Lady(ies), on the other hand, you may care about this if you, like me, have oily skin and are interested in makeup and the like. If not, you may wish to join the menfolk in turning away for the moment.
I have been test-driving some new foundation for a few weeks now. I've long worn Bobbi Brown stuff (and I still love it all), but between the longer daily walk to and from my work parking place coupled I think with some of the medication changes I've already made this year, my skin is just too oily for it any more. I mean, I've always been oily, but it's gotten a lot worse. Plus, I'm in the sun a lot more, so I can't scrimp on sun protection, which just adds to the overall gooeyness of my skin.

After failing at Target I tried an online search, and one foundation rose above nearly all others when reviewed by oily-skinned women: Estee Lauder Double Wear Makeup. It almost seemed too good to be true -- 15-hour wear, 20 shades available, SPF 10 (not great, but at least something), oil free. Hmmmm.

Once my samples are gone, I'm going to buy the full-size bottle. If you're in the market for something new and have similar skin issues, I recommend this.

Bless your heart, Rodney, for not turning away from the consumer activism at the heart of this post just because it was makeup-y! And that Blog Search feature is a great thing!
"Big" ideas can be applied to many things. Even makeup!
