Vrai, once Christmas is over & done with, I've promised myself a Bare Minerals starter kit AND the Coach bag I want. :biggrin:

What's the attraction to Coach bags? That's what my DIL bought herself as a "Welcome home from Iraq" treat and she's all crazy about it. I always buy cheap bags so I don't feel guilty throwing them away when I get sick of them. Should I reconsider?

I just love Coach bags. :shrug: However, I usually buy my bags from Lerner for roughly $20-$50. I have a black Kenneth Cole handbag that I use almost daily. I'm just in the market for a nice purse, and it just so happens to be by Coach.

I have no idea what the attraction is to any designer bag. I'd rather buy the cheap bags that I can toss when they're ragged out and spend the big bucks on other things.

Another thing - I use the Neutrogena face wash daily w/creams and never exfoliate or do microdermabrasion. Should I be doing that? I use the face wash in the morning and evenings, and face and eye cream afterwards 2x a day. I used to do gycolic peels weekly but sort of got out of the habit. Does Sally's sell the glycolic peel kits? - I used to get mine online.

Someone answer my daggone questions! :tantrum

I'll tell you what aggravates me: when the lining develops a hole and you start losing stuff in the guts of the purse.

I love the bag I've got now, but it's got that black hole going on. I might sew it up - I'll have to think about it.

Jabba, I believe that each persons skincare routine is unique to their body. I exfoliate morning and evening, and I use a toner both morning and evening. Before I put on foundation, I usually use 2-3 moisturizers because my face and skin gets irritatibly dry in the winter. However, some individuals have a perfect complexion and all they have to do is throw water on their face. :shrug:

I try to buy bags without liners. I have several.

I seriously thought I responded to you. Your skin is terrific and if that is what you are doing, stick with it. :huggy:

I had never heard of glycolic peels and washes until the earlier part of this year when the Dermatologist told me to use it.

My sister has a $400 purse and I have one that looks just like it except for the little brand thing and mine was $30. :lol:

That's a good idea - I've had bags without liners and, while I never loved them, they didn't annoy me with black hole-itis.

You mentioned earlier problems with your foundation "keeping". Do you think it might be because you're over-stimulating your skin? That sounds like an awful lot of "stuff" to do to your face on a daily basis. Over-exfoliation will over-stimulate your oil glands, which will contribute to break-outs and the "slide-effect" of foundation. Toss on top of that 3 moisturizers and ... :jet:

You might be better off going with a quality moisturizer for morning and one for night, and only exfoliate at night. Think about your skin like you do hair -- the more products you use, the more it weighs your hair down. Same deal.

Just a suggestion ...

I have no breakouts because of the routine I'm on and have been using for about a year now. :yay:
