Update: On ÷Cracked Eyeliners, Skin Regimen, Makeover

1. What is up with the humidity?! We sisters are both shocked that MAC Fluidline in Black Track and the Maybelline Gel Eyeliners (both in Black and in Brown) cannot stand up to all the moisture this season. We thought there might be something wrong with the way we were putting on our makeup. Are the shadows bad? Is the Kryolan Eye Primer not working anymore? Or are our lids just too darn inhumanly oily?!

... But wow, even our non-oily friend Anna can't make her line stay put. So yes, the weather should be blamed for bad makeup. Cracked up eyeliners are ugh!


2. This is Tracy speaking, and VMV Hypoallergenics Superskin Set 3 (Oily Skin) is BAD. I utterly hate the system with a passion. 


See, I've been on Beauche and I have consumed three sets. While this line is effective in preventing acne and treating discoloration, it is also too strong that it makes my face red all over. So I decided to switch to a gentler set. But after three weeks of using VMV, it gave me cystic zits on the chin, a couple on the cheeks and the forehead. And I've never had those for more than 8 months now. Must be allergic to Coconut Oil!

Skin Nazi for Me! =(

I've gone back to my nightly ritual of using Beauche products. In the morning, I've started using The Body Shop Natrulift (Cream Cleanser, Facial Wash, Softening Toner, Firming Serum, and Firming Day Cream). While I know it is meant for more mature skin, I can't help but use these items because: (1) I feel my face is aging fast, because of all the harsh regimens I've been on to treat my problematic skin in the past (which includes Accutane, Obagi, Glytone, etc.); (2) I need a line that helps rebuild and moisturize my face without making me break out.

I use all the items recommended during the day when I'm at home and makeup-free. When I am going out, I limit myself to the Facial Wash and the Day Cream (which serves as a very good primer). After a week --- my skin texture's better and is getting clearer, I don't get cystic breakouts anymore, and I have minor zits only (because it's almost the time of the month)! Not as red as a TO-MA-TO well. So far so good!

Watch out for the upcoming giveaway we'll host very soon at Peachy Pink Sisters... And you may get yourself The Body Shop's Natrulift Firming Night Cream, pegged at almost PhP 1, 795.00!


3. Dawn's best friend, Elizabeth, is demanding a makeover again! Haha =) She wants to get punked up this time around. Ideas, ideas. 

Liz wants to be more cool and maangas than this!

That's all for now. New posts coming up very soon!

Cheers,

Trace and Dawn
