I have become a makeup maven, ya’ll. I am enjoying playing with the different colors of bluch and eyeshadow, and lipsticks and, and, and you get the point. But playing with make-up also means I am paying more attention to skin care because *whisper* I’ll get zits if I don’t.

I’ve also had a couple of not-so-amusing moments regarding my face. I looked at my eyes the other day, and thought “man, that’s like really puffy. I should get something for that.” And then I thought, “oh, but I don’t want to be the kind of woman that needs eye cream. Ewwwwwwwwwww!” tap, tap. Reality check, I am the kind of woman who needs eye cream. The only question is: what am I going to do about it?

I came really close to ordering an eye cream sample this morning. In fact, the only thing that stopped me was that I didn’t want to pay for shipping. This whole Emerge Skin Care line intrigues me, because it’s natural with no synthetic chemicals, fragrances or preservatives. I like being able to pronounce the stuff I put on my face. Call me crazy if you must.
