My makeup bag typically consists of 5 products and my routine typically takes about 5 minutes. Fancy event? add about an extra 10 minutes.
So when I have to go to an extra fancy event like this indian wedding weekend in Texas a few weeks ago, I've lately been indulging myself to a makeup and hair session. To me, they are so worth the time and effort and I get about 2 hours to relax, sip a glass of wine, and indulge in uninterrupted instagram browsing, text chatting with my bff's, or just read a magazine. Blowout bars and now makeup bars are popping up everywhere so that everybody can get that glam look! Here, makeup and hair cost about $100 including tax & tip and products for each session.

The brows, the contouring, the flawless skin? Thank you ryan! My other half was seriously rolling his eyes at the amount of selfies I was taking during the night. LOL. I don't care - how often does mama get to treat herself to a made up face?!

Also want to give props to the 2 girls at the
in south lake who did curling iron magic on my tresses in literally 10 minutes. No lie - that's a record. And I have a thick head of hair. Thanks ladies!
