I have officially hit a new low. I have been running low on makeup. You know you are in trouble when your beauty routine is comprised of a pony tail and barely any makeup. Lets be serious here....I am no supermodel. A pony tail and barely any makeup is not "adorable" on me....it is scary. I used to be a real makeup whore. I was a slave to those promotions where you spend something like $49 and get a whole bunch of freebies. My drawers were full of options. I had time to go into makeup counters and "play" with makeup. I had different "looks" depending on what I was doing. But since I have had kids the only I have time to "play" with are cars and trains. So instead of picking out new looks I have been picking lipstick out of the tube with my fingernail. It is no wonder that housewive's start to look a certain way. I was walking around downtown chicago last week with the kids and all of a sudden I realized that I looked like one of those women that I used to pity when I was a working gal!
So when a magazine arrived recently it had various tiny foundation samples stuck under sticker like things on the page. It was meant to peel away the sticker to get a sample color of the foundation. Of course I spent the next week using this as my foundation even though the range of colors on the sticker page could not have been a worse match for my skin tone. To make matters worse I then tore out the $2 coupon and took my three kids to Walgreen's where I selected the makeup in about three seconds flat. The kids were two aisles away yelling about Silly Bandz When I got into the car and applied my new $5 lipstick my daughter asked if I was going to a party. It was 10am and sadly I had no party options.....
