    Beauty Mint: An update.

    I thought I’d do a follow-up post on the skincare I’ve been using: Beauty Mint. A little rundown, for those of you that don’t know what Beauty Mint is or didn’t read my last post about it: Beauty Mint is a subscription brand of skincare where you take a little quiz about your skin (age, problem areas, lifestyle, etc.) and are given a personalized set of four or five products to use. They come once a month, unless you choose to skip a month (as I have done, since I had enough product to last me for longer), and are either $40 or $50 monthly, depending on which program you…

    Thursday’s Adventure: Skincare.

    First of all, I should say I am not being paid by any company to write this. It is all out of my own desire to share good skincare, and nobody told me to write this, or paid me to write this. Although, y’know, the latter would have been nice. 😉 So today is a little different from normal, because it’s not an adventure Mr. Owl and I have had in the last week.

I really loved it because it exfoliated my skin without drying it out, unlike every other product I’d used. Unfortunately, while it did make my skin very smooth (and smelled like something you could eat), it didn’t really help much.

    Suffice it to Say I Have Too Much Time on My Hands.

    I’ve been on a makeup craze lately, if you couldn’t tell. So I was going to do a fairy today,but then realized that I don’t have very much green eyeshadow… and then found some gold glitter…and… well… this is what happened: Yeah. I have a lot of free time. I could very happily live in this makeup. Well, except for maybe the lips. The lips are just uncomfortable. And sorta crunchy. And they make it difficult to eat, which is the more important part. And I’ve just inhaled some glitter. But the rest of it? Yeah. I could live in it. I don’t even mind not having eyebrows.
