Today is the day my cleaning person comes to my condo, so I need to disappear for a few hours to let her work. I went and got lunch at my favorite place and had great eggs. Then I headed to Borders and noticed I was getting really jumpy and just felt off. I did not see anything I liked so I headed to the mall. It was pouring rain and I figured even if I did not feel like shopping I could at least walk around. So I did just that. I was really disappointed by Sephora since they had a fraction of the philosophy stuff I was interested in. Then I remembered that Nordstrom at a Philosophy counter and went in there to look around. The girl working was really nice, but they were really more of a makeup counter and did not have the 3-1 body wash/shampoo stuff I like. Then I wandered around and ran into my favorite makeup artist in the world.
I met her nearly 5 years ago when she worked at the Stila counter at Nordstrom. She was always super sweet and never pushed me to buy anything. Plus she gave me so many free samples and was just really cool. She has done my makeup for about every big event for years. Well, this past summer, Stila was sold and the new owners pulled them out of Nordstrom and I lost track of her.
It turns out she is now working at the Laura Mercier counter. I never really knew there product and we played with some of it today. I liked their foundation and some of the lip stuff, but their eye shadows and mascara I was not impressed with. Plus all of it is crazy expensive. Anyway, the reason she is so cool is she is honest and told me what I would like and then what other counters had stuff I would like. We had a lot of fun for about an hour and I bought some Lancome mascara and some foundation and got a bunch of cool samples to try. I was very excited to catch up with her again.
Now for the strange part. When we were done I got up to pay and was standing at the register talking to her when the room totally started spinning. My head was going crazy and I got crazy nauseous. I went back and sat down and she got me a cold drink. It took like 15 minutes for me to feel better. I managed to drive home and now I am sitting in bed. I am feeling really lightheaded and think I am just going to be laying here for a little bit.
I really hope this passes, this is my last free weekend for a long time. We have tournaments the next 4 consecutive weekends.
