The worst my face has EVER looked

And Exuviance face mask did it. Bleh. So I decided on Saturday to try it out, and woke up in hives on Sunday. Allergy meds didn't help. Nothing seemed to. It is now Thursday and I'm still broken out to the point I'm embarrassed to go out in public. Cortizone cream has helped relief some of the heat and itchiness but gawd I wish it would clear soon! I tossed the face mask. What a waste. I do have sensitive skin but nothing has ever made me break out this bad before.


Used the shower sherbert, LOVE it! It smells so good, almost edible. And it scrubs nice and deep like I like (has sand or whatever in it for a good thourough scrub). Highly recommend it and now I want to try other scents! I'm such a shower junkie when it comes to scents.


I started using the Bliss youth cream but stopped when I broke out, so I have nothing to really report on it yet. I do like the way it feels though!


I also started using the eye cream, Cures by Avance, but ditto on taking a break from all face proucts for the time being. I had used it a few times with no noticeable results.


The Pur-lisse lip nourisher is definitly a favorite, though at $22 a pop I wouldn't buy it again (I'll stick to my $1 Blistex), but it does what it says it does; keeps my lips smooth, unchapped, and white gook free!


My book of the week is The Mysterious Benedict Society. It is a YA book, but I <3 it! Its full of puzzles and riddles and adventure and mystery! I highly recommend it to all!


I'm also a fan of Night Train, a movie I just watched. Its about a passenger who dies during route and others conspire to keep his treasure. It was so much more than I expected, so much better than even that simple plotline and dark and gory. If you're a fan of mystery, gore or sci-fi, I highly recommend it!

New BeautyFix and Bounce!

Well, it's been about a month since I started using the Bounce bar and it's getting to the end of the bar. Honestly, that's really good (for me). I do so much laundry, often multiple loads per day plus the bedding at least once a week, so I'm surprised it's lasted this long! Is it woth the $5.49? To me, no. I usually buy dryer sheets for about half that and they last me a few months; one reason being that I reuse them, another being that there is so much you get off one sheet, to where the bar keeps releasing. But I do love the product and I would buy it if the price dropped, it went on sale, or I had a coupon.



I got my second shipment of BeautyFix today! It's exciting, like Christmas an additional four times a year. Here's what I got; Shower Sherbert in Papaya Nectar - it smells GOOD, cannot wait to use!, Skindinavia Makeup finishing spray - bleh, I'll test and review it then pass it on to my sister, Decleor Instant Radiance Moisturiser, Bliss The Youth as we Know it anti-aging cream, Degree Sexy Intrigue Spray (it smells chemically), Pur-lisse lip nourisher - this was the first thing I put on!, Cures by Avance age defyer eye cream - I am most excited to see if this works, Juara tea toner, SpaRitual Lotion and Nail Polish. Wow, seems like a ton this month, 10 items! Well worth the cost IMHO. I'll review back about how they each work.
