Look Good Feel Better Class tomorrow night

[CurlyBrunette]

Tomorrow night I am going to a LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER class that the American Cancer Society holds for patients going through chemo. They teach you how to use makeup to conceal and the proper way to wear makeup to help you LOOK GOOD and FEEL BETTER when you are looking like crappola basically. I hope I can learn some new tips at this class and I will be sure to share them here with all of you. I am excited over the fact that we get a big bag of free cosmetics too! I hear that they are very good cosmetics also and not just CVS or drug store brands. Not that they are not good or anything but its a treat for me to buy expensive make-up so to get a bag full of Estee Lauder or Clinique would be the BOMB! I'll report back later with my adventures with make-up!:whoohoo:

[Stephanie]

Oh, MAN! How much fun are you gonna have?! :lafhard: I'd have a ball! Please report back. :happy:

[snowbear]

That sounds like a blast! Have fun!

[CurlyBrunette]

I'll definitely report back! Only a few more hours to go!

[katkero]

Have fun and give us a report afterwards. I want to hear all about it.

[walkinglady]

That sounds like so much fun! Hope your nite was great and I'm looking forward to hearing about it!

I promised to write about the LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER class that I attended last night so here it is. There were about 12-14 women there and we all had to say a little something about ourselves which was somewhat emotional for me but I got through it. Most of the ladies there were older than me making me the youngest one there. One of the ladies there was actually a patient of my DH's when she was in the hospital a few months ago. When I did my intoduction she was shocked when I mentioned that my DH was an oncology nurse upstairs. I guess it is ironic that he is an oncology nurse and I get cancer. After the intros we started talking about headcoverings and different ways to wear them (which I already am extremely good at I must say) but I paid attention like a good student would. There was a lady there that went over all the different types of wigs out there and how to care for them. I didnt wear my wig last night due to the fact it was raining cats and dogs and I didnt want to damage it because its a human hair wig and getting the lace top wet can cause the hair to loosen up and fall out. Then it was onto the good bag filled with all kinds of cosmetics. There were lipsticks from Origins, Aveda, & Oil Of Olay. Cleansers from Eucerin and toner from AVON with the matching cream, Estee Lauder blush, mascara and liquid shadow, Aveda Blush, Merle Norman eye color, liners and brow pencils, Channel foundation, Clinique sunblock moisturizer and concealer, A big bottle of body cream, q-tips, and a few other things I cant remember. They went step by step on how to apply (which I think I am pretty good at) and the instructor was a Mary Kay rep and I used to do that so I know the whole presentation already. I did learn a few things about what color I am. According to the MK lady I am a "Cool" which means I look good in blues, pinks, etc. I wear lots of pink because its my favorite color. Overall it was a good time had by all and I was so happy to see some ladies 6 months post chemo with their heads covered in thick curly hair. I cant wait for that to be me one day soon.

I wrote that entry in my journal a few nights ago, sorry I am being lazy right now due to being so itchy from this rash I am experiencing. I am glad that the bag was a mix of different make-ups because then I can be able to sample different brands without spending lots of money to do it. I know already that I do like Clinique and the Channel Foundation. There are others that I didnt like either but I am going to be trying them a few more times before I make my final decision.

I also feel more confident with my false eyelashes which I didnt before. I see the difference it makes wearing them as opposed to not and looking lashless.

I am really glad you had a good time. I used to do a makeup training course for young girls just starting to wear makeup - not quite the same but they did really have fun.

It can make a real difference to your confidence if you feel like you know what you are doing.

It sounds like you had a fun night!!!! And got a goody bag too. I rarely wear makeup but have noticed that I feel more confident with a little on.

[ShanaMaidela]

Sounds like a fun night and goodies to boot! I got a Clinique eyeshadow once from a friend and I thought it was really nice. Although, I can't say it was much different than Revlon. I'm sure though, the foundations are what you would notice the quality difference in.

[snowbear]

It sounds like you had a great night, and got lots of free, fun stuff!

[CurlyBrunette]

My Mom keeps asking me if there is anything that I dont want! She is hysterical:lol:

[kittcatt]

How fun! Doing girly stuff is always fun.

[Hairstorm]

I'm glad you had a good time! :)

[bowie]

That's really nice that they do that sort of thing for people.

[Jennifer]

Glad you have a good time CB! I was wondering how it went. :happy: Been thinking about you lots.

[Kitty]

Sounds like you had a really good time! Especially with all the free goodies. I love clinique stuff too. I always try to buy stuff when they have a free gift with purchase!!

[SunCat]

Sounds like you had a great time. I also believe when you look better you feel better. What a wonderful thing for those cosmetic companies to do.
