in which a line is crossed

saffronhareAh, vanity!
I went to purchase some new foundation this weekend. I don't tend to wear much make-up at all, nor do I wear it all the time, but I like to have some foundation to generally smooth out blotchiness (yay freckles) and do some minor cover-up. I like to look nicely put together when I do make the effort.
Typically, I use the stuff that made claims of oil reduction or whatever -- clean & clear kind of stuff. But this time? This time, I went for something that had "radiance" in the product name.
Yeah.
It's still Cover Girl -- I didn't go for the Olay Regenerist stuff, or the pricy brands that promise to plump up wrinkles...gotta hold something back for later, you know -- but I finally crossed over into wanting something that had moisture and skin nourishment higher up in the hierarchy of benefits. And guess what? It feels very nice. And I feel pretty today.

Blotchiness?

Sorry 'bout not remembering to friend you back. Need to pay better attention to that. Fixing now. You know, since you slatherd on the compliments.

You have left me a minefield in which to attempt a reply.
Date: 2007-01-29 07:27 pm (UTC)It was just a bit spendy for me that day. If it'd been a payday Friday, who knows? (smile) As it was, the estrogen surge only took me so far.
