Argan oil is supposed to be a game changer for many people but I've never tried it. I've had the worst breakout I've had in about three years and I swear it's the stress of worrying. That Buffet with copper peptides in three treatments has already reduced redness and sucked up oil, and the zits are on their way out. The rest of my skin feels very smooth. I'm still in bed so I can't tell you if I look glowy from it today! It's supposed to be for aging skin but I'd also read amazing things about its redness control, which I need with my rosacea. Is it better than regular Buffet? I don't know yet. 

I may have to try it.  I know i have dry skin because after i wash and put on moisturizer then oil, my face is red like as if it's been really dry and just got some moisture.  Like you hands get if you wash them 10 times before some lotion.  The rosehip oil worked really well, just had too much rose essential oil in it.  Bothd hubs and I were like, ew for the smell. 

 

Maybe you're right. Maybe its just stress.

Sometimes it is best not to take makeup hype at face value, literally. Having read several articles and multiple reviews online of the lash-growing serum GrandeLash, I got a deluxe sample to see what

Well you may have been well suited for tbone.  But he does cheap out on food so if a coupon accompanying date to Burger King sounds up your alley, at least you know of a good alternative if things don

I know! All it took was throwing money at the problem. I'd have done it a while ago if I had known that's all it took.

Spring?

 

It's snowing.

Not here. We had the window open last night.

 

But tomorrow is only 62F, much more seasonable. Spring here, which is kind of infuriating being stuck indoors.

 

Anything you have your eye on in the sale? I've started filling up my cart. Alex has asked for a new scent, and I said sure, I'll get you one. Get me some of that Drakkar Noir, he said, and I told him (1) Sephora doesn't stock Drakkar Noir and (2) ew, gross and (3) not actually funny. He said everything old is new again, what with us having the plague currently.

Sorry it's still snowing out there. It's probably what's left of those rains we had all last week.

First round of ordering placed (because UM this is the beauty thread) in the Sephora sale:

 

Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (I am done experimenting with finding a new medium-to-full coverage foundation)

Moschino Toy Boy Eau de Parfum (this was a request from someone who lives with me for himself)

Maelys B-Tight Lift & Firm Booty Mask (this was a request from someone who lives with me for me because he is curious what a booty mask will do on someone not himself which I should possibly take as an insult but will not)

Urban Decay eyeshadow primer (still the best)

Dr Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment with SPF 30 (recommended by a fellow rosacea-sufferer as being amazing at toning down redness)

Amika Blowout Babe Thermal Brush (I have been looking at this tool for a year and wondering if I want it -- I'm going to see if I can actually make it put waves in my hair that stick around)

KVD Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lolita (I used to wear this but haven't in a while)

 

Will give reviews on the stuff new to me, which is everything except the Double Wear, eyeshadow primer and lipstick.

I worked out and did day 1 of the c25k challenge again. So my beauty advice is to be physically active!

I need a good acne spot treatment. But i bought myself some new cowboy boots and jeans for the barn. My butt looks good. Lol
