I recently made a quick stop into a Sephora, armed with an article, I'm pretty certain, I lifted from an AARP magazine (stop snickering) with recommendations for cosmetics for "aging" skin. 

"Concealer", the twenty something year old salesperson suggested. "Do I apply it with a tongue depressor or a paint roller?" I queried. She smiled politely and scurried off. I was on my own.

The upside of this was I knew that I would get a bonus gift to accompany the raft of useless and unnecessary and probably never to be used products I, no doubt, would purchase.

And I really like getting free gifts.

My gift was Bliss energizing lotion. Its like an Alka Seltzer for your skin. Squeeze out a dab of slightly gelatinous looking stuff into your palm, apply to your face, watch it bubble and foam, wait five minutes until you can't feel you face and then wash it off. 

Voila, you're taut, sparkly, refreshed, rejuvenated and clear that any product that tells you not to use it more than 3 times a week is probably dangerous. 

So what, it was free.
