During the last leg of my holiday over a month ago, my skin was already crying out for mercy. Sure I had the Brown Bottle 2.0 to help maintain my skin the best it could but after much flying, eating out, switching of water hardness, etc, my skin was tired. If I was ready to go home, you can say that my skin has packed its bags and is pretty much on its way out.

Now just before I left for the holiday, Sisley contacted me and asked me if I’d like to try their Botanical D-Tox Detoxifying Night Treatment. It sounded like a good serum to try out so I said oh why not. I didn’t realise how much I’d need it until I picked the bottle up from the PO box when I finally came back and after reading the description again, it really sounded like something my parched, dull and patchy skin needed.

I’m quite a paranoid person. In fact, that would be an understatement. I drive Tim absolutely bonkers with my paranoia. The littlest sounds in the house, and I automatically think someone has broken in. I have a bad headache and automatically think I may have a brain tumour. Whenever I’m walking on my own, I always turn behind to see if anyone is following me. I could tell you more but even I’d be scaring myself.

When I started blogging, I was determined to never show my face on the blog. This was before tweeting pictures and Instagramming came about. A selfie wasn’t even a recognised word then. Even on my personal blog (which is now pretty much defunct), I wouldn’t show my face. It was strange blogging about beauty when I couldn’t show my face. Face of the Day posts were something I didn’t think I’d want to do. It became exceedingly difficult for me to review makeup without showing how it looked on me. Readers couldn’t relate to me either. I had a massive wall between us.

The first time I decided to show my face, I wore massive sunglasses that covered half of it. Yeah, real cute. Not really.

Look out your window now and if you see any flying cows, it’s because I finally stepped into a LUSH store without being dragged in by wild horses! 😀

I just wanted to do a quick dash-in-dash-out to check out their shower gels, which I’ve heard good things about. I didn’t get any in the end but I did pick up their limited edition Christmas lip scrub called, surprise surprise, Santa’s Lip Scrub.
