Memebox's Korean Beauty Starter Kit - Troubled Skin DAY 04

So...I think it's working? Here is a picture of my skin this morning after I had done the routine next to the one from the first day.
I don't know why the lighting is so orangey on the one from today.

You can clearly see that there is significant less redness on my face today than there was on Tuesday. It is also much less irritated and sensitive to the touch. There even seems to be a little bit of brightness to my skin that isn't oiliness. You can also clearly see that I don't know how to make faces when taking a picture.

Some miscellaneous thoughts I had about the products the last few days:

--I cannot stress how concentrated the cleanser is. It only takes a tiny amount to foam up my whole face

--The aloe does smell a little weird, kind of....I don't know. I can't explain it. But it's not a terrible smell and it doesn't linger

--All of the products are incredibly light. Especially the peeling gel. It hardly feels like I am putting anything on my face at all. As someone with oily skin, I really appreciate that

--I tried the BB cream included in the box. I will update this post later with the name and a picture of it. I like it! It's got a tint to it, and it evens out my skin nicely

-- I will try out one of the masks this weekend most likely

--My skin has also been noticeably softer, at least on the parts that don't have acne on them right now

--No, I don't know why only my right cheek is acting up. My forehead is pretty rough too, but that specific cheek is bad

So far this is going very well! We'll see how it goes. I wonder if I will ever have the clear skin I am hoping for.

    Hey, we get acne on the same cheek! Twinsies forevs. I know mine is from sleeping on my right side and not changing my pillowcase often enough (and probs from not washing my makeup brushes as much as I should) - but since yours just started....hrm............................................................................

      Well I try to wash my pillowcases when I do laundry. Also I toss and turn a lot so I have nooo idea which side I usually sleep on. But I am really bad at washing my makeup brushes. But that wouldn't explain why only the one cheek!

One month into marriage

 This post is not about marriage. Very few things of the last month have lined up with my expectations for this period of my life. And before the chorus of "well duhs" come in, hold on a sec and listen to my rambling.  I didn't expect to be in my mid-thirties. I didn't expect to meet on an app. I didn't expect to be in Kansas. I didn't expect my dad to be dead. And I didn't expect that my sister would hate me. Hah! You thought this was going to be another post about my dead dad, didn't you? Nope, sucker. It's a totally different emotional and depressing familial scenario. I mean the dead dad thing still sucks, don't get me wrong. Especially at this time of year. But this is a whole separate kettle of onions, can of worms, giant stinky mess. I know that just by writing this (and inevitably posting on my Facebook), there's a chance my sister will see this and get extremely angry and make yet another post of her own on FB talking about how wro...

This is my Nightwish

It started with four songs. Over the Hills and Far Away, Wanderlust, Nemo, and Sleeping Sun, mistakenly titled “Eclipse” on the file I had. I cannot tell you exactly when I received them, or the name of the person who gave them to me. All I remember is that it was 2005 (possibly 2004), and it was a friend of a friend I met on Neopets. Wanderlust especially intrigued me because I was deeply into Dragonlance and it reminded me of kender. Over the Hills and Far Away was cool. I have always wanted to write a short story about the plot of that song. I want to say my version of Sleeping Sun was the 2005 version, but I am not sure. Either way, I adored it. I still think of it as “Eclipse” sometimes because for the longest time, that is what I thought it was called. But of course, Nemo is what won my heart. How many of us say the same? There is just something about that song that draws you in. You get lost in it, enfolded in its haunting beauty. It is easily Tarja’s best song and one ...
