Weak in the presence of beauty

thanks to the Now Pavillion magazine launch, I had a total make over at Sephora in JC Penny. I have to admit, I was very nervous about the whole thing, because I am not much of a make up person. In fact, a lot of times when I make my self up I look like Steve Martin (a wild & crazy gal, a la The Jerk) loud, brash & obnoxious. My usualy beauty routine in the morning is wash my face, toner, moisturizer and the only make up I wear consistently is blush, eye shadow and Burt's Bees lipstick. There's quite a bit of carnage in the make up bag: failed colors that don't look good on me, eyeliner that punctures my skin (I don't want tattooed eyes),

At Sephora, I got the full treatment. Even though I am in my 40's, there was a lot of product they used on me that I had never heard of, let alone used. For example: primer. Never even knew it existed (actually that's a lie, I had read about it in Vogue) let alone used it. Now, I can't exist without it.
