The Clayton's Makeover!
I got a Claytons Makeover last night!
Here in Australia, a long time ago (in a land, far, far away – oops sorry went all fairytale there for a moment!) there was an ad for a non-alcoholic mixer drink called Claytons.
The drink was pretty bloody awful as I remember, but the advertising campaign saw to it that Claytons (the drink you have when you’re not having a drink) entered and REMAINED in the language. At least for most of us BabyBoomers!
Well let’s get off non-alcoholic drinks and on to a networking event I went to last night. And no! I had NO wine!
Clever Chics, has a BAG (Big Audacious Goal). Clever Chics aspires to be the biggest women’s networking group in the world! I like a group who thinks small. 
That’s why I joined!
Currently they’re growing into the Melbourne Networking market and last night’s event was a Makeover Expo.
Catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones was mild in comparison with the highlight of my night – a makeup makeover!
The Big Reveal
But before we got to the lovely Jane Iredale makeup, Christine, from Cutters Club in Newport, applied an amazing Bags-Under-Your-Eyes-All-Gone kinda product.
This stuff is called Eyesential and I was stunned. I’d seen it being reported on one of the more tabloid-type current affairs programs and had been very dubious.
Shut Up about the Vanity, Guys!
Now for you blokes who poo-poo the kind of shallow, female, vanity that would have people worrying about bags under their eyes, I’d like to tell you I saw a couple of blokes sit down to have this stuff applied to their bags, and smiling as they looked in the mirror. So Raspberries to you!!!!!
The Sceptic Worm turns!
As a consumer, I’m often persuadable. However one area where I’m pretty resistant and strongly sceptical is the cosmetics front. As anyone who’s seen me in my track-pants (sweats) would have noted, I’m not all that bothered about what I look like. My morning makeup routine is very limited, and usually I’m lucky to get some lipstick on. So my cosmetics budget is pretty low!
But , once I’d seen just how much the shelves under my eyelids disappeared, I was SOLD! This time a little box of precious stuff came home with me!
Now for the drum roll,
Just before I left, the biggest makeover of all came my way, I won a door prize. (Yes another prize, I have done well this year.)
This was a voucher for BOTOX treatment.
(Ok, friends you can stop laughing NOW!!!)
The irony is amazing. Me and Botox were not exactly a mix I’d EVER have considered!
Will I use it? We’ll see …
