Girly Project Restart
Aug. 23rd, 2012 09:13 amI was doing well. Really really well. I was remembering my oils and creams at night and properly toning/moisturizing in the morning. However by the end of PGA week I was too damn tired. I even stopped conditioning my hair for a while just so I could sleep a few minutes longer (seriously I have that shit timed).
Well I'm nearly back up to speed. My hair and nails are looking pretty boss, and my morning routine is back. All that's left is to work on the evening stuff. Interestingly enough, I think it's the evening that gave me the most benefit. I've been using a to-be-released promo I got from Tarte. It's a facial oil meant for nighttime use and I have to say I really like it. Part of me is screaming 'you have oily skin and you're ADDING OIL!!', and for a few days I had some breakouts. However after my skin got used to it I noticed a big difference in texture and moisture. The only down side is the process takes a bit and if I'm worn out I'm very inclined to skip it. That's very very bad because the more nights I miss the bigger the odds of another breakout when I restart. I'm considering waiting until after D*C to do this so I don't have to worry about covering pimples.
I'm also done with all of my 'old' samples. That's not to say they were actually old, just that they were obtained before I started keeping track. I did have to throw a few away that had gone bad though. Boo on me for letting that happen. :(
So what's the next step? Hair products. I have plenty. Mousse, serums, sprays, lotions, and potions! I can think of at least 10 different brands/products sitting in my bathroom right now. I found a Hello Kitty notebook while digging for con stuff last night so I'm going to use that for a Hair Journal because otherwise I won't remember anything. This is serious business! :D
