Daily ramblings 15th May 2019


Eventually I’ve discovered that the kit I bought at Sephora, was the last because it was still there form Christmas! It was a Christmas edition, so of course there aren’t anymore on the way, maybe next Christmas… I could feel the sales girl tricked me, but I have the feeling she knew as much as I did! I asked if there were any more Pixi products and she showed a body kit by the brand “pai.”. Thinking back, I probably should have said something, in a way no one else would hear, to help her out a bit, though I think it’s the shop’s responsibility. It just goes to show that they don’t care whether the staff is competent or not, nor do they bother making them more competent. When you’re new at any job, even if you studied specifically for that purpose, you will need some help. We don’t know everything. We’re not all Sheldon Coopers!!! Employers should be held accountable for not properly preparing and educating their employees. We all need to start somewhere and we all need help.

Today was really hot again, but tomorrow everything will change. Cannot be free of stress, so nightmares continue to haunt me resulting in lack of sleep. I honestly don’t know what to do and swim practice won’t probably happen for me tomorrow. I guess that until the situation with our house isn’t resolved, my state of mind will no change, no matter how much I try, and stress will not go away either. “Stress free” is an expression that doesn’t exist in my dictionary, but there are several degrees and levels, and at the moment it seems to be at a high level.

I do try do distract myself, of course, but even distractions imply a relatively well-functioning brain, at least the ones I’m most familiar with. However, my brain hasn’t been very cooperative lately and I’ve been crankier and more irritable than usual, making life for those around me harder. And I really don’t like to cause stress to others or make their lives miserable.

Really wish I could eat a French type croissant right now! I’ve been having cravings for those lately. They make some really good ones at the “Pingo Doce” supermarket with whole wheat flower and a few different seeds in the mix. They aren’t very grease or very sweet. For me they are just perfect. Will have to leave it for tomorrow, it’s too hot and I’m too tired to go outside again.

The mirror just showed me einen kleinen Pickel im Gesicht. On my chin, right side. Hormonal, most probably, though I have been over consuming chocolate for a while. It’s Triacneal day, or night actually, so it shouldn’t get worse.



Just finished my yoga practice. Had to push myself into it though, but it’s always worth it. My knee doesn’t feel worse, yet it still hurts. it didn’t swell and I haven’t any bruises, which is a bit strange.

I decided to wear my A’pieu Pop cushion today, to check how it looked throughout the day, since I’ve been using the Caudalie Vine perfect serum. Looks the same, or maybe not, now that’ve checked again: my pores are visible, but they don’t look like little puddles of foundation, if that makes sense. It was one of the reasons why I haven’t been using any type of foundation, lately. Must keep my eye out for that and explore more. The next few days will be cooler and the sun won’t be as strong, so it should be a good time to experiment: I don’t think I can go much longer without trying out the Pixi Glow Toner.

ISDIN Fusion Water SPF 50+ Review and thoughts

Imagem
Definitely my favourite sunscreen to date. I’ve tried an array of products over the years and this is the 2 nd that left a very good impression. The first one, by the way, was The Body Shop’s sunscreen for the body that existed over 15 years ago, when I was still a teenager. The reason: after my usual beach period in the summer, not forgetting I was a stupid teenager that didn’t care about the sun that much, I was the exact same colour as before. No bikini marks anywhere and no tan! Most people like to tan, but I like to enjoy the beach without tanning. I cannot say for sure that the ISDIN Fusion Water does the same, because as soon as the sun starts warming up in Spring, I either wear hats (if you see someone wearing a hat on the street it’s probably me, nobody else wears them) or hide in the shade. What makes me love this sunscreen is it’s velvet touch and light formula . It really mattifies the skin even when wearing foundation. Actually, your foundation would have to be m...

Sunscreen talk

The more you read, the more you research, the more confused you get. That’s how I feel, anyway. Sunscreen is such a complicated science , I think it should be a subject on it’s own available to everybody at school, from a very early age. There are, and will always be, different opinions and for those of us that didn’t go to medical school, it becomes a very big problem. Are they stable, are they safe, are we applying the right amount of product, are we cancelling out SPfs by using other products or even spreading it properly all over the exposed areas, or applying it frequently enough? After many reading and video watching, both always bearing doctor’s opinions, my only conclusion is that most of us are doing it wrong and will continue to do so. "How is it that in the 30s there was 1 in melanoma case in 1,500 people and nowadays there is 1 case in 50" (I think I got the data right, refer to this video on Caroline Hirons youtube channel, her advices and videos have been su...

Pixi Order arrival and daily ramblings 23th May 2019

I received my order from LookFantastic, that I paid with my own money, yesterday! Two Pixi products: Glow Mud Cleanser and the H2O Skin Drink . Of course I used the cleanser yesterday, instead of the Innisfree one. It was a complete different, and still is, experience for me: it doesn’t foam. For me it’s something new, don’t’judge! I’ve always used foam cleansers, without the harsh foaming ingredient SLS, but they still foam up. This does not and it will take some time for me to get used to that fact, it feels as if it’s not doing the job properly. Yet, I used it again this morning and evening. And the glow tonic after. Although while applying the tonic it did sting a bit, it’s been almost an hour and no more stinging or itchiness came about, like the other three times. I’m happy! Next it’s the Caudalie Vino Perfect Serum. However, yesterday night, after cleansing my face, I noticed a small red spot close my nose, on my right cheek. It was there this morning and I used the Vichy...
