I'm not in a bad mood, but feeling frustrated. I'm headed to the mall today to return some makeup I bought over the weekend. Ordinarily that would not frustrate me but this is the 3rd time I've had to do this task in the last couple of weeks.

I cannot seem to find the correct colour foundation and powder. Every combination that I've tried in the last 2 weeks has left me with orange skin. UGH! Not attractive. Not at all.

I currently use the Clinique line of cosmetics and have been for almost 2 full years. I really do enjoy their products. But I cannot seem to find a good foundation and powder. Don't get me wrong, I'm basically a walking advertisement for Clinique makeup, but I think I'm gonna have to move over to enemy lines. :-)

I am considering trying either Estee Lauder or Lancome today. I'm really interested in both, but have you seen their prices?!? Woooooo! One of the things I have enjoyed about wearing Clinique makeup is that they have reasonable prices for being high-quality makeup. For foundation at Estee Lauder, for example, it will cost me $28.50. Clinique's most expensive line of foundation is only $18.50. But, I am willing to pay a little extra if I can find a foundation and powder that will match my skin tone and give me a flawless look.

It shouldn't have been this trying of a time to find a perfect match. I mean I'm a fair-skinned, Caucausian woman.... I'm the "average" colour skin. Sheesh!!!

So, that's my mission...to find the PERFECT shade of foundation and powder at a new cosmetic counter today.

Don't I lead such an exhilirating life?!?!? ;-)
