I still remember my (actual) first visit to the MAC counter. it was at Nordstrom's, and I had seen the counter already many times before. My family always brought clothes there, and we would pass the cosmetic department often. Ever since I was a five-year-old, and every month, I'd see the wondrous and awe-inducing events for the new collections. I'd see beautiful women, one after the other sitting in the high chairs getting their makeup applied. My mom would always joke around and say 'do you want to get your makeup done?' Of course, i would say yes, and she'd say she was kidding. I ended up getting a little tomboyish, and wasn't as interested in feminine material. then I kind of loosened up and started getting interested in makeup again. I'm guessing my mom was right because she said I would probably end up being very feminine. But anyway, October of 2010, i went to the MAC counter and brought the Viva Glam Gaga. I wouldn't use it often for school, but it definitely came in handy later on! It was such a memorable moment in my life.
