthy Arbonne is doesn't work for one reason - everyone says it about everything - except perhaps aspartane ... and drugs ... but people on drugs think it's all fine. Although I am turned off my putting baby oil or mineral oil on anything because it's gross. It is. That is a fact. Fresh, clean ... that's nice. So we'll see what the shampoo does and I can't WAIT to try it.

I also sampled a chew that is supposed to kind of help cravings (okay seriously I would be the worst consultant in the universe for this stuff because I can't remember half the things she said) after chewing three seconds I didn't want it anymore. I was full lol. But ... it didn't really stop me from snacking ... I think the cheese dip was just that awesome!!!!! GO EPICURE DIP!!!

OMG I want more of that cheese dip. GAYLE you should bring it to Lynne's on Wednesday!!! Do it. Oh ... but it might not be good anymore. That makes me sad.

Sigh. What else.

I really dislike pushy consultants.

Gayle's consultant wasn't pushy by the way. Well ... no she wasn't. She even gave Amélie the polka dotted bag. and put up with TWO kids just yelling and spilling water all over the place. It was interesting lol.

I should do some work or something.

I don't really want to ...

What could I do?

I  hope my boss never, EVER finds my blog. I'm so serious lol.

If he's reading this. I just dated this to be posted while I'm at work to fool you. FYI. Just sayin'.
