“Wow, you look pretty.”
It’s a
compliment I don’t often get from my 7-year-old, especially when I’m wearing
lounge-at-home clothes. But, on Saturday morning I put on extra special
make-up, including a new sample mascara I received from Influenster – ScandalEyes
Retro Glam by Rimmel.
Since the
product advertised a “wide-eye” open look, and I’ve been going on four-to-five
hours of sleep per night (deep into edits with upcoming releases), it sounded
like a good try.
Now here’s where
I disclose that I don’t really do make-up reviews. I’m a writer, and the past
is filled with analysis about books and music and concerts and movies, but
make-up? Nope. So what’s the connection?
It’s a guilty
pleasure!
Oh, yes. If I’m
feeling down there’s nothing like a new lip gloss from Sephora to make me feel
better. Nail polish? Sure. Sparkly eye shadow in funky colors? Bring it on
Urban Decay!
Seriously, when
I’m feeling tired, sometimes I pay extra special attention to what I’m wearing
and how the make-up looks (much different note than when I feel sick). On
Saturday, I had to stand before a room of close of 75+ romance writers … and
talk. I’m not the most gregarious person in the world but I serve as president
for OCC/RWA as my way of giving back – helping other writers achieve their
dreams.
Anyway, little
sleep and public speaking? Yeah, I better at least look good. So I slid into a
fav. new purple dress from New Orleans, dolled up the make-up and eyes, and
swiped on three coats of ScandalEyes. And I bet you, no one looked at me and
thought, “Wow, she looks tired!”
P.S. -- You REALLY don't want to see my before photo.
