#Nice cup of ol' rosy lee

[ghostly--omens]

My favourite Alison moments are those where she has no excuse as to why she's acting strangely, no ghosts are talking over her, she's just casually using cockney rhyming slang to talk to a builder.

Skin things I’ve been loving (to be updated)

MASKS: Cosmetic Warrior & Cup O’Coffee face mask from LUSH. I am about to try their BB seaweed mask as well and I’ve tried Mask of Magnamity before and I like that as well, but do not have a need for it. --do not like: catastrophe cosmetic (too drying for my skin) -- I would like to try their rosy cheeks mask, aqua marina cleanser, and angels on bare skin cleanser.

Not buying from LUSH: lip scrubs (honestly, I don’t buy them from anywhere, I diy them)

CLEANSERS: indie lee brightening cleanser! very nice, clears makeup as well. it is much more of a “every night” product. It is less expensive than the tatcha oil cleanser, which I also love, but will be running out of soon. --post indie lee cleanser, I would love to try free the people’s kale cleanser.

TO TAKE OFF STUBBORN MAKEUP: nothing beats good ole coconut oil, it does clog pores, but I really only use it for the stubborn eye makeup, or before I cleanse in order to make the makeup less stubborn.

TONERS: I’ve used Origins Zero Oil Purifying Toner and did not like it because of the alcohol in it. I then tried Caudalie micellar water(I was really babying my face at the time) and I LOVED it. I repurchased twice, but I went through it too fast and didn’t want to put the money out a third time. So I diy-ed a tea tree oil/water “toner” which I am still using, but I am not in love. Which is why I went to TJ maxx and picked up an off-beat French brand micellar water, but idk how I feel about that one yet. I’d like to try Bioderma (cheaper than Caudalie and v loved), but its hard to find in the US... so we’ll see. I may try lush, I may purchase Caudalie again. I also picked up a mini Caudalie beauty elixir and I enjoy it, although I do not enjoy the smell, I’ve been trying to use it as an all natural makeup setting spray, but I may just have to put out for the UD all nighter.

MOISTURIZERS: I’ve been using the Ordinary oils, and LOVING them for lighter days, and using the Caudalie SOS Deep Hydration Moisturizer. I’m not looking for a new moisturizer. I use the Marula and the Rosehipseed for the face, prefer to use Argan in my hair.

Glycolic Acid treatments: I had used the DE Glycolic serum when I was “resetting” my face, but I am not about to shell out on that stuff regularly. I find the PIXI Glow Tonic does the job on the occasions I do reach for a chemical exfoliant. --I don’t tend to use a lot of face scrubs anymore, unless it is in a LUSH mask.

BODY HYDRATION: I am still working on my lotions from my teen years, all the Bath and Body Works crap. When that gets done with, I would like to use my face and hair oils (specifically the argan oil with a better smelling essential oil) for the body and possibly diy a couple of versions.

Body cleanser: I just use a regular ole bar of soap, I really enjoy this one scent, Sex on the Beach from a tiny shop called Out of this World in Cape May, NJ. But I use other bars too. LUSH brand is good, TJMaxx is great. I prefer glycerin, veggie, or goat milk based soaps for my sensitive skin.
