Not successful

Nerd Girl asked if I was able to get some eyebrows last week at MAC. Funny story about what happened...

Last Saturday MrC and I went to a children's consignment sale. It was pretty cool, we found some stuff at great prices that we were able to take off our registry. After leaving there we headed to Macy's to go talk to the MAC ladies. There were 2 working when I got there. One had on a super short and tight dress and I could see the control top portion of her tights. I decided she was not the person to help me because clearly she lacked good judgment. The lady I wanted to help me was helping somebody else, but she told me to sit down and she'd be with me in a minute. While I was waiting a third employee came in and she looked a straight fool with her makeup and I pleaded "please, Jesus, not her." She didn't see me and went to help somebody else and the lady I was waiting for asked if Miss2Tight2Short could help me because she was taking longer than she thought. I told her I wanted an everyday lip and eyebrow because I don't wear much makeup. She said alright, and went and got some stuff. She started on my eyebrow with a pencil and was explaining what to do. Y'all, when I looked at the finish product I looked a mother effing fool. First off, her technique was terrible, I had two distinctly different eyebrows and her fake nail poked me in the eye twice. I was looking at her wondering if she was even looking at me. I saw one of her coworkers look at me like "what the heck is happening????" But I didn't say anything because the last time I was at a MAC counter MrC ended up walking away because I embarrassed him (the dude was SO rude. So I told him so. This was back in November, I blame the new pregnancy hormones. I told my mom and sister that they weren't allowed to purchase anything and that we had to leave because his customer service was unacceptable. They went back without me a few hours later and said the dude was so polite and he was shaking as he started helping them. My bad dude, my angry voice is serious. I don't use it often. I didn't curse or anything I just said "you don't think you're being rude? Well you are. blah blah blah", no need for any more details, lol) So anyway, I didn't want this situation to turn into another embarrassing my husband episode and I knew if I started talking, I wouldn't be rational. She did give me a nice neutral lip, so I bought the lip gloss and left. By the time we got to the car I was sobbing. How ridiculous  she made me look, plus something MrC said, plus hormones (I'm shifting blame on everybody) sent me into a tail spin. MrC spent five minutes with a tissue making my brows look like they belonged on the same face and trying to calm me down. When I told my mom later what happened she said "you don't remember a few years ago when we went to that MAC and they did your sister's makeup? I thought we swore off that location, those girls are circus artists." Then I remembered the blue eye shadow fiasco. 

So no, Nerd Girl, I still don't have pretty brow fill in techniques. I have also sworn off any MAC counters in department stores. I've had lovely make up help in the stand alone stores and not one good time in a department store. Lesson learned.
