(Day 38) without Cleo: a day at home

It was really nice to be home today!

I enjoyed pots of tea, a small ice cream cone,

had a phone meeting, made lunch, folded tons of laundry

(Mr Husband helped with dishes tonight!)

did laundry, talked with my Mom, helped solve

a plumbing issue (I did not have to do too much), had a lovely bath,

ate a little bit of chocolate, 

enjoyed things.

I also did a practice run of my new make up.

I think I did pretty well but well...

I am thinking the things I did not get 

(a hydrating lotion, liquid concealer)

and I bought a "setting spray" that was to help makeup last longer.

(New to me but most of this is new to me, it's been over 20 years since

I knew much about makeup)...

well, long story short, the spray sprayed more than expected

(I had to pat my face dry with a cotton round) and my face got

itchy/dry feeling within minutes.

So much so that I took it ALL off within 5 minutes.

So not good.  I am pretty sure I will be returning the spray.

But I am going to do another trial run DV on Saturday.

I KNOW it can be better, as my makeup done in the store

(much of which I bought, since I needed replacements) felt great

and not one bit dry/itchy. 

So, trivia on this sort of thing:

how many knew that stores with only make up do makeovers for those

going to an event? (outside of a wedding).  I totally did not know that.

I pretty much avoid most popular cultures and don't visit malls much.

However, it's fun to have new makeup, I admit....:)

I am excited to have the make up (which will last me some 

many years DV) for the wedding I am going to.

I am pretty sure I will be heading back to the store on Tuesday.

Well, that's it on my end.

What's it like on your end today?

I pray that Christ saves us and has mercy!
