Oh my stars it's time for a Mary Kay party!!

Ah tonight was the infamous and somewhat annual to semi-annual Mary Kay party. This is me trying to convey how lost I feel when it comes to choosing colors and the art of applying makeup properly so as to accentuate your best features and minimize your worst ones. Kelly looks trepidatious but really she knows what she's doing. Me, I missed the class on how to properly apply makeup and which colors I'm supposed to choose. I thought I had yellow undertones until tonight when I'm told I have pink undertones... which is okay with me cause as much as I hate to admit it... I love pink. So, Mary Kay. The girliest of girls brings to your world for a not-too-shabby price the ability to pamper yourself to no end while laughing your head off for no particular reason. It is the time when you jump out of your world of hard work and trials and do nothing but talk about makeup and skincare. It's the ultimate girl time. So refreshing. :)
So, as the evening wore on, we tried different products named things like "Satin Lips" and "Miracle Set". At one time Alison asked, "Why is it called Miracle???" Well that is because they used holy water to create it of course. For $104 your skin can be HEALED! (You have to imagine Robert Tilton saying that). Of course the evening would certainly not be complete without trying on the most hideously bright and wrong lipstick you could imagine. We thought about visiting the street corner afterwards but decided against it. And not really understanding what color looked right on me of course I tried like 15 different shades and couldn't choose one because I don't know whether I look like I didn't put any on or whether I'm walking around unknowingly looking like a woman of the night. That's what it's so good to have girlfriends. Those who will decidedly look at you and say without fear, "Girl that color is SO wrong for you." True friends I tell you. I've come to understand that the mark of a true girlfriend is not one that will tell you when your behavior is wrong but one who will tell you when your lipstick is wrong. Hah not really but it helps to know when your lipstick is all wrong too.
Well what a great night it was. It was one of those nights when absolutely everything was funny and you go home with an achey side cause you laughed so hard. We (appropriately) watched the season finale of Beauty and the Geek and were so very wrapped up in who would win that you'd think they were people we knew. We decided that the geekiest guy was definitely the cutest and we all wanted to give him a hug because he was so honest and had such a funny sense of humor. Then as we were preparing to go home the fire alarm went off. We thought it went off because we're so hot (hahahaha! that was so funny) but it was actually the fault of misbehaving candle smoke. How is it that a smoke alarm going off is so funny? Well let me tell you. You take 5 girls who have had a long few weeks, mix it with some skincare, throw in a little makeup, watch a crazy stupid reality show, and realize that every other person's laughter is absolutely infectious and there you have it. Girls are so fab. And not only did I leave tonight with a refreshed heart and full of laughter, but with a free gift of the cutest little makeup brushes in the cutest tiniest little black and pink pouch with a little pink bow in the cutest little pink sachet bag you ever did see!! I LOVE YOU MARY KAY!!!!!!!!!
And just in case anyone is wondering and I say this not only in defense of myself but also Kelly and Anna... that picture is of the HIDEOUSLY WRONG LIPSTICK. :)
