Went to the Clinique counter at our local Macy's with a friend who'd never been. I wanted the full consultation done - skin care & the whole nine yards on the makeup. My goal was to learn what kind I needed and how to apply it for my wedding (& also for every day). The lady who did my consult was very nice, very good, and gave wonderful easy to remember/follow instructions on how to apply. Since she liked me so much I spent so much money, she gave me samples of the skin care part of things to use while on my honeymoon, a sample of the blush, and a wonderfully nice tote bag (it wasn't even gift time). I spent about $240 (ouch!) but I needed everything (and I still skipped the tinted sunscreen, heavier concealer, the mascara, and the makeup remover cleanser cream).
I got 2 different eyeshadows, their creamy eyeshadow base, eyeliner, moisturizer, exfoliating lotion, gentle facial soap, foundation, (I've never had foundation so perfect before!!), compact powder, 2 shades of blush, 2 lipsticks, & a lip liner.

Earlier this afternoon, our cat Maya almost gave me a heart attack when I saw her in my swivel rocker:

The first second I saw her, the thought that ran through my mind was "OMG, is she dead?!", then I saw her chest moving and realized she was just sleeping. She likes sleeping in my chair, but we've never seen her sleeping in that particular position before.
