The Highlight of My Day

Remember, I'm blogging about real life here folks.  Most of the time it's pretty boring and the highlight of my day is nothing special to most folks - but to me, it was glorious to cross it off my never ending mental to-do list.  I finally cleaned out my makeup bag.  In case you missed it, cleaning out my makeup bag is my highlight of the day.  I took everything out, wiped it all down, and threw away things that should have been thrown away a loooooong time ago.  I literally cringe at the thought of what I am about to tell you but I threw away my eyeshadow that I wore to prom - in 2004. Gross, I know.  But I promised real blogging so there it is as disgusting as it may be.  I even threw away my makeup bag and organized it all nice and neat into another bag that I have had for years. 

Here are the super embarrassing before pictures.  It wouldn't even close because it was so full - mostly with things that were too big to be in there anyway. 

 

I'm a Merle Norman kind of girl.  As you can see in the pictures I have experimented with Mary Kay but it doesn't give me the coverage that I get with Merle Norman.  I am not picky about any other products other than my base and powder.  If it's pretty and shiny, chances are I will give it a try! :) 

 

So that was the highlight of my day.  It felt really great to sit down for a few minutes and do something for myself, as small as it may be.
