I would really like a Victorinox watch. Saving saving saving
My hubs really could use a new watch. I don't want to insult him in any way. He's just funny about me buying stuff like that for him.
I have several watches but only wear my Omega. I really should just get rid of the others.

I've seen lots of ads lately featuring smokey eyes w/bold lips, and the combo looks awesome. When I purchased my YSL Fétiche palette I did so because the ad
featured a smokey eye with an amazing fuchsia lip. It was stunning, as I'm sure you looked! today!!
I have also seen those ads! I guess the old rule of play up one feature or another is out the window these days?

That's the dilemma I'm facing -I don't have oily skin. I have normal skin. And a lot of the acne lines are geared towards oily skin. I know Proactiv fried my face. I was thinking of using Philsophy clear days ahead. They use salicylic acid as their acne fighting ingredient and I think my skin would be ok with that.
I have normal skin too, sometimes it gets a few oily spots in summer & dry in the winter or if I use medication. I would try products here & there for breakouts or to prevent but they just weren't made for my skintype. I would find others had the same problem or thought they had combo/oily skin & would exfoliate or use acne products & just dry out their skin & then your skin just gets oilier & creates a bigger mess.
I tried that Philosophy Clear days and Take a deep breath but I ended up being allergic to something in it and Proactiv did the same to me too (this also bleached my friends towels or clothes, lol) so u know that bad boy is strong, hahaha.. Try Mario Badescu's drying lotion, I usually use that on any spots I get & my friend swear by this Neutrogena rapid clear (its the orange tub) but I like mine better

, just dont use it too much. I also get this medication from my derm, used it such a long time ago when I was a teen & it totally wrkd, its a powder & paste u mix to get a gel. I'll look for the container later just in case you wind up at the derm too one day. That one definitely saved me $ after buying all these different products throughout the yrs & worked better too.

Ok, I better skip Philsophy's products if it's similar to proactiv. Proactiv FRIED MY FACE. I' m totally allergic to it! It made it super dry, flaky, and red. It was like burning. I do NOT want to go through that again.

I'm wearing Poe with a smokey eye today. Normally I don't do a smokey eye with a bold lip, but I feel like Poe needs it. Very gothic chic.
ooh how's the texture & feel on that. Ive been wanting technopagan for so long but its always out of stock :( and I can never find the nyx one. I keep hearing the kvd lipsticks are dry so I haven't bought any but they are so pretty. I got one of her liquid lipstick in Berlin & that one is amazing and even left such a beautiful stain after i fell asleep with it on the other day.

I have a lot of KVD lippies, and they ARE a bit drying. It's not so bad if you use a lip primer underneath, however. I've been wearing Poe all day and my lips are not dry, but I used MAC's prep+prime lip primer before I put on Poe. If you are not willing to use a primer/lip balm underneath, then you might not like KVD's lipsticks.

Philosophy is supposed to be pretty gentle or most of their products at least. I have a few items from the & really like em & love the 3in1 bodywashes. I was just allergic to those 2 items & Proactive did the same too me and so did this Boots All Bright milk cleanser, it felt like my face was melting off after only like 5 secs. but definitely try the Badescu 1 if u can, its strong & wks but u only put it on the spots & not the whole face so its not bad and I send u the info for the derm when I can later.

OMG. There is a roommate here who is an awful person, and she was moving out today. She took all my face products with her, a lot of the stuff I need for school. Everything is gone. I lost my entire skincare kit. I don't know if I can go back to school in January now. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Can you not contact the roommate? Or authorities if you know she definitely took it?
I live in sober living. This is the problem with living in a place like this, you get stuck with whoever you get stuck with, and many people have criminal backgrounds (she does). I called the house manager who instructed me to call the police. I called the police and they told me that she can't be listed as a suspect unless I actually saw her take the items. They're sending someone over in a few hours so I can file a report.

I have no idea how to contact this person. She also has physically threatened me and left trash in my room. So I don't think she's going to nicely answer her phone for me, I don't know where she lives and have no way to ever recover my items.

That sucks babe. I have found that not every1 with a criminal bkgrnd to be untrustworthy, sometimes the most straight laced & proper just suck in general and can be even worse and from past experiences people those are the kind of people I have seen do horrible crap to others. I'm sorry about your lousy experience with this individual, just be happy this person is no longer your roomate at least *and there's also this thing called karma for people like that.

So supposedly the person who took my items had someone help her move, and they packed up my bathroom instead of hers. Except, they ONLY took the skincare. Wouldn't someone packing up a bathroom take the toothbrush, tooth paste and other items? I think this story is fishy but either way I get my stuff back tomorrow.

Wow. My heart stopped for you, then I read your second message and felt relieved. I'm sure you will too, once you get your belongings back. Whew!!!!
