And we don't care about the young folks, talkin' 'bout the young style

This weekend Shannon and I got a little bored and did some online shopping because we are old and lazy. We bought Benefit's Erase Paste and That Gal face primer. I think the Erase Paste is totally awesome. You know how I usually look like I have two black eyes because my eyelids are kind of purple (just part of my birthmark-doesn't really bother me anymore) and I have huge, really dark blue marks under my eyes (do still bother me and are only getting worse as I get older)? Yeah, well, not today buddy. It's like a super concealer and I think I love it! It was kind of ridiculously expensive for the tiny jar we got, but you really use a tiny amount, so I think it will be worth it. Shannon loved it too, so much so that I think we'll be getting a second jar so that we each have one. The face primer I am less sure about. It seems fine and all, but I don't know if I love it. We may need to give that one a few days. Anyway, just thought I would share my new product crush with you. I love products. Now if only I could find something to keep my chin from peeling. I know, I'm so gross. But my skin is absurdly dry and once it starts, I can't make it stop. I want to put the prescription stuff I put on my eyes to keep them from flaking off, but it's so expensive and comes in such a small tube that I hate to waste it like that. Dilemma! Anyway, suggestions from anyone else out there with really parched sensitive skin?

Once mine starts to peel I can't stop it either. I might try the prescrition on it. Although I got some Oil of Olay (I know... old lady) stuff at the grocery and it works really well. It made it stop peeling, and it didn't break my skin out. But it's anti-aging. And I don't think I am wrinkly yet... but I might be. But I definitely don't think you are.

I actually used to use Oil of Olay when I was a teenager, but it wasn't any kind of anti-aging stuff. It was just regular face lotion. And I think I'm getting wrinkly...which I think is directly related to how dry my skin is.

Hmmm. You might be right. I have the problem of haing dry peely skin that is also oily. How much sense does that make? None. So there you go. Actually I read an article that said Oil of Olay was the best even if you can buy it at the drugstore.

Of course I'm right, have you forgotten who I am? So just kidding. ;) Anyway, is it regular Oil of Olay that is supposed to be the best, or the stuff you have? Because, yeah, while the rest of my face might just be dry, my chin is actually oily and also peeling because it's too dry. I hate my skin...

It's like the whole line of stuff. And the stuff I got was anti-aging night renewal cream. I use it in the morning too, though, on the spots that have issues...
