While having blonde eyebrows is a blessing in many ways, it does have some challenges. For most of my life I ignored my eyebrows. Even now I rarely pluck. However, I did learn that trimming my brows (as many individuals do) is not something that works for me. Once my brows are shortened there is just not enough hair for them to show up. This means I am relegated to a life with my long curly blond brow hairs. This was sometimes a nuisance, at least until I discovered brow wax. I would rate this product 9/10 I apologize for the delay in this post. I have been dealing with some soreness, that was primarily self induced. I have been investigating new work out routines for a while, and have found one that works for me. However, since I have just begun the workouts my legs and arms have been giving me a bit of trouble the past few days. I am sure the achiness will be gone in no time. Any way, on to what this post is supposed to be about. Green labels on products and there meaning. While there are several ‘green’ labeled products there is primarily one labeling system in the United States. The Green Seal is the company that certifies products are up to standards (dictated by the green seal company) and are doing minimal damage to our environment. In other countries there are other labeling systems, these will be seen by products produced within those countries. That being said, I wanted to do a short introduction to Green Seal. I will allow you to draw your own conclusions, and provide you with a link to their website at the end of this post. However, I did want to answer a few of the questions on the top of everyone’s mind. These include what the standards are, and how we are keeping green seal honest. This is going to be a 5 part series discussing 5 separate books that have had a profound effect on my life. These are all books that I have read multiple times, possibly to the point of being to recite them completely from knowledge. Despite having a preference from non-fiction books, all the books that have made my favorites list are actually fiction. As the first book I figured I should go as far back with my favorite books as possible. This leads me to a time when I was young, and much more willing to re-read books over and over. One of these books that I returned to time and time again was The Phantom Tollbooth By Norton Jester.
I am not much for crafting. While I do enjoy it, I tend to abandon projects rather early in the process. This is typically because I find a project I want to work on more, or am just kind of lazy. In this case I was sort of backed into the corner to do this project. I figured if I was going to put in the effort to do the project I should do it right.
Tarte was my initial foray into cream blushes. I was not only enamored with the color, but also the ease of use. A push up product, that would not require my hands or any tools seemed too good to be true. I can assure you that it is not to good to be true, but it can be a bit finicky. I would rate this product 7/10
I got this a while back as part of one of those monthly beauty subscriptions. At the time I had been signed up for Beauty Fix since it gives the individual a chance to pick the products they receive. One of the options was this polish, offered in either this color or a light creme pink named airhead. Since I have enough light pink creme polishes to last me a life time this seemed like something a little out of the ordinary for me. For the most part I have rather enjoyed this polish. I would rate this product 7/10
I have been using this product for several years, and have gone through at least 3 containers. This is one product that I am not even tempted to stray from. For many this product is not necessary, it really is simply for those who have extremely dark under-eye circles. For those with light under-eye circles a regular concealer should suffice. I would rate this product 9/10 This may be common sense, but it is something I only recently discovered. During the end of May and start of September it is usually rather warm in my apartment, and I am left without air conditioning. This over all is not to bad, but it makes my legs dry and itchy. While a simple moisturizer solves the issue just fine I have found a delightful secret that is that much better. During the Summer I stick my body moisturizer in the fridge. This serves two main purposes. Not only does the cool lotion help cool you off on the warmer days, but it also helps with the itches. As anyone who has had dry itchy skin will know while moisturizer can help it takes some time to start working. Depending on how dry your skin is it can take several days for the itching to go away. That being said, the cold lotion provides a temporary reprieve from the itching while the moisturizer gets a chance to take effect. While this is not an exhaustive list of all the good, and bad, blushes that there are out there. This is simply from the blushes that I use. So do not feel insulted if you do not see your favorite blush here. It simply means that I have either not used that product or it simply did not work for me. The Good: Jouer – I have recently reviewed on of their blushes (Review here). As I discussed in the review their blushes are extremely finely milled and well pigmented. The only negative is the limited availability, since they can only be purchased online, and the limited color range. |
