Shopping Day

Today is Statehood Day (50 years ago Hawaii became part of the United States) and that means no work! I went shopping with my mom and she bought me a shirt from Forever 21 and sandals for work from Famous Footwear. I bought my first Mac products from Macy's.

I researched and had planned to buy the Mac Studio Finish concealer thingy today but I got suckered into buying a "skinfinish" power as well.

First of all, I have just recently started to buy makeup and learn how to use them properly. In college I would just dust on blush, slick on some lip gloss and call myself ready to face the day. Then, this summer I got into watching makeup videos on Youtube and playing with makeup looked really fun, so I bought a bunch of drugstore makeup to experiment with. Anyway, before today, I have never owned or used a Mac product because they always seemed too expensive. However, I really needed a good concealer so I went on Youtube to do my research.

Today, I went to the Mac counter in Macy's and asked the sales girl to please help me find a concealer that will match my skin tone. She sat me down and put on the concealer. Then, she sprayed, buffed and patted on a few more products and said a bunch of makeup mumbo jumbo that I didn't really understand. She gave me a mirror, and I had to admit that the end result was really good. I was still adamant about just purchasing the concealer though. She said I at least need to buy the powder to set it because if I just have the concealer on by itself it would "slide off my face after a few hours." So I bought it because I am that easy. I am a sales person's dream--it doesn't take a lot to convince me to buy something.

A good day overall.
