I haven't been able to wear my foundation because of it (patchy dryness becomes very obvious) but thank goodness for my skin79 bb cream- it at least makes my skin look like its not trying to flake off in patches off of my face -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just sent off the stash of Korean Skin Care I experimented with to my favorite Gothlette because it just looked awful on me.   The Hot Pink BB Cream of Magic just sat on the surface of my skin and then flaked.  It was like I was wearing theatrical old skin makeup. 

If you are drying/breaking out - stop exfoliating for a bit and give you skin a chance to heal.   Cleanse more gently and just go with a good moisturizer.  I know it seems counter-intuitive but all the scratching the surface can actually makes things worse.

That's odd- oh well, lucky for your friend! I love that stuff. =p Yeah- I tried not exfoliating at all for like 2.5 weeks and still had some flakiness. No break outs (minus a little bit of hormonal bumps that happen once a month) Even then I only majorly exfoliated once a week regularly. I'm trying out a new moisturizer sample- hopefully it helps. (A FAB one, I believe). It's all so frustrating lol. I'm not sure what else I can do except keep trying to find something/a routine that helps. I'm sure it'll help once my skin accepts that this is life now, too. Thanks for your advice :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
If you're flaky or having dry patches, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Concentrate is something i SWEAR by. It has saved my skin when wrecked from seasonal changes and from allergic reactions to products. If you are close to a sephora just ask for a sample - a little goes a long way anyway.

Maybe that's the sample I have! I know she wrote FAB on it and she recommended it based on the concerns I have- and that I told her I prefer lighter/more serum-like products over more lotion-y/heavy face products. so far I love how it feels, just gotta give it more time to see if it helps :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
Oh this stuff is definitely heavy and buttery... Or looks like a glue stick but feels incredible. I think it works because its so heavy and moisturizing. My skin was back to normal after spot-treating the dry patches with it for 3 days

Hey, if it works, I'm down! It's not that big of a deal for me since I tend to layer products anyways. I'll definitely pick some up (if I ever get my VIB gift card thingy! Lol) OH! I also have some body shop stuff coming in (hopefully soon!) that got rave reviews. Even though its a frustrating thing- I must admit its kinda fun experimenting with all these new products =p

You seriously need to contact First Aid Beauty and ask for commission.  You're like they're unofficial spokesperson!  I love the products of theirs I've tried.

LOL, my favorite part of living in a cold winter climate was having an excuse to completely overhaul my beauty routine in the winter.  Only change now during winter is I don't need blotting papers constantly.  Have fun with it!

 
So my car dealership just told me that the flat tire I had over thanksgiving weekend doesn't just require a new tire.  I also bent the wheel so badly I need a new one of those too.  With labor, the estimate was $887.

 Guy told me to go to a discount place and just buy 4 new wheels that aren't from the manufacturer to save money.  My first instinct was to cry.  Then I was cursing the streets of Houston for so many potholes, one of which I hit.  But then, I decided to go to Walgreens where I knew they were having beauty clearance and instead bought my Santees more presents.  Somehow that made it feel a little better...

That. Sucks. I grew up in Houston- I feel ya. When I drove around on that wobbly tire for forever it was because the tire thingy was bent- so I pounded out the bend lol. But um...I'm the queen of ghetto stuff like that. It's definitely not for everyone lol. And I would've done the same- retail therapy/gifting. Love it.
 
So I just assembled a "large" flat rate box from the post office.  Um, those things have no business calling themselves "large."  I don't think everything will fit in there! 

 
Haha. That and OCC... I just love those products so much. First Aid Beauty saved my skin. After using the TARTE BB primer thingy my face had all these dime-sized dry patches on my cheeks, near my mouth, and on my chin. That concentrate was the only thing that worked to get me back to normal. After using the PTR CC cream my nose started to flake and I also started to get those dry circles. FAB to the rescue! This was the worst - after using the Suki cleanser and toner (toner daily for a week and scrub 3x for that week) my face got really itchy, I had dry circles, started to break out in little hurty whitehead pimples, and areas took on a weird, bumpy texture (think clusters of small mosquito bites but not red. Just raised bumps). I didn't do ANYTHING to my face for 2 days then i wore the FAB concentrate day and night and BAM I'm back to normal! concentrate is also great for dry, scaley winter lizard legs and dry elbows. My favorite "serum" like item is the PTR oilless oil. It's awesome for dryness! I wouldn't recommend using the concentrate and the PTR at the same time though. Too much.

Will you share some Cajun cooking skillz with me too??? Lol. I'm attempting red beans and rice with some Cajun sausage that I brought back when I was in New Orleans. Wish me luck or send me a recipe/tips.

I want you to teach me your ways too! I love Cajun food! My dad had family who lived in New Orleans and they taught him how to make gumbo and all types of creole delights. Man, I miss living at home.
 
After Santa season is over, can we have an Endless Summer Camp thread? This one is going to max out one of these days (I think the maximum post count is 5000, and we're past 4500 in here already!), and we clearly need a thread like this!

 
So i just thought everyone thought it was FAB like as in great, as in slang. I am only now getting the First Aid Beauty part... Sigh.... is it Friday yet?

Sure, Sure! First off, my way is certainly not the end all/be all! Emeril Lagasse's wife, Alden was one of my esthetic clients when I lived in New Orleans, so I I got a lot of good tips from her! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I always cook my dried red beans in the crock pot..usually for 14-16 hours...the trick is to let the flavor from the sausage meld into the beans...mmm. I usually start my base in a cast iron skillet sautéing diced white onion, bell pepper and garlic in a heart-attack inducing amount of butter. Once translucent, I transfer them into the base of the crock pot, then add my sausage (which I'll cut into medallions and brown first in the same cast iron skillet), the dried beans, a dash (or 4) of Tabasco, TONY CHACERE'S seasoning-lots of it...and extra slices of fresh white onion..then just pop the lid on your crock pot and enjoy the heavenly aroma that will inevitably fill your entire house! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Oh! And be sure to make a pawn of fresh sweet cornbread to serve with them! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the first time I read of someone talking about First Aid Beauty they ONLY wrote it as FAB and I was just like wtf is that.
