Neutrogena Visably clear

A beauty review by me? Whaaaat!

As I maintain that my blog doesnt really do beauty reviews, last week when The Beauty Bulletin send me a product I couldnt help but do a happy dance right there and then. Also this blog is about things happening in my life so change is good right?



When I received my little package, I was over the moon by the fact that it would be my first beauty review. Excited to such an extent that I literally ripped it open and rushed to the bathroom so I could take my 'Facescrub-Selfie.

Directions for use: Massage onto a wet face once a day and rinse thoroughly.

As I opened the bottle I could already smell the Tangerine and Lime notes. I wet my face and took a small amount of product on my hands and started gradually massaging it onto my face. I loved the microbeads. It makes me feel like my face is actually being cleaned. After feeling satisfied with all the rubbing, I lightly splashed my face with water and watched the product easily just rinse off. No residue or harsh wiping needed. After lightly wiping with a towel, I could immediately see the difference. My skin appeared brighter and I felt like a star I finally get the whole "glow thing" pregnant women talk about. I walked into the kitchen and my mom had noticed too. Excess oils on my face was removed and effectively so.






Sorry my camera isnt advanced enough to include my Halo muhahaha!
I left the product in the bathroom as I have since been using it for about 4 days and my brother who is very finicky about face wash seems to be enjoying it too.

Dear Body: This is an apology

I'd like to start by saying I owe you an apology for so many things.

 I'm sorry for always covering you up and not accepting you.
 I'm sorry for the times I stand in front of the mirror and curse you.
 I'm sorry for when I used to tell you that no guy would look at or want me because of you.
 I'm sorry  that I keep cutting my hair every time you try and let it grow.
I'm sorry I torture you when I go threading in an attempt to make you look prettier.
I'm sorry I make you go through extreme measures to get rid of excess unwanted hair. 
I'm sorry I wear closed shoes all the time because I don't like your toes.
I'm sorry for blaming you for me not being able to shop where I want to.
I'm sorry for buying you sexy lingerie so seldom.
I'm sorry for starving you every time I felt too fat.
 I'm sorry I let other peoples comments about you affect how I feel about you.
I'm sorry for wearing colour contacts because I thought it would make my eyes look better.
I'm sorry for constantly dying my hair.
I'm sorry for abusing you when indulging in Narcotics.
I'm sorry I eat too much of the wrong things.
I'm sorry for starting things and then quitting.
I'm sorry for all the extra work you have to go through every time I light a cigarette.
I'm sorry for comparing you to those girls in the magazine.
I'm sorry for not making time to pamper you on a daily basis. Which is what you deserve. 
I'm sorry for never sticking to a diet to make you healthier.
I'm sorry I put you under so much pressure.
I'm sorry for blaming you for all my insecurities.
I'm sorry for feeling intimidated because you weren't as pretty as her. 
I'm sorry i don't tell you how beautiful you are.
I'm sorry I don't give you enough sleep.


Im sorry it took me so long to realise how precious you are and how lucky I am to have you. I need you to know that I appreciate you even the quirks I used to hate. Its taken me this long to not take heed of what others had to say about you and just love you unconditionally. To love US unconditionally. I should have loved you from the start as much as most things I love. (Sushi and Skittles being on top of the list.) 
Although there are still things we need to sort out, I love you. Every inch of you, Just the way you are.

Acceptingly,

Smiley
