REVIEW: The Body Shop's Facial Brush

Hey there! I promise I'll post more now; school has been weighing me down a lot. -.-

ANYWAY, with the hopes of being able to cure my blooming breakout, I purchased this facial brush from The Body Shop.

^"Get the glow going"? If you mean pimples and horrible irritated spots, then sure, you could say that.

And I was extremely disappointed and mortified at my skin afterwards.
My face wash had run out and I was using a pore cleanser only a few days before to at least clean my face, as well as a dab of rubbing alcohol as my skin had seriously started acting up due to late nights.

Running my fingers over the bristles, it's fairly soft. But on my face, it felt like the strands were scratching and scraping my skin - it felt horrible and was very rough, even when used softly. Being all for something new though, I brushed as softly as I could and "cleaned" my nose.

But the next morning, after my face being abused from using this appliance, I woke up to probably the most horrible breakout I've ever suffered. I don't usually have any problems with acne or break-outs so I know that something triggered the reaction.

For me, I was disgusted and mortified, because along my nose, there were all these crappy little pimples popping up - like a bajillion of them! And still, there are these red spots along my nose; I really hate it.

So I absolutely do not recommend this product - it's my monthly downfall. Cause these things are daily in my life - downfalls, that is... -.-

Also, GFC is shutting down on the 1st of July, I think that's the date.

I've decided to use bloglovin now, so go follow me there! :)

I wore this out the other day to an Easter, Stations of the Cross service. The majority of people were dressed casual and warm because of the chilly weather, so I fit right in; jeans and boots were snug. I'm trying to immerse myself in some more casual/"throw-on" fashion. I think it works better for me, since I don't actually like fretting over small outfit details and whatnot.

I'm gonna buy a new pair of boots, too.

A Leighton Meester Inspired Look; XOXO, Gossip Girl

Hands up if you absolutely love Leighton Meester!

I know I do - she's so freaking gorgeously stylish in every possible way and knows exactly how to rock everything she sports. Which is why I've decided to make a tutorial inspired by one of her make-up looks!

She's widely famous for her role as Blair Waldorf in the TV series "Gossip Girl" (ps. to all those gg fans : OMG. SEASON 6. don't spoil it for me - i haven't found out who's gg just yet). But anyway, a few months back, I brought a Cosmopolitan mag featuring Leighton, and there was one picture that was just gorgeous (actually, all of them were).

 I came up with a look inspired by this one - I know it's not perfect, but a girl can only try to be like Leighton!


1. Prime your lids!

2. Apply a gold, shimmery shadow along and above your eye-crease. You don't really need to be neat with this part.

3. Then apply a taupe/brown-ish colour on your lids, lightly brushing along the crease.

4. Then, with a slightly purple toned colour, brush this above your crease.

5. With a darker purple, or any dark colour you prefer, whether that's black or dark brown, press this on your lid, focusing on the center.

6. Line your waterline with black liner, and with the same purple brused atop your crease, smudge it softly along your bottom lash line.

7. Curl your lashes and apply mascara!

8. Feel free to add more definition by pressing more of the dark eye-shadow on your lids - I did!

9. Apply a plum lip colour and you're done!

I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial - hopefully it's helpful in some way!
And right on cue; the cam-whore moment!

^I look really innocent here! @3@

Don't forget to leave a comment! ^^
Sorry for the lack of tutorials - my face has been breaking out lately from lack of sleep.
Oh, school. -.-

I'll be back with another tutorial soon!
It's nearly Easter too! Eat chocolate till your heart's content!

XOXO, Gossip Girl
