Last weekend I jetted off for my annual IU girls weekend. 19 years have come and gone, and we are still going strong! We had the best time, talking, laughing, eating and shopping! And what girls weekend would be complete without a makeover? I was at Nordstroms and a sweet girl who works with Smashbox Cosmetics, wooed me over to her chair to give me the full glamorized treatment. What do you think?
I was way impressed by her master skills to erase my dark circles, find eyelashes I never knew existed, and to convince me to try Teal liquid eyeliner! I would have loved to purchase everything, but I’m a budget girl, so I walked out of there with two great items:
Love! Love! {Photo Op Under Eye Brightner}
I was crazy about this color that I would never have tried::{Lip Gloss in Radiant}
I did not pick up the Teal eyeliner, but it did open my eyes to playing a bit more with color as I get older. I am putting many of the items she used on my wish list including their Photo Finish Anti-Aging Primer and some of their very cool brushes.
So, have you ever had a makeover? Did you like the end result or feel obligated to buy it all? I highly recommend doing this at least once! My favorite time to do it is when you are going to be shopping all day. That way, every time you walk by a mirror you catch your reflection and wonder, “Who is that person?” Instead of, “Oh my word, this lighting makes me look so bad!”
Have a great Wednesday, and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m linking up with Lindsey for What I Wore Wednesday over at The Pleated Poppy!

And the winner of DVD#5 from What’s In The Bible is….. Carey from Cravings! Congratulations!
I LOVE the lips! What fun! {And good job on self-control in not buying everything!}
The color is amazing! I would NEVER have picked it, but love it! Trying new things is good, right?
You look great! A ,akeover is so much fun. It’s been a while so maybe I need to stop by the mall for one soon. Although, self control and makeup is not my strength. I usually want to buy everything.
Thanks for the comment on my blog too. Love my CAbi top. It is so light, fun to wear and right on trend! Have you worn yours yet, I’ll look around your blog and see if I can find it.
Yes – I actually wore it on my girls weekend….just no pictures! Thanks so much for stopping by!
You looked very glamorous! And what a great idea, to get a makeover before you do your shopping, so you can admire yourself the rest of the time you’re out and about and add to the enjoyment of trying on clothes.
I would love to have a getaway weekend with old friends. Only problem is that none of my old friends are friends with each other.
Well, I think that means you get 2 weekends – one with each of your friends!
And yes – a makeover before shopping is the best! Because the lighting at the mall is the WORST!
So nice to meet you Jeanine!
I’ve actually had makeovers at Nordstrom done at several of their counters – it’s such a treat (but always hard not to spend much on the products afterward!). You look great!
Thanks Cate! I always learn something new when I watch and listen!
You look so pretty. Glad you had a fab weekend with the girls. Love the makeover. You can get teal eyeliner (liquid and pencil in herbal formulas) at Sally’s Beauty Supply for 99 cents. I get all of my exploratory colors that way (you know so I don’t spend a lot if I end up not liking it). Enjoy.
What a great tip! I need a ton of practice with the liquid eyeliner! Thanks Daenel!
so pretty friend!
ahhh, thanks girl!
You are so beautiful. Inside and out!
I have actually never worn make-up…and I’m ok with that! 🙂
Sounds divine! I love color! Such fun you are.
