Today I went for a veritable hen party at shoppers drug mart. It was a beauty fest and I got a bit of makeup on me. I figure I am 22 and really should be slopping some goop on my face. Plus everything was 20% off and I had freebies.
Or should I really have makeup? I think its carcinogenic for one. All that matte anti shine pearlescent stuff shouldnt be good for you. It was eternally fussy there to begin with.
This is juat to wash your face.
Step 1: pH balanced cleansing organic gel containing antioxidant
Step 2: 2-size rounded microdermabrasion granules exfoliating scrub
Step 3: Anti aging, anti sag ultra lift light purifying serum
Step 4: Vitamin enriched toner , non oil based and non sticky
Firstly, I have been doing fine with just soap. Albeit expensive soap, but generally I watch my diet and water intake when my skin looks bad. Piling a chemical coleslaw doesn't really give me peace of mind, even if its expensive.
Worrying about under-eye marks and visible pores would make anyone self concious. I dont know whether I should be in the proud party of people who simply don't need makeup and never will need any makeup, or figure I am just being a pseudo hippie. I could be in denial. Or maybe absolutely right. Maybe I should mind how I look, and makeup is a socially acceptable thing to use. But isn't it deception? Giving your bedmate a perception that you have a healthy baby-bearing glow, instead of the yellow pallor that is city slicker ? Isn't makeup just part of the beauty industry of which pays more to its marketing than to actual cost of raw 'ylang ylang jojoba organic grass etc' that its things are suposedly made of ? The cosmetics industry spends 3000% more on marketing that its r&d ! But.... I do look good under those lights at the makeup counter. Funny how I never get the same effect at home.
I just bought the mascara and lipgloss cause the bottles were pretty. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS, OK ?
