went to Sephora

I stopped by Sephora on my walk back from the gym today.  I needed to get a moisturizer and I wanted something that would go with the facial cleanser that I bought (Philosophy: Purity & Peter Thomas Roth: Gentle Complexion Correction Pads).  The girl who helped me pointed me to the Boscia moisturizer with sunscreen.  I also picked up 2 more products for skin lightening.  She recommended natural products, specifically the Ole Henriksen "truth serum collagen booster" for day and the "enlighten me pigment lightening serum" for night.  She also gave me samples for the Ole Henriksen eye cream and enzyme mask.  I got to try out a foundation too.  I mentioned that I have the Bare Escentuals mineral powder, but she suggested I try a liquid foundation, specifically a brand called NARS, but geez... $42 for a small 1 oz. bottle!  O_o  The other stuff was pretty expensive already.  $48 for each of the Ole Henriksen bottles and $36 for the tube of Boscia moisturizer.

We watched the movies Coraline and Doubt this weekend.  Coraline reminded me a lot of Pan's Labyrinth, except for perhaps a younger crowd.  I didn't really want to watch Doubt.  It frustrated me that it ended without a satisfying resolution.  I don't like stories like that because as Lawrence explained, it's not about the story.  It's about ideas, which in this case was the idea of "doubt".  Apparently Julie & Julia and The Hurt Locker were all rented out at our Blockbuster.
