    FINE! FINE! I haven’t given birth yet so this post title is a pretty far fetched analogy.  BUT every mother that has shared their birthing experience has told me “it was the worse pain I’ve ever felt in my whole life”. Well, WAXING was the worse pain “I’ve ever felt in my whole life” (thus far).

    This is something I learned while I was getting my hair done for my wedding. It’s great for anyone who feels that they have bald spots around their face like I do!

    Sometimes, I love meeting certain brides!  I meet them and instantly I want to be their friend. HAHA. That’s how it was with Miss J!  We laughed because she was going to a BBQ after her trial, and she looked really fancy.

    Some shots of the trial!

    “Are you tired? How much did you sleep? You have really big circles under your eyes.”

    YES I KNOW, THANK YOU. I’ve been battling with dark circles under my eyes since the 7th grade. I was so annoyed at those kinds of comments I wanted to plaster the words “YES I KNOW I LOOK TIRED” or “I SLEPT 10 HOURS” or “THANKS FOR DISSING MY BAD COVERUP JOB” under my eyeballs.

    I’ve tried yellow, orange, green, red and transparent types of coverage. I know they all have their purpose, but really– I just think everyone is different. You really just have to go around and find the correct pigment for your under eye circles.

    My current favorite right now is the Stila concealer pots.

    HOWEVER!! I found out recently that they are DISCONTINUED!!!!!!!!! My reaction to the Sephora rep?

    “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Luckily, he sympathized with me.

    Don’t you hate it when your absolute favorite product gets discontinued??? Just like Elaine on Seinfeld when her sponge gets discontinued… =)

    However, my current Stila concealer replacement has been doing pretty well.  I use two different shades; the lighter one for directly under my eyes, and the darker shade to blend in around the edges. (A18 and A77)

    I love how it’s light and covers really well without looking cakey. Also it has SPF in it! Woohoo!

    One day I decided to walk into Bloomingdales for probably the 2nd time in my entire life, and I was snagged by a Christian Dior rep who did a fantastic job of convincing me to get a makeover.  She kept saying that they were giving away a GREAT free gift with a makeover.  I’ve never tried anything from Christian Dior, except for their famous Black Out mascara which I do love, so I thought–sure why not?

    The makeup lady who was really polite and let me take this clip of her explaining the foundation/powder product she was using. I actually ended up buying them both because it didn’t seem too heavy and as she explained it– it seemed good for my skin! I never thought foundation could ever be GOOD for you, but apparently they are making them that way now with sunblock and etc.
