Free stuff

So I have already complained a lot on this blog about the wedding industry. One thing that I won't complain about? The free things that vendors want to give you because you are a bride. Who doesn't like free stuff?

On Sunday Mary Kay had a bridal makeover event at a local hotel. My best friend (and maid of honor) was a Mary Kay rep a few years ago so I decided to go. She still uses the products, but simply decided that she didn't want to put the time and effort into selling the brand anymore.

While it kind of feels like listening to a time share presentation, the Mary Kay reps weren't too bad. As you guys already know, I am not very girly so I don't have much of a skin care regimen. For a while now, I have been thinking that I need to do more for my skin. I will be 30 in a month- it is high time I start taking care of my skin. Since all of the skin care products were inexpensive, I drank the Mary Kay kool-aid.

So this morning I started my new skin care regimen. The 3-in-1 daily cleanser, moisturizer, day & night cream, etc. Here's hoping that I start to see results- if not, there is a money-back guarantee!

Do any of you wear Mary Kay products? What do you think of them?


Sidenote: The saddest thing I heard at the Mary Kay event? One of the brides saying that she was contemplating BOTOX because she was unhappy with the frown lines she has on her forehead. She looked all of about 25. Now THAT is crazy.

I've been thinking about going back to Mary Kay lately. Let me know how the regiment works.

And I really don't think that Botox should be that readily accessible,.

I think there should be a ban on botox before a certain age...

Mind you, I'm only 20 so maybe I'll think differently in 5 years time :-S I hope not!

I don't think that Botox should be that accessible either. Why do people think it is a good idea to PARALYZE their face so that they can't show any emotion????????

The thing about all the freebies is ... you actually have to go to the events! I think I went to one bridal event that was so disgustingly overboard, I skipped out on the rest. I guess I lose, because I had to buy all my product! =)
