The fifth box was quite simple, along with the instructions. First Brenda had to drink one full glass of wine, and then apply the makeup and lipstick provided. After finishing that she was to adorn herself with the earrings provided.
Brenda peered into the box as she poured herself a glass and began sipping. She spied the lipstick, gloss, eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. She took the box to her makeup bureau and set the camera to the side, capturing her reflection in the vanity mirror. She looked at her image noting that she needed no foundation or rouge, thanks to the abundant use of the glittering body lotion. Brenda spun the tube of lipstick, and cringed when she saw the bright red color emerge. She set the tube aside and looked at the tube of gloss; strawberry flavored, glittering lip gloss! Overkill, Brenda told herself. The eye shadow was a pale pink, making Brenda wonder who picked these out?
She finished her drink, convincing herself she would need another in order to put on the “crap” they gave her. With her second glass in reach, Brenda began applying the eye shadow. By the time it was on, Brenda had a third of the glass consumed. She carefully lined each eye with the thick black pencil, noting how it made her jade eyes more appealing. The thick lash mascara made her long lashes even more noticeable and defined. Now it was time for the lipstick. Brenda pursed her lips in the mirror and slowly ran the slim red tube over her lips, painting them bright red. Brenda nipped the corners of her mouth, ensuring an even coating over the suddenly dry lips. She kissed a folded piece of paper, removing any excesses, before blowing kisses into the mirror. Brenda didn’t like the look, but knew she would have to deal with it. She waited a few minutes till her lips had dried before applying the gloss. A generous coating of gloss lacquered the paint to her lips, making them shine and sparkle along with her body. Confident, she now looked like Mac wanted her to, Brenda emptied her glass. Pulling the earrings from the box, Brenda was smugly aware that she was going to look like a hooker with the big hooped gold earrings dangling from her lobes. Despite it all, Brenda carried on, returning to the bed for the next box and instructions.
