Here's how it went down. I ran to Target, an approximately 8 minute drive from my house each way with traffic, with roughly 20 minutes total to get there & back and run in and look for the one thing I needed: A kids yoga dvd for a thing at my son's school tomorrow. So this left with me four minutes to get the dvd and decide that I needed lip gloss. I needed this lip gloss because I am addicted to lip gloss. I can't stand the feeling of dry lips and chapstick just doesn't cut it. I usually only use one browny color (mac viva glam) but I hate going to the mall. So I thought, hey with all this time on my hands, why not look for a similar shade?
Even the four year old knew better. He kept saying "why do you need that? Can't we just go home?" I just grabbed something that looked remotely close and we were on our way.
Cut to a few hours later and my lips are feeling parched. I think "ooh, I'll try that new lip gloss." It was hideous. And not moisturizing at all. I thought to myself, "how can they ACTUALLY sell this it's so bad." I considered taking it back to Target for refund.
Thankfully I didn't. Because 2 hours later I realized it was concealer.
Don't feel too bad happens to all of us. I accidently washed my hair with shaving gel this past Monday am. By the way, I particularly enjoy your entries regarding working out or the gym. That gym is a virtual potpourri of material; from the trainers you see hanging out with their clients at the Martini bar @ 9pm to the individual gabbing on a cellphone while "working out" on the treadmill. - Ryan
ReplyDeleteOK, that just made me laugh so loud. I once, in a sleep-deprived, new motherhood haze, returned a whole set of towels to the manufacturer, b/c they did not hold up past a couple of washings. When the towels were returned to me, they came with a note that the company would happily have refunded my money, had they manufactured the towels.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had a trainer check his email while TEACHING a class.
I am about to wet my pants I'm laughing so hard.
ReplyDeletetoday I was at a business lunch and applied a nice BRIGHT red lipstick before my companion arrived. 1/2 through lunch she informed me that with the help of my napkin, I wiped the lipstick of my lips and onto my cheeks where it sat while I went on about credentials.
This is why I love this blog. I AM NOT AN AN-I-MAL. And I am not alone :)
ReplyDeleteThe extra hilarious/ridiculous part of the story that I left out because it was too much detail is that I LINED MY LIPS FIRST with the side that I thought was the lip liner. Turns out it's a "brightener." I seriously looked like I'd just had a mud popsicle.
sooo funny!!! Thank you I needed that laugh!! I can always count on you for that.
