Didn't think I'd fall prey.
Never, in a million years, did I dream I'd be tap-tapping in the morning. And sometimes in the afternoon. And again before I go out at night. And - come to think of it - I must have been waaaaaaay more worried about turning 50 than I ever thought I was.
Listen to the conversation I had with Ponzi just about a month ago. . . a few days before my birthday. . .
___________________
Me: You know that make-up you left in the bathroom the other day?
Ponzi: Yeah? Because, believe it or not, ever since Trigger's departure (yes, Trigger - remember her?) anything left on the bathroom counter is a memorable experience. . .
Me: Well I tried it, and I actually kind of liked it. Did that come from one of those stores in The Mall? You know. . ."The" Mall I won't go into?
Ponzi: Yeah Mom, it's the tap-tap make-up you always make fun of. It's from Sephora's.
Me: Well can you go there. . . and get some for me. . . like in disguise?
Ponzi: Yeah, I'll get you a starter kit for your skin tone. It'll be my birthday present to you. Only you'll pay for it!
Me: How much will that be?
Ponzi: Oh, not much . . . . like $50 or $60 or something.
Me: Well, that's quite a present to myself. . . but a lady only turns 50 once. . .and goodness knows your sisters won't be buying me anything. . . but Ponz?
Ponzi: Yes?
Me: Tell those make-up Nazi's in the store you're buying it for your sister. Whatever you do, don't tell them it's for your 50-year-old mother, 'cause then they'll either laugh you out of the store, or try to talk you into buying all kinds of other stuff. . . . like . . . . for old ladies. I don't look like an old lady, do I?
Ponzi: No, Mom, of course you don't.
Me: Good. . . that's why I had you. . . . now hurry up and run along to The Mall so I can tap-tap tonight before I go out. . .
oh. . . and the starter kit came with a dvd. What sort of numskull would give a dvd to an old lady, who - very clearly - can't operate her family's entertainment system without the help of a teenage daughter? And, furthermore, what kind of self-respecting female needs a dvd to show them how to apply a little makeup? WTF???

Oh my, you need to go visit e.l.f. I got some of their stuff at BlogHer and LOVE it! And cheap! Inexpensive isn't low enough.
Tap Tap. Who's there? :)
I'm not going to say I told you so...Mainly because I didn't tell you so, BUT I love that junk and I don't even wear make up. My next door neighbor wears make up and anytime she gets a new thing, she likes to try it out on me...because we have the same skin tone. And that junk makes your skin feel like silk and look airbrushed. I Love that stuff, so I'm glad you have found something that works for you.
LOL that's great
It's the ONLY make-up I use anymore. I am a tap-tapping FOOL!!
I LOVE that stuff, too. Although, my vanity top is always a mess with the stray "tappings", along with the hair that seems to be falling out just as fast I can grow it. Blech.
You deserve some expensive presents.
So, when is your birthday ; -)
I have to follow the link, I have no idea what tap tap makeup is.
I'm tap tap illiterate.
But you did watch the DVD right? And cringe? Or did you hum along to the funky little soundtrack?!
I need the tap, tap, paste. I love the concept - so maybe I need to try it out.
Happy Birthday!
Okay, I still don't get it? What the heck is the tap-tap about? Do I live under a rock?
Cuz if it works that well I want it!
Yeah... Um I still thought clinque was the expensive "good stuff" Please educate your blog sisters here!

LOL, I've been using Bare Essentials for several years after I saw one of my daughters tapping away.Love it and it's so light!
Don't you just love that tapping makeup. It gives such a sexy glow to your skin, now you just need to cash in that Victoria's Secret gift card, tap on a hot face and you'll be ready for anything! I miss the conversations with all your girls. Jeanne
i'm not much of a make up person, but tap-tapping rocks! it is by far THE best stuff isn't it?! i only wish our oppressive floridian heat would go away so i can wear it without it floating off of my face the moment i step out into the humidity!
Hello, my name is Debbie and I'm a tapper.
I've found that I have to use a good moisturizer or primer first though ... or else the tap-tap stuff can really accentuate fine lines.
The eye shadow is great stuff ... stays on much longer than other powder shadows.
My oldest is almost 14. Guess we'll be having those conversations soon.
I don't get that tap tap stuff. I'd be so lost.
I don't use anything, let alone the tap-tap stuff. I'm wondering how long that will last before I cave in self-consciousness. Or will my laziness win out?
Love the stuff...hubby would simply not understand the $60 price tag and that's just the started kit...it's our (the ladies secret!)...tap away!
