A Senior's Life in HS (part1)

       Life as a senior in high school is hard. Everything is happening and time seems to be your enemy. You have a lot of assignments to pass and exams to study for and the dreaded college entrance tests. Eyebags, pimples, dull skin, dry patches, etc. can be seen all over my once immaculate face. I feel bad for letting my skin suffer.That is why I made a pact to myself that I will start eating healthier and to take care of my skin more. I won't let this senior life ruin my skin.

Update on Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash

      Sadly, the Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash did not live up to my expectations. It caused me to breakout after a week of using it. I had huge zits all over my face. People noticed that my skin wasn't as clear as before and that the acne left marks on my face. I hope that Human Nature does something with their Nourishing Facial Wash. I went back to my old facial wash and my skin thankfully went back to its clear, acne-free state. Now, I'm trying to find new products to help erase/lighten the acne scars/marks on my face.

Review on Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash

       I wanted to change my facial wash which was the Neutrogena Mild Facial Cleanser because it was a bit drying for me. I decided to go all natural this time so I decided to use the Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash because of the many positive reviews about it online. So, on with the review.

Review on Dior Addict Lip Glow

          My mom and dad bought this product for me last Decemeber while we were buying stuff in Dutyfree. The sales lady said that this product would be great for me because its suitable for teens or for people who do not want to use sticky lip gloss or lipsticks. So, on with the review.

New Mixture That I Use for My Dry Scalp and Hair

www.depasqualethespa.com

                                                

    Lately my scalp and my hair has been acting up due to the humidity and high temperature here in my country and the fact that summer is already here. I've been browsing through a lot of beauty blogs that offer hair care stuff using the items found in your garden or your cup boards. So, after all the "researching" that I've been doing I found a new hair/scalp mixture that will help with my dry/frizzy scalp and hair. On to the mixture:

Ingredients:

*Aloe Vera

*Honey (Raw Honey to be exact)

*Sesame Oil

Procedure:

*For my hair length I put in a blender the gel of my aloe vera plant. I usually use 3-4 leaves of it because I want my mixture to have a kick of the aloe vera goodness.

*After putting the gel in the blender I put 2 tbsp. of raw honey and 1 tbsp. of sesame oil.

*I blend the mixture until it turns runny.

*Then, I put it on my scalp and slowly work it to the strand of my hair until I reach the tips.

*I leave the mixture on for about 30 min.-1 hour and wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner.

*You're finished!

Side notes:

*If you do not have sesame oil try using olive oil.

*If your hair is short or very long (I have medium length hair) try changing the quantities of the ingredients so that it will suit the length of your hair.

*Keep in mind that if you have any allergic reactions to one or more of the ingredients listed do not by any means use this on your head.

Review on Maybelline Crayon Liner

     



cosmetix.com



 

I bought this eyeliner two weeks ago for an event in school where some of us were required to use eyeliner. I didn't try this eyeliner before buying it because I was in a hurry to leave the mall. All I did was ask the sales lady of the Maybelline counter if they had a pencil eyeliner. She handed it to me and I paid for it without testing the product on my hand. So on to the product...

 

What the product promises to buyers:

*waterproof

*smudgeproof

*long-lasting

*blendable

theprojectawesome.net

 

 

Pros:

*It has a cap on for hygienic purposes.

*The product is cheap. (149php)

*The color payoff is great. (very black)

*Very blendable.

 

Cons:

*It is not long-lasing, smudgeproof or even waterproof on my lids.

*It transfers easily when I use it on my upper lids. (I have asian eyes)

*The product does not set well when I apply it on my waterline. It tends to give me raccoon eyes.

*The pencil eyeliner is quite short and does not have enough product like other pencil eyeliners in the market.

 

Overall: I do not recommend that you buy this but if you want to you could test it if it has a different outcome for you but based on my experience I will not repurchase in the near future unless they change their formulation for this product.
