Growing Kale: The Virtuous Vegetable
5 years ago
This one time at band camp...I was having one of those "the only way I'm every going to get to sleep is with a bullet" nights and flipping through 900 channels of nothing I found myself enthralled by an infomercial for Dermacia cosmetics. Makeup that stays flawless even in water?!? *squeal* I thought I had found the holy grail! So I placed my order and 7-10 days later I received what I thought was the makeup I had been waiting for all my life.
( here's where the sad music starts playing like on a very special episode of The Brady Bunch where Cindy finds out that there really is no Santa Claus)
I started this blog because I wanted o give honest reviews about products out there that I have actually tried. Although I wish I could say that I love everything, there are those products that are so disappointing they get the eye roll they deserve before they are thrown under the sink to live in shame.
OK so here's the poop...Is it really all that bad? I'll give it a meh.
First of all it looks so nice and creamy when it comes out of the bottle but good luck trying to smooth the foundation all over your face. I don't know if there is some sort of weird chemical reaction when it touches skin but as soon as you apply it to your face it turns in to what I can only describe as "putty". It is suggested that you first apply the face lotion that they provide but that too evaporates as soon as it comes in contact with skin. On the infomercial they show women with horrible skin conditions such as severe rosatia, scaring, acne etc...whose complexions became instantly flawless with the application of Dermacia. My skin is far from perfect, but it's not THAT bad and I was annoyed when I found that Dermacia couldn't even cover a tiny little blemish.
So I contacted customer service to tell them of my woes and they suggested that I try applying the product in LAYERS! Are you kidding me?
So, being the optimist, I tired it and it was like I had covered my face in cake icing. The feel was so heavy and uncomfortable I washed it off after 15 minutes.
Sorry Dermacia but you get the pout!
**EDIT** Oh yeah it really is waterproof, good luck trying to wash it off sucka' !
I got this great face scrub recipe from my friend's mom and I have tried it a few times and really liked the results. I was thinking of whipping up a batch tonight and so I thought I would also pass along the recipe for those girls who are brave enough to try some homemade beauty.
Olive Oil & Sugar Scrub
Olive Oil
Raw Sugar
Coffee Grounds
Vanilla Extract & Lavender Oil for scent
There really is no right and wrong measurements here. I usually scoop about a cup of raw sugar & about 1/4 cup of used coffee grounds and mix together in a small jar. Then add just enough olive oil to cover the sugar pour in a drop or two of vanilla extract & lavender oil (you can add more or less depending on the smell you like) put the lid on the jar and shake. The mixture should resemble a medium paste. You can add more olive oil as needed. I would only make a small amount because the mixture only lasts for about 3-4 days. Happy scrubbing!
