Say it to my face, please

I don’t like gossip, internet trolls or people who are quick to talk about you behind your back. Who does, right? They would never have the courage to say the insult to your face but they can’t wait to share it with another.

Two times people have told me that I wear too much make-up (that I know of) but it was not to my fully made-up (apparently, clown-faced) face! It was information relayed by a third party. The go-between did not say it maliciously to me; just relaying what they perhaps considered benign information. Frankly, I think the people who said it originally would do well to wear some make-up. Beauty products are a huge industry for a reason.

Several times someone has said that someone else said they wouldn’t trust me around their husband? Why? Because I am single? I am single for a reason. I want to be. The response from the coy third party was, “Well, you are attractive and/or funny and/or smart.” Oh, really. Thank you for the compliment wrapped in an insult like a corndog. Newsflash: I don’t want your husband(s). Heck, you don’t even want him. Why would I?

Recently, a third party told me someone was mad at me. Again, not meant to be malicious but relaying information. This is a person who I am well aware is mad at me and it is mutual. I tell people to their face how I feel and they never hear from me again. Only a coward goes behind someone’s back or hides behind a keyboard and attacks another person. Say it to my face or cork it, zip it, button it, cool it, plug it, close it, clamp it, or put a sock in it with your big, fat foot that also belongs in your big, fat, malicious mouth! Anyone else have this happen to them? Let me know. Oh, and if any companies are looking for a “mature” woman (I use that word loosely) to promote their make-up line, I am always up for a paid sponsorship! Until next time, keep calm and keep it to yourself! xo

Say it to my day time make-up face. Or say it to my night out one!

Finally…..a make-up review!

It is getting busy down here at the blog command center and I couldn’t be more excited!  The folks at Studio Gear cosmetics sent me a product to try and I have to tell you about it. It is their CC Cream which does three things; it colors, it covers and it corrects. We women understand this language. And that is pretty cool because when I first got it, I thought it was only a moisturizer. So the first thing I do when I get a new cosmetic is: I try it out on my hand. Don’t we all? Truth be told, I am a bit nervous about trying new things on my face. Not that I have had any bad experiences. Well, that’s not true but that is a story for another day.  And it had nothing to do with a particular product but the person applying it.  Stay tuned…

Anyway, my CC cream arrives in my mailbox and I am excited.  This cream is decadent.  I swab it all over my left hand and when I look down at both hands, voila:  My left hand looks younger (how is that possible?) and has an even tone.  So I go to the bathroom and I do one half of my face.  I know this is weird but it’s a test!  How can I recommend something if I don’t really put it through the ropes?  Anyway, it works!  It cleared up ruddiness that I didn’t even know I had!  In the background I hear “We all knew you had ruddiness.”  Ah, parenting a pre-teen!  Eating a big slice of humble pie on a daily basis!  Maybe that is why I am ruddy?  Humble pie cannot be good for the skin. Well, we all know, no one wants to be ruddy.  And this cream will help you achieve that goal.

I highly recommend that you check out www.studiogearcosmetics.com and start shopping.  And by reading my blog, you can save 10% on your entire purchase.  I am now officially a Studio Gear beauty blogger (among other fabulous roles)!  How cool is that?  And that means we (you and me) will get firsthand information on new products and promotions.   The first thing you should try is the CC cream but there are plenty of other products.  Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.   I have my eye on the complete lip color in burlesque or café au lait.  Go take a look and tell me which one you think I should choose!  When you make a purchase, put MARYM14 in the promotional code!  Happy shopping!

 

My experiment:  the upside: easy to tell which hand has CC cream; the downside:  I have no future as a hand model.
