GREAT NEWS: I GOT MAKEUP!

I just got back from vacation and there was a huge box on my desk. Really huge, like even huger than the one time Fox sent us a giant Simpsons Halloween Special-themed bucket of assorted flavored popcorn. Anyway, I saw that the return address was from Sephora and I got so excited I cut my thumb pretty badly with the scissors while opening it. And then, out of the box came a GIGANTIC lipstick! Like remember that 80s store Think Big! where you could get giant crayons and all of that oversized stuff that Ricky Schroeder had on Silver Spoons? Big like that. And then! You pull out the lipstick and it’s full of makeup! Color me dazzled!

I guess it’s Sephora’s 10th birthday so they are spreading the cheer via tons of free makeup in fancy limited-edition packaging—cute brands too, like Stila and Urban Decay and that Philosophy Cookbook thing with all the flavors like cinnamon buns and strawberry milkshake. I am such a sucker for this stuff. And there’s a really pretty black-rhinestone-encrusted Sephora brand lipstick that is incredibly red and stained my lips for like two days, which apparently is a good thing according to girls I know who wear a lot of lipstick.

So yup, Sephora has officially raised the bar with their giant lipstick full of surprises and now that box of little unopened padded envelopes filled with CDs and books I keep next to my desk looks even sadder than it did before. Thanks Sephora!
