And now that I am in my twenties, I am equally interested in finding that perfect anti-aging product to slow the process down as much as possible. The problem is that usually, these products are extreme opposites. Acne treatments dry out your skin, which ages you faster, whereas anti-aging products are extremely moisturizing and can sometimes clog your pores. Whenever I found these serums, I actually hoped they wouldn't work because they were so expensive. But then, when they rapidly started clearing my skin as well as preventing any new blemishes in a matter of days, I was hooked. I justified the price by considering the thousands of dollars I have undoubtedly spent seeking the "miracle" product and failing. At least my money is going towards something that works instead of something I'll never use again. It is also far cheaper than my last resort treatment of acutane that I have been considering.<br />
<br />
These serums alone won't be a cure-all for your acne, but combined in a regimen suitable for your skin, they can be extremely powerful. I realized recently that my skin doesn't break out because it's oily, it breaks out because its very sensitive. Not cleaning it makes it break out, over cleaning it makes it break out... It seemed like there was no answer. I tried Lush skincare, thinking all natural would be perfect for my sensitive skin. Although Lush makes great, beautiful products, they were still too harsh FOR ME. If they work for you, stick with them! I love Lush and still use their bath, body, and hair products. I have found that the all natural line specifically designed for sensitive skin at Origins works incredibly for my skin. I now use that line's makeup remover, cream cleanser, and face cream. I use the organics line purifying toner though, which is a little drying, but gets my skin super clean before using the serums. It was a free sample, so I might try a gentler toner after I finish this one.<br />
<br />
Also, before jumping into the serums, I want to emphasize the importance of asking for samples before you buy a product. Another option is look for free, travel sized products that come with a full size purchase. Those are great for trying things out without committing to the cost. I have wasted so much money over the years buying products I hoped would work, when I could've saved all that trouble by just asking for samples! Never buy anything you haven't sampled! Plus, its really fun to try different products :) I sampled the moisturizer I used now, and have enough free cream to last me a whole week. I had time to figure out if it would break me out or not (NOT), and see any benefits (LOTS). I also sampled my cleanser (important! sometimes cleansers are the break out culprit, not the moisturizer!). And I also sampled the serums.. and fell in love...they achieve exactly what they claim. I will say a few things about each before I start..<br />
<br />
Idealist: This makes your skin feel SO beautiful, I can't even explain it. It works under your moisturizer and makeup to protect and perfect your skin during the day.<br />
<br />
Advanced Night Repair: This is the real star. This calms your skin like none other and when you wake up in the morning, you'll hardly recognize yourself. I had the worst breakouts I have had in a long time (thanks to waxing my eyebrows), and within a couple of days, my skin is now free of any new blemishes and my existing ones are healing ridiculously fast.<br />

They are literally flying off the shelves within seconds of being restocked everywhere. Maybe one day soon, the novelty will die down and the waters will settle, and they’ll be easier to find. I signed up on Urban Decay to be notified when they’d be back in stock and the other day I finally got that notification. So I bought one and now it’s up for grabs!<br />

I LOVE this handcream. I have recently discovered the need for hand creams and have quite a few now. I have been using my Lavanilla body butter from last month's birchbox, Neutrogena's hand cream, this one, and my free sample of Estee Lauder's Day Wear Plus. This one is a little sticky, so I use this one before bed and the Lavanilla when I wake up. I give my hands an extra infusion of smoothness with this light hand cream. It's rich in nourishing Dead Sea minerals that hydrate and soften my skin for increased all day comfort and safeguard effectively against environmental damage.<br />

Allantoin heals dry cracked skin and blemishes<br />

This was probably my favorite thing in my birchbox this month. It was a FULL SIZED eyeshadow pan from Stila, which are quite large compared to most other eyeshadows from other brands (Mac and MUFE). This color is in Pewter which is the perfect color for a subtil smokey eye or to deepen up your crease. I have a basic matte black eyeshadow that I normally use whenever I want a really intense crease, but it seems to be a little much for everyday wear, whereas this is perfect. Its a perfect addition to my neutrals collection, because I definitely don't have anything like this color. Most greys on the market are either super sparkly, shimmery, or metallic whereas this is the perfect satin finish!<br />

It goes on lightly and smoothly, and gives me that precise definition on my cheekbones that I've never been able to master by myself. But it's not too drastic - it's perfect. Shimmery on top and warm on the bottom. I use the brush it comes with because it gets both colors on at the same time on the right place. But then to soften the line, I use my fan brush and put a little bit of whatever blush I am using that day and blend the line that forms between the highlight and bronzing shades. The effect is the perfect cheek bones with a pretty flush :)<br />

<br />
I was obsessed with Lush skin care, or at least I wanted to be... It's healthy, all natural, and fun to use. But although it did significantly improve my skin, it kind of plateaued and left me with better skin, but not the best skin I could have. It made it seem like the products weren't really doing anything for my skin, like they were simply...nice. Also, I am pretty sure that ultrabland broke me out. After my moisturizer ran out, and I realized that Lush's moisturizers break me out, I went in search of an all natural replacement for my old one. I read a lot about how great organic, unrefined coconut oil was. So I tried it, and it broke me out. Bleh. So I went on a hunt for an all natural moisturizer, and make up remover. The only other brand I found to be all natural was Origins. I found my HOLY GRAIL moisturizer and got a sample kit with a cleanser, mask, and toner. I found through this process that my skin breaks out because it is sensitive, not because it is oily, so I got the moisturizer meant to soothe irritated skin. Not only does it soothe my skin and get rid of any inflammation, but it moisturizes it SO well. Here's my new routine (read on afterwords for two mask ideas):<br />

Here's what I do in 5 easy steps!<br />
<br />
1. Concealer: Most days I use three concealers: under eye circle corrector, powder concealer to set the corrector, and blemish concealer. But on days whenever I am pressed for time, I use my powder concealer for everything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_Ag5iYIdBJyw5-1Hep0a2DiqSupJ6RiYR5Dl7hHrg4KaEgSGumnvNHiYyUr_sZYOsGVGxBjDflPS-u7Ef4fExlOzCcHEK9DMlz6PHXt7K5I6xgvlPq2KXUXZOG1GxmT4jC2rm1ZzdR4/s1600/Picture+14.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_Ag5iYIdBJyw5-1Hep0a2DiqSupJ6RiYR5Dl7hHrg4KaEgSGumnvNHiYyUr_sZYOsGVGxBjDflPS-u7Ef4fExlOzCcHEK9DMlz6PHXt7K5I6xgvlPq2KXUXZOG1GxmT4jC2rm1ZzdR4/s320/Picture+14.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>2. Powder Foundation: Normally, I use both a liquid foundation and a mineral powder foundation as a setting powder. To shorten this two step process into one, I use my powder foundation with my new favorite brush, Sonia Kashuk's Flat Top Multi-Purpose Brush, which magically leaves a medium to full coverage without looking the least bit cakey. (I am actually starting to prefer powder foundation with this brush to my usual liquid, then powder technique).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3sv6aoEVphRXf4PMmEIyV93LSSCJsypd40r8WBuEKHe4akS2B09Ylc2Nt2j3ypvUn4WZIP8jGGsBztDrf47-NnDggi4vBuSRCZV-Y__98eBHlWujZSxjm82KM8k5P0ne6SjNaXEfHMwc/s1600/Picture+15.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3sv6aoEVphRXf4PMmEIyV93LSSCJsypd40r8WBuEKHe4akS2B09Ylc2Nt2j3ypvUn4WZIP8jGGsBztDrf47-NnDggi4vBuSRCZV-Y__98eBHlWujZSxjm82KM8k5P0ne6SjNaXEfHMwc/s1600/Picture+15.png" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeO5uehUGUuQ2aUe49XQ6KwSVd4_5J3fMBOLBGSYq9vKti8kTYzdRYOMoWTjCZ5bUJLIRXEaIQL0o2QhAIvb9soaUylYiC4ang0ba3lJE_Uof2jJIxeg2IUqndismVv_BQ9gJGc6Xh7lg/s1600/Picture+16.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeO5uehUGUuQ2aUe49XQ6KwSVd4_5J3fMBOLBGSYq9vKti8kTYzdRYOMoWTjCZ5bUJLIRXEaIQL0o2QhAIvb9soaUylYiC4ang0ba3lJE_Uof2jJIxeg2IUqndismVv_BQ9gJGc6Xh7lg/s320/Picture+16.png" width="71" /></a></div><br />
3. Blush: For face color, usually I contour my cheeks with a bronzer and then apply blush. If you have to cut product, cut the bronzer. Never cut the blush! It really wakes your face up and leaves you looking healthy. Use a blush that isn't terribly pigmented so you don't have to be super careful applying and waste precious moments blending when you could just sweep it across your cheeks without much of a second glance.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIe0-9Qnk6MTBC9-P1JgTa58APDJTqqYMFI5zmFJBr6BjSps7gD2fdYKqtyFAwXZRXp4HfBYLi7k3oAA2-Jcxn4a96TnlDNlEiY8isFX8rGfb5k8FZ9VzpSpT4GMstC2Q3xSiM4xSAqY/s1600/Picture+17.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZIe0-9Qnk6MTBC9-P1JgTa58APDJTqqYMFI5zmFJBr6BjSps7gD2fdYKqtyFAwXZRXp4HfBYLi7k3oAA2-Jcxn4a96TnlDNlEiY8isFX8rGfb5k8FZ9VzpSpT4GMstC2Q3xSiM4xSAqY/s320/Picture+17.png" width="320" /></a></div>4. Eyeshadow: Eyes are where I spend the most time doing my makeup, and rightfully so. On any given day I'll probably be wearing eye primer, cream eyeshadow, and three colors of pressed eye shadow. Most people suggest a cream eyeshadow for when you are in a rush, since it will act as both a primer and a color, but that just doesn't work for me. I am one of those people who need a crease color or else I look washed out. To use one color from my lashes to my crease takes that perfect color. Frankly, shimmery colors leave me too shiny fror my own good, light colors leave me washed out, and dark colors leave me looking like I'm trying (and failing) to create a smokey eye. I need a nice matte taupe color, which I have yet to find in a creme shade. Also, creams need to be blended out pretty well, and I find it faster to sweep a pressed shadow across my lids and crease with my fingers to be much faster and easier. But, using a pressed shadow does mean using a primer, but that takes all of 5 seconds. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKu536OT0DV7NF1SbSFt2v6Db9pk5KTm9T4ZsbSvfz-xR0AIVNdMx3HZeZ27LXEqb9hyFlGIxX2fAbEojTiqraodc1KIz6Jxifa4KKPVeKRjlSD_wuolGDFfiafGQFoTS0Tsm0H5-43vI/s1600/Picture+18.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKu536OT0DV7NF1SbSFt2v6Db9pk5KTm9T4ZsbSvfz-xR0AIVNdMx3HZeZ27LXEqb9hyFlGIxX2fAbEojTiqraodc1KIz6Jxifa4KKPVeKRjlSD_wuolGDFfiafGQFoTS0Tsm0H5-43vI/s320/Picture+18.png" width="320" /></a></div>4 1/2. Eye liner: This is an optional step. A lot of people look fine skipping the eyeliner on occasion, but my particular eye shape needs a little boosting, so I don't skip the liner. However, instead of using my usual super black gel liner with a brush, I just use a dark brown pencil liner. Pencil liners are faster, and since the brown color isn't too much of a contrast from the shadow I'm wearing, I don't have to be as precise.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1D3uYV-z9os9x__-_4546TGhbx07Ug_k43L0r7RJxGEes-o7z64z61jN_9-8WNgv09ibs-GZS4Zj3yJD83Js7qJgnkTm3oEkYFsHaEwPFk-65Kvkh5mcZa4Uz6Tt7VyyFRBuPzvPJHzA/s1600/Picture+19.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

5. Mascara: The last and most important step is mascara. Typically I'll curl them and add 3-4 coats, but simply curling them with one coat is perfectly satisfactory. Just don't skip curling, or you'll find yourself wanting extra, time consuming coats.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhab9WsIf0goVG-xYeJP29DV0OSqGjtBsVqZ4oV37GMTluhVrNXP6ox7bxXN_CIApkft1AyChsF7NxfviciW39nHGPACOC36IG2EuUxL6lzNvwdh865IegRvD1VDsbZq49B2tVl93rgnTw/s1600/Picture+20.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhab9WsIf0goVG-xYeJP29DV0OSqGjtBsVqZ4oV37GMTluhVrNXP6ox7bxXN_CIApkft1AyChsF7NxfviciW39nHGPACOC36IG2EuUxL6lzNvwdh865IegRvD1VDsbZq49B2tVl93rgnTw/s1600/Picture+20.png" /></a></div><br />

This month, I have really been focusing on skin care over trying out new makeup, so you'll definitely see more skin care products!<br />
<br />
First.. All things Lush. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lush Dream Cream</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-uN7jFYhS5-gmL3s4jubC-uhMU_ZoifoUqSS4JN7Xk4xwhEyzd8bl5nFtmMOTygzbqRtAO71JZHTCA4vYb2iRJNBEM8mBp5e7ABkJIHjYh3FpGMgIgZ70ZevyDqfjfHNnWyFJYBt5Gc/s1600/Picture+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-uN7jFYhS5-gmL3s4jubC-uhMU_ZoifoUqSS4JN7Xk4xwhEyzd8bl5nFtmMOTygzbqRtAO71JZHTCA4vYb2iRJNBEM8mBp5e7ABkJIHjYh3FpGMgIgZ70ZevyDqfjfHNnWyFJYBt5Gc/s320/Picture+4.png" width="305" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>Incredibly soothing body lotion for troubled skin. Dream Cream is Lush's best-selling product because it makes sore skin feel good again. Chamomile and lavender calm irritations, reduce redness and banish blotches. We also use oat milk, too, which has traditionally been used on troubled skin for centuries. It contains everything nature makes for soothing your skin.</i> </blockquote> Why I love it: It truly smells unscented with a hint of calming oatmeal. It moisturizes like no other moisturizer. It absorbs without leaving you greasy. It simple, all natural, and it works </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lush Lip Scrub</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpMhkR_ElNn3Qq3rOPZ-o94G1XI-PIkxglRMd451dGqIWDPDNth0IAmgHx1JHk8_qDYx93yjQGx9vTMZX72HwUrcOawWCzm835VtozuSZTm3meNFWAxhZXEQ-AaAztBQlnZ67Ziwoucc/s1600/Picture+5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpMhkR_ElNn3Qq3rOPZ-o94G1XI-PIkxglRMd451dGqIWDPDNth0IAmgHx1JHk8_qDYx93yjQGx9vTMZX72HwUrcOawWCzm835VtozuSZTm3meNFWAxhZXEQ-AaAztBQlnZ67Ziwoucc/s320/Picture+5.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>It's made with refreshing peppermint oil, which will make your lips feel soothed and tingly, and sweet vanilla extract to lock in moisture and protect your lips.</i></blockquote>Why I love it: My lips never really get chapped because I put lip butter and balm on constantly, but they are never perfectly smooth on their own. This scrub definitely does the job AND it's edible! I am so guilty of using this and then licking it all off! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lush Buffy Body Butter</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5tH4gNBPtx920PnUQ4TQCjPSHEeXQOReBwgWeLNFVgHMUlmhnpP6LQu7SZEnDdYzgeiHKVPhJsh9tYLIhgTJwTA3LrTy-8AC-EQUrEhirmgA49X_BMsrnSZp6oxJKI7ZXbWwDKGpM_k/s1600/Picture+6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv5tH4gNBPtx920PnUQ4TQCjPSHEeXQOReBwgWeLNFVgHMUlmhnpP6LQu7SZEnDdYzgeiHKVPhJsh9tYLIhgTJwTA3LrTy-8AC-EQUrEhirmgA49X_BMsrnSZp6oxJKI7ZXbWwDKGpM_k/s320/Picture+6.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why I love it: This is basically shea and cocoa butter filled with ground almonds and rice. You rub it on wherever you want to exfoliate in the shower, and you're leave smooth and soft. I don't even have to put a lotion on after. I get little bumps after shaving really easily and this completely does away with it! My only issue is I wish that it didn't melt so fast :(</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lush Jungle Conditioner</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidb8ycakBoMHcR2HbdQH0Pb5eFTpFuVcpkERUaJzNrntZS4U2_QdnHxsVX-iYTSi3UxmTmv2OG3IfWmppbzj2BDX7YozZlY5D5KTdzKtNN8Oiu3pc4KcLYrEL7yzgOs5jD2Pl6IKNHO0w/s1600/Picture+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidb8ycakBoMHcR2HbdQH0Pb5eFTpFuVcpkERUaJzNrntZS4U2_QdnHxsVX-iYTSi3UxmTmv2OG3IfWmppbzj2BDX7YozZlY5D5KTdzKtNN8Oiu3pc4KcLYrEL7yzgOs5jD2Pl6IKNHO0w/s320/Picture+7.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i> Jungle feels different on your hair from liquid conditioner; until you wash it off, you hardly notice it's there. It smoothes and detangles, leaving a fruitily scented coat of shininess.</i></blockquote>Why I love it: I have been using solid shampoo and conditioner for a couple of weeks now and I don't think I will ever go back. The shampoo I use is Karma Kumba and I love it, but its this little guy that I am obsessed with. It's all natural and doesn't have those yucky silicones that are bad for your hair. It smells DELICIOUS. It is so fun to use. And it leaves my hair super smooth and shiny without making it greasy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Elf Lip Gloss</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JmFFdl4ZYze8fM6D09n8rDGwC0KFN9fsbB0dG6MROxWuovPcru1UBbtY3-XphMs4wbHAcVM7g5zoWmUqw05Ehr4amwaKs3kOp3zsiniVY9a3_gwuBsEaWYVJKhH-rqQrTVtJrVbaBtI/s1600/Picture+8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JmFFdl4ZYze8fM6D09n8rDGwC0KFN9fsbB0dG6MROxWuovPcru1UBbtY3-XphMs4wbHAcVM7g5zoWmUqw05Ehr4amwaKs3kOp3zsiniVY9a3_gwuBsEaWYVJKhH-rqQrTVtJrVbaBtI/s1600/Picture+8.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Why I love it: Where else can you find a quality lip gloss for under $5, let only 5 lipglosses for under $5!? I love how these feel on, they are super smooth and really stick to your lips, without being sticky (if that makes sense). They really stay on instead of most glosses that seem to fall right off. I love all five of my shades (the coral one is AWESOME), but the one I find myself wearing the most is the one on the far right, "Candle Light".

It smells delicious. It clears my skin like crazy. The only thing that makes me sad is how expensive Alpha Beta peels are. This one is cheaper, and better for you, than most though. When I run out of my sample that I got from birchbox, I will definitely be considering a full sized purchase. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It paired with the peel made my skin literally completely clear up over night. Its a thick moisturizer, but really absorbs into your skin. It's organic and smells like lemonade. I just wish it wasn't three times the price of my current moisturizer. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>With added Community Trade beeswax from Zambia and the antioxidant vitamin E to care for and pamper lips.</i></blockquote> Why l love it: I use this every night in my skin care regimen before bed. Its super thick and creamy and feels awesome. It's perfect to use after using the lip scrub because some other balms stick on freshly exfoliated lips, but this just smooths on and calms it down.<br />

I have been Pocahontas umteenth times for halloween, including this past one! I did a little bit of modeling last year and got to do a shoot for a local designer's website (check her out, she's AWESOME: <a href="http://rachellebriton.com/">Rachelle Briton</a>) in which I was styled as a Native American. I even went to a reservation as a child and told the nice lady who made my necklace, that I was in fact, Pocahontas. She didn't question me, a little white girl, one bit, and made me a necklace with a "P" on it! My favorite color has always been, and will always be aquamarine and turquoise. And I see many more Pocahontas halloweens in my future!<br />

Finally! I mean, it's still really short, but the pixie cut is gone and over! Okay, so I thought I would share a photo journal I kept of the long and painful process. But first, I just want to have a disclaimer letting everyone know that I am not proud of how I look during the process, that I know it's unattractive, and frankly I don't care because it's over :) So to all you struggling in the process, I know sometimes you wonder if it will ever grow.. and it will!

As I was picking out a mask, a sales associate approached me, as always, and offered to do a sit down discussion/ trial about all the products he suggested for my skin type. I thought, hey why not!

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyways! To get to the ranting... Ocean salt is advertised as a facial cleanser/ scrub. I should have known better than to try it. I had just read all over the internet how awesome it is at clearing skin. It's just awful for multiple reasons. Number one, my skin is sensitive and even when the sales associate tested it on my arm, it made my arm red. But never the less, I tried it on my face later and it hurt. There is a ton of coarse sea salt in the cleanser that I'm almost positive left microscopic scrapes all over my face. (Girls, most exfloliaters that contain crystal, sugar, or salt like scrubbies will leave microscopic scrapes on your face that are begging for bacteria to land in and cause infections in the form of breakouts. Try to stick to gentle exfloliants, and alpha beta peels to remove dry skin.) Yet, still knowing this, I still used it. Also, this product has citrus juices galore, which is great for a light acid peel, but after scraping your face with salt? Have you ever wanted to squeeze lime juice on a cut? Ouch. Along those same lines, it has Vodka in it. Alcohol? On microscopic cuts? At least it's trying to kill bacteria, but OUCH! And one last thing, its SALT. Have you ever gotten sweaty and broken out later because you didn't wash the salt off your face? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>"It's like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water, then cleansing and refreshing it with lemon, grapefruit and lime juices." </i>That really doesn't sound pleasant. They claim that it has avocado and coconut oils in it to moisturize and calm your skin. If that's true, than it totally didn't work for me. It hurt to scrub, it hurt when I took it off, it stung my face, it dried it out. I had to slather on Oatifix (my new super moisturizing mask) and apply a couple layers of moisturizer just to somewhat calm my newly raw skin. It made me have a couple of breakouts on my chin, and it left my skin somewhat dry and flaky. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Maybe this would work as a body scrub?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

As I prepare for my trip to France, this will be a great site for me to utilize when deciding what to take. I have been planning on not packing any beauty supplies, and simply buying them once I get their. But, what if I don't have the chance to get to a store for the first week? What if my checked baggage doesn't quite make it there on the right date? I think I will definitely be needing some three ounces of essentials tucked away in my carry-on. The best part is that this company carries all sorts of products, ranging from drugstore all the way to super high end, allowing any one on any budget to get their favorite products safely into their carry on luggage. Also, they provide free shipping for any orders over $30, which is a total bonus because shipping is always almost $10 anyways. I haven't used this service, or any of the products, but if I were to go through and order my essentials in preparation for a trip, here's what I would probably choose:<br />

</div>Okay, so I probably should change my blog name to "Lushsession" or something conveying how<br />
obsessed I am with that place. I think one of the best things about the store, being a girl on a budget, is how generous they are with samples. I went in today to pick up my new fresh face mask (I used my other one all up!), and I left with another mask (in a generous free sample) and another generous sample of what they call a body polish. I love how I can try anything I am interested out a couple of times before I decide if its worth buying or not. Its also a great way to try out all sorts of products for free! I also grabbed a bubble bar and a bath melt for a nice relaxing bath since the tub at my parents house actually works...<br />
<br />
First I want to give an update on the Catastrophe Cosmetic mask I tried a few days ago. Remember whenever I said how I liked it, but I probably wouldn't purchase it unless it magically cleared up my breakouts over night? Well, it did, so I bought it! I am now obsessed with this mask. It smells delicious, calms and soothes while moisturizing, and keeps my skin clear! I guess it's called a mask for catastrophes for a reason :P<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD88_ZLN677tYiZhyphenhyphensg2BtLEnr3XZupxO5N44iuGS7NqHWcf7u5eSsSJ_iFp0Lg4rVj2S-_KXudsFpGbrqb566JoU04EVtl8rgb2SEo_btXpWtWtj9v_ismW_hJZik6VkztuR38vJdyqc/s1600/Picture+17.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD88_ZLN677tYiZhyphenhyphensg2BtLEnr3XZupxO5N44iuGS7NqHWcf7u5eSsSJ_iFp0Lg4rVj2S-_KXudsFpGbrqb566JoU04EVtl8rgb2SEo_btXpWtWtj9v_ismW_hJZik6VkztuR38vJdyqc/s320/Picture+17.png" width="320" /></a></div>The mask I got a sample of is the one I have been interested called AYESHA. It has all sorts of ingredients in it that are supposed to tighten up your pores and leave your skin radiant. My first impression of this mask is that it smells strongly of the asparagus and vinegar in its ingredients instead of the honey, kiwi, and rose water. Although it's not a horrible smell, its definitely not as pleasant as the BB Seaweed and the Catastrophe Cosmetic. It was a very firm mask that was a little difficult to get from out of the tub and onto my face, but I managed. The smell doesn't stay super strong, but it definitely doesn't go away as you're wearing it. The results were... okay.. It definitely left my skin feeling tightened, but I am not so sure I enjoy that feeling. I like my face to feel super soft and moisturized. But, there are people who really enjoy feeling squeaky clean. Although this mask really doesn't serve much of a purpose to me as a night time healing mask, I bet it would be really good to put on in the morning prior to putting on makeup! I will use up my sample, but won't buy it again unless it surprises me like Catastrophe did!<br />

It's called Turkish Delight, and its a mix between a body wash and a body butter. Crazy right? It smells like fresh roses, and leaves your skin smelling of the scent for hours afterwards. You put it on, all over, like body butter or lotion before you get in the shower. Then, in the shower it lathers up in a nice cream lather and leaves your skin super clean and soft.<br />

The Bubble Bar I got is called Sunny Side and its a super scary looking, super glittery gold ball. I am not a fan of glitter at all but the smell of this bar (lemony/ organgy) was so delicious I couldn't resist. It made my bath extremely bubbly and turned the water into liquid gold.<br />
<br />

I LOVE this! It melted and made my bath water like a tub of liquid golden cocoa butter (I used it with the bubble bar). After it melted, I was left with a little bag of dried flowers, whole oats which I used as an awesome body loofah.<br />
<br />
<div id="extra2_text"><i>Each melt is wrapped in muslin, dipped in wild flowers and tied with a ribbon. When it melts in the hot water, cocoa butter softens the water and moisturizes the body. As they infuse in the water, the oats create a milky effect, which calms and soothes the skin. Cocoa butter and walnut oil melt into the bath-water, frothing slightly, leaving you a muslin bag of whole oats to give your skin a soothing and gently scented scrub.</i></div><div id="extra4_text"><br />

I have been growing my hair out from a pixie cut for about six months now and for the past couple of months, it feels like my hair has been growing super slow. I think that I have A.D.D. with my hair because I am always wanting to cut it or dye it, or do something new. I think that this growing out process has made me super bored with my hair, since there is not much I can do with it, and its not necessarily in any great style. Therefore, I find myself oogling over hair cuts I want when my hair is long enough. Anyways, I thought I would share some of the haircuts I am loving and excited to try out. There seems to be a trend of asymmetrical bobs and straight bangs...<br />

But not to fear! I got a hefty free sample that provided a nice thick mask, of which I am currently wearing. I wish I could say it is a glorious experience but I put it on right when I got home (so I didn't let it chill in the fridge). That combined with the fact that it is blazing hot in Texas and I live on the 3rd floor and sweat even with the A.C. at full blast, makes a heavy mask on my face less than refreshing. (It's not so bad if I fan my face with a magazine). I'll be back with a description of the mask and a review after I wash this off...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lush.co.uk/shop/product/product&product_id=72"><img alt="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKbcT0mOPjm3uqnElOYkpPRfooLsI0zpYPz9S-85GwA9C7_pqrt6yHfXU7XIve6KmUHhOmux28dhB7ajs9mGecnDG_ar69kep8AT6m3m8nyvpDugDFnv8eRQ5AGfA65JgHxtW_MwEbSQm/s1600/Catastrophe+Cosmetic.jpg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzKbcT0mOPjm3uqnElOYkpPRfooLsI0zpYPz9S-85GwA9C7_pqrt6yHfXU7XIve6KmUHhOmux28dhB7ajs9mGecnDG_ar69kep8AT6m3m8nyvpDugDFnv8eRQ5AGfA65JgHxtW_MwEbSQm/s1600/Catastrophe+Cosmetic.jpg" /></a></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Fresh blueberries are rich in beneficial antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to reduce inflammation and act as a mild antiseptic.

I also loved how easily it applied to my face. It went on super smooth, especially compared to my BB Seaweed and Magnaminty masks. As smooth as it went on, it was even smoother to take off. There was no scrubbing involved... it kind of just.. melted off. WONDERFUL. I also liked how it brightened my skin and removed *most* of the redness. It also left my skin super soft, but this isn't anything surprising, it is a Lush product after all.<br />
<br />
What I did not like about it is that it did not do what I was hoping to do. I still have a few breakouts while my skin care products are pulling out all the toxins, and they tend to be really sensitive and get red really easily. I was really hoping that this mask would calm them down and pull the redness out. While it did calm them a bit, it did not eliminate the redness. Boo. Also, while the mask did remove all other traces of red and leave my face nice and white, it was kind of a dull white. Almost as if I put a too-light powder all over my face. This is probably due to the talc in the mask.<br />
<br />
Overall, I am actually really glad I ended up with a free sample instead of purchasing the mask. I got to try it out and didn't have to waste my money doing so. I do really like the mask, but the immediate effects just aren't worth it. On the other hand, if my skin is magically clear in the morning.....<br />
<br />
While still dedicated to my BB Seaweed Mask, the next mask I would like to try out is the Ayesha mask...<br />

I have read that it shrinks pores and leaves skin super duper smooth. Yes please! Lush masks are so great because they have eight(?) different ones that serve different purposes and they are only $6 each and last three weeks, so they are super affordable and fun to try :)<br />

(If you'd like specifics on any of the products, feel free to ask!) Keep in mind that this is the usual, everyday makeup for whenever I feel like doing a full face of makeup. Some days, I get lazy and wear less, or none at all. Some days and/or nights, I will wear a more dramatic eye for special occasions or just when I want a little something extra!<br />

<blockquote><div class="about_col float_left"><div class="about_col float_left"><i><a href="http://www.birchbox.com/">"Every month, you’ll receive a box filled with four to five samples from luxury brands. Each month will be a different mix of beauty product types, including makeup, skincare, fragrance, body, and hair products. All samples are generously sized, with enough product to allow you to figure out if they’re right for you. You’ll also want to take advantage of Birchbox.com, which is packed with all the beauty information and tips you need, including expert interviews, helpful tutorials, and fun videos."</a></i></div></div></blockquote>The subscription service is only $10 a month and the products sent to you (deluxe sample size) seem to be worth more than that $10 anyways! This month's box had an eco-friendly theme (which I love!) Here is what I got in mine...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lavanila.com/The-Healthy-Body-Butter-Vanilla-Lavender-275-oz_p_45.html"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6LNd-kERHwBoiQsE-owSpUhIMo_1ZUWwLvhxenWZ7_ySVj8EYQqxSgDOoyPZEDZusqwGKW5svA_SADTayFgSZGKbBEUKtT_9IN_uDbwgPBqaBkW190nEZYDeut5X9_f1090JJ8W4P6I/s400/Picture+3.png" width="400" /></a></div>I love this lotion! My favorite scents are Lavender, Vanilla, and Sandalwood, and this body butter combines two of them into a yummy smell. The packaging is beautiful, the best part is that it is all natural. I actually received the 2.75 oz tube shown on the website shown above, so this alone covered the cost of my entire Birch Box and then some! I have already tried this out, and it definitely absorbs instantly as it claims which actually made it difficult for me to get enough on my legs to adequately moisturize. I could put more product on, but I want this tube to last me so I think I will just use it as a nice hand cream. I already have a body butter that I like from Lush, but I do not have a hand cream! Also, I had no knowledge of this company until now, and after browsing their site a bit, I will definitely be considering trying out some of their products, especially their candles :)<br />

Once the Lush products get all the toxins out of my skin, I will try these. I already know that I will love the peel because I have used numerous other Alpha Beta peels in the past and have loved the results, but they are always too expensive for me to keep up regular use, which will probably be the case with this one as well. As for the moisturizer, for double the price of my miracle moisturizer that I am currently using, this one better be pretty stellar for me to even consider switching. They should be fun to try out though!<br />

I got a good sized sample, about half the size of a full sized bottle, which means I got $4 worth of polish. (Birch Box samples really add up!)

"Earth" as the name of a scent made me think of dirt, or leaves. Actually the perfume is quite the opposite. It smells floral and woodsy at the same time. Its a very clean and fresh scent, but rich and comforting. It is not a scent I would pick out on my own, but I actually really love it. I don't buy expensive perfumes, usually I pick up the cheap ones at Bath and Body Works (Sweet Pea all the way!) and those tend to last forever. I have two expensive perfumes, one I got my freshman year from an ex-boyfriend (Abercrombie & Fitch), and one I got when I was in Italy three years ago (Moschino's Funny). I still have almost all of the Abercrombie perfume, that I wear only whenever I want to smell like I am wearing perfume (it smells good..just strongly of perfume), and I adored Funny so much that I ran out very quickly and I have been saving the last remaining drops for very special occasions. I think I will wear Earth until my hearty sample runs out and see how I feel about it. It will have to prove pretty special to convince me to break the bank whenever my beloved Funny has yet to be worth spending the $$$. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><a href="http://bloomin.com/"><img alt="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.215398949.jpg" height="400" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.215398949.jpg" width="355" /></a></blockquote></div><blockquote><i>Bloomin has always operated at the forefront of environmental consciousness.

I find myself wanting to talk about skin care and makeup (other passions), but it seems to just not fit with the content of my other blog. I have found that there are some people who really enjoy when I talk about skin care and makeup and some people find those posts irrelevant and uninteresting. So, here's my "From My Face to Your Face" blog. I am here for simple information, my opinions, or advice.. just take everything I say with a grain of salt because I by no means have everything figured out! I am just learning as I go, and sharing what I love/ hate about all things skin care and makeup!<br />
<br />
I want to keep my first post simple, sharing the things I use in my skincare routine. I won't go into detail on any of the products. (Just ask if you want to know more!)<br />
<br />
My Skintype:<br />
Young skin (no fine lines)<br />
Combination skin (oily t-zone, dryier cheeks)<br />
Acne prone<br />
Sensitive<br />
<br />
I have recently started using Lush products since discovering their store. What I love about them is that they are relatively inexpensive, and you can basically pick your price by choosing a smaller amount of product. The products are highly concentrated and all natural, great for your skin ingredients and a little bit goes a long way. After only two days of using these products, my skin has not only cleared up but my face is softer, brighter, and more even. Another thing I love about Lush is that I will be able to use it whenever I study abroad in France next semester because there are multiple Lush stores in Paris! Also, none of the products are liquid with a few exceptions, so travel is no issue!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Ultrabland</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="352" id="product_image" src="http://www.lush.co.uk/image/cache/data/ultrabland-352x352.jpg" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>"Ultrabland is now made with an almond oil base. Our cream cleanser takes off make-up and leaves your skin nourished. It's gentle, but the deeply-cleansing oils reach down and remove stubborn dirt and makeup. Rose, beeswax and honey soothe and moisturise the skin. Cleanse each night, then remove with a warm cloth and your skin will feel soft and smooth without any scrubbing at all. It's bland and ultra effective."</i></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

They were immediately banned by the church because their ability to alter states of mind was considered the devil's work! Rose oil and lavender oil were discovered to do wonderful things for the skin, too.

<b>Things I Want to Try </b><br />
<br />
<b>Catastrophe Cosmetic Mask </b><br />

</i><img alt="" height="352" id="product_image" src="http://www.lush.co.uk/image/cache/data/thecomforter-352x352.jpg" /><br />
<blockquote><i>"This fruity bubble bar gives the feeling of being hugged by a jolly blackcurrant.

<br />
<b>Tea Tree Water Toner</b><br />
<img alt="" height="352" id="product_image" src="http://www.lush.co.uk/image/cache/data/tea-tree-352x352.jpg" /></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><i>"Ah, tea tree: how do we love thee? Tea tree is extremely soothing and can work wonders on troubled or oily skin. We've also added juniper berry and grapefruit waters to refresh and gently tone with natural oils. Use this throughout the day to help tackle blemishes and lift your spirits.</i>"</blockquote><b> Celestial Moisturizer </b><br />
<img alt="" height="352" id="product_image" src="http://www.lush.co.uk/image/cache/data/celestial-352x352.jpg" /><br />
<blockquote><i>"Heavenly moisturiser for sensitive skin types. Although it's true that some perfumes can irritate sensitive skin, like stronger spice oils, others are really good for preventing redness and reactions. Natural vanilla absolute is one of them. We use it in Celestial for its soothing effect and intoxicating scent. Almond milk and dove orchid are wonderful for calming. This moisturiser helps to create a light barrier on the skin and keeps skin in good condition."</i></blockquote><b> UPDATE: I tried a sample of this and it broke me out. I will stick with my No. 7 Moisture Mask! </b><br />
<blockquote><i> </i><b>Saving Face Serum</b><img border="0" name="flypic" src="http://www.lushusa.com/circle/main/out/04064.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0pt auto;" /></blockquote><blockquote><i>"Saving Face contains thyme infusion to alleviate problems, while the grapefruit and lime oils tone and refresh your face by mopping up excess oils and making your skin sparkle. The illipe and shea butters moisturize the skin with natural goodness. The ingredients are more concentrated and will really enhance any other products you use with it. Massage into the skin to save that lovely face of yours from trouble, or apply before using a Fresh Face Mask to enhance the effect."</i></blockquote><b>UPDATE: They don't have this in stores. Maybe online, but I am not sure.</b> <br />
<br />
<b>Schnuggle</b> <br />
<blockquote><img border="0" name="flypic" src="http://www.lushusa.com/circle/main/out/02383.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0pt auto;" /><i>"When you get out of your night-time bath or shower, massage this moisturizing cocoa butter bar into your skin. The absorbent powders in Shnuggle make your skin feel soft and not the slightest bit oily, as though you've been sprinkled with skin-smoothing fairy dust. It's lovely right before bed because it moisturizes skin but you're saved the worry about ruining the sheets! The dreamy, soporific fragrance of lavender, chamomile, ginger and sandalwood (similar to our Dreamtime Luxury Bath Melt) will send you off peacefully into the land of nod."</i></blockquote><b>UPDATE: Sampled this and it doesn't seem to absorb well into my skin.</b> <br />

If your hair is not dry or oily or flyaway or troublesome in any way, it's classified as ‘normal'. How silly is that? It should be re-classified as ‘perfect'. It's perfectly obvious that it's ‘normal' to have problem hair. To keep your ‘normal' hair perfect, wash with this irresistible pale pink bar. It will leave your hair looking perfectly normal and smelling of fresh flowers."</i></blockquote><b>Jungle Solid Conditioner</b> <br />

<blockquote><i>"Helen Ambrosen was the first person to make a solid conditioner work. She discovered that cocoa butter will slide on to your hair to make it softer, then dissolve in water to leave it shiny and smooth. Jungle feels different on your hair from liquid conditioner; until you wash it off, you hardly notice it's there. It smoothes and detangles, leaving a fruitily scented coat of shininess. Smooth it along the length of your hair from root to tip, then rinse out."</i></blockquote><b>Update: I LOVE THIS!</b><br />
