I was in San Fran last week with my husband and it was so fun! They have soooo many more beauty stores than we have in Minneapolis. I went into 2 Sephora's which were 2-3 times the size of the Sephora's we have in MN. So many more product lines. I went into a Fresh store, and a Kiehls store which we don't have in MN. I really loved the Kiehls store and got into trying on the rollerball essential oils. I liked the musk with the vanilla layered on top. One thing I was surprised by was the Bare Escentuals boutique was the same size as the 2 we have at malls here. I thought since Bare Escentuals is produced out of San Francisco they would really do it up big in SF.

So yesterday I decided I've had it.  I've had great skin for the last year until about 2 months ago.  I've done multiple salcylic acid peel facials in the last couple of months but it just keeps getting worse.  SO back to basics and what I know works.  Lots of benzoyl peroxide (Proactiv Repairing Lotion) followed by SPF in the am and moisturizer in the pm.  I followed this last night this morning and now this evening and already my skin is healing and no new breakouts!  I just need to stick with what works.  I placed an order at www.acne.org for products and I highly recommend checking out this website if you have acne.  It's good simple advice for clearing up your skin and it definitely worked for me.

I was sucked into watching Serious Skin Care on HSN...I get entranced by Jennifer Flavin especially when she talks about her zits.  It makes me feel better about my own zits.  I've never bought a product from SSC but I intend to research their acne line.

In the latest edition of Allure it lists "pearly nude lip gloss" as in for fall. I love lipgloss and I'm not opposed to cheap brands although my fav is definitely MAC lipglass. One of the fall colors listed is Wet n Wild Lip Shine in Reckless which I'll be purchasing on my next trip to Target.
