Got to try and not spend a fortune today even though Debenhams have 10% off beauty and fragrance…

Really feel like fucking topping myself sometimes. Why can’t anything in my life just go ok? Not even good but just not shit would be nice

Is it meant to kind of… sting? Tingle? Burn?

Seriously getting fed up of bad skin

My first Glossybox has been dispatched! Can’t wait to see what little goodies I get!

Oh I must also mention, Liz Earle so far is exclusively the only brand where every product I’ve tried doesn’t irritate me. I’ve tried five different products from her range including cleanser, toner, exfoliater, treatment mask, and moisturiser. So I’m very impressed!

I have ACTUALLY found a moisturiser (other than my Clinique Dramatically Different lotion) that doesn’t irritate my skin!! Hallelujah!

I’ve been using the Liz Earle Hot Cleanse & Polish thing and liked it, so I bought a sample of the toner off eBay and it smells divine, so I thought maybe I should give the moisturiser a go, if it doesn’t work I can sell it on. So I got one off eBay and tried it yesterday… very tentatively… and it didn’t cause any reaction!!

Now normally with most moisturisers or other products I can tell within seconds if its gonna work or not. Sometimes I can even tell by the smell or consistency! Within 10 seconds of applying my face (or hands or whatever) will go bright bright red, they feel like its on fire, like its burning, or really itchy, but you can’t scratch it because it kind of feels like pouring lemon juice and salt into a wound, but all over. Its kinda like when you scrape your knuckles and then put them in hot water. Its like tiny pins stabbing you all over. Its painful! Its raw. Its horrible. It only seems to affect areas that are normally exposed like my face, neck, hands, and up to my elbows. The rest of my body is fine! And it never used to be anywhere as bad as this til I started working at the hospital.

But yes, its brilliant! Unfortunately another expensive product but if it works it works. At least now I have another option. And I do have to mention that when I woke up this morning my face and neck felt so soft and I don’t know if its just wishful thinking but my blemishes didn’t seem to look as bad.

Gave the beauty blender another chance. Used it Monday because my brushes were dirty and I don’t hate it as much as I did at first. Still prefer brushes though! Used it Monday and Tuesday and went back to my Real Techniques stippling brush today. Also went back to try wearing my Loreal colour match foundation for a couple of days… the colour is great but it just doesn’t cover as well as my Estee Lauder Double Wear.

Also, so full of spots at the moment and its pissing me off. My chin looks like an avalanche.
