We were both about to offer a polite decline of whatever they were selling, when it hit me! I need to throw all my make-up away after the transplant since it's full of bacteria! So in about 5 seconds I went from totally uninterested to fully immersed in their presentation; I was basically the ideal customer :). The make-up is mineral-based and fairly high-quality, and they were offering one of those crazy good deals that Estee Lauder, Clinique, etc. have at Macy's all the time where you buy one item and get 10 times as many for free as part of a "gift set." This gift set happened to include all the items I need to replace, so it was perfect. I felt like it was just one more way that God was encouraging me before the transplant. Yes, it's true; God can encourage you through make-up.
This is awesome, I love the Blog! I did think it was a bit out of character of you to be so excited about make-up lol! but I totally pictured your face of a child who never received a gift (as Zack described it). God is teaching you appreciate so many new things about life including make-up. I'll stay tuned for more Blogs. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteGlad your purchase was an uplifting experience, but unless you're looking to get *really* encouraged, I'd suggest avoiding infomercials for a while. ;)
ReplyDeleteCompletely empathize with the make-up splurge. I have to make a pitch for Bare Minerals though, since you mentioned "mineral-based and fairly high-quality" make-up. They really do keep it natural.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've had a worthwhile experience. God does indeed introduce many interesting things into our lives throughout our lives. :)
Julia, do you mean Bare Escentuals? If so, I love them and have some of their stuff :).
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Infomercials are definitely off-limits right now.
