Complexion

Today, I finally treated myself and bought my first moisturizer. The woman at Sephora promised it would "retexturize my face." If by "retexturize" she meant, "make it feel like a rubber balloon," then she was right on the money. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I looked at my face to see if my new age-defying lotion was working. My skin does look younger, it's covered in pimples like a teenager's. FML

Today, I bought a new, expensive face moisturizer. However, it smells like poop. I paid $20 dollars to make my face smell like shit. FML

Today, I realized that that tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML

Today, I followed an acne treatment. It was only after I'd finished the treatment that I read the bottom line, stating "Do not scrub your face". I only had one pimple to start with, now it looks like I sandpapered my face. FML

Glued up

Today, I was grumbling about how they apparently changed the recipe of my favorite lotion and made it all weird and sticky, when I realized that, no, what they actually did was design a bottle of shower cream that looks almost exactly LIKE that of my favorite lotion. FML

Today, I was helping a women that was looking for skin care products. She kept commenting on the look and "texture" of my skin in a very creepy and almost hungry fashion. I'm afraid that she wants to skin me. FML

Skincare routine

Today, I thought I could make my own skincare products from scratch, but I ended up with a weird, greasy concoction, which left a red mark on my hands. It's been two hours and the mark is still there, despite several washes. FML

Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML

Routine maintenance

By xXCHCKXx - 25/08/2023 08:00 - United States

Today, and for the past few days, my skin has been all blotchy and messed up so I tried a new face mask that was supposed to peel off easily. It ended up sticking to my skin like glue. I spent hours in front of the mirror trying to peel it off, one painful sliver at a time. FML

Today, I was at Bath and Body Works with a friend of mine. She wanted me to smell a particular lotion and when she brought it up to my nose, she squeezed the bottle and lotion went all over my face. Right after, a worker came by and commented how the lotion "got a little too excited". FML

Always test out a skin product on a small portion of your hand first to see if you have any negative reactions.

my hands are way less sensitive than my face. if I test something on my hands it may not react but then I put it on my face and neck and it does....

Just a few tips when shopping at Sephora. When trying out something new always ask for a sample. You can either ask one of the store associate for a recommendation or search up a few options online and ask for them in store. If you buy something without trying you can always return it for a full refund. A great thing about Sephora that I enjoy are their favorites kits. They tend to have multiple products at a great price. It's a good way to try out new stuff without committing to the full size.

Order online where you can read reviews?? It's not rocket science it's just like any other product

I have a lot of issues with most moisturizers. The best one I've found is the "Yes to" brand.... I like "Yes to carrots" "Yes to cucumbers" and "Yes to blueberries". I don't usually go for "natural" or "organic" products... but this one is just plain good.

Why spend tons of money at Sephora? Go to your local drugstore and get a bottle of Oil of Olay Moisturizer for sensitive skin. I've been using it for years and no one believes I just turned 40! I frequently get told I look like I'm still in my 20's.

The good thing about Sephora is that you can sample any product before you buy it, I would suggest sampling different moisturizers before hand and seeing which one works best for your skin type. That way you don't waste a ton of money on a product that doesn't work for you :)
