Day 28: Friendship and Makeup

My friend Lupita and I in my kitchen at one of my annual Teacher Christmas Parties.

I have loved makeup since my high school days at Saint Mary’s Hall.

I may have worn a uniform and saddle oxfords every school day for 4 years, but I usually had on Maybelline demi false eyelashes too.

I learned to master cake eyeliner and to this day, there is nothing better.


During trips to Fred’s Pharmacy in Falfurrias as a teenager,  I was mesmerized by the Revlon display.



Now jump ahead from that time in my life to November of around 1985.



It is a memory etched on my heart.


I am literally squealing in the faculty parking lot with my dear friend Lupita Ramirez.


Why?


We were oohing and aahing over the Borghese Christmas Eye Shadow Collection.



I lost that dear friend in August of this year to breast cancer.

  

So in looking to re-create that moment in 1985, because I miss my friend, I have been looking at every eye shadow palette I can find. 

This makes perfect sense to me.
