Yes, I'm still alive

Sigh. I will never pass for a blogger.

How do people do it? Finding time to sit and write about things...not to mention the picture taking and editing (which I suck at)!

I know so far, my picture quality is not great. I take photos with my phone (Samsung Note 2) and the most "editing" I do is through Instagram.

Until I get that sorted, am afraid I don't think I will blog as much as I want too (ie: about beauty products and such). If I am going to do this, I want to do it right. And accessorize the content with pictures.

Until then, I am sorry to announce, this is going to be one hell of a wordy blog (or one with shit pictures).

And just to prove a point (about the post being wordy), here is a tag!

I found this tag online: here

40 MAKEUP QUESTIONS TAG

SKINCARE

1. How many times do you wash your face daily?
   Twice, morning and night. Sometimes, if my skin is feeling extra dry, i will skip washing my face in the morning (just splash some water).
2. What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
   This is abit of a hard question for me to answer. Here is a backstory:
   Originally, i have combo to very oily skin (and being in adolescence, i thought i had to keep washing my face - thus striping it of its natural moisture);
   As i hit about 18, my skin started to stabilized a little, but since i was consistently trying to get rid of the oils on my face, my skin as become SUPERBLY dehydrated (still oily and pimple prone) - but my skin flakes and peel, but remains oily and shiny;
   About a year ago, i had a major breakout! Not even exaggerating! It was horrible! I did not know the cause (did not change anything in my daily) and nothing seemed to work. So i went to a skin specialist. i was on daily medication for bout 6 months, now on alternate days. This medicine (Roaccutane 10mg) is pretty known in the pimple world. It has cleared up my skin ALOT, but it has also made it VERY dry. So right now, my skin is dry.
3. What is your current facial wash?
   I switch between Origin's Checks and Balance, and La Mer Cleansing Lotion
4. Do you exfoliate?
   I used too, but now with my dry skin, i do not. And if i do - i use a really mild one (meant for daily).
5. What brand do you use?
   To exfoliate or in general? if to exfoliate, it will be NuSkin (their gentle scrub), or if i want a more invasive scrub, i will mix my Bobbi Brown Buffing Grains with my cleanser.
6. What moisturizer do you use?
   Again, i switch out between Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream and La Mer Moisturizing Lotion
7. Do you have freckles?
   No.
8. Do you use eye cream?
   Honestly, i know this is important, i tend to always forget this step! i need to work on that.
9. Do you or did you have acne prone skin?
   Yes. Especially when i first hit puberty.
10. Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?
    Nopes.

I am going to split this in to 2, Skincare and Makeup. Catch it in the next post. :)
