If she says I should buy something..I want it. I have to have it in my life. If I already use that type of product (wash off fake tan, getting my eyebrows threaded) then I think I must be amazing cos I'm already doing something that Sali recommends)
So far I've been encouraged to buy
1. Facial refreshening spritzer (for those long hot days pounding the streets of New York with my make up melting off my face!)
2. Tinted moisturiser (makes you look like you’re effortlessly wearing no makeup when secretly you are GUFFAW)
3. Batiste dry shampoo (festival MUST have!)
4. Rimmel liquid eyeliner (an oldie but a goodie!)
5. LIPSTICK.
Lipstick was her most recent one and she basically said she should never leave the house without it. I've recently been trying to make lipstick my “thing” anyways; A few months ago for Glastonbury, I went to MAC and bought an orange lipstick. As a novice with dry lips. This was a bold move and I spent most of the festival asking people if my lips looked ok and worried that I'd got it all over my face. Then a few weeks ago I brought a bright pinky purple one that would apparently make my teeth look whiter. I've been alternating these 2 lippies on the weekends and it’s basically a lot of hard work. I'm constantly worried that it’s caked or some off on part of the lip but not others. Have I smudged it? how will I eat this baguette?
But the 2 colours were not suitable for work really. or daytime wear. Plus I don’t think I could handle that sort of pressure at work anyways.
But then Sali told me…NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT IT so I rushed out and used my No.7 £5 off vouchers at boots to buy a lipstick and the lipliner she also recommended I buy. She says to put on a nude lipliner first and then put on the lipstick without a brush. So I do. at work.
I now have to keep a mirror on my desk and the worry really hasn’t subsided after a week. I'm hoping I'll get used to it all but really it’s such a hassle. I can't put it on til I get to work cos then I can't kiss Dan goodbye. If I got to a meeting I have to keep my hands away from my mouth in case I rub my hand across my mouth and smudge it. I actually did this the other day and I had to spend the entire meeting looking down in case I looked like a psycho killer. There was an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air once where Will treated this girl really badly so she took him to a cabin in the woods and tied him up and pretended to be a psycho to get back at him and in one bit she puts her lipstick on while grinning manically and rubs it all over her face and she goes “do I look pretty?” in a crazy voice. That might be one of my favourite episodes ever. Maybe I'll watch it later on you tube if I can find it.
Anyways, I have visions of looking like that.
Its such a shame that Sali told me I have to wear lipstick every day as I'm now in for a lifetime of discomfort BUT I HAVE TO DO IT COS SHE SAID.
She's also really pretty and welsh by the way. And once she replied to me on twitter. It was only one word, but WHAT a word! “blush”. I cherish that day.
