just blah blah

i've had a headache all day

i also need to take my ginseng

i am still playing with my skincare
but
i think i will not end up with a bunch of steps
and
i think i will be doing this facial on all days off

i'm trying to decide if i have to abandon the snail cream
or if i can work it in somehow
if the little kernals of sebum it brings out
which i tend to pick at and get spots
if those are a sign of purifying the skin
or if they are irritation

the sleeping mask
[which was a delux sample, ie. small]
is the product i really like
it's only 15% mucin, but it has all kinda stem cells and baobab extract
it's slightly ointmenty texture and it seeps right in
it feels very hydrating
and i was using it last week as a first step after cleansing
not as a sleeping mask
and
i think i don't like toners
so i cleanse with this kick ass cleanser
i've been using it since beginning of january
it like eats your face and then soothes it with mucin
[which is what started the whole snail craze for me
only this isn't snail mucin
it's some kind of phyto-mucin]

then i put on a thin coat of snail sleeping mask
then the serum made by the same people as the cleanser
[isa knox x2d2 recovery 28 day turnover]
then ddf advanced firming cream
[which is super expensive {$130.}, but i bought from amazon for $35]
i've almost used that up, but i really like it

if i wear bb cream, or sometimes at night
i do the shea butter-tamanu mix
but if i don't wear any makeup i've been doing that combo
with eye cream samples from history of whoo
which are nice
but
not something i will be able to afford i think
and not amazing, anyway

at night i use the l'occitane oil
and then either the isa knox serum and ddf
or the shea butter-tamanu

i'm kinda obsessed
i want to find the perfect routine
the one that will make me age in reverse

i have another thing coming from missha
http://www.missha.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=588&category_id=13&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29
i get it free for their birthday
because i ordered $100. worth of stuff
which it doesn't seem like i'm really able to use
so fingers crossed with the night repair
[canadian site had the best description]

i really like the isa knox
and they have an "elastic" cream
that i am tempted to try when the ddf is done
the packaging is not all that appealing
http://www.amazon.com/Isa-Knox-Elastic-Power-Cream/dp/B005H4AW1Q

what is with the purple
and gold and fancy shapes
i know it shouldn't matter, but i would like them to look more
neutral, minimal, whatever
this is an appealing looking product to me:

and
this is what i'm basing my facial upon
[i've never used eve lom]
except mine doesn't have mineral oil
and i use different essential oils
manuka, tansy, yarrow
but
why can't skin care look like this
beautiful, simple

i'm weird huh
