They influenced me to make a couple of drugstore purchases.  ELF Camo powder foundation for setting undereyes and Aveeno Eczema Therapy.  Oh, the Aveeno suggestion came from  Dr Shereene Idriss.  I keep a couple of Aveeno face products on standby in case I mess up my face by being too agressive or a new product doesn't agree with me.  Should be a staple in everyone's bathroom imo.  And JB talked me into buying this from Milani...meh.  It's ok.

"We" are supposed to be cleaning house today.  DH is but every time he sees me doing something, he takes over and tells me I don't need to be doing that :/  The pump on our dw went out on Thurs.  Waited for the repair man Fri and Sat.  Called Sat and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone (sigh).  Hopefully tomorrow they'll be here with the part.  Luckily we have brisket and homemade stew to keep us from having to cook.

I'm notg itchy or dry but it can't hurt

This is 120N.  Hope it's not too light.  I don't even use concealer anymore   I just thought about that LOL  I'm sure it will come in handy some day and for $11, I'm not going to cry about it.

@monicakm I watched Dr. Idriss and saw her recommendations too. Isn't she great?

I have and love the lip oil in that flavor. I put it on while I do my makeup in the morning and it stays on while I ride the bus (wearing a mask) and until I get to the office where I put on my lipstick.

Just left Walmart about an hour ago and grabbed the ELF lip balm in a tube. Love it. I am a lipstick, lip balm, any lip product junkie. Don't wear much make up, but I gotta have lipstick and blush and I'm set.

@monicakm  - I'm going to pick up the Elf Camo Powder foundation too.  I've seen good reviews on You Tube.  I was at Walmart today, but they didn't have my shade.  I hope I choose the right shade.

@Texasmouse 

Yes, she is great!  I would say I've gotten more of an education with James Welsh BUT I found him two years earlier and was doing great.  My complexion is right there where mom's used to be (and without Retin A).  That's been my goal

I'm sure the lip oil is fine.  I've just got so many lip products, it would have to be out of this world to be better than other lippies in my stash.

@bmorechick 

Lashes and Lips is my motto but I wear a full face of make.  Deserted island must haves are lashes and lips

Which Elf lip balm did you buy at WM?

@San Antonio Gal 

What shade are you going to buy?  I chose fair neutral   Hope it's not too light. I'm going out tomorrow so I'll be trying it then.  Have PT tomorrow and then my daughter and I are taking mom to lunch and to tour the assisted living facility. That's going to be hard.  I know she is not going to be open to the idea right now but Iike I told my husband, we've got to start the process.  The lady who owns the assisted living place said it's not uncommon to  show a family around and not hear back from them for a year.  I'll be holding her hand the entire time.

DH is trying to take good care of you while you heal, so sweet!

He doesn't want you to try to do too much, to slow down your healing and recovery, good man!

[San Antonio Gal]

@monicakm - I'm going to order one of the medium neutral shades.  Hope it's not too dark, but I am normally a medium neutral in other brands.  Fingers crossed.

@Texasmouse   Dr. Idriss has been my favorite YT doc for quite awhile and I think I mentioned her here. Her advice is simple and products readily available. They're also often drugstore items.
