A.Jay In Wonderland

Is it peculiar that I seriously get a little poignant before I stride into the Cosmetic Section @ Macys. The rapture. The anticipation. The petite bag that I dropped $75 on. It is like a candy store for grown folks. Grown folks with lip gloss and make up obsessions. The estrogen level is sky-scraping. Guys tend to give it a wide berth. A few confident gentlemen venture in, hold up random testers, and look for consent in the eyes of their ladies.

It’s not a place for kids, really. If you’re coming in to make a quick grab, sure, but if you are there to peruse, make other arrangements. I have rarely been so appalled as I was at the sight of a small boy sitting in the aisle between the Chanel and E. Arden displays. Pulled from the shelves and piled around him were boxes of blush. He was opening them and pushing them about. Chanel blush, specifically their powder blush in a shade named Ephemere, is iconic. It’s also about $40 dollars a pop. This under supervised youngster was corrupting a few hundred dollars worth of stock but was in his quest of giving a helping hand to his mom who was on the other side of the counter giving a coquettish glance over perfumes.

Anyways getting back to what I got from my wonderland. Chanel's Levres Scintillates Glossimer and Aqualumiere Lipstick and Passion from Arden collections
I think my cosmetics are leading a far more steamy life than I am .
