The economy is ruining my complexion and it doesn't have anything to do with worry or stress (though I'm not saying I don't have those). I am breaking out like a teenager. Before the economy tanked I was going along happily using products that worked well for my skin. Things were good and I was happy with my routine. Then the downfall started.
First my favorite make up line went bust. No longer do I have a light non-greasy feeling foundation option. Supposedly they might be able to keep an online thing going, but they have not brought back the products I really use like foundation and powder. I'm still using the bottle I got before they stopped selling them and I plan on getting every drop I can out of it. I've been using this stuff for 9 years and I have never liked anything as much. Grrrrr...so annoying.
As if that wasn't enough my moisturizer has been discontinued as well. I wrote to the company asking why I can't find it anymore and they said they have had to re-work their product lines to concentrate on their most popular products. This is no small company either. I won't mention it by name because this isn't really about the company, but more about the fact that my skin is suffering a great deal and I'm not happy. I don't know about your skin, but my skin likes certain products and it was doing really well while I used this moisturizer. I've tried lots of moisturizers and "skin systems" from really expensive ones to ones you get at the grocery store. I was really happy with this one and now it's gone. I thought the one I'm using now would work well because I like their facial cleansers, but no such luck. I'm waiting for the supposed "adjustment period" to be over, but looking like I'm a hormonal wreck is starting to make me feel like a hormonal wreck. Gah! No wonder being a teenager is so hard. At least this time around I've got a husband who loves me no matter how much my skin turns on me.
I would also like to note how unfair it is that I have to deal with pimples and wrinkles at the same time. STINK!
**disclaimer- I am complaining a lot, I know. I am also aware of the people who suffer way more than I do with chronic or life threatening illnesses. I am simply venting my frustration and do not mean to discount my numerous blessings. So, if you were thinking you'd admonish me for feeling bad for myself when there is so much suffering in the world there is no need....really.**

My mom's pretty broken up about Prescriptives too... she's been ordering whatever she can get from the website for awhile now knowing they were going bust. I will also be bummed when I run out of my foundation... I use it rarely though, so the bottle I have is still pretty full. :(
Have you checked Ebay? Or are people price gouging with the stuff already?
Jay checked Ebay and they were already charging at least double for my lotion. I didn't check for the make-up. I'm still holding out hope that they will bring the foundation back.
