Update on skin

Warning! Life rant ahead: Sorry about the slow postings guys, I`ve just been really busy, after almost two years of abuse I walked out on my job, so it was pretty stressful on me (but I didn't break out XD), but I wasn`t too worried, I knew I would land the first job I got, so I ended up getting three interviews exactly one week after quitting that shit hole, and got the job on first interview I went to. 

And right now I am working at a little bouquet, selling 400-800$ dresses, making two$ more then I was at the other place, and I also get a 2400$ clothing allowance twice a year. For good reasons too, I have to wear the clothing from them, it a blouse alone in like 150-250$ 

But I`m happy, and it`s a lot more peaceful, I`m already a supervisor there <3 and the reason I left my old job was, not only cause I was treated bad by one (and the only) supervisor and my boss, even though I was the hardest worker and did the most hours, but because everyone I works with already treated me like a supervisor more then the one we had even, but my boss refused to give it to me, and we NEEDED another one. 

So I said, you know what, FUCK THIS! I deserve better, I am pouched constantly by other business wanting me to work for them, but I stuck with you guys because I had hope things would turn around.  Needless to say, my friend who still works there says things have only gotten worse, and she's thinking of quitting, as are two other girls who were really upset when I left.

ANYWAY! I wanted to do a little update on my skin, as some of you might recall a few months ago I went and got my skin checked out and started using my "Goodness in a bottle" Neova gel. Well Needless to say, my skin is so wonderful now, I know it is still not perfect, but In the mornings I don't even wanna put on makeup because I feel it looks so nice (compared to how it used to look), but old habits are hard to break and I still like using makeup, but I can leave the house without any on, and I've been doing it quite often, only really wear it to work. My pores are smaller, and the dark grey lines I have had, and tried to get ride of for years are starting to lighten. SO Here is a new before and after picture.

(click picture to enlarge)

And these pictures are both NONPHOTOSHOPPED! Only 7 months ago my skin was this bad looking WITH heavy coverage foundation and my scars are almost all gone, skin is so much more even, pores smaller discoloration fading. I've also lost 20 pounds <3

I used to cry from how bad my skin was, but now I feel like crying because it`s finally the way it should be. Yes I know it`s still not perfect, but if I could have this for the rest of my life I will die happy. Wearing the same kind of foundation in both pictures, it`s around 4 in the afternoon a few hours of wear in both, Natural light, (right) In car, (left) in front of window.

 NOW! For the real kicker, the NEOVA gel I had been using, I hardly use it anymore, maybe once or twice a week, and only if I feel like a pimple is coming along. I used to use it every day, then every other day, and now I hardly use it, and my skin has stayed just as good, so I personally feel like it's fixed my skin deep down enough that my skin is just becoming naturally good from the care I always give it, and the problems that had been so deep are now gone, and all the care I give it is paying off. 

I will keep updating you guys on how it is doing, and once I get enough followers I will be having a giveaway, and I think one of the gifts in the mix WILL be a bottle of the Neova gel. Just because it seems like a very hard item to come across I believe it only sells at cosmetic clinics. And I think it's something that could really help another girl, or guy, who is struggling with bad skin and truly depressed about it.

SaSa Haul

I buy from SASA way! Too much, and last week sometime I got one of my parcels, I thought it was time to start doing halls, sense today I actually got another one XD. This haul wasn't anything too big, I actually just needed refills of a few item's that I use on an everyday basic. And sense I only order when it's free shipping (though you always have to spend at least 29$ or more to get it.) I bought a few extra things with it.

The box was actually pretty big, I have to try and through them away as fast as I can, because My grandmother is kind of a hoarder when it comes to boxes, cause she always says she's going to sell the house, but she's been saying that for years and just keeps stoking up on boxes. I hate not recycling and everything but if I keep it around it will never leave the house. 

Sasa are great with wrapping and protecting their products for when it gets to you, I have never once had a problem with them and I have ordered at least 10 times from them. 

The only thing I hate (which  is the reason everything is probably kept so safe.) Is those damn packing peanuts, they get everywhere when I'm pulling by stuff out

Left to Right

Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner: Black

C+M Pore controlling face wash

(top) Sasatinnie hand lotion: donuts

(Bottom) Laneige sleeping pack

Essential shampoo: Nuance airy (refill)

Aquamoist whitening C toner (refill)

 I have been dieing to have the Laneige sleeping pack for YEARS! But everywhere I found it to buy in person and online it was like 40-60$ Sasa was actually having a sale with it on for only 22$ And I jumped on it, I'm so glade I did too, tried it already and this stuff is amazing!

 Funny story about this, I actually have been craving donuts for a while now, but because I'm on a diet, I havn't really tempted myself to go out and buy some. So I thought Oh this will be nice. I was actually disappointed, because this stuff smells ok, but it doesn't smell like donuts (Everything EVERYONE on the reviews were raving about the scent and how it smelt so much like donuts) It smells like cinnamon candles, and I don't like cinnamon.

 I have very long and thick hair, and I only wash it once a week to keep it healthy, gross I know, but my hair does not get greasy easy, and it doesn't smell, during my depression years I actually did go two weeks without washing it a few times, and it still never smelt. Anyway, So to wash my hair I use a large amount of shampoo each time, but this stuff is wonderful. I will do a full review on the full line.

Just my everyday toner I use, great stuff, I love all of Aquamoist products, I use their toner, serum, lotion, and I have their face wash too.

(Sorry about my gross looking nails, I took off green sparkly nail polish and it stained)

 This was actually only 3$ and it's pretty big, and you only need a little, so I thought I would try it out, and it's actually a pretty good gentle gel cleanser

I have been in desperate need of a good new liquid eyeliner so I can actually try doing gyaru more often, so I thought what the hell, I've heard great things about this and so far, it does work very well <3

Anyway, I'll get reviewing these things right away. Till next time <3

Review: MBD Mask: Royal Jelly Mask

I love sheet masks, anything to keep my skin soft and hydrated, I have soo many! Too many some might say, example.

Though I guess many may have much more then me, if so, I am jealous! Anyway, on to the review. 

Over the past month, I gave a few different masks to some of my coworkers and friends, and told them if they like they liked then, I could order them some. My boss ended up getting me to buy her two boxes, and my friend Dana wanted the honey ones from My beauty Diary. So I placed my order from Sasa.com Which I have concluded I am addicted to, considering how much I order from them. I have promised myself, not to order from Sasa for one month! I am already having withdraws lol. Dana and I ended up trading a couple of her masks for other ones I had so she could try them and I would try these ones.

My beauty Diary: Royal Jelly Mask

Prince: 13.00$ Canadian

Packaging: I wish I would have taken a picture of the box before Dana took it home, because it was soo cute! It reminded my of old school Winny the Poo. Probably my fav, out of packaging, of all the MBD masks

Scent: Probably my fav from all the MBD masks I have tried, kind of sweet, milky candy scent.

Effectiveness: First off I want to say, I`m kind of a health nut when it comes to skin, mostly because I`m tarrified of aging, and yes, I know there is no way to stop it. But you can slow it down by trying to do the right things. The reason why I wanted to try these, is because honey is soo good for your skin, honey is a miracle food, it never goes bad. My grandmother had a huge pail of it down in her celler years ago, that she would go down, and get a cup from, and she had it there for probably 20 years and it was still as fresh as the day she got it. Bacteria cannot grow in honey because all things being equal, bacteria loves sugar. The unique chemical composition of low water content and relatively high acidic level in honey creates a low pH (3.2-4.5) environment that makes it very unfavorable for bacteria or other micro-organism to grow. When I used to have bad breakout I would use Honey to help and calm them without drying out my skin.

 After using this I didn`t see much the moment I took it off, but it stayed moist for very very long, after an hour it was still very wet, I didn`t want to take it off, but I figured it was already on for so long. In the morning my skin did seem softer, a little brighter, firmer. Looks like I have another new fav, I`ll have to buy myself a box once I`m off my anti-Sasa month lol.

Over all Rating: *****

I have soo many things I have to review, tell next time guys <3

Skin is finally getting

So, as I mentioned in my last few posts, my skin as been getting much better, I actually went out to the mall, (Just quickly to return a pair of runners) Without putting on any coverup or bbcream, I haven't been able to leave the house without a full face of makeup in years! I haven't been getting hardly ANY pimples what so ever. And my scars are finally having a chance to heal up. I'm really happy. That stuff I've been using in a Blessing.

But I'm sure there is more to it then just using this product. Sense I haven't been getting very many pimples, I haven't had the urge to pick, there for touch my face. I haven't had to wear as much makeup, there for less oil and clogged pores. I still keep up with my skincare routine regardless of how much better it is getting. I still love and care for my skin, and I would even if I already had perfect skin.

Both pictures were taken infront of my window with natural light. The one on the left, is from 6-7 months ago. And the one of the right (no makeup) If from about an hour ago.

Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated, ALSO! My sister FINALLY sent me my damn camera, So i can not start doing reviews and taking pictures!

Review: Neova smoothing gel

First off, I want to say, sorry guys for not posting anything, I feel bad. But my sister STILL hasn`t sent me my damn camera! Hopefully, sense I`m heading up to Edmonton for the weekend, help my dad move out there, she might drive down to see us while we`re there. AND! Bring my camera. She`s just been way to lazy to go and send it to me! So, forgive me for the crappy photo quality.

Anyway, in my last post I mentioned about a exfoiletor I was given by the doctor that checked out my face.

I wanted to give it some time, see it if was worth mentioning, and it was.

Neova: Smoothing Gel {Glycolic acid 10%} 59ml

Price: 38.97$ Canadian 

Description: This is a, Powerful 10% non buffered glycolic acid gel exfoliates surface cells, stimulates cell turnover, and faces visible signs of photodamages. This gel refines skin texture, reduces pore size and prepares the skin for maximum perpetration of treatment products to follow.

Though it is a small bottle, for 40$ I think it is worth buying, I've had it for a month so far and I think I have a little over half left, using it ever other day. It is an acid so instructions say to only leave it on your skin for no longer then 3 minuets, before washing it off well with water. It does itch like crazy if you leave it on longer then 4 minuets.

Effectiveness: This stuff works wonders! I mean it, I haven't had this clear of skin in SOOO long, no, my skin isn't perfect yet. But this really helps in keeping your skin clear of dead skin that can cause pimples, and it's very gentle on the skin but high powered. I've only had maybe 4-5 pimples sense I got it about a month ago, no painful cystic pimps either <3, I did feel one coming on, about three days ago in one of my old problem areas, but I used this two nights in a row, and now it's gone, and I didn't pick! So no red marks.

A part of me is starting to think maybe I might not need the operation is this keeps working as well as it has been.

My skin is staying clear, so I'm not being tempted to pick at it, and it's finally having a chance to heal properly without experience more breakouts, my pores look clearer/smaller, my face feels plumper, and brighter.  And my makeup goes on much smoother, and lasts the entire day without looking like crap at the end. I got home today and looked in the mirror and was like, WHOW! It looks like I've only had my makeup on for maybe an hour or so! (The foundation and blush parts, my eye makeup had started to smear a little lol)

Pros:

- A little goes along way, a dime sized drop covers the entire face

- Makes skin super smooth

- smaller looking pores

- calms pimples fast (WAY faster than even using a zit cream or tea-tree oil)

Cons:

- It is expensive for a bottle so small (but so worth it!)

- It makes you want to scratch your face soo badly when it's on (It is an Acid, so it burns, but it doesn't hurt as much as it makes you really itchy the last minute out of the 4 you have to wear it for.)

Regardless of the price, before I run out, I'm hoping to go back there and buy two more bottles, just so I'm stalked up.
