Hi guys!
I went for my second hair trial last Saturday, and I also did a Makeup Trial. I attached a bunch of pictures.
I might want to tweak some things still, but I was much happier with the service I received. They tweaked things while I was there, and seemed very interested in changing things to make me happy. And they just seemed more professional/ together. So, I gave them my deposit!
I think the "bump" may be a bit too much for me (a little too snooki maybe?), but also... volume is good, especially for shorties like me, so I'm a bit torn. And maybe the headpiece should be a bit closer to my forehead/ not quite as far back? As for makeup, I'm wondering if a slightly less peachy pink/ more neutral lip/ cheeks would be better, and if maybe she should use dark brown eyeliner instead of black? (the ceremony starts at 11:30, reception ends at 5:00.) But, on the whole, I think things looked better.
ps- hair extensions didn't end up working out, but that's okay. Also, my face was totally broken out, and it seems like that was covered up pretty well. The makeup artist was like "honey, you need to moisturize and exfoliate! And you should wax your eyebrows twice before the event so the eyeshadow lays better"
So I've started using my Neutragena moisturizer again, and I even bought some "peel pads" from the salon to gently exfoliate. FI's cousin told me she got facials every 5 weeks for 5 months before her wedding. So, I booked my first facial as well as an eyebrow wax with the salon. I feel a bit like they hook, line, and sinked me into spending more money but... oh well. I should be taking better care of my skin, for sure. I also bought some eye cream. Just burt's bee's sensitive eye cream (for like, $14), but I figure that's good enough to start with.
pps- that's FI in the mirror reflection. Isn't he cute?
