The Beginning

I've Decided That I Need to Document My Discoveries on Etsy

I know very little about writing a blog, so I'm just going to have to wing it for a bit. This will mostly be a diary. Somewhere that I can look back and see which products I enjoyed and which I should never touch again.

First, a little about me and my likes and needs. 

-My skin is sensitive. It reacts to anything I put on it (good or bad) in a major way. It'll be irritated and red after I do any type of treatment, even if it's just my morning or night cleansing.

-I'm pale. Extremely pale. You know when you're picking out foundation, powder, or concealer, you have to choose which skin type you are? I always need to pick the lightest. Normally it's called "pale" or "fair". Sometimes, I can't even pick any of a certain brand because they don't make one light enough for me.

-My skin isn't acne-"prone". I wish! I've had a least 5 or 6 blemishes at a time since I was 13. I wouldn't call that "prone to acne". It's more like. . .constant acne. It's been a horrible road for me, but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have to be extremely careful about what I apply to my skin.

-My fiance dislikes rose-scented or patchouli-scented things, so those are out when it comes to buying myself things.

-I adore masks! Love, love, love. I want to try every single one.

-I have a general rule not to spend more than $25 on a skincare product. That means my cleanser, toner, moisturizer, masks, etc. all need to be under $25 each. I think this is extremely reasonable. I don't always get to try the more high end products, but I feel like they wouldn't be worth it.
