Sometimes you just want something new.

Yesterday was that kind of day.

Yesterday, I felt like I'd reached my limit.

I was frustrated

fed up

annoyed

and overall, completely unsympathetic.

Not only that

but my filter was

shut

off.

I said things

and almost immediately thought

"where did that come from?"

and

"did I say that out loud?"

So after work

I headed out to MAC.

I used to buy MAC cosmetics all the time

but it's been awhile.

I remembered why I love that store.

The sales people.

One lovely sales girl completely overwhelmed me with explanations and opportunities

new colours and lines coming out next week!

make overs!

Viva Glam!

I couldn't repeat anything she told me because it was all too much

but I loved her -

she had a baby face and a pink mohawk.

How could you not?

Oh and the other sales person called me sweetheart half a dozen times

which made me feel like a young'un.

I loved her.

I wanted a new lip colour.

One thing I love about MAC is their recycling program -

you take in 6 used containers and get a free lipstick, gloss or shadow.

It's a great deal.

I have oodles of old containers so I took some in and got this:

Plumful

$14.50

I was also drawn to the new lipgloss:

Dress Kimono

Sheen Supreme Lip Glass

$19

I don't usually wear lipgloss

but this stuff is divine.

It smells like cake or something wonderfully sugary.

The colour is beautiful

and it makes me feel like a much nicer person.

Which I think I need these days.

Happy Friday!
