Under the Sea: A Tutorial

And now I'm back with a look! Albeit a look I posted on my youtube channel over a year and a half ago, but better late than never!

And again, my bad camera face rears its ugly head. Awesome.

Eyes:

·         Too Faced Shadow Insurance

·         Urban Decay cream eyeshadow in Moonshine

·         MAC Gorgeous Gold

·         Wet n Wild Blue Had me at Hello (all colors except for grey)

·         Merle Norman Dusty Rose 

       

Lips:

·         Revlon Candy Pink Lipstick

·         NYX lipgloss
 

So this is a look that I did January 2012 that featured the Wet 'n Wild Blue Had Me at Hello palette.  I really liked this look and actually wore it a couple times. It never ceases to amaze me how good blue looks on brown eyes. Oh, I guess I'll link the video here.  Bare in mind, this video had awful lighting. Terrible. It kept turning orange!  Ah well, it still wasn't too bad...hopefully.

Anyway, tell me if you're excited to see another look from me, because I have a couple pictures of one that I might post.  I probably will even when this post gets not comments on it.  Well, I'm happy to be blogging again, either way! Oh, and I'm setting this post to post on the first day of school for me. Wish me luck with Senior Year!

LUSH Fresh Farmacy Facial Cleanser

 I'm baaaaack!

And no, now with a look, but with an incredibly unhelpful review! Whoopee!

 

LUSH's description: Feel like you have the world’s most sensitive skin? Allow us to prescribe you a bar of Fresh Farmacy, our calamine-based cleansing bar. Fresh Farmacy contains chamomile extract to calm, rose and lavender to soothe dry patches and tea tree to clear up any blemishes. The name stems all the way back to the beginning of LUSH, when we held a competition to name the company. Although we (obviously) went with another option, we thought the name appropriate for our problem-solving cleanser.  

So, I bought this cleanser on a whim as my first ever LUSH product when I saw it on someone else's blog.  I thought that if this product could solve my skin woes, then it would definitely be worth LUSH's infamously hefty price tags. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

First of all, Fresh Farmacy is not a bad product. It's simply a gentle facial wash with a lighty herb-y scent. Nothing more, nothing less. It has something like little seeds in it that act as a very mild exfoliant if you rub them in to your skin a little. I would usually apply this product early in my shower and leave it on for the duration, because it was a little bit moisturizing when used that way. It's nice, but that's it. Nice.

This product did nothing to soothe my angry teenage acne. It did nothing to remove my plentiful scarring. I used it religiously for a while and all that I can say is that it cleaned my skin without harming it. Now, since I've had it for a while and I haven't stored it in an air-tight container, it's gotten crumbly and hard to use.  Could this have been prevented? Probably, but I think it's worth noting.

Anyway, I recommend this product if you have sensitive skin, and I don't if you don't. Because I don't and I think that this was just a waste of money.

Do you have sensitive skin?

PS: I'm not sure if posts will ever become a regular thing on this blog again.  I'm about to become a senior in high school, so I have an incredible amount of other things on my plate. Makeup just isn't the passion in my life that it used to be. I don't need it artistically like I used to. That being said, it's still a part of my life, and posts shall surely be periodic, and certainly shouldn't be six months apart like these last two, but I just don't know what's in the future for this blog. That being said, I do have posts coming up, so come back if you're interested!
