Mascara

I am dedicating this post to my mother-in-law because 1) it's her birthday this week (Happy Birthday, Mom) and 2)It was she who introduced me to Estee Lauder Mascara in the first place.

I needed some new mascara, and my mother-in-law said she recently switched to Estee Lauder. I thought I'd try it out. So, we all (Chris, Elle and I) made a pilgrimage to the mall.
We found the Estee Lauder counter and I thought I would just pick up a new tube.

hahahaha. Not so simple.

When I told the make up artist or whatever that I wanted some mascara, she clapped her hands for joy and whisked me over to a seat. She invited Elle to sit also. Chris had to stand and watch.

"We just got a new product in!!" She said. (She was v excited :)
She asked Elle if she'd like to try on some lip gloss or something (provided it was OK with us. It was).
Elle was smarter than me and firmly refused.

Then, the woman pulled out this:



I laughed out loud. I did not seriously think she would try that thing on my eyes!

Guess what? I was wrong!

I was not terribly impressed.

Needless to say, I didn't purchase it. I just got some regular boring ol' sedentary mascara.
It does no tricks. But it's nice to have some new stuff :)
