Broke but workin’ it!

If you look at the bottom of the page you’ll see a little banner at the bottom of the page you’ll find a link to Dream View Farm I have myself some Goat Milk and Oatmeal Soap and ladies and gents this is good stuff.

I use it on my face which as I’ve mentioned before is very oily and sensitive. This soap leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean without peeling, tightness etc. Very good price as well I will be ordering more.

All in all this product gets a big A+ from me. It also worked to sooth some hives I had on my body that everything else irritated.

Dream View is made of WIN!

My skin has gone absolutely insane. Aside from a bout of the flu I have no idea what’s happened.

I’ve been using Neutrogena’s visibly even foaming cleanser. And it’s just not cutting it. My skin has been extra oily and angry for a few weeks now.

So what to do?

First thing is I will be paying closer attention to my daily water intake. After having the flu for a week and a half or so I doubt I was getting entirely enough water. And I think that the cold medication just doesn’t agree with me. Also, I think I will change up how I use my cleanser. Instead of twice a day I will use the Neutrogena at night and the St. Ives in the morning.

Lately I’ve also noticed that my dark marks have not been fading all that well. I am thinking of adding Neutrogena’s Visibly Even night concentrate.

Read some of my product reviews on MakeUp Alley. So far I’ve only reviewed Proactiv and Goldie lipgloss but look for more of those as I go through my cosmetics. Soon I’ll be reviewing Benefit’s BadGal mascara. (Purchased on Ebay for an absolute STEAL of a price.) Also a couple of Got2be drugstore skincare products.

Coming up next week buying fabulous make up on a not so fabulous budget. What works and what doesn’t. And how to try out trendy looks for less. Stay tuned folks!

All right back to the show.

Many of us ladies use one methor or another to remove the dreaded moustache. I do it too. In the last lets say decade I’ve probably used everything. From those hair removal mitts, (OW sandpapering your face is not fun), wax hot and cold, sugaring, I tried threading once and ran screaming.

Which brings us to the creams.

There are a ton of depilatory creams on the market and no matter what the hype says they do the same basic thing. They use chemicals to dissolve the hair on your skin. Many will claim to last longer etc but, how quickly your hair grows back depends on your body. However, there are some products that contain hair growth inhibiting agents check the packaging on your preferred brand.

My favorite of the bunch is made by Sally Hansen. The hair removal cream for face is my absolute favorite. Now, none of these creams smell good. Most smell like butt. The Sally Hansen cream to my mind is one of the least offensive and the tube lasts a fairly long time.

I’ve noticed that, the finer hair between upper lip and nose usually melts first so I take that off first. Also make sure you do a patch test if not every time you want to use the product at least every other time. Hormonal changes, dietary changes etc can effect your skin and how the product works and nobody wants you to burn your pretty face.

If you’re anything like me there are at least two or three stubborn hairs that don’t want to go with the rest. Don’t make the mistake of reapplying the cream right away. While the hair is still soft from the cream use a pair of slanted tweezers to pull it out in the direction of hair growth. Yes, that hurts but over time the hair may come back finer and easier to remove.

When looking for a hair removal product especially for your face keep a few things in mind. Never use products designed for the body on your face. Do not use them on your eyebrows, follow the instructions and if you are getting ready for an event, use the products a few days to a week ahead of time just in case you experience some irritation.

If it is your first time using a depilatory cream check for a product for sensitive skin and be patient. It will take a few uses to get down your timing and application. And as with anything chemical (or otherwise) if you experience serious burning, itching, redness see your doctor.

So to wrap it up Sally Hansen gets my recommendation for a consistantly good and effective product. Also highly cost effective.
