Going for a makeover

On Wednesday I am going to a Merle Norman's in Newport News Virginia. While I have been to this one a few years ago, it has changed hands. I called, got a wonderful woman on the line and made an appointment. I expect they think I am going to show up dressed and I will. I love the business look and will be dressed in my green suit with green high heels. I have a beautiful white ruffled blouse that I am going to wear. I look like a conservative lady banker. I'm sure they won't be expecting that look!
I have used a Mary Kay rep, but she moved away. Went to a Sephora, that was a blast! Very expensive, but when they were done I looked wonderful! The makeover was free but I bought some of the cosmetics and ended up spending $200. I couldn't believe I had spent that much, but it was an experence well worth the cost.

I agree with Cindy!! That's great!!
I look forward to hearing how it went.
I love the sound of your outfit!!! You're mostly likely correct. They may not expect you to dress that way.

I'm back from Merle Norman and I'm really happy with the results! The manager treated me just like any other woman and really did a great job. We worked out some new colors for me and we went through my makeup collect and got rid of the obviously unsuitable stuff. I learned a whole lot (and I thought I knew a bunch), had a great time and she didn't sell me stuff I didn't need. Some of the new colors she used were so close to some of the stuff I had, she said don't bother with new. I really appreciated that.

I took some pictures, but they didn't turn out very well. I guess I could post them, but I don't have a site to upload to.
