Random Lol

So I just bought two creams for my face. One is to get rid of under eye puffiness and the oher is a fading cream. The Eye Fade cream is by Dagget & Ramsdell and I'm assuming the Facial Fade Skin Lightening Cream is by the same company even though the jar doesn't have a company label on it...very strange.

I bought these in the CVS store for $6. I have seen a difference in my skin with the Facial Fade and I've only used it about 5-6 times once a day right before I go to bed. I don't have really really dark acne marks all over my face, but I do have three groups of medium-dark acne scars right under my cheeks and on my chin. I can already see them lightening up and starting to fade but I also am noticing 1-2 pimples popping up near the areas that I apply the cream so I need to start getting into a routine of cleaning my face and putting on acne preventive meds again...or my monster's about to show up...*shrug* either way it's not breaking me out bad lol. So would I recommend this product? Uh...der. It starts working quickly and effectively! The only downside I have is that they don't have directions for it on the jar, only the box.

Now, onto the Eye Fade Cream...I can't say I'm seeing any results from this product just yet.If I remember correctly, on the box it said you should begin seeing results in 3 months and if not then discontinue using the product. So...if I read that right, then this products takes a while to work. That being said, I can't really give a review of it until I use it for an extended period of time. Hopefully I remember to review it later.

*I have joined my university's belly dance troupe! WOOO! So now I'll be more busy with practice and trying to not let online assignments sneak in and drop my grades down ;_; Like they already are

I did my nails like three days ago but my thumb nails, left index finger, and left pinky finger nail popped off and the design sucked so I fixed them tonight and this is what they look like right now

Also, I've been really really lazy with dressing up because I'm finding myself not liking my clothes. My mind is it "cool weather mode" so it wants to put on tights/leggings and mini skirts and boots, but it's not that cold yet ;_; So I've just been doing my makeup with whatever I wear and my hair is disappointing me as well *sigh* my skills are dwindling...so sad...

Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB

Ello Ello~

Today I will review the BB cream by Maybelline. First, let me say that I had very little expectation for this product because I'm not sure what BB creams are supposed to do except perhaps to lighten your skin (I think).

On the front of the bottle it says BB cream is an "8-in-1 beauty balm skin protector [with] Titanium Dioxide sunscreen" (SPF 30) and on the back it says "enhances skin with eight benefits in 1: blurs imperfections, enhances, brightens, adjusts to skin-tone, smoothed, hydrates, SPF 30 protects, and 0% oils and other heavy ingredients." I'm assuming that this brand of BB cream is for protection of skin rather than enhancing it.

I bought the deep sheer tint (cost about $8) and it blends very well with my skin tone and matches it epically. However, I don't see it doing much of anything else it listed :/. My skin type is moreso on the dry side but only in certain places like around my nose and between my eyebrows and this cream doesn't make those areas feel smooth or all that hydrated. I have to put on my normal moisturizer then layer this on top.

As for the blurring imperfections, it covers the very faintest of imperfections. I have dark spots on my cheeks and chin and it kind of makes them not as obvious but not by much. It does make the pouches under my eyes brighter so they don't look obvious.

Overall, I recommend just using it as tinted sunscreen under your makeup or by itself if you just want protection.
