I recently reviewed some Erzulie makeup products. If you missed that post, I can sum it up with: Concealer=awesome tier, Lipstick=good tier, mascara= Sucky.
I also purchased some skincare products from the same company at the same time. It can take a full 9 days for skin to adapt to a new routine, so I didn’t want to review the products until I’d used them for at least 2 weeks. To clear up any confusion, the company that makes these products is the same, but the makeup line is called Erzulie, after a loa of love, beauty, and creativity, and the skincare line is called Progress in Health.
I purchased their starter skincare bundle, which contains a toner, a moisturizer, a cleanser, and a eye depuffer stick. I also got a pair of tubes of an acne treatment, one for my purse and one for home.
Lactic Acid Facial Cleanser for Acne and Anti-Aging
My skin is on the drier side of combination. I’m in my mid twenties and that’s the age when wrinkles start showing up when your skin isn’t properly hydrated. I adore this cleanser, because it removes everything, but contains hydrating oils and lactic acid, so I don’t look 5 years older between moisturizer and cleanser. My skin can be sensitive to certain things, which is why I switched to natural products- my skin seems to like them better. I will definitely be buying this stuff again, it works really well! The bottle is on the small side, though, and my one complaint is that the tube this is in has a large hole, and this is a milky cleanser, so a lot more than I need comes out, and I think I will end up using it faster than I want to.
Oxygen Complexion Mist & Toner
I’m a bit nervous about this toner, because it contains peroxide. That’s okay for your skin, because it’s designed to help heal breakouts and get rid of bacteria, but I have bangs and I’m afraid of getting this stuff in my hair. It has kind of an odd smell- not bad, just… odd. I keep it in my bag to spray on my skin when I’m sweaty or after my workouts. It seems like it could have the potential to be drying if I used it every day. I’m someone who breaks out a lot in summer from sweat, so this is nice to have.
Oxygen Facial Moisturizer Lotion
I told you before, my skin is on the dry side. It can also be sensitive to the wrong moisturizers. This stuff is good, and does seem to increase the balance of my skin, which was recently unbalanced and breaking out due to me falling asleep with a facial mask on. It’s a little less hydrating than I hoped, but still very nice. I’ve been using it in the daytime and using my other favorite moisturizer at night.
Aromatherapy Eye Depuffer Balm SOOTHE
This stuff works, and unlike some non-natural products I’ve used, it seems to lighten and depuff genetic dark circles (or allergies, or puffiness from crying) wonderfully, but hydrate at the same time. My undereyes aren’t dried out at all. There’s a definite herbal scent to this product, but I’m kind of a fan. It smells sort of leafy and clean. This passes the “I had PMS and was crying 20 minutes ago and no one can tell” test, the “I have insomnia and got 3 hours of sleep” test, and even lightened the stubborn stuff I have all the time thanks to genetics.
These products work together well, and the breakouts I’d been having for a month from unbalancing my sensitive skin with too much of that facial mask is now back to being smooth and creamy looking. I paid $30 for the set which included the eye depuffer stick as well, and I think that’s an okay deal, although I wish the bottles were available in a bigger size. The toner will probably last forever, but the cleanser is probably only a single month’s supply and I’m not sure how long the moisturizer will last, but I’d guess around 2 months.
I also got two tubes of
Oxygen Blemish Treatment
Which I’ve mentioned earlier. It definitely reduces redness or swelling on existing zits and seems to reduce the time to heal slightly, but I’ve noticed you can not apply it to “trouble spots” and if you use too much, it can irritate skin around blemishes, causing them to mulitply. I love the product, but that’s something to be aware of if your skin is sensitive. This product smells strongly of tea tree oil.
Overall, I’d say I’d buy most of these products again, and that I’ll definitely try out more in the future. My skin can be unpredictable, especially during hot weather, so it’s always nice to find stuff that keeps it nice.

I’ve been on a quest to use more natural products. It did wonders for my hair, and I’ve found that my skin seems to like natural, oil based moisturizers better than “oil free” chemical ones.
So I’ve been trying to replace my makeup with natural products as well. Recently I spoiled myself with a bit of a haul from Erzulie Cosmetics. I tried them out this morning before running some errands, and I’m ready to leave my first review. I’ll update it after about a week’s worth of use of the products I liked.
GODDESS GLOW™ Liquid Brightener
I’m a big fan of how my face looks when I use Aromaleigh’s Mineral Finishing powders– for the first hour or so. My skin is combination, but I live in a dry apartment and spend a lot of time outside in all weather, so it can be dry sometimes. And I’m at that age where I’m just starting to have little lines around my mouth and between the eyes, but only when I have dry skin, so moisturizers are essential. After the first hour of wearing powdered mineral foundation, my lovely oil based moisturizers are SUCKED into the powder and I look 35 instead of 25. I’ve tried Glissade, her product for drier skin, but it still doesn’t give the look I want and still sometimes looks dry in winter. So I was basically reading the blurb and hoping this was sort of like a mineral finishing powder in a tube with argan oil and other natural moisturizers.
It wasn’t. This stuff is more like the benefit product girl meets pearl, or another sheer pink highlighter. When I applied it to my face for the first 10 minutes or so I looked like the bastard lovechild of 15 year old greasy teenage snape and a cullen vampire. Weird, greasy and shiny. It calmed down after about half an hour, but the overall effect is a soft shimmery glow that might be great for mature skin but didn’t do much for me and didn’t soften imperfections. On the plus side, it was nicely moisturizing and I may buy the foundation and mix the two for a kind of soft, glowy matte complexion. I think this would be super cute as a cheek highlighter or maybe used lightly around the eyes. The tube is on the small side, but I think it’s worth the money.
MINERAL LIP & CHEEK COLOR in DESIRE & Lipstick RX Color and Shine™ IN GWEN
These are some nice, conditioning tinted balms. They glide on smoothly and aren’t chalky, grainy, clumpy, or waxy… They’re cute and I’ll probably wear them for daytime. I was hoping Gwen would be a bit more of an orangey coral rather than a pinky one, as those look better on me, but it’s a cute shade on. Desire looks dark in the tube but has very little color payoff, whereas Gwen has more, but I don’t see much of the advertised shimmer. That’s a good thing for me, since I prefer a nice matte lip, but if that’s not what you’re looking for, be aware. Swatches were taken with a 2.5 megapixel camera in medium natural sunlight. I used the blur tool on the background, in an intentionally clumsy manner, so you know the colors aren’t shopped.
These are simple to apply and reapply, but aren’t going to stay put long. I may buy some of the more brown based shades, but I wish there were more orangey nudes available. I also received a cute flavored lip balm tube as a sample, it appears to beJUICEE™ LIP GLOSS in TROPICAL BERRY
It’s nicely hydrating and has good glide, and it smells fabulously fruity… sort of like melon. It tastes like fruity bubblegum. My mom tried to steal it from me yesterday, that’s how good it smells.
I love handmade products and I usually try to look at both the pros and cons of a product when reviewing it, and rarely give negative reviews. But this mascara sucks. It’s a nice thick, dark black shade, but within a few seconds of putting it on, I had dark rings like eyeliner around my eyelids, and blinking smudged and made it worse, and it took me 20 minutes to wipe off the offending black without spreading the smudges around. For the review’s sake I left it on to run my daily errands, and within an hour and a half of putting it on, I had 90’s heroin chic heroine eyes. I’d be willing to bet that this product would NOT do that if you were not using other oil based products like the undereye concealer that come with the erzulie collection, but I’ve been searching for a mascara to wear with natural makeup, and it makes no sense to me for a company to put out a product that’s incompatible with every other product they make. So my search for a nice natural based mascara shall continue.
MINERAL EYELINER PENCIL in Sugar Plum & Eyelite
This eyeliner crayon is a beautiful deep almost black plum, and makes a nice, thick line that’s great for smudging alone. If you want a precise line, you’ll probably need to use a primer or some kind. When I first got the pencil, I needed to run it over the back of my hand a few times to soften it, but then it went on nicely with minimal pulling. I’ll probably investigate other colors of this. The “Eyelite” shade is basically a pink-tinted white eyeliner for use at the inner corners and waterline. The pencil is thick and chunky, and the line went on in a perfect soft smudge at the inner corner, but it was hard to get this on the waterline because it’s so small. It stayed in place fairly well, but be careful not to get any darker products, like the mascara, into the pencil because it picks them up and spreads them around.
MINERAL CORRECTOR Yellow & MINERAL ERASE CREAM
I was sort of upset when I saw the “mineral erase cream” for the first time, because the jar is tiny, but the product is a solid cake and not much is needed to cover a blemish… you can touch it with a fingertip and come up with enough to cover two of them. I haven’t even made a dent after blending this with the yellow corrector to cover undereye circles and then covering a blemish and applying a small amount to my nose to reduce shine. I have genetic dark circles, and blending the two concealers covered them really well, but this stuff does tend to sink into undereye lines a bit. That’s easy to fix with a brush or by dabbing with a fingertip, though. The yellow corrector is very strong, and a little will go a long way. It really is just pure soft yellow in a tube, so you will probably need to mix it with a concealer. I will probably buy both again and set them with a little bit of powder to cover my undereye circles while lasting all day.
Progress in Health (their skincare brand) Oxygen Blemish Treatment
I never had blemishes at all until I started needing stronger moisturizers. For awhile, after switching to natural products, I didn’t have any, but a recently tried out product broke me out very badly. This stuff has a very strong tea-tree and astringent smell, but it reduces swelling and redness when you dab it onto a zit, and after two treatments my blemishes do seem a bit smaller.

Stop, right now, and tell me who you think you are.
No, seriously. Write a schoolteacher approved paragraph, or a facebook bio.
Now I want you to take out the names of any musical acts, any authors, any quotes from film, and any content you didn’t create yourself.
Now remove the names of any groups, organizations, or affiliations. No clubs, no subcultures, genres, no current or past occupations.
Next, remove any information on people you know and places you’ve studied.
What’s left? I’m willing to be not much.
Did you go to public school? Did you learn about the world from a group of films involving slouchy men in fedoras, or derive your sexual kinks from an experience in childhood? Did you get your politics from your parents? Did you learn your work ethic from your first boss? Did you first hear that tune that you feel describes you absolutely perfectly because it was playing on a sunny day when you rode in a friend’s car?
All of your life experiences involve other people. All of your definitions of yourself involve creations of the mass media, ideas of what is or isn’t cool this week. All of your favorite bands are bands someone recommended to you. Amazon.com has recommended you some books based on books other people who loved your favorite author (who you discovered because of the shelf stocking habits of kindly secondhand bookstore owners) also liked, and they led you to more books, or to new friends who had also read them. You don’t get high because of your mother’s ex burnout boyfriend, or you DO get high because of that cool girl you wanted to have sex with your first year of college, and SHE gets high because she loved a band and got introduced to weed in line at one of their shows by a guy who wanted to get into her pants.
Most importantly, I’m willing to bet that you have a job, in which people pay you in some capacity to do things, and that if they stopped, you wouldn’t stay alive for very long.
No one on this planet is an island.
And I’m sick to the point of feeling like a bloody lipped consumptive saint in a victorian novel over the idea that somehow, magically, the only way I’m going to have a meaningful life is if I stop NEEDING connection with other people. Even fucking narcissists need someone to supply their demands, even sadists and sociopaths need something to poke. Every time someone says something about how you’re socially awkward, or worried about your relationship, or upset that you know people judge you unfairly in the workplace, or that you wear makeup, or anything at all, some pseudo guru is going to come out with the idea that you need to “work on yourself” or that you don’t love yourself enough, or that if you just wander off and do something by yourself, this will somehow make people enjoy your company more.
This is a lie of the highest malignant order. The kind of thing that creates over 9000 robots who sit in their basement playing final fantasy and waiting for someone to magically meet them and fall in love with their special unique snowflakeness.
I happen to think sometimes that I am awesome. I PUNCH the keys when I type, like I’m the only person in the world who is secretly using typewriter keys. I sing out loud when I’m walking around in the middle of the night and don’t give a crap how I sound, because it’s about using it to draw toxins from my body. I have great style, and the shape of my hips and lips are both nearly perfect.
But why the hell does any of that matter if I starve to death because no one will hire me? Why does it matter if I, personally think, like a certain weird little pointed teeth person I used to be in love with, that “I sometimes look in the mirror and think I would totally fuck me?” It doesn’t, because fucking yourself is still masturbation, and people who hate themselves are the new sex symbols in our society anyway, if you believe the average profile of a porn star or camwhore as a girl desperate for affection. Why does it matter if I love myself if no one else gives a shit if I live or die?
Wouldn’t logic say that if no one can stand a person, there’s probably something wrong with THEM, not the rest of the world? Wouldn’t sense dictate that if you’re too busy loving yourself, you’re going to miss opportunities to do things other than look in the mirror?
If you want to be a human being, and not lady gaga, go do something that will connect you with other people. Worry less about not loving yourself enough and more about finding other people who love you. It’s how our society worked for thousands of years before the invention of self esteem, and it seemed to hold together nicely most of the time.

I’m not a bikini girl. Even if I was super skinny, I wouldn’t be a bikini girl, because I like to SWIM. I don’t see a combination of a clumsy girl, a waterslide, and a piece of clothing that is held on literally by a thread as being a good one. Not to even mention lap swimming.
But still. This looks like a simple way to keep motivated to work out. I’m one of those people who’s totally motivated until I screw up and then I immediately become lazy as hell because I’m ashamed and afraid of compounding the screw up.
So let’s give it a try. In keeping with my desire to start writing again, maybe I’ll log my progress on here.

Seriously, google. Either privacy advocates are blowing this shit way out of proportion or you have no idea how to use data profiles.
I’m a big fan of google chrome and online shopping. For me, it’s less about buying stuff and more about finding stuff… some sort of skewed hunter gatherer instinct or a way to deal with being a shopaholic with no money. I’m also a big fan of polyvore. So I routinely visit certain websites to look at their new stuff.
Since the new “google is spying on your info to use to make ads more personalized” debacle, I’ve mainly got ads for sites I routinely visit like modcloth, oldnavy, justfab, clockwork couture, etc.
I’ve even noticed ads specifically for products I’ve viewed on sites I visit regularly.
This does not make sense. Why would I click on an ad for a product I’ve already seen or a site I already regularly visit? It would be much more efficient if, for example, knowing I regularly visit clockwork couture, tend to look at “plus size” clothing, and tend to buy handmade products, for ads to show up for custom made steampunk clothing from a site I haven’t visited since I got my new computer like Steampunk Threads.
If this is the best google’s spying can do, I’m not concerned anymore about it using ads to attention deficit us away from doing things that the illuminati doesn’t want us to do. If you can’t even distract me when I’m bored and have a decent addiction to online shopping with my browsing history at your disposal, I think you won’t be brave new worlding anyone going to websites for, say, the 99% spring with the perfect porn ad or the most distracting video game.

Natural’s not it
It’s been bugging me for awhile, but the current contest for Polyvore takes the cake. This is a contest about being a “natural beauty” if you only have a few beauty products in your daily routine, with a bunch of stock photos of heavily made up models, the least “natural” beauties on earth even without makeup and photoshop.
I don’t think it’s possible for our current society to even comprehend what a “natural beauty” would look like. The shocking photos that sometimes surface of stars without their makeup can’t count, because the average star has a personal hair stylist who conditions, perms, trims, and clarifies. She has a doctor who gives her vitamins or pills if she has bad skin. She has someone who personalizes a skincare regimen that costs more than I make in a month in extractions, peels, and masks. She has a personal trainer and maybe a nutrition guru who maintain the fashionable optimal bodyfat and muscle percentages. Her eyelashes are lattisse’d, her eyebrows shaped, her clothes custom tailored to optimize whatever body shape is the best this week.
And to be honest, most women in the first and even parts of the developing world do things to their body on a daily basis to bring it in line with the ideal. I’m not saying that’s bad, I myself moisturize, henna, take vitamins, etc. Some of the people I idolize most are very open about the various things they do to take care of and optimize their appearance, from swearing by a raw food diet, putting their current favorite workout in the latest issue of SHAPE, or having it as a life goal that a real girl rockstar starts her own hairstyle.
That’s not the problem. The problem is thinking that a woman who regularly alters herself is a “natural beauty.” The problem is breaking the aesop from romantic novels by casting heavily made up women who make a career out of maintaining their looks and who are waay who are more attractive than the girls at home watching as the “natural beauty.”
Believe it or not, girls are listening.
For a long time, I felt helpless about my appearance because I believed in the virtue of the “natural beauty,” who is always the romantic lead. Girls who never wear makeup or do much physical activity but are naturally perfect looking. Girls who often run up against mean girl villains who are shown to have had plastic surgery. to struggle with an eating disorder, or are eventually gotten the better of when the hero talks about how he doesn’t like girls who wear makeup. The cultural myth simultaneously preaches that a beautiful person is more moral, more worthy of love, and smarter. It bears out in real life where pretty people get the job and make more money, and where even small children view an attractive person as being smarter and nicer than an ugly one. But at the same time, the cultural myth that produces impossible standards of attractiveness tells us that we shouldn’t be doing anything to improve our looks, and encourages women to keep just how much we do to look good something of a secret.
Men buy into this myth in a huge way. I regularly see men talking about not liking girls who wear a lot of makeup… usually while posting some starlet like Ellen Paige, who of course isn’t a “natural beauty” by her job definition and who is often sporting copious makeup in the picture. I once posted to a thread like this on 4chan, saying that I wear mascara because I have completely blonde eyelashes. The probably non-troll reply was “Why not try one of those products that will make your lashes grow in thicker and darker?” Because I should use a cosmetic procedure that costs a lot more than a $10 tube of mascara so you can keep up with the myth that you are dating a “natural beauty” in your own head.
If you do something to enhance your appearance, you’re not a “natural beauty.” This isn’t a judgement on my part- Like I said, I take very good care of my hair, my skin, etc. What I’m trying to get at is that if we want people who do little to nothing to keep up with the attractiveness standards of the day, we need to change those standards dramatically. If you want to not date “fat chicks” and you live in america where our lifestyle is naturally most cohesive to being overweight (with the exception of a few major metropolitan areas) chances are, your girl watches her weight in some way, so you can either have a “fat chick” or a natural beauty. If you want to date a girl with no acne, do you really care if she takes vitamins or accutane, or uses cleansers and masks to keep her skin clear, and that forgoing them for a week would lead to less than clear skin?
I think the most encouraging thing right now for those of us caught in the trap that we’re not good enough because we’re not perfect naturally is bloggers who share beauty regimens. Everyone knows models carry impossibly high standards, but how many times have you felt jealous of a real person with a real job and an income level close to yours who has perfect hair or the ass shape you wish you were born with, or is the same age as you but doesn’t have the little lines you’re starting to get around your mouth?
For me, knowing that that girl has a better ass because she is willing to spend many more hours at the gym, or that that girl’s perfect hair isn’t just perfect genetics but a great hairstylist and regular protein treatments, or that that girl doesn’t have lines because she uses 3 different serums is a huge help. Not because I always run out and do all of those things, but because I know I’m not just missing some natural beauty boat that everyone caught except me. Maybe I could have those things if I was more willing to work for them, and I don’t need to feel inferior to someone who has more time or more money to put into skincare, haircare, or fitness. I can move on knowing that I made different choices.
Despite the popular perception, almost no one in our society is a true natural beauty. But that’s okay. It’s more important that a girl be a nice person than that she decides not to dye her hair, or wear moisturizer. Never leaving the house without eyeliner is not a moral failing on your part. No one should be able to make you feel like you’re bad for wanting to look a certain way, as long as that’s truly what you want. The truth is most good looking people in modern society work hard to keep themselves looking nice. It’s not something you should tease others about. In the end, all beauty is only the finished product that we see, not anything more or less. It’s not indicative of moral winnings or failings, and a person who works hard to look a certain way is no better or worse a person.

You know how so many people are saying that a big part of the reason the job market is so bad is because no one is hiring because there’s not work for them to do? Demand, as any economist can tell you, drives the market. If customers are willing to buy something, someone will supply it for them to buy. So if you’ve currently got cash, here are some simple ways you can make sure your dollars go to people who need them.
Buy handmade
When you buy something handmade, the profit goes to the person who made that item. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who have been able to build up a customer base that lets them support themselves entirely on their handmade products. Not only that, but as long as you’re savvy about it, you can get a much more high quality product for a lower price than if you went to a major retail chain.
How to get started- a list of some of my favorite handmade retailers!
Reviews of amazing handmade products!
Buy local
Instead of going to OldNavy.com, go to Old Navy. The more people that go into the store, the more cashiers, sales floor associates, and cleaners they need to hire. Also, the clearance racks at stores can often have better deals on the items you see online, and you can easily try on items for the best fit.
Shopping in real life also gives you the advantage of being able to turn shopping into a social activity, or use it to get some exercise. Walking all over the mall to find the perfect gift for your mom burns more calories than sitting at home on your PC!
Whenever you can, Buy American.
There’s a surprisingly long list of products made in america, and though I completely understand not always being able to afford american made goods, there are small ways to make your contribution. For example, I’ve started buying Kimberly Clark paper and personal care products, because most of them are made right here in the midwest- a good amount are actually made in Wisconsin! My area of the state was primarily impacted because of plant closings, so I try to buy products made here when I can.

Check out sites like Glassdoor and don’t shop at places that treat employees badly.
Even if a place is locally owned, there are a lot of businesses in my community that I choose not to patronize because they do things like hire 3 employees for one open position, then keep the best one. They hire people only for temp positions, or screw them on hours. They hire delivery drivers and don’t reimburse them for gas money and pay them “tipped wages” meaning that their employees may or may not break even. They have high turnover to avoid paying long term employees benefits. These places need to be stopped, and one way to do that is to refuse to patronize them. If you frequent a franchise or local store, one of the best ways to know if a company treats their employees badly is if they are always hiring or there’s always a different person behind the counter. High turnover is almost never a good sign- people keep jobs that treat them well.
Donate!
If you’re one of those lucky people who’s desire to buy awesome things and money to do so outstrip your ability to actually USE those items, why not consider shopping for someone else? Get information on needy children and buy some christmas gifts for them. Knit or buy mittens, hats, and scarves and donate them to charities in your area that make sure everyone has warm clothing. Go to thrift or discount stores and pick out items for a working wardrobe and donate them to the career closet in your city! Those amazing deals you found on shampoo and personal care products can be donated to local charities to help make sure that the needy can keep themselves clean. If you have a lot of things at home that you rarely use, skip the thrift shops and put them up on the free section of CraigsList or Freecycle!
Buy used!
Thrift stores often donate a share of profits to good causes in your local community. Rummage sales and vintage retailers online benefit mainly the person who bought the items or the original owner. A lot of times those items are resold from thrift shops they were at where they weren’t selling, so some of the money will often still go to local charities. This can also be an excellent way to save money as many expensive products these days are based on vintage designs.

Ballet flats are lame.
I hate them. I walk for the majority of my transportation, and I’m also on my feet a lot at work. Flats are super-comfy if you’re a typical midwesterner who spends more time sitting than standing or walking, but after 5 hour shifts at my jobs, women who wear ballet flats are usually complaining about how much their feet hurt.
There’s NO cushioning for your feet, so anytime you’re walking on a hard surface, your feet take the brunt of your weight… we’re designed to walk on dirt or sand, not concrete. There’s also no arch support at all in most pairs, which of course can cause all kinds of problems.
Like flip flops, many basic styles of flats tend to pop off the foot easily, especially if you have a wide foot, high arches, or are a half size forced to buy non-half size shoes (because there aren’t any, but that’s another issue.)
There’s also the fact that, unlike most other flat shoes, they are actually TOO flat for the foot. Doctors agree that a slight heel (less than an inch) is actually better for your feet and back. Not to mention that a 100% flat shoe does not flatter the legs.
The main virtue I see for them is that they’re cheap to make, and unless they’re designer, cheap to buy. But it’s definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
Sadly, for some reason few people seem to know anymore that basic, flat shoes that aren’t ballerina flats exist. They’re getting harder and harder to find.
When I hear one of my female co-workers complain about how uncomfortable her feet are, and tell her it’s because she’s wearing crappy shoes… Her number one reply is “But I can’t wear sneakers to work!”
There are so many comfortable, stylish, work appropriate shoes that don’t have a heel out there. Find a pair and wear them. They might cost more than $10, but you won’t need to buy another pair in three weeks, either. If you’re like me, a decent pair of shoes… one that lasts a girl who walks 2-4 miles a day outdoors 4 months without breaking, costs $40. If you don’t do as much walking around, that same pair will probably last you a year or more. Spend the money in the short term and save on back pain and buying new shoes all the time. It’s not rocket science.

Doll Parts
