When I was in the US last year (yes, I know, I'm still talking about my
US trip, but ... one trip in 3 years, it's a big deal!) I was reunited
with my bestie, Marianne. Marianne and I met in Doha, Qatar about 7
years ago, when both our husbands were working there and we went along
for the ride. Qatar was a difficult place for women what with it being
a Middle Eastern country and not being able to find work easily.
Marianne and I bonded over books, coffee, shopping and church. At least
once a week, we would go shopping together and that was an adventure in
itself because just getting groceries was many trips to many stores
just to get basics since inventory control was so awful over there. To
digress, maybe I'll post some of my old blogs from our time there. Any
interest?

Anyway,
long story short, Marianne and her husband both moved to the same city
where Steve's parents live (for that we are most grateful) and we were
able to hang out again. We got together 5 or 6 times in the short while
that we were there (goes to show how special they are) and on one of
those days, Steve took us shopping. Actually, he came with us, we had
lunch together, then he went off to find a good spot for wifi and
hunkered down. In the meantime, we went to town at the big Macy's store
downtown. We hit the Nars counter, the Chanel counter and the Mac
counter and did some damage.

There's something to be said about going beauty and makeup shopping
with your bestest girlfriend / shopping buddy. We had such a fun time
trying on stuff.
I talk about this in my
Chanel
haul video,
but I had always wanted to
try Chanel and since Marianne was with me, I dragged her along to try
everything with me. We both got makeovers and spent a couple of hours
at the counter. Fortunately, it was a Tuesday and not very busy, so it
worked out great. We had a blast.

I
got my face completely done with foundations that I wanted to try and
seriously, Chanel foundations are amazing. If you haven't tried them
yet, head over to a Chanel counter and try some out. You won't be sorry
... though I have to say, the price is a bit ouchie! That's why I
waited till we got to the US before I got any. The prices in the US
were half what they are in Australia. At the time, the exchange rate
was pretty good, so I still saved a lot of money. The exchange rate now
is not as good, so it is costing more.
Here's what I bought from the Chanel shopping day with
Marianne from my haul video.
Do you love Chanel makeup? Have you tried any? Let me know. I'm curious
and I want to know.
