Beauty Box 5

“That awkward moment when you feel your false eyelashes start coming out of place in a middle of a conversation and you’re trying not to blink because the more you blink the more loose they get, but you just can’t stop blinking— it’s like your eye lids are starting to have a nervous breakdown— and then you miss the entire conversation you were in the middle off. Yup, that’s happened to this girl… a couple of times.” -Joanna, Marketing Director

"I don’t have an awkward beauty moment on a date, but I did have an awkward beauty semester while in junior high. Okay, actually a whole year. I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup until I was in seventh grade, and when I was allowed, I would try anything on my face, especially my eyes. I went a whole year alternating between white and blue eyeliner. Gross! But I can’t blame anyone for not telling me that white and blue eyeliner are not my color since all my girlfriends did the same thing.” -Vee, Media Relations Manager

"Loving my food way too much while wearing bright red lipstick. By the end of the meal the lipstick is everywhere else on my face but my lips!" -Lauren, Customer Account Manager

"I rarely use foundation and makeup powder, but I had to attend a special occasion and decided to pack it on. While I was there I ran into and old friend, chatted briefly, then leaned in to give him a hug. I ended up getting my makeup on his WHITE t-shirt. It was embarrassing and extremely awkward. I quickly walked away and pretended like nothing happened.” -Natalia, Art Director

"I was at an awards ceremony and a cute friend of mine from another school was there, so I looked in my compact mirror to make sure I looked good. I got up, gave him a hug, talked to his friends for a minute, then came back to my table. I looked in the mirror again and discovered that while my makeup looked great, I had food stuck in my front teeth." -Alexa, Communications Director
