Red velvet

Saw this at Target while I was doing some shopping and figured, why not? There was only one left and it looks so cute...

Hair

One of my biggest flaw is my hair! Its flat, thin, and just so...plain jane. When I curl them, theyre flat at the top making my face appear bigger than it really is. I was talking to a friend of mine (who has beautiful hair) if there is any tricks to making hair more voluminous:

1. After shampooing and conditioning your hair, blow dry upside down and ligtly hairspray

2. Comb your hair wth a wide tooth comb and tease your hair with a regular comb

3. Lightly hairspray

Sounds cliche, but it works!

Straight, curly or up? which is best?

Generic Tazorac

 

I purchased a bunch of topical medication from alldaychemist.com a few months back because I was desperate for a cure for my acne. I have heard and read numerous reviews on retin a and tazorac and cannot afford to seek a dermatologist, so i opt for prescription-free products online instead. I used tazorac in the past and did wonders for my skin, and so did retin-a micro - but this was years back and I do not remember the formula I have used. Each product consist in gel and cream form and also consist of different percentages to match your skin type and depending on severity of your skin. I am not suffering from hormonal acne nor have much pimples, but am suffering from blackheads, whiteheaads, clogged pores, milias, and flesh colored bumps on my forehead and cheeks.

I do tend to switch products and makeup a lot so I do not know what is the culprit for my breakouts. Was the sea salt toner too aggravating? Maybe the Dove soap was too irritating? Perhaps using the Clarisonic 3 times a week was too much for my sensitive skin? I pulled Tazorac 0.05% out from my drawers and used it last night because I need something to clear my skin. Here is my current routine as of last night:

Morning:
FAB Cleanser from Sephora
Need a sunscreen..any rec??

Evening:
FAB Cleanser from Sephora
Tazorac 0.05%

I'm afraid to use anything else. I also purchased Differin gel and clindamycin from inhousepharmacy.biz last week. I am super excited to get my hands on Differin. I will do a review on Differin in the future (Use to be on Differin for 3 years.)
