its been Tooo looonngg: Germany, DIsney, and a rainbow!

Been awhile since I've posted but fear not! I am here. 

I've been quite distracted by Borderlands 2 (working on a nail design for that), I was also planning one for pirate day but....video games are my weakness I swear! I may post one later anyway.

BUT! I do have some new polish I tried and some that I still need to try. 

and I did my FMIL(future-mother-in-law) hair. So with the lovely tip I got, I treated myself to new make up!

I also got six new shadows for .40 cents each at Sallys for their end of the month half off the clearance sale.

I also got a cute little package of a winter nail strip. Has lovely snow flakes on them.

These are a few of my favorite things (on my face)

*insert inappropriate jokes*

Alright got that out of my system so on to my favorite and will forever use facial cleansing items.

All Clinique.

Mild Liquid Face Wash, I love this stuff, never drys out my skin helps it feel soft and lasts forever, I usually have to buy it once a year.

You don't need very much because it lathers really well, i use about 2 pumps.

Mild Clarifying Lotion, doesn't really burn or make my skin react harshly to it, so I prefer this over astringents. it gets used a bit faster with it being an open mouth to a cotton pad usually so it takes about 3-6 months before I have to replace it, but I actually haven't yet and need to.

:I

The dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion, is the most fantastic thing  I own of these. I haven't replaced the first one I have gotten in years, one pump maayyybbee two is all it takes to spread ion your face and neck

(I use the dot method and then spread) and your skin feels so soft and smooth. It has never clogged my pores or had any outrageous effects on my face and that is why I always use it and will always recommend it to anyone looking for a good face lotion. 

Some other favorites :

Lush Sea Salt , a fantabulous scrub whenever my face needs one this is what I use(If I have it) 

Lush Eau Roma Toner, a nice, refreshing toner I used in the past and I really enjoyed it, if not only for the smell and refreshing feeling.

Yes to carrots C the difference Seems they don't offer this any longer and that is sad. I have two Jars from a Yes to Carrots Party that my friend had gotten to throw and I really loved the mask. I am sad it is gone. It doesn't irritate and comes off pretty easily. The Size of the product though is a small hole in a big can. 

Yes to Carrots Cucumber Cleansing Towelettes  i've only used these once because they are pretty expensive (Usually use store brands, ELF brand, or F21 love & Beauty) but boy they are refreshing. I have a weakness for cucumbers anyway so that may be why I show my love for this product. Removes well enough (but I don't wear a lot of make up regardless) and just feels nice. 

I may add more choices later but these are the first to come to mid.

Next will probably be my Second Pink Wednesday and then another installment of These are a few of my favorite things (on my head).

Review! WalMart Masks Freeman Pomegranate

I actually used this one a while ago and never wrote it...until now!

I did this one with my roommate and it was okay. I guess I'm not a fan of the peel-off since it was pretty annoying to remove but I know i'm impatient and messy enough already without having to do a peel that makes me feel like I'm removing skin (and some vellus hair with it) from a sunburn. My skin felt fine after the fact, clean and smooth, but my skin rarely reacts to much except for salicylic acid and some really greasy foods. Otherwise I'm just a little red in the face. 

My skin is combination with dry patches so I try to get moisturizing masks as often as I allow myself, but I don't continually do treatments since I do not have the need. So to me this treatment wasn't worth the pain, but it was a $1.37 at Walmart so I'm not hurting financially over it, I have a couple more peel off and mud's to try so I'll see if the fruit used has any difference, but I doubt it. 

My roommate liked it though, it didn't have a high adverse affect that I could see and she said she enjoyed the process of taking the mask off and the little hair it removed. Dries clear(hence the look of peeling skin as well) and if you over apply in places it can take even longer to dry and make the peeling process even more of a pain. I know I avoided my hair but the mask still ended up in my hair and felt like glue stuck in it. I don't remember it being very tight on my face but I was aware when it was mostly dry.

Overall:

If you enjoy peeling masks I say go for it! No points marked off for it beauty potency, I just hated peeling the mask off. Give me a Wash Cloth and water any day!

See you soon!

Review Time! Mask and Pore Strip

While I was sitting and doing nothing I decided it was time for some face care stuff!

I rummaged through our Bathroom Junk Drawer ( you know where all the random bathroom stuff goes) and found a Beauty mask I had purchased at Forever 21 for a $1.80. It  comes with two pouches for two treatments and is fairly easy to open. They are perforated down the middle horizontally. 

the other thing to note is the English directions are on the top packet so if you don't think you'll remember the directions either look here (as I am about to post them) or use the bottom one first. 

(picture not my own)

So I decided to try it and let ya'll know What I think. 

The directions:

1. Apply Mask to dry face with dry hands evenly over face avoiding eyes and lips

Make sure your hands and face are dry, wet skin may prevent the mask from lathering.

2. Leave until the mask lathers.

3. Massage gently with fingertips for 30-60 seconds to cleanse

4. Wash off with lukewarm water and tone skin.

So Its kind of a pearl, gel and you spread it on your face and it actually lathers pretty quickly.

You rub it and it becomes foamy more than lathery and can dissipate if you go for too long. I needed a wash cloth to get it off as it kind of spreads if you splash water around. 

My face felt pretty dry after word and I was disappointed but after letting it fully dry and set in my skin feels really soft and the peach smell is so nice. 

Overall

 it worked for my skin. It feels clean, soft and doesn't seem to be having any adverse affects on my skin.

The price is pretty great too, I can definitely afford a few at $1.80 each. I will definitely try their other products. 

Biore Pore Perfect Strip

Tried and true classic. I'm more interested in others opinions on this but I'll give my own. 

Easy to put on, easy to do other things while waiting for it to "cement" and kinda hurts to pull off pulls off a lot but I feel it doesn't always grab everything it could, but it gets the job done. 

Should not be used by people taking medications such as acutane. 

I also know that doing it too often can lead to gigantic pore issues and them clogging up worse than before. I only use it once in a while. Usually when I super begin to notice my nose and dark tiny spots. 

Overall 

A classic solution to blackheads but I encourage anyone with a beauty school near them to go see the estheticians for treatments and advice at a low cost.
