The shopping excursion

This past weekend I did some shopping.  It had been a long time since I went out with the intent to purchase things.  With spring coming soon (hopefully) and some major sales over the holiday weekend, I wanted to treat myself.

I did quiet a bit of purchasing and most of it was on sale.  Overall, a successful weekend.

I desperately needed to replace my favorite pair of plain black leather pumps.  Shockingly, I am super picky about what they look like and there is nothing that is just a plain leather.  I found these peep toe mary jane's with the help of the sales girl.  I wasn't sold on them at first, but now I love them.  A little change of pace (and less boring) than a standard pump.

Also, I made a few make up purchases over the weekend.  The only items that were not on sale (unfortunately).  I've been dying to try out the new "hot pink" lip.  What do you think?

The woman in MAC said I had beautiful skin (what a nice compliment) and asked what I used.  I laughed and told her that I had nothing on - because I was wearing very little makeup.  And she laughed at me and said, "no, I know you aren't wearing anything now, but what do you use on your face?  Like lotion, soap..."

Guess it was that obvious that I was wearing very little makeup.  Does anyone else feel awkward in a make up store with a practically naked face?
