Natural Beauty (part 2)

This is the second installment in my natural beauty product installment; since I have a short attention span, I'm only featuring one product (or related products) a week. A month or two ago, I bought a tube of mascara from The Body Shop because everyone knows about The Body Shop's great reputation and, honestly, it was on sale. Anyways, I brought the Super Volume Mascara home, a little nervous of how it might hold up. So far, I like this product, and I will most likely buy it again because it is such a decent price. It does a great job of spreading the lashes out, so my eyes look enormous when paired with eyeliner. The only complaint about this mascara is that it easily smudges within the first five minutes of application. So when I apply, I try not to blink or close my eyes until it dries. One morning I had an episode with my contacts and watering eyes...it was an awful mess of raccoon eyes.

Skincare Sunday #1: The Body Shop Cucumber Cleansing Milk and Freshening Water Review

I've decided to start doing Skincare Sundays, because my skin always manages to look its worst on Sundays (after 3-4 nights of sleep deprivation, heavy drinking, Taco Bell fourth meals, etc.) Also, I'm a sucker for alliteration.

On to my review of the Body Shop Cucumber Cleansing Milk and Cucumber Freshening Water: Let me go ahead and apologize for how ratty these bottles look, but I make it a point to actually use something for a few weeks before giving my official opinion. Okay, now on to my review: These products are amazing. Like holy grail, performed a miracle on my combination skin, freaking amazing. The Cleansing Milk is so creamy and cool and refreshing, and the Freshening Water evens out the oiliness on my nose and forehead without over-drying my cheeks and jaw like alcohol-based toners do. I don't know what else to say about this duo except that you need to go get both these products immediately.
