Most people have Sunday Fundays... Me, naturally ostracizing myself further from my peers, I like to spend mine chaotically piecing my life back together from the week (i.e. deep cleaning my apt, grocery shopping, doing laundry, re-merchandising my closet, color coordinating my iPhone apps, talking to my plants, stressing about fallen eyelashes, planning my world takeover ...oh and some light personal upkeep).
Exhaustion set in after my chores, so I decided to take a bath, catch up on my reading, and chill. This Sunday was anything but chill. For a few weeks I have been testing out different face masks in attempt to find the crem de la crem and pass on my findings to you guys. This Sunday I tried a Charcoal peel off mask (which will remain brandless. I don't want any form of slander coming my way). As I initially put on the mask, I noticed the extremely sticky texture. I waited the allotted 20 minutes, and began to peel off. Side note: I have been waxed before and fully comprehend that beauty is pain! This was not un-pleasent but rather a form of torture...like SAW [the movie] torment. As I was tearing off my skin, some of the mask had got in my beard, and was ripping out follicle by follicle. I decided I could forgo this agony by simply getting some shave cream and shave this mask off my face (along with my 5 o'clock shadow). If I was given the chance to continue pulling of this mask or waterboarding... Def waterboarding! The mask came off and inevitably so did my tan and 3 layers of skin. I looked in the mirror at my hairless, pale face (I haven't had a clean shaven face since kindergarten) and instantly saw a resemblance to one of those bald cats! Instead of crying, I instinctivly decided to do a "self-tan cocktail." **This is a self-created term. [Like my drinking] I like to overdue the self-tanning... I use a build-a-tan lotion, let it dry, and then put a layer of the spray tan on (I do not recommend)**. I went to sleep hoping I resurrected the situation, only to awake looking like Winnie Harlow (just giving a visual, I wish I actually looked like Winnie, she is gorgeous!) Word to the wise, if you are brave enough to low budget self tan yourself, you need to be fully stocked with lemon juice & baking soda! Luckily it came off... -And if you see a grown man with a baby face looking like Powder, don't be scared... it's just me! I am currently having PTSD writing this, so I need to go self medicate! Until next time <3 you natural beauties...
