Just a silly girl trying to live a healthier life. I love to cook, craft, garden, read, travel and spend time with my wonderful husband.
So I was organizing my makeup collection the other day. My husband looked at me from his computer desk, horrified.
I’m officially on a makeup no-buy for the entire month of February (With the exception of a couple MAC collections coming out next week… haha I’m terrible I know.) My goal is to use up as much of my current stash as possible and buy very little.
I think I have a problem.
So I purchased my first BB cream today. I have been thinking about trying one for awhile, but wasn’t sure where in the great white north I could find one, and unwilling to pay out the wazoo to buy online. Luckily, after doing some research I decided to do the slightly risky move and buy one on Ebay. Now, I know there have been many reviews of fake products and sellers, most of which are primarily based in China. From what I have read the seller I chose seems to be legit, from Korea where the products are made and reasonably priced to boot. I’ll keep you updated on the authenticity when it arrives in a few weeks.
The main reason I decided to take the plunge is because my skin has been absolutely horrible ever since I got pregnant. Even more so in the past few weeks. It seems like no matter what I do, I can’t prevent the painful cystic acne that has been erupting in my T-zone. Ryan has dubbed the biggest one yet, my “second chin.”
I’m hoping the BB cream, which was originally developed to soothe, protect and cover post chemical peel/surgical skin will help prevent and cover breakouts as well as fade some of the imminent scarring I may have.
What do you think? Have you tried a BB cream? Are they as awesome as so many people claim?
I finally got a collapsible makeup case after having to dig through the drawers in my bathroom for years. It’s still not big enough for all my stuff.
I got into higher end products when I was in hair school and have been specifically a MAC fiend ever since. There’s something about makeup when you are not so happy with your body, it always makes you feel good about yourself and when you are in a mall and none of the stores carry your size, there’s always the MAC counter or drugstore.
Unfortunately no matter how gorgeous your make up may be, it doesn’t take away that fact that your tummy is big, your ass is too flat and you may or may not have an extra chin.
Sometimes though, it does makes me forget about my flaws and gives me the confidence I need to get through the day, so I count that as a good thing.
