They packaged a regular night cream as a bonus with my fragrance free SPF 15 Total Effects (I think). Why would you put the stinky stuff as a bonus for someone who is buying fragrance free? What I am coveting is the Bliss "Youth as We Know It" miracle moisturizer for five million dollars at blissworld.com or Sephora. The reviews are off the hook!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955622801958754722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-55743655482412788862009-04-08T13:41:00.000-07:002009-04-08T13:41:00.000-07:00Um, I remember it a little differently. Here is my...Um, I remember it a little differently. Here is my version of what REALLY happened:<BR/>The kids had just gone to bed. Not sleeping, but subdued after the nightly rave that is known as kiddie bedtime around my place. It was a full three hours since I’d arrived home from work and I was just starting to think about maybe, I don’t know, taking off my ID badge, when Tom handed me the phone. His “It’s Lisa” could never have prepared me for the emotional beauty aid roller coaster ride I was about to take.<BR/>“Hi. You’ve got to help me. I’m at Target and they’re about to close and I’m trying to buy this Olay Regenerist stuff but I didn’t know they make, like, a million different kinds.”<BR/>Me, springing to my feet, pacing like a drill sergeant: “OK, look around. What do you see?”<BR/>Lisa: “It’s like a wall of lotions. How can they make this many different kinds?”<BR/>Me: “You want the Regenerist Lotion. It will say daytime or something and it comes in a round bottle with lots of black packaging. But don’t get the night cream. You don’t want the night cream.”<BR/>Lisa: “Round? Round? I don’t see anything round. Are you talking about the touch of foundation?”<BR/>Me: “Touch of foundation? No. Definitely not. And it’s not the one that’s little with a curvy kind of bottle. It should just be their basic Regenerist.”<BR/>Lisa: “There’s no such thing as a basic one! I don’t see anything round!” <BR/>Me: “Let me go look on the Internet.”<BR/>I go down two flights of stairs to the rec room in the basement where our computer is. Tom, who had been in the bedroom with me after handing me the phone, pretending not to listen, must have thought there was some kind of emergency at first by the decibel level. Now he is just laughing as my pseudo-emergency requires an online search.<BR/>I get to the computer.<BR/>Lisa keeps asking questions: “Is it in a red bottle? Is it the serum? Touch of foundation?”<BR/>Me: “No touch of foundation. Walk away from the touch of foundation!”<BR/>I’m scrolling around, hearing ATTENTION TARGET TEAM MEMBERS from time to time in the background. I find Deep Hydrating Lotion, which seems to be the only thing that looks like the one I bought. Then I have to make a confession.<BR/>Me: “Actually, I haven’t used this in a while. It made my skin break out.”<BR/>Lisa: “Break out? Well then what are you using?”<BR/>Me: “This stuff from Eucerin in a pink bottle. Q20. But you can’t get it at Target”<BR/>Lisa, sounding very overwhelmed, maybe even dizzy: “Q20…Q20.”<BR/>Me: “You can only get it at Rite Aid in Woodmere and I don’t think it’s worth the drive for you. Besides, you’ve been talking about this for a while. I think you should do the Regenerist.”<BR/>With the gravity of NASA engineers guiding a space arm to fix some kind of super-important machinery on the International Space Station, Lisa searches until she finds the right bottle. Even though I am not physically there, I feel like I’m part of something big.<BR/>The next day I call Lisa. “So how many years younger do you look.?<BR/>Lisa: “What?”<BR/>Me: “You’ve had the lotion for one day. How many years younger has it made you look?”<BR/>Lisa: “Oh, I haven’t even tried it yet.”janetonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-31543446043548784722009-04-07T06:04:00.000-07:002009-04-07T06:04:00.000-07:00LMAO.

I have had similair conversations with you while you were standing in the toy isle at Target. <BR/>You: Does he have the Lego Star Wars The Clone Wars Droid Gun Ship?<BR/>Me: Yes<BR/>You: What about the Lego Star Wars The Clone Wars Clone Walker Battle Pack?<BR/>Me: Nope.
