I did this a while back too.
First I was going to be a 'model'.
Then I was going to get a 'makeover'.
When I showed up- it was me and another ladie, and there were about 10 ladies in the 'audience'.
Then we two were 'informed' that we would be doing our own 'makeover'.
I went through all the motions, got 'oohed and ahhhed' at by the 'audience', had them total up my products, went into the restroom to wash my face, and came out to find that my total was about $150. For GOOP!!!
Liquid makeup!
I now use mineral makeup (Bare Escentuals) and LOVE IT!! It does seem to be kind of expensive in thought- but my $25 foundation purchase will last me for about 9 months to a year or more.
Good luck, and be strong!!
