Since it's supposed to come off with warm water, oil cleansers make it super awkward to get off, or I have to splash my face with water first and make the oil cleanser emulsify too fast.

The feedback that I've gotten on this post is making me reconsider my stance on not doing any kind of photos of my face, even cropped swatches of my cheek. Beauty blogging as an environment where one is expected to be, well, beautiful. That's not a credential that I have. However, if people feel like that is actually more beneficial to them and allows them to see how things will perform on troubled skin like their own, then it would be worth doing more of. On the other hand, I've certainly seen plenty of comments online criticizing people who are skincare bloggers for not having good skin; as if they don't know what they're talking about because they haven't managed to permanently solve their own skin condition.Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-55244580791965992012016-06-18T11:13:17.436-07:002016-06-18T11:13:17.436-07:00Aw, thank you so much!

While of course I wish you the skin of your dreams, as a blog-consumer I'm comforted by the fact that you don't have skin that looks like an airbrushed dream. It's hard to take skincare advice from people who have naturally flawless skin, you know? As an adult who still has "troubled" skin -- scarred, pitted, prone to breakouts and irritation -- I've learned so much from your writing, and I think the fact that you've had the same struggles makes you much more credible. Plus, it gives me hope that my skin might still look like yours someday!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957029596314698018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-11519531326127211672016-05-22T11:14:06.901-07:002016-05-22T11:14:06.901-07:00So nice the blog's new look!So nice the blog's new look!Anouk Unvientodelestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349699134887379057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-30373332424598176402016-05-22T05:43:49.635-07:002016-05-22T05:43:49.635-07:00'Inappropriate sheetmasking' speaks to my ...'Inappropriate sheetmasking' speaks to my soul. Gone are the days when I was embarrassed to sport the serial killer chic in public places (aka planes) - but I've yet got to try the roadtrip version!<br /><br />I have no idea how to do glitzy evening looks; even did my wedding makeup myself, which resulted in people thinking I didn't wear any. Sigh. I've improved since then, but I'm still using beige eyeshadow if I actually contour (which is rare) - now I want to try using shimmery eyeshadows for highlighting! <br /><br />Your skin rocks (and glows)! :D Do tell when you find a good brow gel in the AB world to tame hairs, mine have the texture of wires and are horrible. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539057648630361455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-49094528436488953442016-05-20T23:52:44.763-07:002016-05-20T23:52:44.763-07:00Nice!

For my skin I'm using <a href="www.lifecellskin.us/blog/your-skin-care-routine-essentials/" rel="nofollow">skincare by lifecell</a> and satisfied with the results. As your products sounds good, keen to try some of these, specially sheet masks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687306783667600737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-31751671206139521022016-05-19T09:20:21.092-07:002016-05-19T09:20:21.092-07:00Thank you so much, that means a lot! ❤ While my s...Thank you so much, that means a lot! ❤ While my skin was as well-behaved as it gets for this event, it's been a process years in the making to get it this far. It's worlds better than it was before I started this process, but it's never going to be that photo-ready-without-makeup skin, which is a bit discouraging but then I have to compare where my skin was 5 years to now, and there are definitely some improvements.<br />Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-45730157852999327842016-05-19T07:37:25.183-07:002016-05-19T07:37:25.183-07:00Your skin struggles and imperfections make your bl...Your skin struggles and imperfections make your blogs more credible.

Thank you for the compliment, and while I'm really relieved that my efforts to prevent any of the usual face demons from arising before the wedding worked (there's just tiny, easily-covered face demons) my skin is definitely not "beauty blogger skin" and I hate telling people IRL that I have a skincare blog, because they always have this judgey, skeptical look that makes me feel two feet tall. OTL<br /><br />I do wonder how I'd feel about my skin if I didn't have that extra pressure/heightened expectations from blogging about it, but writing has been so fulfilling that I don't regret it. <br /><br />Thanks again ❤Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-26692606519792236432016-05-18T09:44:50.865-07:002016-05-18T09:44:50.865-07:00A cousin wedding is on Saturday and I have to make...A cousin wedding is on Saturday and I have to make a 1-hour plane trip to my parents home in Friday.

I have a Bobbi Brown powder eyeshadow in Cement which makes me look like Robert Smith from the Cure (no judgement! just not my look) but dang, it makes a fabulous contour. The 3 times I tried (gulp).<br /><br />More to the point, your skin looks good, dewy, clear. we are so often our own worst critics, no doubt everyone at the wedding was marveling at your glow.
