Yesterday I went to Walgreen's for two items:
- Olay Definity Color Recapture anti-aging UV moisturizer + sheer illuminating coverage ($29.99 and they keep it under lock and key near the Baby Phat perfume)
- a Ped Egg ($12.99, the kind with the handle so I "don't have to bend over.")
When your almost 40, you can spend almost $50 at Walgreen's on two items without batting an eyelash. You tell yourself that at least you aren't spending $150 on face cream at a department store, and then $30 for swirly tinted moisturizer seems justified.
I had bottles of sparkly green and turquoise nail polish in my hand but decided to put them back. I also gave my kids some Chips Ahoy cookies as we entered the store so they would let me browse in peace, but they were too fascinated by the press-on nails (and toe nails WTF?) to bother me.

Ha! I pick up those colors every time I'm in there, too, even though I already have THREE colors of green in my collection.
Revlon is sending me a "basket" of fake nails to try out. Maybe I can hook up the kids with some long red plastic action. Because that's what a good Auntie does: slut up the under aged girls, and then help them birth control. Next, ear piercing!

HaHa! I love the ped-egg but when I was buying I never saw the handled version, I love it! I am saving up 9.99 to buy the smooth away - think they do a good brazillian? You must tell how awesome the ellen degeneres pimped foundation works!
Oh god, fake toenails? eek!

So you are planning to give us a review of the Olay Definity after a bit of use, right? I need to know whether to waste my $30 on it or some other product that doesn't work as advertised.

Yeah, I want to know if the Definity tint will match/blend with my "multi-cultural" hard to match skin tone. Keep us posted chickas!
