❤️Favourite Beauty products from 2022 Countdown ❤️

Favourite skincare products of 2022

Hi all,

This week I am posting Monday - Friday to show you all my favourite makeup products I have been loving in 2022. Today we are looking at my favourite skincare products I have used the most in 2022. I have really made an effort this year to be kinder to my skin and give it what it needs which in turn has let me enjoy more sheer to light coverage makeup products. Let's start our countdown:

Charlotte Tilbury Glow Toner - This toner has been a real go to of mine this year. The toner is multi purpose and not only gives my skin a glow but makes my skin smoother and cleans any dead skin from my complexion all at once. After using it for a few days I could already see a massive difference in my complexion and how well my makeup applied on my face. Such a great product highly recommend.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Light - We all know I adore Magic Cream but this year I have been leaning more towards Magic Cream Light because it is a more lightweight formula and preps my skin perfectly for makeup. It absorbs really quickly into the skin and since it's a lotion instead of a cream it sinks into the skin quicker. If you have oily / combo skin you might prefer this formula over the original version.

Kiehl's Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion - I have been using this lotion as a spot treatment this year and it has worked wonders for me. When I apply it to a blemish , it dries the blemish out and 2 days later after consistent application the blemishes is either gone or looks 10 times better. Once this sample runs out I'm buying a full sized version asap!

Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jelly - Again with the multipurpose products this cleanser is such a dream to use, not only does it remove my makeup it also gives my skin a deep clean with every use. Without fail this product has made my skin so much smoother and using a 2 in 1 means I don't have to use as many products in the evening to still give my skin a good deep clean.

Caudalie Vinergetic C+ Instant Detox Mask - This face mask is total magic, if you need a facemask to give your pores and skin a deep clean this is the one for you. The first time I used it you could see how much dirt it lifted out my skin, it was both impressive and weird at the same time. I saw this mask on TikTok and honestly totally understand why this product has so much hype, if you are looking to change up your routine why not give it a try!

Hope you enjoyed this makeup favourites countdown and I'll see you again tomorrow.

Lots of love

🖤💙 4 days until my Surgery 💙🖤

(Picture taken Dec 9th, 2023)

I'm very very excited for my surgery (it's my second gender affirming surgery but this one is more significant to me since it'll be top and bottom surgery) and I'm obviously counting the days until it and I thought some people might be interested in my trans journey 🏳️‍⚧️ So see part 7 below the cut.

Part 1 here

As the summer was ending, I got really lucky! A lesbian hairstylist (who helped organize the drag show I went in the last update) gave my name to this sales lady who sold accounting work to like companies and she needed help with researching CEO and CFO types. And she paid me out of pocket and honestly it was pretty easy internet research using Google. I felt like a little rat scurrying across the Internet 🐀 So, thank you lesbians 🙏🙏

(Picture taken Nov 6th, 2022)

Apparently I really impressed her so she got me hired full time as a sales admin for her company (I wouldn't have gotten with my lack of a college degree without her) and I've had that job since! And a lot of my transition wouldn't be possible without the pay and benefits of this job. Also this is my first job where I get gendered correctly and I'm slowly getting less anxious about going to the bathroom at work 🥰

She honestly mom'd up on me and bought me a bunch of new business casual clothes for the job. And here's an example of one of my new work outfits 😁

(Picture taken Nov 14, 2022)

Bc of the new job I was able to afford a lot more things for transitioning! Like voice training. I remember when I first cracked I tried to just teach myself using videos but I wasn't good at it 😅 Also a friend during the summer of 2022 helped me and I did make some progress with her help. But, I started making a lot more progress once I started seeing a speech therapist. But, there was a barrier since I could tell she hadn't worked too much with trans people. I went to a speech therapist bc it was covered by my insurance but she moved and then I couldn't find anyone for insurance covered speech therapy. So, I eventually just paid for lessons Your Lessons Now. And, honestly it's going a lot better! It's really nice to be able to talk about my frustrations with voice training with another transfem. The biggest thing I'm learning from here is how to break the bad habit of pitching up my voice by squeezing my vocal chords.

(Picture taken Sept 8th, 2023)

I had also switched to injections and I highly recommend it! A friend even made my first two vials into earrings 🔥

I also got a lot lazier with makeup 😅 I do eyeliner wings, mascara, and blush for when I go into the office. Which for a bunch of accountants means I do about as much makeup that is normal for the women in the office 🤷‍♀️

(Pictures taken October 31st and December 2nd of 2022)

These were two notable exceptions. I really love the makeup I did for the Halloween of 2022 bc I decided to go as a ghost-type trainer. And the one on the right is when I learned how to use concealer to cover my 'raccoon eyes' as my dad liked to call them 🦝

Also this would be a good time to mention something I probably should've mentioned earlier 😅 I never learned how to use foundation. I know it's easy but I have a weird mental block around it 🤷‍♀️ But, in the summer of 2021 I started doing twice daily skincare routine for my face. Which took me from a very acne heavy face to people being surprised I'm not wearing foundation. Also the routine is really nice. Would recommend to those who want to get rid of their acne (send an ask if you want to know specifics).

(Picture taken Aug 20, 2023)

Romance update since I've been doing that lol: Well, things ended with all the girlfriends I had so I am down to 1 partner. And I got caught in a romance scam for a few months 😭 However, I can't really complain because I got engaged!!! It was so sweet in cute. My partner and I had this date the night before Valentine's Day under a statue outside of a local art museum. We read sapphic poetry by candle light and then they popped the question 🥰🥰

But, I say another big part of this era was I made a lot more local trans friends. Went to a good amount of house parties which would've surprised pre-transition me! And I really love my community of queer people I've been building 🥺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕

(Picture taken July 21st, 2023)

Oh yeah!! I also started laser hair removal at the beginning of 2021 as well. Which was before this era but time is a lie. But the new job definitely made it easier to afford.

The biggest step for my transition was getting my surgeries set up!! And my FFS (facial feminization surgery) marks the end of this era. Below was the last picture I took before my FFS.

(Picture taken Feb 17th, 2024)

So, in my next update, I'll be showing my post-op pictures once most of the swelling went down. See you tomorrow!! 😁✌️

Redesign of an OC from 2022. Rosemary, a kindly and reserved village cleric. Had kind of a messed up childhood, his older brother was a nasty guy & was banished by their father (and subsequently became a vindicator), and then his home village was raided when he was a teenager. Rosemary is traumatized from that fateful raid, and he refuses to talk about it to anyone. Youngsters in the village don’t really know why mister Cleric freezes up when he hears a horn blare, or an axe hitting wood.

He is very pious and primarily worships Knowledge. However, ever since that strange player who calls themselves Steve showed up in the village, he’s begun to pray to Foresight too, for the future seems uncertain. He’s also a massive nerd and will talk your ear off about alchemical history.

Also he looks really young here but he’s in his mid thirties. I suppose he just has a killer skincare routine.

☆ bio | connections / pinterest / timeline

Sana Isara Martens has always dreamed of fame and fortune, craving the glitz, glamour, and adoration her parents embodied as stars of the entertainment world. However, beneath the shiny facade of her upbringing was a darker reality. Her father’s betrayal at fifteen and her mother’s harsh words left deep scars, leading to rebellion, expulsion, and a stark shift to life with her grandparents in Briar Ridge. Determined to escape, Sana pursued acting in LA, but harsh critiques and a scandalous reputation plagued her career. A tumultuous affair with Alex Caldwell, a married lawyer who helped her break free from a controlling contract, left her vulnerable and shattered when their relationship—and her pregnancy—became tabloid fodder. Struggling financially and emotionally, Sana ultimately gave her daughter, Emmy, to Alex, believing he could provide the stability she never had. Reinventing herself as a social media influencer, Sana built a following by twisting her narrative, projecting strength and glamour while masking her pain. Now, hearing Alex has moved to Briar Ridge, she returns under the pretense of finding Emmy but with revenge and unresolved feelings driving her. Complex and contradictory, Sana is a glamorous storm—broken yet magnetic, selfish yet yearning for connection—determined to rewrite her story, no matter the cost.

timeline:

1992: sana was born

1996: sana and her mom move to LA when she's three

2007: she's kicked out of school at fifteen & forced to move to briar ridge with her grandparents

2010: graduates and moves back to la at eighteen, pursuing acting

2012: lands her first soap opera role at twenty

2017: moves to NYC at twenty five to pursue theatre after her reputation goes downhill, labelled a 'bad actress'

2018: lands a small broadway role at twenty six

2020: meets alex caldwell at twenty eight

2022: gives birth to emmy and several months later, gives her up. moves to LA

headcanons:

Inspired by Gabrielle Solis (Desperate Housewives), Alexis Rose (Schitt's Creek), Jackie Burkhart (That 70s Show), Summer Roberts (The OC), and Kathryn Merteuil (Cruel Intentions).

A fan of cheesy rom coms, and cries dramatically at endings — though will vehemently deny it if asked.

She has a TikTok and instagram following of about 800k people.

Her most popular video outside her discussion about a "previous relationship" aka Alex, is her 10 step skincare routine. Allll about self care.

She always checks her lipstick in reflective surfaces.. windows, spoons, her phone screen.

Girl has a voice and can sing.

Does not believe in casual attire — she's almost always overdressed.

Smells like a mixture of vanilla, honey and caramel.

Sana's obsessed with tarot cards and astrology. She acts all skeptical but secretly believes in all of it.

Speaks fluent Thai. Though she rarely speaks it in her day-to-day life, she’s fluent and slips into the language when she’s angry or overwhelmed or talking to herself.

connection ideas:

HALF BROTHER: He is 5 years older, and half white as per the Martens side of the family.

FANS: Either of her soap tv time, time in broadway, or social media followers.

NEW YORK CONNECTIONS: give me all the NYC connects! she was in new york from 2015-recently.

LA CONNECTIONS: She technically grew up there 'til she was about 15, then she moved to BR. She returned to LA when she was 18 until she was 23.

BEACHFRONT NEIGHBOURS: Your girl is currently renting a nice apartment overlooking the water. I want all the neighbour connections.

COUSINS: Must be at least half Thai (her mother's side)

PARTY BUDDIES: Someone who's willing to let loose with her, though she's actively trying not to.

CASUAL HOOKUP/FWB: Self explanatory. Your girl isn't one for commitment.

EXES: Maybe from her earlier New York days, or her time in LA.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS/HIGH SCHOOL PARTNER (BR): I'd love some connections tied to her childhood summers in Briar Ridge, or the time she spent in BR from 15-18.

Seriously what was your skincare routine from 2019-2022? You can tell u were on skincare gamee. skin flawless glowy n all. if u have any pictures of the products. ✨

I believe I was on Accutane then. Used a gentle face wash, sometimes Paula’s Choice, and Cerave pm moisturizer. Super simple.

[lifblogs]

I have been thinking a lot about what I went through in the fall of 2022 lately. Probably because it was traumatizing, and what do you know, it's fall.

For those who don't know, I developed a painful, deadly illness called Stevens Johnson Syndrome in October 2022, and was eventually hospitalized (thank fuck) for it in November 2022. I beg you to not look this illness up, to not see the images. You will thank me for not doing so. It's horrific to look at, and even more horrific to be in a body that looks the way it did. Basically I felt like I had the flu at first, or maybe COVID. My mémère had just died, and I got testing done because I didn't want to go to the wake and funeral and risk getting everyone sick. I think I went through two weeks of that. It seemed to mostly go away in November. But at my dad's place I started to get itchy. And that's when it all goes downhill.

Stevens Johnson Syndrome is a severe, drug induced allergic reaction that causes a necrotic skin rash. Basically, you get a red-purple rash, feel like you're burning, your skin dies, and it falls off. This leaves a lot of room for infection to get in as well, and I had several (and the pitted scars to prove it).

I suffered for a long time, seeing doctor after doctor after doctor, and no one was helping me. I started wanting to kill myself from how much pain I was in. My skin literally felt on fire. There was heat coming off of it. I felt so hot a lot of the time. Movement hurt. Clothes hurt. I'd scream while taking the cold showers I was recommended to take (though I actually shouldn't really have been showering at all).

And my skin was coming off. I had a million open wounds on my body, a ton of burnt skin. It was a literal nightmare. I was given pain meds and antipsychotics at the hospital so I wouldn't try to kill myself from the pain. Sometimes at home the only thing keeping me alive was The Lord of the Rings.

What's interesting about this whole experience (aside from the fact that if the doctors had known what I had I most likely would have been treated in the burn unit) is that there is not a lot of research on the life-long effects.

But it's been two years, and I have noticed these effects more and more, and ended up looking into it. There are studies, but not enough for doctors to tell survivors what they're in for. It's tough. My hair is constantly coarse and brittle now, it falls out (supposedly this could be from scarring), the first layer of my skin tends to die and peel off if I skip a few days of skincare (this includes my whole body, not just my face). Recently I skipped skincare for a few days, and my feet hurt so badly from how dry they were that I didn't even want to walk. My nails are weak, and break and bend so easily. I get frequent tears in my skin around my fingernails, and recently I've had a whole entire half of a toenail peel off. My nose and mouth are almost constantly dry, sometimes to the point of pain. TMI, but my nose doesn't run anymore because everything just dries up and gets stuck in there. I have a hard time talking from how dry my mouth can get. And of course, there's a ton of scarring (more TMI, but a lot of the skin on my breasts is purple, though that's not too weird since the chest is one of the most effected areas). I've been noticing my scars more too, and thinking about them more. I notice them when I see my legs a lot in particular.

I was too sick to think about all this last year, but it's just, I don't know... odd, doesn't feel like the right word, but it's kind of surreal that this changed my whole life. So much of my daily routine revolves around caring for my skin, and apparently that's what a lot of burn survivors have to do as well. It's just crazy to think of the severity of what I went through, I guess. If I got more detailed about it you'd all need the body horror trigger warning. I just wish doctors would tell survivors what they're in for for the rest of their lives.

Goals for 2024

Lately, I’ve been in a mental slump, but I want to change that. 2023 was a year of major setbacks which is why I need to work hard for 2024. I need to get back on track and catch up with my peers and make my younger self proud. So right now, I’ve been preparing preparations and experimenting with routines and just hyping myself up. I want to achieve these and have a plan that isn’t that much effort but effective and efficient. They will be mistakes but I need to accept and push my self through it because in the end, it’s only you who can do the things you want and your life/situation can be changed.

Grades

My grades aren’t up to standard that I’ve set for myself and I appear to be slacking off in class—especially math. I failed my Math final. So I would like to change this. I want to concentrate more in school and because of that I’ve looked at who/what was distracting me and decided to cut it off. I’ve left platforms like Discord (still kept instagram, YouTube, and tumblr to document my progress (my biggest showcase of what I could do— my channel is @scarasun) I’ve also cut off a bunch of distracting friends (or ones that I know I can’t get work done with them) and I’ve been training myself lately (with push-ups/curlups for PE and just relearning Math. I want to show more effort in my craft.

Habits and Mentality

I want to create a better work ethic (or have the work ethic I used to have at my rigorous Catholic school) and work to complete my goals. I want to implement routines that I feel would suit better for me and just care for myself. During 2023, I didn’t care about my well-being and that end up becoming sick a lot. Right now, I’ve educated myself in hair care and also skincare and work to achieve better results. I also want to have effort in my appearance (I used to didn’t care if I looked bad) so I’m pushing myself. Lately I’ve been pushing myself beyond my limits with all of my hobbies. I’ve been practicing on my piano more so I can complete my RCM exams and be on track (I was supposed to complete my exam during late 2022 and early 2023).

Lately, I’m rewinding and twisting my mentality to be more positive and being more accepting of mistakes but to push through. I told myself that pain is alright, and sometimes it will help you complete your goals but it shouldn’t be immense pain and you should feel discomfort. I told myself that emotions are fine but you have to push through and that it’s fine to feel and accept that your situation is what you make of it.

Business

After all our preparations like: setting up the Etsy, setting up the socials, and setting up the website— I want to open my business with my friends (the co owners) with an official release in April but with a soft release in late January (we’re taking commissions right now please dm us at @tinyheartsscozm, tinyheartssco on instagram, or at tinyheartsszm@outlook.com

I want to get the business running and maybe be a part of an event during Mid to Late 2024. Right now, I’ve been crocheting a lot just for stock (but not too much). I’m also creating patterns/designs right now as well and will post. Though, I need to learn how to take breaks and create a balance

Preparations are not fully finished and I wished to test it more. Also, I need to start pumping out more videos and become a better editor. I’ve developed a good time/period and make use of my time with editing— not just for business but also for my sister’s and my branding.

These are some of my goals that I need to complete in 2024! I’ll send progress.
