Hey guys,

Ok, so one of our festivals starts tonight, and in Jewish law the husband has to buy his wife clothing or jewellery etc., on the festivals. So this one i decided i was going to go out and buy myself some really nice good makeup to make me feel pretty instead.

I've been feeling very blurgh recently - i've put on so much weight post babies etc, and i just want to feel nice.

Ok, so i have around $250 to spend - what brands do i buy? I was thinking about going to like the MAC counter at myer and getting them to advise me, but will they show me proper ways to apply makeup etc?

I was thinking i should have makeup lessons, but they cost around that much, and then i won't have the money for actual makeup.

What brands do you recommend (I have EXTREMELY SENSITIVE skin, and i'm also very pale & freckly).??
I don't want to look like a movie start made up each day (some of them only seem to have very "out there" colours), i just wanted some nice everyday fresh look, and a slightly nicer going out in the evening colours.

Where would you go? To a department store, or more to like a makeup store like Napeloean etc?
