Skin care journey 9/19/13

This is turning out to be a tough journey for me!!! 

Popping pimples and touching my face are terrible habits but I know i can get through it! 

I have been testing out new products and I can't wait to share them with you! 

This week's challenge is to move your hands AWAY from your face. 

Love the skin you are in, blemished or not!

Eat something good for you EVERYDAY this week! 

Until next time lovies!!!

Makeup emties!

Revlon Color-stay liquid foundation was definitely a well loved foundation! Covers pretty decently and definitely can last a long time! I have pretty oily skin and I did need to blot and powder once throughout the day.

Will I repurchase?

Sadly no, I have been experiencing some hard core acne and the scarring is CRAZY I need more of a FULL-COVERAGE foundation. 

I definitely recommend this for someone who needs Light to Medium coverage!

Smashbox photo-finish eye lid primer

It's okay nothing special and definitely not worth the splurge 

Elf's has a great eyelid primer for $1! 

Don't waste your money or time because I WON'T

My skin care journey

As you may or may not know, I am an AVID pimp popper, skin touch bruise causing person. It's a TERRIBLE habit. I hope to walk away from this life changing experience with SEMI clear skin. I am currently typing this blog post with, dry, over exfoliated skin, 2 newly popped pimples and seriously scarred popped pimple that hurts. SHAKING MY OWN HEAD, I am a grown woman who can't resist the urge to POP A BUMP! UGH.

I am currently researching how to resist the urge of popping and what damage I've already done to my skin thus far.

I am taking you on a journey with me to STOP POPPING, start living and start caring for my face!
If you too are battling with acne and popping those pumps travel along this road to success with me!

I will keep you guys posted weekly with my new research.

Calm down!

As you may or may not know I currently work Part Time at an Aveda Experience Center which is essentially an Aveda store! I am a Beauty Advisor woo hoo!

This weekend was a special one! Me and a manager were on duty at another store in our mall offering guests FREE HAND MASSAGES AND MAKEUP TOUCH UPS. If looks could kill I will be dead 1000 times!! A few ladies did sit down with us to chat about stress levels and new makeup that Aveda has but as for the majority, death looks! 

Do you have time for a relaxing hand massage today?

Ooh that's cute but no...

So this leads me to my conclusion about America and stress. People in America CHOOSE to be stressed, I'm convinced! Take the stick outta your ass chill out and unwind a little LIVE A LITTLE lol. 

I just found it funny that no one was receptive to a free 1-2 mins of relaxation. We should've charged $5 then maybe they would've really stopped over lol

August/September Favorites

Mac's cosmo has been my go to color! I love the amplified formula from mac and this your lips but better shade is perfect for everyday!
